not_o omit_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o bread_n use_v by_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n though_o it_o be_v occasional_o unleavened_a because_o of_o the_o law_n which_o command_v such_o bread_n to_o be_v eat_v with_o the_o passeover_n yet_o be_v it_o make_v of_o dough_n and_o not_o of_o batter_v and_o so_o be_v that_o which_o proper_o be_v call_v bread_n and_o be_v use_v with_o our_o meat_n and_o not_o wafer_n which_o have_v not_o that_o use_n 10.16_o 1._o cor._n 10.16_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n give_v it_o the_o name_n of_o bread_n yea_o of_o a_o loaf_n and_o from_o the_o apostle_n day_n during_o the_o primitive_a church_n the_o father_n observe_v that_o course_n of_o use_v loaf_n of_o bread_n one_o thing_n more_o i_o must_v observe_v concern_v the_o element_n and_o that_o be_v that_o neither_o of_o they_o must_v be_v embeazele_v from_o the_o people_n that_o neither_o of_o they_o must_v be_v want_v for_o christ_n take_v both_o neither_o may_v they_o be_v confound_v the_o

to_o show_v you_o what_o be_v do_v with_o they_o and_o here_o we_o find_v two_o work_n first_o jesus_n his_o work_n and_o second_o the_o work_n of_o his_o disciple_n both_o double_a i_o begin_v with_o jesus_n work_v whereof_o the_o former_a be_v he_o consecrate_v the_o element_n and_o his_o consecration_n be_v perform_v by_o two_o act_n first_o blessing_n than_o thanksgiving_n blessing_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o the_o creator_n blessing_n be_v threefold_a as_o the_o person_n that_o bless_v may_v be_v of_o three_o sort_n first_o only_a god_n than_o the_o blessing_n be_v real_a so_o he_o blessed_v his_o creature_n gen._n 1._o and_o promise_v to_o bless_v israel_n deut._n 28._o second_o only_a man_n so_o the_o blessing_n be_v but_o verbal_a thus_o isaac_n bless_v jacob_n and_o jacob_n the_o twelve_o patriarch_n gen._n 27.49_o so_o king_n pastor_n father_n bless_v their_o subject_n their_o people_n their_o child_n speak_v the_o word_n but_o reserve_v the_o

make_v his_o word_n effectual_a as_o god_n when_o he_o multiply_v the_o loaf_n and_o the_o fish_n and_o when_o he_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n christ_n not_o only_o bless_v the_o creature_n but_o he_o give_v thanks_n also_o to_o the_o creator_n christ_n have_v power_n enough_o of_o himself_o be_v god_n but_o he_o do_v ordinary_o ascribe_v the_o power_n unto_o his_o father_n while_o he_o do_v work_v the_o redemption_n of_o man_n so_o be_v he_o please_v by_o his_o humility_n to_o make_v amends_n for_o our_o pride_n and_o to_o supply_v our_o forgetfulness_n by_o his_o thankfulness_n he_o acknowledge_v he_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a and_o give_v he_o the_o glory_n of_o all_o his_o wonderful_a work_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n only_o by_o adoption_n shall_v be_v humble_a as_o he_o be_v our_o pattern_n which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n the_o psalmist_n go_v far_a and_o conclude_v we_o if_o we_o be_v unthankful_a to_o be_v worse_o than_o beast_n see_v the_o eye_n of_o all_o thing_n look_v unto_o he_o which_o give_v they_o their_o meat_n in_o due_a season_n psal_n 145.15_o wherefore_o whether_o we_o eat_v or_o drink_v corporal_o
