place_n he_o say_v what_o have_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v wherefore_o if_o thou_o have_v receive_v it_o why_o boast_v thou_o as_o though_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o and_o

whether_o these_o three_o virtue_n faith_n hope_n &_o charity_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n or_o else_o distinct_a virtue_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o chief_o whether_o the_o one_o may_v not_o be_v take_v for_o the_o other_o the_o answer_n touch_v these_o three_o singular_a property_n gift_n of_o god_n s._n paul_n speak_v distinct_o give_v to_o each_o of_o they_o their_o peculiar_n property_n 1._o thes._n 1._o we_o give_v thank_n unto_o god_n almighty_a for_o you_o all_o make_v mention_n of_o you_o in_o our_o prayer_n remember_v always_o your_o effectual_a faith_n diligent_a or_o work_a love_n and_o steadfast_a hope_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryst._n etc_n etc_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o give_v thanks_n and_o prayer_n unto_o god_n he_o teach_v that_o these_o virtue_n be_v free_o give_v from_o he_o unto_o man_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o pray_v and_o render_v thanks_n unto_o he_o and_o unto_o faith_n he_o attribute_v a_o certain_a effectual_a work_n because_o that_o from_o her_o all_o good_a work_n yea_o hope_v and_o charity_n do_v spring_n and_o he_o call_v charity_n diligentor_n work_v because_o true_a charity_n or_o love_n labour_v and_o exercise_v herself_o to_o please_v both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o to_o hope_v he_o attribute_v steadfastness_n and_o patience_n because_o paul_n in_o the_o eight_o to_o the_o roman_n say_v that_o we_o be_v make_v safe_a through_o hope_n but_o hope_v if_o it_o be_v see_v be_v no_o hope_n for_o how_o can_v a_o man_n hope_v for_o that_o which_o he_o see_v but_o if_o we_o hope_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v not_o by_o patience_n we_o look_v for_o they_o therefore_o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n be_v distinct_a virtue_n and_o have_v each_o their_o proper_a operation_n and_o therefore_o be_v they_o several_o reckon_v by_o s._n paul_n 1_n corin_n 1._o in_o which_o place_n he_o say_v that_o other_o these_o three_o be_v again_o these_o virtue_n be_v so_o couple_v together_o and_o depend_v so_o one_o of_o a_o other_o that_o they_o can_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v have_v several_o for_o who_o so_o right_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o his_o word_n the_o same_o also_o hope_v to_o receive_v the_o thing_n he_o look_v for_o like_a as_o paul_n teach_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n abacuc_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n cap._n 10._o again_o who_o so_o right_o believe_v in_o god_n love_v he_o as_o his_o chief_a and_o everlasting_a good_a and_o love_v man_n because_o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n redeem_v by_o he_o as_z s._n john_n teach_v in_o his_o epistle_n and_o therefore_o paul_n to_o the_o hebrew_n cap._n 11._o interpret_v faith_n by_o hope_n say_v faith_n be_v the_o substance_n or_o ground_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v hope_v for_o and_o in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o timothe_n he_o show_v that_o charity_n spring_v from_o faith_n say_v furthermore_o the_o end_n of_o the_o commaundementis_fw-la love_n from_o a_o pure_a heart_n a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a therefore_o like_a as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o sun_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o alone_o so_o be_v there_o but_o one_o faith_n and_o yet_o be_v she_o not_o alone_a but_o as_o from_o the_o sun_n proceed_v two_o several_a thing_n so_o that_o thereby_o three_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o sun_n that_o be_v the_o globe_n or_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n from_o which_o proceed_v brightness_n and_o heat_n and_o these_o three_o be_v so_o join_v in_o one_o sun_n that_o by_o no_o mean_n they_o can_v be_v separate_v and_o yet_o be_v they_o three_o distinct_a thing_n have_v each_o their_o several_a property_n so_o likewise_o these_o three_o virtue_n faith_n hope_v and_o charity_n be_v so_o knit_v together_o that_o by_o no_o mean_n they_o may_v be_v separate_v and_o yet_o be_v they_o several_o distinct_a wherefore_o even_o as_o from_o the_o globe_n or_o substance_n of_o the_o sun_n as_o from_o one_o spring_n light_n and_o heat_n do_v flow_v so_o from_o faith_n also_o both_o charity_n and_o hope_n do_v spring_n and_o as_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o the_o light_n or_o the_o heat_n so_o faith_n be_v neither_o hope_n nor_o charity_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o without_o heat_n and_o light_v and_o faith_n be_v not_o without_o hope_n one_o and_o charity_n and_o as_o the_o sun_n shine_v by_o his_o brightness_n and_o not_o by_o his_o heat_n so_o faith_n inasmuch_o as_o she_o receive_v justify_v christ_n justify_v we_o before_o god_n and_o not_o through_o charity_n therefore_o
the_o eternal_a wisdom_n of_o god_n see_v not_o these_o thing_n before_o he_o institute_v the_o cup_n and_o can_v not_o he_o if_o it_o have_v seem_v to_o he_o good_a have_v forbid_v the_o lay_a man_n the_o use_n of_o the_o same_o but_o sith_o the_o eternal_a wisdom_n of_o god_n have_v give_v the_o same_o unto_o they_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o therewith_o unless_o we_o will_v seem_v to_o have_v more_o wisdom_n than_o god_n and_o may_v not_o the_o priest_n i_o pray_v you_o shed_v the_o wine_n as_o well_o as_o the_o lie_v man_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v not_o the_o same_o be_v forbid_v

body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n be_v a_o true_a and_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o bless_a office_n of_o the_o mass_n incessant_o for_o the_o quick_a &_o the_o dead_a until_o the_o come_n of_o chryst_n the_o answer_n sigh_v we_o have_v sufficient_o more_o before_o prove_v that_o the_o true_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n corporal_o it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o same_o can_v not_o be_v offer_v up_o in_o the_o mass_n by_o the_o priest_n but_o yet_o the_o romish_a church_n teach_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v corporal_o and_o substantial_o present_a and_o in_o the_o office_n of_o their_o mass_n offer_v up_o to_o god_n by_o the_o priest_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v but_o the_o form_n of_o the_o mass_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o be_v increase_v by_o the_o long_a continuance_n of_o time_n with_o diverse_a addition_n right_n &_o ceremony_n so_o as_o gregorius_n the_o seven_o pope_n do_v confess_v that_o in_o his_o time_n the_o mass_n be_v not_o celebrate_v in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o world_n after_o one_o manner_n wherefore_o without_o all_o doubt_n the_o apostle_n peter_n james_n and_o mathewe_n do_v never_o celebrate_v the_o mass_n use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a thereof_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v by_o good_a right_n put_v away_o and_o abolish_v the_o romish_a mass_n and_o in_o the_o stead_n thereof_o have_v right_o and_o godly_a ordain_v the_o supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v godly_a celebrate_v in_o the_o old_a apostolical_a church_n without_o any_o of_o the_o pope_n or_o man_n tradition_n or_o addition_n and_o therefore_o to_o the_o foresay_a question_n we_o answer_v that_o we_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v nor_o receive_v the_o mass_n for_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n but_o flee_v from_o it_o as_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o profession_n partly_o for_o cause_n already_o show_v and_o partly_o for_o such_o cause_n as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v show_v but_o that_o we_o may_v the_o

propitiatory_a for_o the_o reconciliation_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o other_o of_o thank_n give_v in_o which_o we_o exercise_v our_o faith_n serve_v god_n &_o geve_v he_o thanks_n both_o with_o word_n and_o deed_n for_o his_o benefit_n bestow_v upon_o we_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o sacrifice_n propitiatory_a be_v shadow_v and_o figure_v by_o many_o figure_n yet_o be_v there_o but_o one_o thing_n which_o they_o all_o do_v signify_v to_o wit_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n wherefore_o after_o that_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o remain_v here_o a_o certain_a time_n that_o he_o may_v offer_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n on_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n he_o ordain_v ●n_z his_o supper_n the_o

from_o hence_o forth_o on●●_n to_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o all_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v figure_n and_o to_o witness_v that_o as_o christ_n by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v promise_v a_o saviour_n so_o in_o the_o ●ewe_a testament_n he_o be_v come_v and_o have_v perform_v it_o and_o so_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n have_v take_v away_o for_o ever_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a wherefore_o when_o our_o lord_n will_v of●●r_v sin_n himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o that_o 〈…〉_o hour_n be_v

be_v obtain_v unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o therefore_o so_o soon_o as_o our_o lord_n be_v dead_a and_o have_v in_o this_o sort_n offer_v up_o himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n his_o heavenly_a

do_v the_o old_a testament_n the_o levitical_a priesthood_n and_o all_o the_o other_o sacrifice_n take_v their_o end_n whereunto_o they_o be_v ordain_v therefore_o now_o rest_v but_o the_o one_o only_a and_o everlasting_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o chief_a holy_a and_o most_o perfect_v and_o such_o be_v the_o property_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n that_o it_o neither_o can_v nor_o yet_o
