and_o couple_v together_o not_o corporal_o or_o so_o as_o their_o union_n may_v be_v discern_v and_o judge_v by_o the_o outward_a sense_n for_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v diverse_a time_n sunder_v by_o distance_n and_o difference_n of_o place_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o wedlock_n which_o they_o have_v mutual_o give_v minist_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o say_v or_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o the_o same_o must_v be_v with_o reason_n to_o the_o edify_n of_o they_o that_o see_v our_o work_n or_o hear_v our_o word_n wherefore_o eusebius_n you_o shall_v rehearse_v if_o it_o please_v you_o such_o reason_n as_o you_o take_v to_o be_v the_o fit_a for_o the_o prove_v of_o that_o which_o you_o have_v say_v euseb_n 5._o ephes_n 5._o the_o first_o be_v that_o s._n paul_n after_o he_o have_v teach_v that_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o of_o his_o bone_n allege_v not_o only_o the_o resemblance_n but_o also_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o marriage_n say_v for_o this_o cause_n shall_v a_o man_n leave_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o shall_v cleave_v to_o his_o wife_n and_o they_o twain_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh_n this_o be_v a_o great_a secret_a but_o i_o speak_v concern_v christ_n and_o concern_v the_o church_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v show_v we_o the_o mean_a whereby_o this_o conjunction_n be_v make_v and_o for_o our_o better_a and_o more_o ready_a conceive_v of_o the_o same_o that_o we_o may_v set_v before_o our_o eye_n the_o union_n and_o conjunction_n that_o be_v between_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v spiritual_a whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o order_n the_o government_n the_o law_n the_o promise_n the_o power_n the_o glory_n &_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o apperteine_a to_o the_o honour_n and_o renown_n of_o a_o kingdom_n be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n spiritual_a therefore_o when_o we_o do_v speak_v of_o the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o member_n with_o the_o head_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a member_n we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o the_o mean_a to_o attain_v unto_o it_o be_v other_o then_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a the_o three_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n entreat_v of_o this_o matter_n covertlie_o under_o the_o figure_n and_o shadow_n of_o eat_v of_o his_o flesh_n &_o see_v that_o some_o of_o his_o disciple_n have_v forsake_v his_o company_n and_o be_v offend_v at_o his_o talk_n because_o they_o have_v not_o well_o understand_v they_o and_o have_v interpret_v they_o carnal_o say_v for_o the_o better_a &_o more_o ample_a expound_v of_o they_o as_o follow_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o be_v spirit_n &_o life_n can_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o clear_a to_o show_v that_o the_o eat_n of_o his_o flesh_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o union_n which_o we_o have_v with_o his_o humanity_n be_v make_v and_o bring_v to_o pass_v spiritual_o even_o as_o therefore_o the_o ignorance_n and_o bluntness_n of_o nicodemus_n deserve_v to_o be_v blame_v and_o to_o be_v control_v of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o he_o do_v carnal_o expound_v and_o construe_v the_o reason_n of_o jesus_n christ_n touch_v the_o new_a birth_n of_o the_o faithful_a so_o if_o any_o man_n hear_v speech_n of_o the_o eat_n of_o his_o flesh_n or_o of_o the_o drink_n of_o his_o blood_n make_v simple_o and_o according_a to_o the_o letter_n understand_v the_o same_o without_o all_o figurative_a speech_n and_o spiritual_a meaning_n his_o ignorance_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v deride_v as_o a_o vain_a and_o foolish_a thing_n but_o also_o to_o be_v contemn_v as_o impious_a and_o tend_v to_o the_o diminish_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o four_o be_v that_o our_o father_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v do_v all_o eat_v of_o the_o same_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o do_v all_o drink_n of_o the_o same_o spiritual_a drink_n for_o they_o drink_v of_o the_o spiritual_a rock_n that_o follow_v they_o &_o that_o rock_n be_v christ_n now_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o they_o can_v not_o eat_v that_o rock_n corporal_o as_o we_o do_v eat_v our_o bread_n make_v of_o corn_n because_o christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o yet_o incarnate_a and_o make_v flesh_n wherefore_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o as_o their_o eat_n be_v spiritual_a so_o be_v our_o eat_n spiritual_a be_v whole_o like_a unto_o they_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v the_o apostle_n the_o five_o be_v 3._o act._n 3._o that_o the_o heaven_n as_o saint_n peter_n say_v must_v contain_v jesus_n christ_n until_o the_o time_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v restore_v which_o god_n have_v speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o his_o prophet_n since_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o article_n that_o we_o protest_v that_o we_o hold_v when_o we_o rehearse_v the_o creed_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a folly_n yea_o a_o impiety_n to_o think_v that_o it_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o eat_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o the_o drink_n of_o his_o blood_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n &_o that_o corporal_o and_o in_o person_n he_o shall_v deliver_v the_o same_o unto_o we_o to_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n the_o sixth_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v to_o his_o disciple_n say_v unto_o they_o 16._o john_n 16._o that_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o they_o that_o he_o shall_v leave_v the_o world_n and_o go_v his_o way_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o thing_n not_o only_o unprofitable_a but_o also_o hurtful_a and_o dangerous_a to_o the_o church_n that_o he_o shall_v return_v hither_o in_o his_o own_o bodily_a shape_n before_o the_o time_n prefix_v and_o purpose_v the_o seven_o be_v that_o the_o supper_n must_v be_v celebrate_v in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o he_o as_o it_o be_v plain_o show_v in_o the_o commandment_n that_o he_o give_v when_o he_o do_v institute_v the_o same_o now_o the_o remembrance_n that_o we_o have_v of_o any_o matter_n presupposeth_a the_o same_o to_o be_v absent_a corporal_o for_o otherwise_o if_o it_o be_v present_a there_o be_v no_o more_o a_o remembrance_n but_o a_o sight_n and_o enjoy_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o supper_n be_v ordain_v to_o exercise_v we_o in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v absent_a from_o we_o in_o body_n the_o eight_o be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o command_v to_o celebrate_v and_o to_o declare_v his_o death_n but_o until_o the_o time_n of_o his_o come_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o shall_v come_v among_o we_o in_o body_n when_o we_o be_v assemble_v for_o that_o purpose_n we_o ought_v to_o cease_v and_o to_o leave_v of_o this_o whole_a ceremony_n the_o nine_o be_v that_o as_o a_o glorious_a and_o spiritual_a body_n do_v not_o eat_v so_o it_o can_v be_v eat_v corporal_o for_o otherwise_o we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v digest_v in_o the_o stomach_n as_o other_o meat_n may_v be_v and_o consequent_o may_v be_v subject_a to_o corruption_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o body_n glorify_v which_o be_v not_o only_o immortal_a but_o also_o free_a from_o all_o corruption_n the_o ten_o be_v that_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o ordain_v for_o the_o life_n of_o our_o body_n be_v not_o to_o be_v eat_v corporal_o but_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n crucify_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o our_o redemption_n be_v not_o ordain_v for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n which_o may_v be_v and_o be_v preserve_v and_o keep_v by_o other_o mean_n therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o we_o neither_o eat_v the_o one_o nor_o drink_v the_o other_o corporal_o the_o eleven_o be_v that_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o meat_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o belly_n 6._o 1._o cor._n 6._o and_o the_o belly_n for_o meat_n but_o god_n shall_v destroy_v both_o it_o and_o they_o teach_v we_o that_o as_o this_o life_n be_v frail_a and_o subject_a to_o corruption_n so_o be_v also_o all_o those_o bodily_a meat_n that_o be_v ordain_v for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o same_o so_o then_o if_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v bodily_a eat_v it_o shall_v follow_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o corruption_n a_o thing_n clear_o &_o mere_o contrary_a to_o that_o whole_a discourse_n of_o s._n john_n upon_o this_o matter_n whosoever_o eat_v my_o flesh_n 6._o john_n 6._o have_v eternal_a life_n where_o he_o further_o make_v a_o difference_n between_o it_o &_o manna_n give_v to_o our_o father_n in_o the_o wilderness_n say_v that_o the_o one_o be_v corruptible_a the_o other_o be_v void_a and_o free_a from_o all_o corruption_n
