of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o transgression_n that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n must_v be_v satisfy_v &_o consequent_o that_o either_o we_o must_v bear_v god_n wrath_n and_o

this_o be_v my_o body_n you_o must_v figure_v and_o represent_v he_o to_o you_o as_o proffer_v and_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n his_o father_n these_o admirable_a word_n and_o speech_n recite_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 10._o hebr._n 10._o thou_o will_v have_v no_o sacrifice_n or_o offer_v but_o thou_o have_v give_v and_o appropriate_v i_o a_o body_n thou_o have_v take_v no_o

here_o christ_n jesus_n come_v to_o present_v himself_o in_o the_o place_n and_o steed_n of_o all_o these_o sacrifice_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v up_o under_o the_o law_n and_o which_o be_v daily_o

shall_v take_v and_o wash_v away_o sin_n and_o therefore_o my_o belove_a brethren_n observe_v here_o the_o readiness_n and_o favour_n which_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n make_v and_o provide_v for_o you_o of_o a_o most_o convenient_a and_o requisite_a victim_n and_o oblation_n when_o isaac_n be_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v there_o be_v a_o ram_n find_v tie_v by_o the_o horn_n to_o a_o bush_n to_o be_v

wrath_n and_o indignation_n but_o jesus_n christ_n as_o be_v simple_o god_n can_v not_o present_v himself_o in_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o man_n for_o there_o want_v a_o humane_a sacrifice_n because_o sin_n have_v be_v commit_v and_o perpetrate_v by_o man_n wherefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v you_o this_o be_v my_o body_n he_o say_v not_o this_o i_o be_o but_z this_o be_v my_o body_n thereby_o purposely_o to_o conduct_v and_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o incarnation_n whereby_o he_o be_v descend_v from_o heaven_n have_v take_v and_o assume_v a_o carnal_a body_n and_o be_v make_v man_n for_o we_o so_o that_o conjoint_o with_o these_o word_n you_o at_o one_o time_n see_v your_o great_a sacrifice_n take_v from_o earth_n and_o yet_o descend_v from_o heaven_n take_v from_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v a_o body_n descend_v from_o heaven_n for_o it_o be_v my_o body_n say_v our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o i_o true_a god_n with_o the_o father_n here_o therefore_o be_v the_o wonder_n which_o you_o ought_v to_o meditate_v on_o that_o nothing_o be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o world_n no_o nor_o in_o the_o infinite_a multitude_n and_o infinity_n of_o all_o god_n creature_n which_o can_v be_v capable_a to_o be_v our_o ransom_n towards_o god_n then_o lo_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n descend_v so_o low_a as_o he_o make_v himself_o man_n and_o a_o creature_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v offer_v up_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o he_o who_o essence_n be_v whole_o simple_a and_o spiritual_a assume_v a_o body_n and_o be_v material_a and_o carnal_a he_o who_o be_v invisible_a to_o our_o eye_n have_v make_v himself_o conspicuous_a and_o visible_a to_o we_o permit_v and_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v beat_v tie_v and_o nail_v to_o a_o cross_n yea_o to_o be_v run_v through_o with_o a_o spear_n and_o in_o a_o word_n capable_a to_o be_v sacrifice_v and_o here_o you_o may_v know_v and_o find_v why_o jesus_n christ_n hold_v the_o bread_n say_v not_o this_o be_v my_o divinity_n but_z this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o not_o his_o divine_a but_o only_o his_o humane_a nature_n can_v be_v offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_n the_o divinity_n be_v well_o consider_v but_o still_o as_o offering_n not_o as_o offer_v according_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o hebrew_n 9.14_o heb._n 9.14_o that_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o up_o to_o god_n by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n by_o which_o mean_n it_o be_v not_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v for_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v be_v to_o die_v but_o the_o body_n have_v be_v offer_v by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n and_o here_o arise_v unto_o we_o another_o wonder_n to_o wit_n that_o although_o christ_n humane_a nature_n be_v offer_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v of_o as_o great_a a_o price_n and_o value_n as_o if_o his_o divinity_n itself_o can_v have_v be_v offer_v and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o this_o his_o humane_a nature_n compose_v not_o but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n with_o the_o divine_a nature_n for_o this_o body_n which_o be_v crucify_v be_v
