you_o shall_v want_v that_o beauty_n which_o god_n only_o accept_v again_o hungry_a if_o you_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n you_o shall_v be_v hungry_a you_o shall_v be_v wretched_a and_o miserable_a

which_o shall_v strengthen_v he_o for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o soul_n have_v a_o meat_n as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n otherwise_o why_o do_v christ_n say_v i_o have_v a_o meat_n to_o eat_v that_o you_o know_v not_o of_o they_o wonder_v to_o see_v he_o neglect_v his_o dinner_n when_o he_o stand_v talk_v with_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n john_n 4._o why_o say_v he_o i_o have_v another_o

do_v typify_v the_o spiritual_a meat_n which_o be_v angel_n food_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o food_n th●t_v the_o soul_n feed_v on_o out_o of_o christ_n there_o be_v none_o of_o this_o but_o your_o

brief_o and_o proceed_v first_o whereas_o man_n say_v they_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v far_o off_o and_o indeed_o such_o thing_n move_v not_o much_o i_o say_v they_o be_v already_o present_a they_o

be_v beyond_o the_o wine_n and_o oil_n beyond_o the_o dainty_n and_o honour_n which_o they_o have_v who_o have_v their_o portion_n in_o this_o life_n therefore_o you_o have_v something_o for_o the_o present_a indeed_o the_o outside_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v but_o base_a but_o the_o inside_n be_v precious_a this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o earthly_a in_o

one_o answer_n to_o it_o that_o you_o have_v much_o of_o it_o for_o the_o present_a and_o beside_o this_o remember_v though_o you_o have_v it_o not_o present_a yet_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o after_o and_o what_o great_a matter_n be_v it_o to_o want_v a_o little_a to_o enjoy_v more_o for_o the_o future_a be_v we_o not_o content_a to_o buy_v great_a reversion_n with_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o little_a

in_o thing_n that_o concern_v salvation_n not_o to_o be_v content_a to_o want_v a_o little_a for_o the_o present_a to_o enjoy_v happiness_n for_o ever_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o his_o

the_o papist_n out_o of_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n where_o christ_n speak_v so_o much_o of_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n which_o say_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o corporal_a manducation_n of_o eat_v his_o body_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n we_o will_v speak_v one_o word_n of_o this_o first_o that_o this_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o clause_n be_v evident_a because_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o then_o institute_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v he_o shall_v have_v relation_n to_o that_o because_o christ_n speak_v to_o those_o that_o may_v understand_v he_o the_o word_n be_v intelligible_a at_o the_o least_o now_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o those_o that_o hear_v he_o shall_v understand_v he_o of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o and_o if_o they_o say_v that_o be_v their_o dulness_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o dulness_n not_o to_o conceive_v that_o which_o simple_o can_v not_o be_v know_v this_o that_o have_v no_o be_v can_v not_o be_v know_v and_o therefore_o this_o be_v certain_a he_o have_v not_o relation_n to_o that_o beside_o that_o if_o you_o mark_v the_o course_n of_o the_o word_n you_o shall_v find_v he_o say_v there_o that_o rather_o the_o flesh_n be_v turn_v into_o bread_n than_o the_o bread_n to_o flesh_n say_v he_o i_o be_o the_o true_a bread_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n he_o repeat_v that_o often_o in_o the_o chapter_n vers_fw-la 51._o i_o be_o the_o live_a bread_n and_o my_o flesh_n be_v bread_n and_o i_o give_v life_n to_o the_o world_n so_o that_o you_o shall_v find_v more_o reason_n if_o you_o read_v that_o chapter_n why_o the_o flesh_n shall_v be_v turn_v to_o bread_n than_o the_o bread_n into_o flesh_n but_o beside_o that_o the_o eat_n of_o christ_n flesh_n and_o the_o drink_n of_o his_o blood_n be_v always_o take_v in_o a_o good_a sense_n and_o it_o be_v always_o peculiar_a to_o the_o saint_n and_o therefore_o verse_n 53_o 54._o you_o shall_v find_v both_o express_v except_o a_o man_n eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n he_o have_v no_o life_n in_o he_o again_o whosoever_o without_o exception_n eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n he_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o christ_n will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n so_o if_o you_o take_v the_o word_n general_o as_o christ_n express_v they_o and_o so_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v then_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o his_o flesh_n shall_v be_v eat_v in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o his_o blood_n drink_v because_o many_o that_o shall_v eat_v his_o flesh_n there_o in_o a_o corporal_a manner_n shall_v not_o be_v save_v which_o you_o know_v themselves_o grant_v beside_o there_o be_v many_o that_o never_o eat_v his_o flesh_n nor_o drink_v his_o blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v save_v and_o have_v life_n in_o they_o as_o you_o know_v the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n go_v immediate_o to_o paradise_n though_o he_o never_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n nor_o drink_v his_o blood_n all_o the_o patriarch_n before_o christ_n do_v not_o they_o drink_v the_o same_o spiritual_a drink_n do_v they_o not_o eat_v the_o same_o spiritual_a meat_n as_o we_o do_v but_o they_o never_o eat_v it_o in_o the_o sacrament_n marry_o magdalene_n when_o she_o have_v never_o taste_v of_o the_o sacrament_n say_v christ_n go_v thy_o way_n thy_o sin_n be_v forgive_v thou_o what_o need_v i_o give_v you_o instance_n of_o child_n that_o die_v it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n they_o set_v it_o down_o in_o plain_a term_n that_o child_n that_o be_v baptize_v though_o they_o eat_v not_o the_o sacrament_n and_o drink_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o eat_v his_o flesh_n be_v save_v and_o therefore_o christ_n own_o word_n must_v be_v mean_v in_o this_o sense_n and_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o a_o corporal_a eat_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v of_o his_o blood_n but_o because_o those_o word_n unless_o you_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n you_o can_v have_v life_n be_v a_o place_n which_o the_o papist_n do_v much_o urge_v as_o if_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v answer_v and_o appeal_v herein_o to_o the_o father_n we_o will_v show_v you_o brief_o that_o it_o be_v so_o interpret_v by_o the_o father_n that_o live_v near_o the_o apostle_n time_n as_o by_o we_o now_o before_o there_o be_v any_o popish_a doctor_n to_o corrupt_v the_o
