I will come into him and will sup with him and he with me This is the Gospel-communion here was no outward Bread nor Wine Cup nor Chalice but here is that which the bread and wine pointed at the cup of blessing If we walk in the Light as he is in the Light we have Fellowship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin 1 Joh. 1.7 In the Light Fellowship with the Lord is known and Fellowship one with another and the Word is known which became Flesh and tabernacles in man this the Redeemed eat feed on discern and though it be said The Flesh profitteth nothing Joh. 6. and that Flesh and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God 1 Cor. 15. yet 't is said Except ye eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood ye have no Life in you and he that eateth my Flesh and drinks my Blood dwelleth in me and I in him Joh. 6. And Paul said We are Members of his Body of his Flesh and of his Bones Ephes 5.30 And these are no contradiction● but fulfilled in the ground of Self-denyal in the cross to the mortal the Lords Death is shewed forth till he come who lives forever who abolishes Death and brings Life and Immortality to light thorow the Gospel 2 Tim. 1.10 yea and Joh. 3.13 The same that descended the same is ascended and is flesh and bone and nourishes the Soul to eternal Lise here the end of Shadows is known Augustin said truly if truly and livingly read To eat Christ is to believe in Christ why providest thou a Tooth and a Belly believe only and thou hast eaten Faith centers in the eternal Word in the quickning Word so that is revealed which fulfils outward Shadows other things as well as Bread and Wine were not of perpetual continuance nor needful to be practised in the Church after their bounds and season John 13.14 15.

Jam. 5.14 Paul testified saying Henceforth know we no man after the flesh yea though we have known Christ after the flesh yet now henceforth we know him no more 2 Cor. 5.16 Paul was so spiritualized as that he centered in nothing below the eternal Substance he stickt not in Bread and Wine or any other Shadow but in fervency of spirit waited to be comprehended in the prefixed Life as a man that so looks for a lost Jewel that he overlooks all besides it outward things reach no further then fleshly Knowledge but a spiritual Understanding is revealed in by and thorow that which is spiritual Of Transubstantiation Though Israel saw the Wonders of the Lord in Aegypt the Execution of his Judgments for their Deliverance though the Lord went before them by Day in a Pillar of a Cloud and by Night in a Pillar of Fire though they passed thorow the Red Sea as upon dry Land and saw the Aegyptians drowned so that thorow a sense of his Power and mighty Acts they sang a Song of Praise and Thanksgiving unto the Lord saying He was glorious in Holiness fearful in Praises doing Wonders yet coming unto Mount Sinai on to which Moses was called and continued 40 Dayes and 40 Nights Israel fell into a spiritual Lethargy to forget the Lord and his Noble Acts and losing the sense of the pure living invisible eternal God they cryed for artificial Gods Gods of Mans making saying to Aaron Vp make us Gods which shall go before us for as for this Moses that brought us out of the Land of Egypt we w●● what is become of him Exod. 32. Aaron made them a Calf and they said These be thy Gods O Israel which brought thee up out of the Land of Egypt thus losing the sense of the Living and Life-giving God they turned to cryed up and ascribed their Deliverance to a Molten Calf fashioned with a Graving-Tool In the Apostles days and primitive times while their Garments were undefiled being Branches of the Heavenly Olive kept their Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus they had the Bread of Life Water of Life Heavenly Manna the Word that became Flesh in the persumed Houses of sanctified Hearts they drank of the Cup of Salvation the Cup of Blessing they were come to Mount Sion they were Members of the New Jerusalem they were in the spiritual Worship they came to the Life Sum Substance of all Types Figures Shadows and all thorow the Operation of Christ Jesus in them who led them from the Aegyptian-Bondage of Hellish Pharaoh old Abaeddon the Destroyer they knew the Prince of Peace Christ Jesus and their Labour and living concern was that in all things he might have the Preeminence But in dayes succeeding the Apostles when the Mystery of Iniquity which the Apostle saw inwardly working in his day was more and more manifested the Star faln from Heaven Sun and Air darkned the Purity of the primitive Church spoiled through the Smoke of the bottomless Pit through the Darkness and Delusion of this Smoke they lost the bread of Life the cup of blessing within so came to reassume bread and wine without and let in a Sea of Confusion about the same some ministring it to all some to Believers only sometime to Young Children sometime to Dead People c. and the more the Smoke arose out of the Pit the greater Darkness entred the Professors of Christianity till at length like as Israel having lost the sense of the living God called for Gods without so had a Molten Calf and worshipped the same ascribing their Deliverances thereunto even so apostatized Christianity having lost the Bread of Life the Cup of Blessing Christ Jesus thorow the in-steamings of the bottomless Pit they must have an artificial Christ how is that since the Apostles dayes when the Life and Power of Godliness was lost then this Doctrine came to be preacht That Bread and Wine after it be consecrated by the Priest is no more Bread and Wine but the very Christ that was born of the Virgin so to be worshipped that the Bread and Wine by the consecration of the Priest is transubstantiated that is changed into the very Body and Blood of Christ from this came the word Transubstantiation this Doctrine is grounded upon those words This is my Body for from these words Papists say Christ is present transu●stantially Lutherans say consubstantially Calvinists say He is present sacramentally Author of the Naked Truth Whether the Bread and Wine after consecration be transubstantiated or not hath been and is much controverted betwixt Papists and Protestants One said Corpore de Christi lis est de sanguine lis est Lis est de modo non habitura modum How Bread and Wine the living Christ should be 'T is controverted much men disagree The Council of Trent begun in the year 1545. and others taught That Bread and Wine being consecrated by the Priest is turned into the true real substantial Body of Christ Flesh Blood Bones c. even the same that was

Many give it as Dinner time yet call it a Supper Most of these things if not all are more or less touched in this following Discourse and may be read and seen by such as trace the steps of Ecclesiastical Writers A Testimony for the Evangelical Communion in the Bread of Life in the Cup of Blessing BEfore the Armies of Israel went harnessed out of Aegypt the Lord instituted a Passover so called because in slaying the First born of Aegypt both of Man and Beast and in executing Judgment upon all their Gods the Houses of the Israelites were passed over What were the Israelites to do Every House was to take a Lamb without Blemish c. and eat it within the Doors with Unleavened Bread How were they to eat it With their Loyns girded up with Shoes on their Feet with Staves in their Hands Who were to eat of it The Israelites no Stranger was to eat thereof no Uncircumcised Person Exod. 12. Who pass thorow the Ministration of Condemnation to Christ the Evangelical Passover the spiritual Paschal Lamb they truly read this thing Now Christ who came not to destroy the Law but to fulfil it before he was sacrificed up or the Hand-writing blotted out or nailed to the Cross the Hour approaching of his departing out of Aegypt as I may say a perverse froward gain-saying contradicting life-opposing World to be glorified with the Father as he was glorified with him before the World was he enjoyned his Disciples to prepare the Passover a Figure a Shadow now he being offered up the thing was to be read within the Cross to be known within which crucifies Flesh with the Affections and Lusts thereof the Word of God quick and powerful sharper then a two-edged Sword to be known within cutting down captivating Flesh and the Fruits thereof and passing over the Seed which bears his Image thus they came to Christ the Evangelical Passover to the Lamb without Blemish the Food of the spiritual Israel in the House of their sanctified Hearts which is not come unto but where the Loyns of the Mind have been girded up Feet shod with the Preparation of the Gospel Staff in the Hand on this no Stranger no Uncircumcised Person feeds Christ said to his Disciples as Luke relates it Luke 22.15 16.

Paul gave record to this to the Corinthians Purge out the old Leaven that ye may be a new Lump for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us 1 Cor 5.7 Who are come to this Lamb without Blemish they are crowned with a continual Festival At the Passover Christ took Bread and blessed it brake it and gave it to his Disciples saying Take eat 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 this is my Body From these words no small Confusion hath risen among School-men and
