the_o first_o beget_v of_o the_o israelite_n and_o the_o preeminence_n or_o dignity_n of_o the_o first_o beget_v have_v always_o be_v very_o great_a by_o the_o civil_a law_n the_o first_o beget_v do_v

to_o the_o other_o brethren_n be_v portion_n give_v the_o first_o beget_v do_v excel_v the_o rest_n in_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o priesthood_n therefore_o when_o cain_n and_o abel_n do_v strive_v about_o their_o birthright_n they_o contend_v not_o about_o a_o trifle_n but_o about_o a_o matter_n of_o very_o great_a weight_n whereupon_o when_o the_o mother_n virgin_n be_v say_v beget_v in_o

return_v to_o our_o purpose_n again_o the_o dignity_n of_o priesthood_n among_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v of_o right_o belong_v to_o reuben_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o beget_v but_o he_o by_o commit_v detestable_a incest_n do_v loose_v his_o right_a next_o to_o he_o therefore_o be_v levi_n who_o also_o lose_v that_o dignity_n for_o the_o sin_n which_o he_o commit_v in_o kill_v the_o man_n of_o sichem_n traitorous_o and_o profane_v the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n but_o because_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n do_v behave_v priest_n itself_o manful_o not_o only_o in_o the_o bring_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n but_o also_o in_o punish_v idolater_n i_o mean_v the_o man_n that_o worship_v the_o golden_a calf_n therefore_o do_v they_o receive_v the_o office_n or_o dignity_n of_o priesthood_n in_o reward_n of_o their_o virtue_n and_o at_o that_o time_n be_v the_o levite_n choose_v into_o the_o place_n of_o the_o first_o beget_v of_o all_o the_o séed_n of_o israel_n for_o thus_o we_o read_v and_o moses_n say_v unto_o the_o levite_n consecrate_v your_o hand_n unto_o 32._o the_o lord_n this_o day_n every_o man_n upon_o his_o son_n and_o upon_o his_o brother_n that_o there_o may_v a_o blessing_n be_v give_v you_o this_o day_n and_o again_o and_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o moses_n say_v behold_v i_o have_v take_v the_o levite_n from_o among_o 3._o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o all_o that_o first_o open_v the_o matrice_n among_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o levites_n shall_v be_v mine_n because_o all_o the_o first_o

forth_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n be_v appoint_v to_o the_o priesthood_n in_o the_o church_n of_o israel_n moreover_o this_o dignity_n or_o ministry_n be_v singular_o

antonianus_n call_v such_o schismatic_n who_o usurp_v unto_o they_o the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n no_o man_n give_v it_o they_o and_o this_o kind_n of_o call_v be_v unproper_o call_v a_o calling_n wherefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o in_o the_o church_n church_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o calling_n and_o that_o public_a and_o lawful_a aswell_o for_o many_o other_o cause_n as_o especial_o

and_o also_o feed_v his_o people_n unto_o life_n everlasting_a but_o let_v i_o set_v down_o a_o more_o large_a description_n thereof_o unto_o you_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o holy_a

and_o communion_n and_o show_v unto_o we_o his_o gift_n and_o lay_v they_o before_o our_o sense_n gather_v they_o together_o into_o one_o body_n visible_o and_o to_o be_v short_a will_v have_v his_o

this_o in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o i_o again_o it_o can_v be_v every_o action_n for_o at_o the_o table_n where_o we_o eat_v meat_n we_o also_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n we_o break_v bread_n and_o give_v the_o cup_n but_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a action_n because_o it_o be_v from_o god_n and_o institute_v unto_o the_o church_n wherefore_o it_o far_o differ_v from_o our_o ordinary_a meat_n supper_n as_o well_o for_o that_o it_o be_v special_o institute_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o church_n as_o also_o because_o it_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o peculiar_a example_n of_o christ_n therefore_o s._n paul_n make_v a_o difference_n between_o this_o and_o common_a eat_n say_v if_o any_o man_n hunger_n let_v he_o eat_v at_o home_n lest_o that_o you_o come_v together_o
