but_o it_o concern_v the_o true_a christian_n who_o though_o they_o fight_v manful_o against_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n do_v notwithstanding_o fall_v darly_a and_o be_v

whereby_o all_o our_o misdeed_n be_v pardon_v 1._o and_o we_o make_v heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o for_o a_o token_n and_o faithful_a pledge_n hereof_o in_o stead_n of_o a_o seal_n he_o have_v

whereas_o he_o repose_v not_o in_o trust_v of_o his_o justification_n in_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n &_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o receive_v this_o most_o holy_a

&_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o withstand_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o temptation_n &_o that_o the_o accusation_n of_o his_o own_o doubtful_a conscience_n come_v to_o press_v he_o so_o

do_v not_o hurt_v but_o rather_o great_o profit_v the_o true_a christian_n and_o i_o think_v not_o that_o it_o can_v hurt_v the_o false_a christian_n and_o reprobate_n for_o albeit_o that_o such_o

predestinate_a i_o shall_v be_v save_v without_o any_o labour_n of_o i_o to_o do_v good_a work_n i_o answer_v thou_o at_o few_o word_n that_o by_o such_o devilish_a argument_n they_o increase_v god_n wrath_n against_o themselves_o who_o have_v discloze_v the_o knowledge_n of_o predestination_n to_o the_o christian_n to_o make_v they_o hot_a and_o not_o c●ld_a in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o to_o set_v they_o forward_o and_o not_o backward_o unto_o good_a work_n and_o therefore_o the_o true_a christian_a on_o the_o one_o side_n hold_v himself_o assure_o predestinate_v unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o to_o be_v save_v not_o at_o all_o by_o his_o own_o merit_n but_o by_o god_n election_n who_o have_v predestinate_v we_o not_o for_o our_o own_o work_n lake_n but_o to_o show_v the_o

depend_v upon_o his_o own_o policy_n and_o paynestake_n as_o for_o he_o that_o cease_v to_o do_v good_a because_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o predestination_n say_v if_o i_o be_v predestinate_v i_o be_v save_v without_o strain_v of_o myself_o to_o do_v good_a work_n he_o show_v evident_o that_o his_o travel_v be_v not_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o for_o the_o love_n of_o himself_o by_o reason_n whereof_o the_o work_n that_o he_o do_v may_v perhaps_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a to_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n but_o they_o be_v wicked_a and_o abominable_a before_o the_o lord_n god_n who_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o intent_n and_o hereupon_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o predestination_n work_v rather_o good_a than_o harm_n to_o the_o false_a christian_n for_o it_o discover_v their_o hypocrisy_n which_o can_v not_o cure_v itself_o so_o long_o as_o it_o lie_v hide_v under_o the_o mantle_n of_o outward_a work_n but_o i_o will_v have_v they_o that_o say_v i_o

divine_a sacrament_n when_o the_o christian_n be_v at_o it_o he_o must_v hold_v his_o eye_n fasten_v continual_o upon_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o gracious_a saviour_n behold_v he_o on_o the_o one_o side_n upon_o the_o cross_n load_v with_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o god_o on_o the_o otherside_n punish_v chastise_v and_o whip_v his_o own_o only_o beget_v and_o derbeloved_a son_n in_o stead_n of_o we_o oh_o happy_a be_v that_o man_n that_o shut_v his_o eye_n from_o all_o other_o sight_n and_o will_v neither_o here_o nor_o see_v any_o other_o thing_n than_o jesus_n christ_n crucify_v in_o who_o be_v lay_v up_o &_o bestow_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o god_n wisdom_n &_o divine_a knowledge_n bless_a say_v i_o be_v he_o that_o feed_v his_o mind_n with_o so_o heavenly_a a_o food_n &_o make_v himself_o drunken_a in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n with_o so_o sweet_a and_o singular_a a_o liquor_n but_o before_o i_o make_v a_o end_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o will_v first_o advertise_v the_o christian_n that_o saint_n austin_n have_v ordinary_o be_v wont_v to_o term_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n the_o bond_n of_o charity_n and_o the_o mystery_n of_o unity_n and_o he_o say_v that_o whosoever_o receive_v the_o mystery_n of_o unity_n and_o regard_v not_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n receive_v not_o the_o sacrament_n to_o his_o own_o behoof_n but_o as_o a_o witness_n against_o himself_o therefore_o we_o must_v understand_v ordain_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v ordain_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n not_o only_o to_o make_v we_o sure_o of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o also_o to_o inflame_v we_o to_o peace_n unity_n &_o brotherly_a charity_n for_o in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o lord_n do_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o body_n as_o he_o become_v all_o one_o thing_n with_o we_o and_o we_o with_o he_o by_o reason_n where_o of_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v but_o one_o body_n whereof_o he_o make_v we_o partaker_n wine_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o we_o also_o shall_v by_o such_o partake_v become_v all_o one_o body_n together_o among_o ourselves_o and_o this_o union_n be_v represent_v by_o the_o bread_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o as_o it_o be_v make_v of_o many_o grain_n mingle_v and_o knead_v together_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o one_o of_o they_o can_v be_v discern_v from_o another_o so_o also_o must_v we_o be_v join_v together_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n and_o so_o unite_v together_o into_o one_o agreement_n of_o mind_n as_o no_o division_n may_v creep_v in_o and_o this_o do_v saint_n paul_n show_v we_o when_o he_o say_v be_v not_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bliss_n the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n y_fw-fr we_o break_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whereas_o we_o be_v many_o yet_o be_v we_o but_o one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n forsomuch_o as_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o one_o bread_n himself_o by_o these_o thing_n we_o understand_v that_o when_o we_o receive_v this_o most_o holy_a communion_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o ingreff_v into_o christ_n and_o be_v all_o become_v member_n of_o one_o self-same_a body_n y_fw-fr be_v to_o wit_n of_o i●sus_n christ_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o can_v offend_v defame_n or_o d●spyse_v any_o of_o our_o brethren_n but_o we_o must_v therewithal_o offend_v defame_n and_o despise_v our_o say_a head_n jesus_n christ_n neither_o can_v we_o be_v at_o variance_n with_o any_o of_o our_o brethren_n but_o in_o likewise_o we_o must_v be_v at_o odds_n with_o he_o also_o we_o can_v love_v he_o except_o we_o love_v he_o in_o our_o brethren_n look_v how_o much_o care_n we_o have_v of_o our_o own_o body_n so_o much_o must_v we_o have_v of_o our_o christian_a brethren_n who_o be_v the_o member_n of_o our_o body_n and_o like_v as_o no_o part_n of_o our_o body_n feel_v any_o grief_n which_o spread_v not_o itself_o into_o all_o the_o other_o part_n so_o ought_v we_o to_o determine_v with_o ourselves_o that_o our_o brother_n feel_v not_o any_o inconvenience_n which_o shall_v not_o move_v we_o to_o compassion_n with_o such_o manner_n of_o thought_n must_v we_o prepare_v ourselves_o to_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n quicken_a up_o our_o spirit_n with_o a_o fervent_a love_n to_o our_o neighbour_n ward_n for_o what_o great_a spur_n can_v we_o have_v to_o prick_v we_o to_o love_v one_o another_o sacrament_n than_o to_o see_v y_fw-mi jesus_n christ_n by_o give_v himself_o
