these_o three_o or_o do_v it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o any_o one_o of_o the_o three_o person_n only_o you_o lose_v the_o essential_a form_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n if_o you_o leave_v out_o the_o least_o ceremony_n you_o lose_v the_o essential_a form_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n i_o speak_v of_o the_o essential_a form_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o keep_v the_o essential_a form_n in_o baptism_n though_o they_o have_v bring_v in_o trifle_n of_o their_o own_o and_o mix_v with_o it_o yet_o in_o respect_n they_o keep_v the_o substantial_a form_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o they_o who_o be_v baptize_v under_o they_o be_v rebaptise_v indeed_o if_o the_o virtue_n of_o regeneration_n flow_v from_o the_o person_n it_o be_v something_o but_o in_o respect_n christ_n have_v this_o to_o give_v to_o who_o &_o when_o he_o please_v the_o essential_a form_n be_v keep_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v reiterated_a now_o what_o be_v the_o fault_n in_o the_o person_n that_o pervert_v the_o sacrament_n the_o fault_n may_v be_v either_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o giver_n or_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o receiver_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o those_o common_a fault_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o but_o of_o such_o fault_n as_o disable_v the_o person_n of_o the_o giver_n to_o be_v a_o distributer_n of_o the_o sacrament_n &_o take_v the_o office_n from_o he_o so_o when_o the_o person_n of_o the_o giver_n be_v this_o way_n disable_v no_o question_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n then_o again_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o receiver_n the_o fault_n may_v be_v if_o their_o child_n be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n but_o out_o of_o it_o they_o get_v not_o the_o sacrament_n indeed_o if_o the_o parent_n afterward_o come_v to_o the_o covenant_n the_o child_n though_o they_o be_v get_v out_o of_o the_o covenant_n may_v be_v receive_v even_o so_o in_o the_o l._n supper_n if_o a_o man_n be_v lade_v with_o any_o burden_n of_o sin_n without_o any_o purpose_n to_o repent_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o receive_v it_o so_o then_o if_o you_o come_v without_o a_o purpose_n to_o repent_v you_o lose_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v only_o this_o purpose_n to_o repent_v that_o make_v i_o who_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n to_o get_v the_o fruit_n &_o effect_v thereof_o therefore_o every_o one_o who_o go_v to_o that_o sacrament_n must_v look_v what_o purpose_n he_o have_v in_o his_o hart_n have_v thou_o a_o purpose_n to_o murder_v to_o continue_v in_o adultery_n or_o to_o commit_v any_o other_o vile_a sin_n that_o be_v in_o thy_o hart_n and_o be_v not_o resolve_v to_o repent_v in_o show_v thou_o to_o be_v without_o repentance_n thou_o show_v thyself_o to_o be_v without_o faith_n and_o consequent_o thou_o come_v unto_o thy_o condemnation_n &_o not_o to_o thy_o salvation_n take_v heed_n then_o what_o your_o purpose_n be_v for_o if_o with_o a_o dissolute_a life_n you_o have_v a_o dissolute_a purpose_n you_o come_v unto_o your_o everlasting_a perdition_n i_o have_v think_v to_o have_v enter_v particular_o into_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o sacrament_n exhortation_n conclusion_n with_o a_o exhortation_n but_o because_o the_o time_n be_v pass_v and_o some_o of_o you_o i_o doubt_v not_o be_v to_o communicate_v only_o this_o remember_v that_o you_o address_v not_o

of_o christ_n humble_o to_o kiss_v his_o foot_n and_o to_o get_v hold_n of_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n though_o you_o dare_v not_o presume_v so_o high_a as_o to_o get_v he_o whole_a you_o be_v in_o

and_o therefore_o though_o that_o soul_n be_v far_o from_o the_o thing_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v at_o let_v he_o not_o refuse_v to_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n but_o let_v he_o go_v with_o a_o

in_o the_o bible_n and_o by_o the_o ancient_n we_o find_v this_o sacrament_n call_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n this_o name_n be_v give_v unto_o it_o no_o doubt_n because_o it_o be_v a_o

blood_n chief_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o why_o because_o that_o by_o his_o blood_n he_o wash_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o our_o soul_n because_o that_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o blood_n he_o quicken_v we_o in_o our_o soul_n with_o a_o heavenly_a life_n because_o that_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o blood_n he_o ingraft_v and_o incorporate_v we_o in_o his_o own_o body_n for_o that_o sacrament_n be_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o be_v of_o the_o cleanness_n of_o our_o conscience_n that_o our_o conscience_n by_o

same_o christ_n be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o another_o respect_n to_o wit_n in_o this_o respect_n that_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n serve_v to_o nourish_v my_o soul_n to_o life_n everlasting_a for_o this_o sacrament_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o image_n of_o our_o spiritual_a nourishment_n god_n testify_v how_o our_o fowl_n be_v feed_v &_o nourish_v to_o that_o heavenly_a life_n by_o the_o image_n of_o a_o corporal_a nourishment_n so_o in_o diverse_a respect_n the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v chr._n jesus_n be_v signify_v in_o baptism_n and_o be_v signify_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o fruit_n of_o christ_n death_n whereof_o i_o speak_v the_o virtue_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n the_o virtue_n of_o his_o passion_n i_o call_v not_o these_o fruit_n &_o virtue_n only_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o l_o supper_n but_o rather_o i_o call_v the_o thing_n signify_v that_o substance_n &_o that_o person_n out_o of_o the_o which_o substance_n this_o virtue_n &_o these_o fruit_n do_v flow_v and_o proceed_v i_o grant_v and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o by_o the_o lawful_a use_n &_o participation_n of_o the_o

force_n thou_o must_v get_v another_o thing_n first_o it_o be_v true_a that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o same_o soul_n must_v be_v also_o partaker_n of_o the_o fruit_n that_o flow_v from_o his_o substance_n yet_o notwithstanding_o thou_o must_v discern_v betwixt_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o fruit_n that_o flow_v from_o the_o substance_n and_o thou_o must_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o substance_n in_o the_o first_o room_n then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n thou_o must_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o fruit_n that_o flow_v from_o his_o substance_n to_o make_v this_o clear_a in_o baptism_n the_o fruit_n of_o baptism_n be_v remission_n of_o our_o sin_n mortification_n the_o kill_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o seal_n up_o of_o our_o adoption_n to_o life_n everlasting_a the_o substance_n out_o of_o the_o which_o these_o fruit_n do_v flow_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n you_o must_v here_o of_o force_n discern_v between_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o between_o remission_n of_o sin_n wash_v and_o regeneration_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n that_o flow_v from_o this_o blood_n so_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o fruit_n of_o that_o sacrament_n be_v the_o growth_n o●_n faith_n &_o the_o increase_n in_o holiness_n the_o thing_n signify_v be_v the_o substance_n that_o be_v the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o substance_n out_o of_o which_o this_o growth_n in_o faith_n and_o holiness_n do_v proceed_v now_o see_v you_o not_o this_o that_o you_o must_v discern_v between_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o fruit_n and_o must_v place_v the_o substance_n in_o the_o first_o place_n so_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v christ_n himself_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o this_o sacrament_n for_o your_o own_o experience_n will_v make_v this_o plain_a unto_o you_o before_o your_o stomach_n be_v fill_v with_o any_o food_n you_o must_v eat_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o food_n first_o before_o you_o be_v fill_v with_o bread_n you_o must_v eat_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n first_o before_o your_o drought_n be_v quench_v with_o any_o

thirst_n thereof_o quench_v you_o must_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n first_o and_o that_o by_o faith_n so_o consider_v the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o look_v to_o what_o use_n bread_n and_o wine_n serve_v to_o thy_o body_n to_o the_o same_o use_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n serve_v to_o thy_o soul_n and_o he_o that_o appoint_v the_o one_o to_o serve_v for_o thy_o body_n the_o same_o god_n appoint_v the_o other_o to_o serve_v for_o thy_o soul_n so_o look_v how_o impossible_a it_o be_v for_o thou_o to_o be_v feed_v with_o that_o food_n that_o never_o come_v into_o thy_o mouth_n or_o to_o recover_v health_n by_o those_o drug_n which_o never_o be_v apply_v it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o thou_o to_o be_v feed_v by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n &_o to_o get_v thy_o health_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n except_o thou_o first_o eat_v his_o body_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n then_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o the_o fruit_n so_o much_o as_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o christ_n jesus_n which_o be_v the_o fountain_n and_o substance_n from_o which_o these_o fruit_n do_v flow_v and_o proceed_v then_o i_o say_v suppose_v christ_n one_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o both_o the_o sacrament_n be_v one_o the_o sign_n be_v not_o one_o who_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v remain_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o both_o the_o sacrament_n yet_o the_o sign_n whereby_o this_o one_o christ_n be_v signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o one_o nor_o of_o a_o squall_n number_n for_o in_o baptism_n the_o thing_n that_o represent_v christ_n be_v water_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o thing_n that_o represent_v christ_n be_v bread_n and_o wine_n water_n be_v appoint_v to_o represent_v christ_n in_o baptism_n because_o it_o be_v meet_a to_o represent_v our_o wash_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o what_o be_v fit_a to_o wash_v with_o then_o water_n so_o there_o be_v nothing_o meet_a to_o wash_v the_o soul_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o sacrament_n he_o have_v appoint_v bread_n and_o wine_n why_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o meet_a to_o nourish_v the_o body_n than_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o choose_v these_o sign_n without_o a_o reason_n as_o the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o always_o one_o so_o the_o same_o in_o both_o be_v not_o of_o one_o number_n for_o in_o baptism_n we_o have_v but_o one_o element_n in_o this_o sacrament_n we_o have_v two_o element_n now_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o diversity_n that_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o one_o sacrament_n two_o why_o in_o baptism_n there_o be_v but_o one_o sign_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n two_o have_v appoint_v two_o sign_n and_o in_o the_o other_o but_o one_o sign_n i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o reason_n he_o have_v appoint_v only_o one_o sign_n in_o baptism_n to_o wit_n water_n because_o water_n be_v sufficient_a enough_o for_o the_o whole_a if_o water_n have_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o represent_v the_o thing_n signify_v he_o will_v have_v appoint_v another_o sign_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o water_n do●●_n the_o turn_n and_o represent_v full_o the_o wash_n of_o our_o soul_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n what_o need_v then_o have_v we_o of_o any_o other_o sign_n now_o in_o this_o sacrament_n one_o sign_n will_v not_o suffice_v but_o there_o must_v be_v two_o and_o why_o wine_n can_v be_v sufficient_a alone_o neither_o can_v bread_n be_v sufficient_a alone_o for_o he_o that_o have_v bread_n only_o and_o
you_o must_v be_v bear_v in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n his_o spirit_n must_v quicken_v you_o this_o be_v call_v the_o quicken_a and_o live_a spirit_n of_o christ_n by_o john_n and_o so_o soon_o as_o

and_o convene_n with_o a_o glorify_a body_n but_o the_o body_n that_o christ_n exhibit_v in_o the_o bread_n be_v say_v of_o the_o evangelist_n to_o be_v crucify_v and_o break_v for_o we_o ergo_fw-la that_o body_n be_v not_o glorify_v now_o last_o of_o all_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o content_a but_o say_v christ_n can_v make_v the_o bread_n his_o body_n and_o therefore_o his_o body_n be_v real_o

rather_o glorify_v god_n in_o confess_v these_o speech_n to_o be_v sacramenetal_n then_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n &_o ground_n wherefore_o the_o papist_n pull_v down_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o

because_o they_o can_v see_v by_o their_o natural_a judgement_n nor_o can_v understand_v by_o their_o natural_a wit_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o to_o wit_n how_o christ_n flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n except_o he_o be_v present_a to_o their_o corporal_a hand_n to_o their_o corporal_a mouth_n and_o stomach_n if_o they_o have_v the_o light_n to_o inform_v they_o that_o christ_n may_v be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o not_o to_o the_o hand_n to_o the_o mouth_n or_o stomach_n they_o will_v never_o think_v of_o such_o a_o monstrous_a presence_n as_o

may_v be_v well_o sanctify_v i_o come_v next_o to_o the_o cause_n wherefore_o every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v be_v careful_a in_o try_v and_o examine_v your_o own_o conscience_n the_o first_o cause_n be_v because_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n have_v his_o eye_n continual_o upon_o the_o conscience_n the_o eye_n of_o god_n be_v never_o from_o the_o conscience_n and_o heart_n of_o man_n as_o i_o prove_v to_o you_o by_o diverse_a place_n next_o because_o this_o god_n have_v choose_v his_o lodging_n and_o have_v set_v down_o his_o throne_n to_o make_v his_o residence_n in_o the_o conscience_n therefore_o that_o he_o may_v dwell_v in_o cleanness_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o his_o dwell_a place_n three_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n yea_o the_o only_a lord_n of_o this_o conscience_n who_o have_v power_n only_o to_o control_v who_o only_o have_v power_n to_o save_v or_o to_o cast_v away_o therefore_o that_o it_o may_v do_v good_a service_n to_o thy_o own_o lord_n thou_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n to_o thy_o conscience_n and_o last_o of_o all_o in_o respect_n that_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o soul_n stand_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o thy_o conscience_n and_o if_o thy_o soul_n be_v in_o good_a health_n thy_o body_n can_v be_v ill_o therefore_o in_o respect_n that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n depend_v upon_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o conscience_n every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v careful_o look_v to_o your_o conscience_n i_o will_v not_o amplify_v this_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o memory_n how_o the_o health_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v keep_v next_o i_o come_v in_o the_o three_o and_o last_o place_n to_o the_o point_n in_o the_o which_o every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v try_v and_o examine_v your_o conscience_n and_o as_o you_o may_v remember_v i_o set_v down_o two_o point_n wherein_o you_o ought_v to_o put_v your_o conscience_n in_o trial_n first_o to_o know_v whether_o your_o conscience_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n or_o not_o second_o whether_o your_o conscience_n be_v in_o love_n in_o charity_n and_o in_o amity_n with_o your_o neighbour_n or_o not_o in_o these_o two_o point_n chief_o you_o must_v try_v and_o examine_v yourselves_o to_o know_v whether_o you_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n or_o not_o you_o must_v first_o try_v whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o not_o as_o the_o apostle_n
to_o do_v thou_o must_v not_o be_v give_v to_o the_o service_n of_o thy_o affection_n and_o of_o thy_o appetite_n to_o put_v they_o in_o execution_n as_o thou_o have_v former_o do_v but_o in-case_n thy_o affection_n or_o lust_n command_v thou_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n what_o be_v thy_o part_n thou_o must_v try_v how_o far_o this_o may_v stand_v with_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n and_o how_o far_o that_o affection_n which_o command_v thou_o may_v agree_v with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v there_o such_o a_o harmony_n as_o that_o that_o thing_n which_o thy_o affection_n command_v thou_o may_v stand_v with_o god_n law_n and_o holy_a will_n then_o no_o question_n it_o be_v a_o sanctify_a affection_n thou_o may_v put_v it_o in_o execution_n but_o after_o this_o trial_n if_o thou_o find_v thy_o affection_n to_o be_v exorbitant_a &_o out_o of_o rule_n carry_v thou_o from_o god_n &_o against_o his_o law_n beware_v of_o it_o resist_v it_o put_v it_o not_o in_o execution_n for_o if_o thou_o fulfil_v the_o will_n of_o thy_o affection_n what_o pleasure_n can_v it_o bring_v with_o it_o it_o may_v well_o bring_v a_o flatter_a pleasure_n in_o the_o entry_n but_o it_o close_v ever_o with_o a_o bitter_a remorse_n in_o the_o end_n then_o to_o eschew_v this_o bitter_a remorse_n shall_v you_o not_o all_o try_v your_o affection_n you_o must_v examine_v and_o try_v they_o by_o the_o square_n of_o god_n la_o you_o must_v see_v how_o far_o they_o agree_v with_o his_o law_n and_o how_o fatre_n they_o dissent_v from_o it_o &_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v dissonant_n from_o that_o law_n let_v every_o man_n deny_v himself_o renounce_v his_o affection_n and_o so_o this_o trial_n be_v take_v in_o this_o manner_n by_o thyself_o it_o sanctifi_v thy_o affection_n make_v christ_n to_o lodge_v in_o thy_o soul_n make_v thy_o conscience_n to_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n this_o way_n make_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o be_v in_o good_a health_n and_o to_o rejoice_v then_o fly_v from_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o second_o lesson_n the_o three_o lesson_n be_v this_o study_v to_o do_v well_o will_v thou_o keep_v health_n in_o thy_o soul_n study_v to_o do_v better_a and_o better_a continual_o at_o the_o least_o have_v a_o purpose_n in_o thy_o soul_n &_o hart_n to_o do_v better_a daily_o which_o be_v the_o last_o lesson_n see_v that_o when_o we_o study_v to_o do_v best_a &_o that_o the_o just_a man_n that_o be_v the_o most_o holy_a man_n fall_v so_o often_o as_o 7._o time_n a_o day_n yea_o rather_o 70._o time_n seven_o time_n what_o be_v thy_o

a_o shame_n to_o sleep_v there_o therefore_o arise_v again_o and_o how_o shall_v thou_o rise_v by_o lift_v up_o thy_o soul_n and_o run_v to_o the_o fountain_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n by_o repair_v to_o christ_n jesus_n to_o obtain_v mercy_n for_o thy_o soul_n and_o to_o crave_v that_o he_o will_v send_v out_o of_o himself_o that_o measure_n of_o peace_n that_o may_v put_v thy_o conscience_n at_o rest_n &_o restore_v thy_o soul_n to_o health_n so_o lie_v not_o where_o thou_o fall_v but_o incontinent_a arise_v &_o crave_v mercy_n and_o in_o obtain_v mercy_n thou_o shall_v repair_v thy_o fall_n thou_o shall_v amend_v thy_o life_n by_o repentance_n &_o by_o repentance_n thou_o shall_v get_v peace_n thou_o shall_v have_v thy_o conscience_n at_o rest_n and_o get_v health_n to_o thy_o soul_n now_o keep_v this_o rule_n if_o thou_o desire_v to_o keep_v thy_o soul_n in_o health_n look_v that_o thou_o sleep_v not_o in_o sin_n as_o david_n do_v lie_v not_o still_o when_o thou_o be_v fall_v and_o so_o fall_v from_o one_o sin_n to_o another_o as_o from_o adultery_n to_o murder_v from_o murder_n to_o the_o next_o etc._n etc._n as_o common_o if_o a_o man_n sleep_n in_o sin_n and_o rise_v not_o in_o time_n one_o sin_n will_v draw_v on_o another_o for_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n alone_o but_o always_o the_o great_a and_o more_o heinous_a that_o the_o sin_n be_v it_o have_v the_o great_a and_o worse_a sin_n wait_v on_o it_o therefore_o when_o you_o fall_v delay_v not_o to_o arise_v but_o repair_v to_o the_o fountain_n of_o mercy_n and_o seek_v grace_n in_o time_n run_v to_o
