a_o express_a proof_n of_o this_o be_v my_o body_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o his_o natural_a body_n as_o sense_n and_o reason_n tell_v we_o it_o can_v be_v than_o it_o must_v be_v only_o his_o

all_o this_o while_n see_v he_o and_o converse_v with_o he_o as_o they_o do_v at_o other_o time_n the_o bread_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v his_o break_a body_n which_o it_o can_v

it_o be_v his_o sacramental_a can_v not_o be_v his_o natural_a body_n his_o blood_n be_v not_o then_o shed_v and_o therefore_o though_o the_o wine_n be_v his_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n

be_v the_o consecrate_a element_n to_o be_v real_o present_a upon_o the_o altar_n and_o very_o and_o indeed_o eat_v of_o the_o faithful_a for_o so_o our_o saviour_n express_o tell_v we_o this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n and_o this_o be_v somewhat_o more_o than_o to_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n presence_n in_o or_o with_o the_o eucharist_n be_v mere_o gracious_a and_o

whatever_o difference_n they_o will_v allow_v between_o christ_n gracious_a and_o influential_a presence_n in_o the_o eucharist_n and_o eat_v his_o natural_a flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v that_o be_v

and_o indeed_o this_o sacrament_n be_v not_o complete_a without_o it_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v it_o as_o a_o spiritual_a feast_n wine_n as_o well_o as_o bread_n to_o drink_v as_o well_o as_o to_o eat_v be_v essential_a to_o a_o feast_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o end_n of_o the_o institution_n to_o be_v a_o commemoration_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o expiation_n of_o his_o blood_n how_o can_v we_o commemorate_v sacramental_o the_o expiation_n of_o his_o blood_n without_o drink_v his_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o to_o eat_v his_o

which_o contradict_v the_o very_a institution_n of_o this_o supper_n and_o if_o we_o partake_v of_o no_o benefit_n in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o what_o we_o sacramental_o commemorate_v i_o will_v

a_o very_a material_a thing_n for_o those_o to_o consider_v who_o will_v be_v sure_a of_o their_o salvation_n viii_o chastity_n deliberate_o vow_v may_v be_v inoffensive_o violate_v a._n this_o be_v no_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n nor_o be_v protestant_n now_o concern_v in_o it_o though_o some_o of_o the_o monk_n and_o nun_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reformation_n be_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n know_v as_o vow_v chastity_n as_o that_o signify_v a_o vow_n against_o marriage_n neither_o under_o the_o law_n nor_o in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v expect_v in_o scripture_n a_o express_a decision_n of_o this_o matter_n but_o must_v argue_v from_o the_o nature_n and_o obligation_n of_o vow_n

the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o prayer_n to_o god_n only_o desire_v some_o blessing_n of_o god_n as_o he_o do_v of_o his_o friend_n on_o earth_n the_o sum_n of_o what_o we_o teach_v about_o this_o matter_n be_v this_o that_o we_o must_v worship_v none_o but_o god_n and_o therefore_o must_v not_o pray_v to_o saint_n and_o angel_n as_o our_o saviour_n teach_v thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o make_v more_o mediator_n to_o ourselves_o nor_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o the_o intercession_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n thus_o far_o we_o have_v plain_a scripture_n proof_n and_o then_o we_o think_v common_a sense_n teach_v we_o the_o rest_n that_o it_o be_v a_o injury_n to_o a_o only_a mediator_n to_o set_v up_o other_o mediator_n with_o he_o that_o good_a man_n on_o earth_n be_v not_o mediator_n but_o supplicant_n which_o be_v no_o encroachment_n of_o christ_n mediatorship_n and_o that_o saint_n in_o heaven_n according_a to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n pray_v as_o mediator_n and_o intercestor_n who_o appear_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o we_o and_o this_o be_v not_o reconcilable_a with_o christ_n only_a mediatorship_n in_o heaven_n xii_o honour_v the_o cross_n

indeed_o will_v excuse_v that_o worship_n which_o they_o pay_v to_o the_o cross_n to_o relic_n and_o image_n by_o say_v that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o that_o reverence_n which_o we_o allow_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o religious_a utensil_n which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o external_a respect_n but_o do_v those_o who_o charge_v they_o with_o idolatry_n in_o worship_v the_o cross_n and_o

of_o their_o council_n and_o the_o visible_a practice_n of_o their_o church_n prove_v and_o if_o he_o will_v have_v this_o prove_v to_o be_v idolatry_n he_o may_v meet_v with_o some_o protestant_n
