of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o the_o holy_a baptism_n and_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v

and_o conclude_v in_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o the_o believe_a father_n heretofore_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o ought_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n seclude_v or_o

we_o by_o his_o say_a death_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o not_o only_o receive_v the_o outward_a seal_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o elemental_a water_n upon_o their_o

ghost_n itself_o so_o also_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o elemental_a water_n and_o although_o the_o elemental_a water_n according_a to_o his_o property_n and_o nature_n can_v do_v no_o more_o then_o outward_o cleanse_v the_o body_n and_o reach_v not_o so_o far_o as_o unto_o the_o soul_n yet_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cleanse_v the_o soul_n inward_o to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o as_o the_o minister_n do_v the_o one_o so_o do_v christ_n the_o other_o as_o saint_n john_n the_o baptist_n witness_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o saint_n matthewes_n gospel_n i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n to_o repentance_n or_o amendment_n of_o life_n but_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v strong_a than_o i_o be_o who_o shoe_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o carry_v he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n and_o like_v unto_o this_o be_v the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n that_o after_o the_o same_o sort_n the_o israelite_n be_v baptize_v with_o the_o cloud_n and_o sea_n as_o also_o they_o be_v feed_v with_o manna_n and_o drink_v the_o water_n which_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o rock_n etc_n etc_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o holy_a &_o most_o worthy_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o believe_v and_o confess_v willing_o with_o all_o other_o christian_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n first_o institute_v the_o say_v supper_n which_o he_o himself_o keep_v with_o his_o disciple_n and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v of_o christian_n but_o rather_o to_o be_v hold_v in_o great_a estimation_n &_o reverence_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o this_o cause_n ordain_v this_o participation_n and_o fruition_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n 11._o that_o thereby_o we_o shall_v remember_v he_o and_o declare_v his_o death_n until_o his_o come_n and_o after_o we_o have_v be_v

for_o we_o and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o if_o we_o shall_v apprehend_v and_o take_v unto_o we_o with_o true_a faith_n it_o will_v be_v a_o true_a &_o spiritual_a food_n and_o drink_n to_o eternal_a life_n as_o the_o visible_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v food_n for_o the_o nourish_a of_o the_o corporal_a body_n see_v we_o be_v in_o christ_n member_n of_o he_o the_o head_n branch_n of_o he_o the_o vine_n tree_n incorporate_v into_o he_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o so_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o through_o he_o shall_v obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n justification_n and_o life_n everlasting_a we_o believe_v also_o that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n have_v no_o other_o supper_n or_o communion_n then_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n ordain_v and_o hold_v it_o with_o his_o disciple_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v any_o other_o &_o much_o less_o use_v any_o other_o unless_o we_o will_v contemptuous_o offend_v against_o the_o commandment_n and_o institution_n of_o christ_n now_o it_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o must_v be_v confess_v of_o all_o that_o obstinate_o &_o malicious_o seek_v not_o to_o contend_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o deliver_v unto_o his_o disciple_n his_o natural_a &_o then_o present_a body_n as_o it_o be_v sit_v at_o the_o table_n &_o not_o yet_o crucify_v to_o be_v eat_v with_o their_o corporal_a mouth_n &_o much_o less_o give_v or_o command_v his_o blood_n to_o be_v drunken_a which_o be_v yet_o in_o his_o body_n and_o not_o shed_v as_o at_o these_o day_n some_o have_v cause_v a_o great_a division_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n teach_v that_o man_n must_v believe_v that_o they_o must_v eat_v and_o drink_v in_o the_o communion_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n with_o their_o corporal_a mouth_n as_o it_o be_v then_o natural_a and_o present_a at_o his_o last_o supper_n and_o whosoever_o will_v not_o believe_v and_o confess_v this_o which_o without_o great_a prejudice_n of_o their_o conscience_n they_o can_v not_o believe_v they_o be_v call_v despiser_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o great_a blasphemer_n of_o god_n but_o rather_o he_o command_v we_o to_o eat_v his_o body_n which_o be_v the_o day_n follow_v nail_v to_o the_o cross_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n which_o shall_v be_v short_o shed_v even_o as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o christ_n himself_o sufficient_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v and_o we_o doubt_n not_o but_o that_o his_o disciple_n before_o at_o capernaum_n be_v sufficient_o instruct_v &_o persuade_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o eat_n of_o his_o body_n and_o drink_n of_o his_o blood_n so_o that_o they_o have_v not_o any_o occasion_n or_o cause_n to_o make_v the_o least_o doubt_n therein_o as_o also_o peter_n himself_o notable_o confess_v 6._o say_v lord_n whither_o shall_v we_o go_v thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o we_o have_v believe_v and_o confess_v that_o thou_o

be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n out_o of_o which_o confession_n of_o peter_n which_o he_o make_v not_o alone_o for_o himself_o but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v understand_v and_o receive_v such_o sufficient_a instruction_n out_o of_o this_o sermon_n at_o capernaum_n that_o neither_o he_o nor_o the_o other_o eleven_o have_v any_o cause_n to_o ask_v what_o the_o lord_n jesus_n mean_v by_o such_o his_o say_a institution_n and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n where_o it_o shall_v be_v keep_v according_o to_o his_o own_o institution_n to_o the_o faithful_a for_o who_o this_o supper_n or_o communion_n be_v only_o ordain_v even_o as_o for_o his_o disciple_n at_o the_o first_o the_o true_a offer_v and_o crucify_a body_n of_o christ_n with_o all_o his_o heavenly_a treasure_n and_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v by_o his_o

forgiveness_n of_o sin_n for_o our_o drink_n and_o so_o little_a do_v the_o distance_n or_o espace_fw-fr of_o the_o time_n hinder_v his_o disciple_n at_o that_o present_a namely_o that_o although_o his_o body_n be_v not_o yet_o offer_v and_o crucify_v nor_o his_o blood_n yet_o shed_v yet_o his_o say_a disciple_n do_v eat_v his_o very_a natural_a and_o humane_a body_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o immaculate_a virgin_n marie_n &_o shall_v be_v short_o after_o deliver_v up_o for_o they_o &_o do_v drink_v his_o true_a blood_n which_o short_o shall_v be_v shed_v for_o they_o as_o though_o it_o have_v be_v deliver_v up_o and_o shed_v already_o so_o also_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o place_n hinder_v not_o we_o and_o other_o faithful_a believer_n that_o be_v that_o we_o also_o with_o the_o holy_a apostle_n according_a to_o the_o lord_n institution_n do_v eat_v the_o same_o body_n of_o christ_n &_o drink_v his_o blood_n although_o the_o lord_n jesus_n with_o that_o his_o natural_a body_n be_v now_o no_o more_o upon_o earth_n but_o sit_v in_o heaven_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n his_o heavenly_a father_n from_o whence_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a as_o the_o article_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n teach_v &_o declare_v unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o this_o question_n whether_o with_o his_o self_n same_o natural_a body_n sensible_a upon_o earth_n as_o he_o be_v at_o the_o last_o supper_n with_o his_o disciple_n he_o can_v be_v present_a with_o we_o in_o our_o communion_n but_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o we_o understand_v out_o of_o his_o word_n that_o he_o with_o his_o say_a body_n will_v be_v neither_o visible_a nor_o invisible_a neither_o comprehensible_a nor_o incomprehensible_a upon_o earth_n and_o nevertheless_o he_o be_v as_o the_o almighty_a son_n of_o god_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n with_o his_o grace_n and_o holy_a spirit_n with_o he_o and_o chief_o in_o his_o holy_a supper_n where_o he_o be_v both_o our_o host_n and_o food_n and_o as_o the_o minister_n do_v distribute_v the_o precious_a sacrament_n seal_n and_o token_n that_o be_v the_o bless_a bread_n and_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o do_v the_o lord_n therewith_o impart_v unto_o the_o faithful_a himself_o for_o bread_n and_o drink_n not_o of_o the_o worldly_a body_n as_o the_o sign_n of_o wine_n and_o bread_n be_v otherwise_o true_a meat_n and_o drink_v unto_o man_n but_o rather_o a_o meat_n and_o drink_n unto_o everlasting_a life_n for_o their_o hungry_a and_o thirsty_a soul_n beat_v down_o and_o dismay_v by_o the_o knowledge_n and_o consideration_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god._n now_o therefore_o if_o this_o question_n be_v make_v how_o christ_n the_o lord_n see_v he_o be_v with_o his_o body_n above_o in_o heaven_n and_o we_o here_o upon_o earth_n can_v feed_v we_o with_o his_o say_a body_n we_o answer_v with_o s._n ambrose_n that_o albeit_o we_o
