one_o that_o be_v give_v for_o our_o saviour_n give_v the_o bread_n etc._n etc._n reason_n 2_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n there_o will_v then_o be_v no_o more_o sign_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v and_o so_o no_o 11._o rom._n 4._o 11._o sacrament_n reason_n 3_o then_o the_o wicked_a receiver_n may_v eat_v and_o drink_v christ_n body_n and_o blood_n as_o well_o as_o the_o true_a believer_n reason_n 4_o the_o minister_n can_v give_v the_o inward_a grace_n but_o the_o outward_a element_n only_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v another_o gross_a error_n also_o of_o consubstantiation_n consubstantiation_n be_v a_o coexistency_n of_o two_o substance_n in_o the_o same_o place_n or_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o body_n and_o

but_o under_o in_o or_o with_o the_o bread_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o common_a tenant_n and_o opinion_n of_o those_o who_o this_o day_n be_v call_v lutheran_n against_o this_o these_o few_o reason_n may_v suffice_v 1._o the_o whole_a action_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v do_v in_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n what_o need_n have_v we_o of_o that_o if_o christ_n body_n be_v real_o present_a either_o under_o with_o or_o in_o the_o element_n 2._o christ_n body_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o the_o heaven_n must_v receive_v he_o until_o the_o time_n of_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n act_n 3._o 21._o 3._o this_o be_v a_o essential_a property_n of_o every_o magnitude_n and_o therefore_o of_o christ_n body_n also_o to_o be_v in_o one_o place_n and_o circumscribe_v or_o encompass_v of_o one_o place_n 4._o if_o christ_n body_n be_v eat_v corporal_o than_o the_o wicked_a as_o well_o as_o the_o godly_a partake_v of_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n but_o to_o eat_v his_o flesh_n be_v to_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o to_o have_v eternal_a life_n 5._o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o christ_n sit_v with_o his_o disciple_n do_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n take_v his_o own_o body_n and_o give_v it_o whole_o to_o every_o one_o of_o his_o disciple_n this_o be_v the_o sacrament_n not_o of_o the_o live_n or_o of_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o of_o his_o suffering_n and_o crucify_a body_n so_o christ_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n deliver_v unto_o death_n for_o we_o and_o that_o these_o two_o way_n 1._o it_o be_v a_o visible_a sign_n bring_v to_o our_o remembrance_n or_o represent_v to_o we_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o as_o with_o our_o bodily_a eye_n we_o see_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o soul_n we_o may_v see_v christ_n body_n crucify_v for_o we_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o seal_n seal_v to_o our_o faith_n that_o christ_n body_n be_v certain_o deliver_v to_o death_n for_o we_o and_o be_v become_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n unto_o we_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o seek_v christ_n body_n in_o the_o earthly_a element_n but_o by_o faith_n lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o heaven_n whither_o christ_n ascend_v and_o where_o he_o be_v so_o in_o our_o liturgy_n at_o the_o celebration_n of_o this_o supper_n we_o be_v admonish_v to_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o outward_a action_n both_o of_o the_o minister_n and_o also_o of_o the_o receiver_n 1._o the_o action_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v these_o four_o 1._o to_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n into_o his_o hand_n and_o to_o separate_v it_o from_o ordinary_a bread_n and_o wine_n which_o
