the_o lord_n supper_n which_o will_v appear_v so_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o the_o evangelist_n say_v hereof_o thus_o in_o the_o 22d_o luke_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o not_o only_o declare_v that_o

that_o it_o be_v his_o hand_n that_o be_v with_o he_o on_o the_o table_n and_o if_o so_o that_o then_o he_o be_v with_o christ_n so_o likewise_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o 26_o of_o st._n matthew_n gospel_n we_o find_v that_o when_o even_o be_v come_v he_o sit_v down_o with_o the_o twelve_o and_o as_o they_o do_v eat_v he_o say_v very_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v betray_v i_o v._o 20_o 21._o and_o when_o judas_n ask_v whether_o it_o be_v he_o that_o shall_v do_v so_o he_o not_o only_o give_v a_o sign_n who_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o answer_v judas_n it_o be_v he_o thou_o say_v it_o v._o 23.25_o and_o in_o the_o 26_o verse_n follow_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o as_o they_o be_v eat_v jesus_n take_v bread_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o 27_o

show_v from_o the_o account_n give_v thereof_o by_o st._n mark_n ch._n 14._o from_o v._o 17._o to_o v._o 25._o that_o where_o christ_n speak_v of_o the_o passeover_n or_o lord_n supper_n to_o his_o

it_o i_o be_v it_o i_o yet_o i_o answer_v that_o suppose_v it_o be_v unknown_a to_o the_o disciple_n till_o christ_n tell_v they_o yet_o they_o must_v allow_v that_o christ_n know_v very_o well_o

that_o he_o who_o dip_v his_o hand_n with_o he_o in_o the_o dish_n the_o same_o shall_v betray_v he_o now_o the_o dip_v of_o the_o hand_n in_o the_o dish_n be_v at_o the_o eat_v of_o the_o passeover_n
