i_o answer_v solution_n if_o there_o be_v nothing_o against_o personal_a unworthiness_n in_o person_n profess_v the_o true_a religion_n in_o the_o context_n in_o order_n to_o the_o sacrament_n than_o unworthiness_n of_o person_n in_o such_o can_v be_v no_o bar_n against_o they_o but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a therefore_o the_o latter_a be_v true_a also_o 2._o if_o the_o apostle_n upon_o so_o

have_v be_v cut_v off_o by_o death_n for_o moral_a uncleanness_n or_o that_o some_o have_v otherwise_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o congregation_n and_o so_o from_o all_o ordinance_n of_o divine_a

so_o that_o one_o will_v think_v they_o grant_v this_o and_o in_o another_o place_n that_o our_o parochial_a congregation_n be_v true_a church_n in_o a_o large_a sense_n that_o the_o whole_a

of_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n in_o congregation_n not_o presbytere_v thus_o we_o have_v consider_v the_o admission_n to_o the_o passeover_n among_o the_o jew_n now_o see_v there_o be_v such_o analogy_n between_o the_o passeover_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o admission_n to_o the_o one_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o good_a rule_n for_o admission_n to_o the_o other_o and_o seem_v to_o be_v grant_v on_o both_o side_n in_o that_o it_o be_v urge_v by_o both_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v assert_v some_o thing_n from_o the_o law_n of_o the_o passeover_n for_o further_a confirmation_n and_o strengthen_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o free_a admission_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n 1._o the_o passeover_n be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n with_o the_o holy_a supper_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n 2._o it_o be_v a_o service_n command_v the_o whole_a church_n that_o whosoever_o shall_v neglect_v it_o in_o his_o season_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o people_n 3._o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v a_o mix_a people_n and_o many_o of_o they_o as_o uncapable_a of_o make_v a_o spiritual_a use_n of_o the_o passeover_n as_o we_o of_o the_o supper_n 4._o the_o church_n under_o the_o gospel_n administration_n be_v under_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o be_v but_o add_v to_o or_o graff_v into_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o constitution_n

and_o the_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v not_o admission_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v as_o free_a as_o the_o passeover_n first_o i_o say_v the_o jew_n passeover_n be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n with_o our_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n both_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n 1._o the_o paschal_n lamb_n appoint_v for_o that_o holy_a service_n be_v a_o lively_a type_n of_o the_o lamb_n of_o god_n slay_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n thereof_o 2._o the_o offering_n of_o this_o lamb_n whole_a without_o dismember_n or_o break_v a_o bone_n of_o he_o do_v show_v that_o whole_a christ_n must_v suffer_v that_o his_o suffering_n may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n 3._o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v

yearly_o at_o the_o time_n appoint_v through_o their_o generation_n for_o ever_o for_o a_o memorial_n of_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n which_o though_o it_o be_v but_o bodily_a and_o
