the_o word_n or_o their_o mouth_n to_o the_o sacrament_n it_o behove_v they_o to_o try_v and_o examine_v their_o own_o conscience_n not_o that_o the_o apostle_n will_v seclude_v the_o trial_n of_o other_o man_n for_o as_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o try_v myself_o so_o no_o doubt_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o my_o pastor_n to_o try_v i_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o other_o man_n that_o have_v a_o care_n over_o i_o to_o try_v and_o examine_v i_o but_o no_o man_n can_v do_v this_o so_o profitable_o to_o i_o as_o i_o myself_o and_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o tryer_n and_o

and_o no_o doubt_n the_o apostle_n mind_n be_v this_o to_o let_v we_o see_v clear_o that_o he_o that_o come_v to_o that_o table_n and_o have_v not_o that_o knowledge_n ●or_a be_v not_o of_o that_o

go_v forward_o &_o proceed_v in_o the_o work_n of_o this_o trial_n with_o the_o better_a speed_n and_o with_o the_o better_a fruit_n in_o this_o examination_n we_o lay_v down_o this_o order_n first_o of_o all_o i_o show_v what_o that_o be_v which_o we_o call_v a_o conscience_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v thereby_o next_o i_o declare_v for_o what_o cause_v you_o shall_v put_v your_o conscience_n to_o this_o trial_n and_o narrow_a examination_n and_o thirdlie_o so_o far_o as_o time_n suffer_v i_o enter_v into_o the_o point_n wherein_o every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v try_v and_o examine_v your_o own_o conscience_n as_o for_o conscience_n that_o you_o may_v call_v that_o definition_n to_o your_o memory_n i_o will_v resume_v it_o short_o we_o call_v a_o conscience_n a_o certain_a feel_n in_o the_o hart_n resemble_v the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n follow_v upon_o a_o deed_n do_v by_o we_o flow_v from_o a_o knowledge_n in_o the_o mind_n a_o feeling_n accompany_v with_o a_o motion_n in_o the_o hart_n a_o motion_n either_o of_o fear_n or_o joy_n tremble_a or_o rejoice_v i_o leave_v the_o open_n up_o of_o these_o part_n to_o your_o memory_n and_o i_o pray_v god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v well_o sanctify_v i_o come_v next_o to_o the_o cause_n wherefore_o every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v be_v careful_a in_o try_v and_o examine_v your_o own_o conscience_n the_o first_o cause_n be_v because_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n have_v his_o eye_n continual_o upon_o the_o conscience_n the_o eye_n of_o god_n be_v never_o from_o the_o conscience_n and_o heart_n of_o man_n as_o i_o prove_v to_o you_o by_o diverse_a place_n next_o because_o this_o god_n have_v choose_v his_o lodging_n and_o have_v set_v down_o his_o throne_n to_o make_v his_o residence_n in_o the_o conscience_n therefore_o that_o he_o may_v dwell_v in_o cleanness_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o his_o dwell_a place_n three_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n yea_o the_o only_a lord_n of_o this_o conscience_n who_o have_v power_n only_o to_o control_v who_o only_o have_v power_n to_o save_v or_o to_o cast_v away_o therefore_o that_o it_o may_v do_v good_a service_n to_o thy_o own_o lord_n thou_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n to_o thy_o conscience_n and_o last_o of_o all_o in_o respect_n that_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o soul_n stand_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o thy_o conscience_n and_o if_o thy_o soul_n be_v in_o good_a health_n thy_o body_n can_v be_v ill_o therefore_o in_o respect_n that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n depend_v upon_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o conscience_n every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v careful_o look_v to_o your_o conscience_n i_o will_v not_o amplify_v this_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o memory_n how_o the_o health_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v keep_v next_o i_o come_v in_o the_o three_o and_o last_o place_n to_o the_o point_n in_o the_o which_o every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v try_v and_o examine_v your_o conscience_n and_o as_o you_o may_v remember_v i_o set_v down_o two_o point_n wherein_o you_o ought_v to_o put_v your_o conscience_n in_o trial_n first_o to_o know_v whether_o your_o conscience_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n or_o not_o second_o whether_o your_o conscience_n be_v in_o love_n in_o charity_n and_o in_o amity_n with_o your_o neighbour_n or_o not_o in_o these_o two_o point_n chief_o you_o must_v try_v and_o examine_v yourselves_o to_o know_v whether_o you_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n or_o not_o you_o must_v first_o try_v whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o not_o as_o the_o apostle_n
blood_n chief_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o why_o because_o that_o by_o his_o blood_n he_o wash_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o our_o soul_n because_o that_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o blood_n he_o quicken_v we_o in_o our_o soul_n with_o a_o heavenly_a life_n because_o that_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o blood_n he_o ingraft_v and_o incorporate_v we_o in_o his_o own_o body_n for_o that_o sacrament_n be_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o be_v of_o the_o cleanness_n of_o our_o conscience_n that_o our_o conscience_n by_o that_o blood_n be_v wash_v inward_o it_o testify_v also_o our_o new_a birth_n that_o we_o be_v beget_v spiritual_o to_o a_o heavenly_a life_n it_o testify_v also_o the_o join_n of_o we_o in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v a_o testimony_n so_o it_o be_v a_o seal_n it_o not_o only_o testify_v but_o seal_v it_o up_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o make_v we_o in_o our_o heart_n to_o feel_v the_o taste_n of_o that_o heavenly_a life_n begin_v in_o we_o that_o we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n in_o the_o which_o we_o be_v conceive_v and_o ingraft_v in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n mark_v then_o christ_n in_o his_o blood_n as_o he_o be_v the_o wash_n of_o our_o regeneration_n be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o baptism_n in_o this_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n again_o this_o same_o christ_n be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o another_o respect_n to_o wit_n in_o this_o respect_n that_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n serve_v to_o nourish_v my_o soul_n to_o life_n everlasting_a for_o this_o sacrament_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o image_n of_o our_o spiritual_a nourishment_n god_n testify_v how_o our_o fowl_n be_v feed_v &_o nourish_v to_o that_o heavenly_a life_n by_o the_o image_n of_o a_o corporal_a nourishment_n so_o in_o diverse_a respect_n the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v chr._n jesus_n be_v signify_v in_o baptism_n and_o be_v signify_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o fruit_n of_o christ_n death_n whereof_o i_o speak_v the_o virtue_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n the_o virtue_n of_o his_o passion_n i_o call_v not_o these_o fruit_n &_o virtue_n only_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o l_o supper_n but_o rather_o i_o call_v the_o thing_n signify_v that_o substance_n &_o that_o person_n out_o of_o the_o which_o substance_n this_o virtue_n &_o these_o fruit_n do_v flow_v and_o proceed_v i_o grant_v and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o by_o the_o lawful_a use_n &_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n thou_o be_v partaker_n of_o all_o these_o fruit_n yet_o these_o fruit_n be_v not_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a thing_n whereof_o thou_o be_v partaker_n in_o this_o sacrament_n but_o of_o force_n thou_o must_v get_v another_o thing_n first_o it_o be_v true_a that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o same_o soul_n must_v be_v also_o partaker_n of_o the_o fruit_n that_o flow_v from_o his_o substance_n yet_o notwithstanding_o thou_o must_v discern_v betwixt_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o fruit_n that_o flow_v from_o the_o substance_n and_o thou_o must_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o substance_n in_o the_o first_o room_n then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n thou_o must_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o fruit_n that_o flow_v from_o his_o substance_n to_o make_v this_o clear_a in_o baptism_n the_o fruit_n of_o baptism_n be_v remission_n of_o our_o sin_n mortification_n the_o kill_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o seal_n up_o of_o our_o adoption_n to_o life_n everlasting_a the_o substance_n out_o of_o the_o which_o these_o fruit_n do_v flow_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n you_o must_v here_o of_o force_n discern_v between_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o between_o remission_n of_o sin_n wash_v and_o regeneration_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n that_o flow_v from_o this_o blood_n so_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o fruit_n of_o that_o sacrament_n be_v the_o growth_n o●_n faith_n &_o the_o increase_n in_o holiness_n the_o thing_n signify_v be_v the_o substance_n that_o be_v the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o substance_n out_o of_o which_o this_o growth_n in_o faith_n and_o holiness_n do_v proceed_v now_o see_v you_o not_o this_o that_o you_o must_v discern_v between_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o fruit_n and_o must_v place_v the_o substance_n in_o the_o first_o place_n so_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v christ_n himself_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o this_o sacrament_n for_o your_o own_o experience_n will_v make_v this_o plain_a unto_o you_o before_o your_o stomach_n be_v fill_v with_o any_o food_n you_o must_v eat_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o food_n first_o before_o you_o be_v fill_v with_o bread_n you_o must_v eat_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n first_o before_o your_o drought_n be_v quench_v with_o any_o drink_n you_o must_v of_o necessity_n drink_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o drink_n first_o even_o so_o after_o this_o manner_n before_o the_o hunger_n of_o your_o soul_n be_v satisfy_v &_o the_o thirst_n thereof_o quench_v you_o must_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n first_o and_o that_o by_o faith_n so_o consider_v the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o look_v to_o what_o use_n bread_n and_o wine_n serve_v to_o thy_o body_n to_o the_o same_o use_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n serve_v to_o thy_o soul_n and_o he_o that_o appoint_v the_o one_o to_o serve_v for_o thy_o body_n the_o same_o god_n appoint_v the_o other_o to_o serve_v for_o thy_o soul_n so_o look_v how_o impossible_a it_o be_v for_o thou_o to_o be_v feed_v with_o that_o food_n that_o never_o come_v into_o thy_o mouth_n or_o to_o recover_v health_n by_o those_o drug_n which_o never_o be_v apply_v it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o thou_o to_o be_v feed_v by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n &_o to_o get_v thy_o health_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n except_o thou_o first_o eat_v his_o body_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n then_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o the_o fruit_n so_o much_o as_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o christ_n jesus_n which_o be_v the_o fountain_n and_o substance_n from_o which_o these_o fruit_n do_v flow_v and_o proceed_v then_o i_o say_v suppose_v christ_n one_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o both_o the_o sacrament_n be_v one_o the_o sign_n be_v not_o one_o who_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v remain_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o both_o the_o sacrament_n yet_o the_o sign_n whereby_o this_o one_o christ_n be_v signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o one_o nor_o of_o a_o squall_n number_n for_o in_o baptism_n the_o thing_n that_o represent_v christ_n be_v water_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o thing_n that_o represent_v christ_n be_v bread_n and_o wine_n water_n be_v appoint_v to_o represent_v christ_n in_o baptism_n because_o it_o be_v meet_a to_o represent_v our_o wash_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o what_o be_v fit_a to_o wash_v with_o then_o water_n so_o there_o be_v nothing_o meet_a to_o wash_v the_o soul_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o sacrament_n he_o have_v appoint_v bread_n and_o wine_n why_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o meet_a to_o nourish_v the_o body_n than_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o choose_v these_o sign_n without_o a_o reason_n as_o the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o always_o one_o so_o the_o same_o in_o both_o be_v not_o of_o one_o number_n for_o in_o baptism_n we_o have_v but_o one_o element_n in_o this_o sacrament_n we_o have_v two_o element_n now_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o diversity_n that_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o one_o sacrament_n two_o why_o in_o baptism_n there_o be_v but_o one_o sign_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n two_o have_v appoint_v two_o sign_n and_o in_o the_o other_o but_o one_o sign_n i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o reason_n he_o have_v appoint_v only_o one_o sign_n in_o baptism_n to_o wit_n water_n because_o water_n be_v sufficient_a enough_o for_o the_o whole_a if_o water_n have_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o represent_v the_o thing_n signify_v he_o will_v have_v appoint_v another_o sign_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o water_n do●●_n the_o turn_n and_o represent_v full_o the_o wash_n of_o our_o soul_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n what_o need_v then_o have_v we_o of_o any_o other_o sign_n now_o in_o this_o sacrament_n one_o sign_n will_v not_o suffice_v but_o there_o must_v be_v two_o and_o why_o wine_n can_v be_v sufficient_a alone_o neither_o can_v bread_n be_v sufficient_a alone_o for_o he_o that_o have_v bread_n only_o and_o
whereby_o they_o be_v receive_v be_v visible_a and_o corporal_a the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v not_o receive_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n no_o the_o scripture_n

rather_o glorify_v god_n in_o confess_v these_o speech_n to_o be_v sacramenetal_n then_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n &_o ground_n wherefore_o the_o papist_n pull_v down_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o

body_n can_v be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n except_o it_o be_v real_o carnal_o and_o substantial_o present_a real_o and_o substantial_o in_o the_o sacrament_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o they_o can_v see_v by_o their_o natural_a judgement_n nor_o can_v understand_v by_o their_o natural_a wit_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o to_o wit_n how_o christ_n flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n except_o he_o be_v present_a to_o their_o corporal_a hand_n to_o their_o corporal_a mouth_n and_o stomach_n if_o they_o have_v the_o light_n to_o inform_v they_o that_o christ_n may_v be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o not_o to_o the_o hand_n to_o the_o mouth_n or_o stomach_n they_o will_v never_o think_v of_o such_o a_o monstrous_a presence_n as_o

sacrament_n nor_o the_o element_n only_o can_v be_v a_o sacrament_n but_o the_o word_n and_o element_n coniunct_o must_v make_v a_o sacrament_n and_o so_o augustine_n say_v well_o let_v the_o word_n

call_v a_o sacrament_n the_o word_n and_o seal_v coniunct_o the_o one_o hang_v to_o the_o other_o it_o be_v without_o all_o controversy_n and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n in_o it_o that_o all_o sacrament_n be_v sign_n now_o if_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o sign_n as_o the_o sign_n be_v in_o a_o relation_n in_o that_o category_n for_o so_o we_o must_v speak_v it_o so_o the_o sacrament_n must_v be_v place_v in_o that_o same_o category_n of_o relation_n now_o every_o relation_n again_o must_v stand_v of_o force_n betwixt_o two_o thing_n for_o one_o thing_n can_v be_v the_o correlative_a of_o

substance_n of_o the_o one_o start_v up_o and_o vanish_v in_o the_o other_o you_o lose_v the_o relation_n and_o so_o you_o lose_v the_o sacrament_n then_o as_o in_o every_o sacrament_n there_o be_v a_o relation_n so_o to_o keep_v the_o relation_n you_o must_v ever_o keep_v two_o thing_n several_o in_o the_o sacrament_n now_o sermon_n the_o head_n to_o be_v entreat_v in_o this_o sermon_n for_o

the_o diversity_n of_o the_o instrument_n and_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o giver_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v little_a difficulty_n in_o the_o sacrament_n now_o to_o begin_v at_o the_o sign_n see_v all_o sacrament_n be_v sign_n sacrament_n the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n what_o call_v we_o the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n i_o call_v the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n whatsoever_o i_o

rite_n and_o ceremony_n whereby_o these_o element_n be_v distribute_v break_v and_o give_v be_v subject_a to_o my_o eye_n also_o then_o i_o must_v make_v two_o sort_n of_o sign_n one_o sort_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n and_o we_o call_v they_o elemental_a another_o sort_n of_o the_o rite_n &_o ceremony_n whereby_o these_o be_v distribute_v break_v and_o give_v and_o we_o call_v they_o ceremonial_a be_v not_o deceive_v with_o the_o word_n ceremony_n think_v not_o that_o i_o call_v the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n the_o eat_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o the_o wine_n ceremony_n think_v not_o that_o they_o be_v vain_a as_o you_o use_v that_o word_n ceremony_n for_o a_o vain_a thing_n which_o have_v no_o grace_n nor_o profit_n follow_v after_o it_o no_o although_o i_o call_v they_o ceremony_n there_o be_v never_o a_o ceremony_n which_o christ_n institute_v in_o this_o supper_n but_o it_o be_v as_o essential_a as_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v and_o you_o

they_o sign_n sign_n why_o they_o be_v call_v sign_n be_v this_o i_o call_v they_o not_o sign_n by_o that_o reason_n that_o man_n common_o call_v they_o sign_n because_o they_o signify_v only_o as_o the_o bread_n signify_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n &_o the_o wine_n signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n i_o call_v they_o not_o sign_n because_o they_o represent_v only_o but_o i_o call_v they_o

of_o christ_n conjoin_v with_o that_o wine_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o thou_o receive_v that_o bread_n in_o thy_o mouth_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o faithful_a man_n or_o woman_n so_o soon_o receive_v thou_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o thy_o soul_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o thou_o receive_v that_o wine_n in_o thy_o mouth_n so_o soon_o thou_o receive_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o thy_o soul_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n in_o respect_n of_o this_o exhibition_n chief_o that_o they_o be_v instrument_n to_o deliver_v and_o exhibit_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o signify_v and_o not_o in_o respect_n only_o of_o their_o representation_n be_v they_o call_v sign_n for_o if_o they_o do_v nothing_o but_o represent_v or_o signify_v a_o thing_n absent_a then_o any_o picture_n or_o dead_a image_n shall_v be_v a_o sacrament_n for_o there_o be_v no_o picture_n as_o the_o picture_n of_o the_o king_n but_o at_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o picture_n the_o king_n
these_o three_o or_o do_v it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o any_o one_o of_o the_o three_o person_n only_o you_o lose_v the_o essential_a form_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n if_o you_o leave_v out_o the_o least_o ceremony_n you_o lose_v the_o essential_a form_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n i_o speak_v of_o the_o essential_a form_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o keep_v the_o essential_a form_n in_o baptism_n though_o they_o have_v bring_v in_o trifle_n of_o their_o own_o and_o mix_v with_o it_o yet_o in_o respect_n they_o keep_v the_o substantial_a form_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o they_o who_o be_v baptize_v under_o they_o be_v rebaptise_v indeed_o if_o the_o virtue_n of_o regeneration_n flow_v from_o the_o person_n it_o be_v something_o but_o in_o respect_n christ_n have_v this_o to_o give_v to_o who_o &_o when_o he_o please_v the_o essential_a form_n be_v keep_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v reiterated_a now_o what_o be_v the_o fault_n in_o the_o person_n that_o pervert_v the_o sacrament_n the_o fault_n may_v be_v either_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o giver_n or_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o receiver_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o those_o common_a fault_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o but_o of_o such_o fault_n as_o disable_v the_o person_n of_o the_o giver_n to_o be_v a_o distributer_n of_o the_o

with_o any_o burden_n of_o sin_n without_o any_o purpose_n to_o repent_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o receive_v it_o so_o then_o if_o you_o come_v without_o a_o purpose_n to_o repent_v you_o lose_v the_o

be_v only_o spoil_v of_o corruption_n shame_n infirmity_n naturalitie_n and_o mortality_n and_o it_o become_v only_o spoil_v of_o all_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o nature_n that_o it_o may_v be_v clothe_v with_o a_o more_o glorious_a apparel_n as_o with_o incorruption_n power_n glory_n spirituality_n and_o immortality_n we_o see_v then_o that_o this_o glorification_n import_v a_o change_n indeed_o but_o i_o believe_v no_o man_n will_v be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o think_v this_o change_n to_o be_v make_v in_o the_o substance_n for_o if_o that_o be_v so_o the_o old_a substance_n behove_v to_o decay_v and_o a_o new_a shall_v arise_v but_o we_o hear_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o this_o description_n and_o as_o little_a be_v the_o change_n make_v in_o the_o quantity_n for_o we_o find_v no_o

consist_v in_o the_o quality_n by_o the_o which_o the_o body_n cast_v off_o the_o old_a coat_n of_o infirmity_n and_o clothe_v itself_o with_o the_o coat_n of_o glory_n for_o christ_n after_o he_o do_v arise_v he_o both_o go_v and_o come_v be_v see_v and_o touch_v of_o the_o thing_n before_o deduce_v it_o clear_o follow_v that_o in_o respect_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n have_v wrought_v nothing_o in_o his_o nature_n and_o substance_n and_o consequent_o in_o his_o natural_a dimension_n neither_o yet_o in_o any_o other_o essential_a property_n that_o therefore_o the_o glorification_n of_o his_o body_n free_v it_o not_o from_o the_o rule_n of_o physic_n for_o so_o long_o as_o that_o nature_n of_o a_o true_a body_n remain_v there_o be_v no_o supernatural_a gift_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v glorify_v be_v they_o never_o so_o high_a so_o far_o as_o they_o may_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o may_v hurt_v either_o the_o nature_n or_o the_o natural_a property_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o gift_n nor_o quality_n that_o may_v hurt_v nature_n but_o that_o gift_n that_o be_v against_o nature_n but_o the_o supernatural_a gift_n be_v neither_o unnatural_a neither_o yet_o against_o nature_n therefore_o it_o can_v hurt_v nor_o impair_v nature_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o those_o gift_n that_o decore_v and_o beautify_v nature_n they_o can_v hurt_v nor_o impair_v nature_n but_o all_o supernatural_a gift_n beautify_v and_o decore_v nature_n therefore_o they_o can_v take_v away_o neither_o nature_n nor_o yet_o the_o natural_a property_n they_o leave_v we_o not_o so_o but_o out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o paul_n concern_v the_o glorification_n of_o the_o body_n they_o draw_v a_o objection_n to_o press_v we_o withal_o paul_n grant_v that_o a_o glorify_a body_n be_v a_o spiritual_a body_n but_o a_o spiritual_a body_n be_v a_o invisible_a body_n therefore_o a_o glorify_a body_n be_v invisible_a and_o by_o consequence_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v invisible_a though_o the_o argument_n be_v not_o formal_a yet_o to_o be_v short_a i_o deny_v their_o assumption_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o word_n body_n that_o word_n may_v be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o spiritual_a body_n be_v not_o invisible_a but_o yet_o to_o open_v the_o matter_n more_o clear_o according_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o saint_n paul_n in_o that_o place_n saint_n paul_n in_o a_o word_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 44._o vers_fw-la of_o that_o chap._n show_v the_o change_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o body_n by_o the_o resurrection_n for_o he_o say_v that_o our_o natural_a body_n shall_v become_v spiritual_a body_n and_o then_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n immediate_o follow_v he_o expound_v these_o two_o quality_n for_o in_o the_o 45._o verse_n that_o be_v call_v a_o natural_a body_n say_v he_o which_o be_v maintain_v and_o quicken_v by_o a_o live_a soul_n only_o such_o as_o adam_n be_v and_o again_o that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o spiritual_a body_n which_o together_o beside_o the_o soul_n be_v quicken_v with_o a_o far_o more_o excellent_a virtue_n to_o wit_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o descend_v from_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n unto_o we_o then_o according_a unto_o this_o ground_n i_o answer_v with_o augustine_n ad_fw-la constantium_fw-la as_o the_o natural_a body_n be_v not_o a_o soul_n but_o a_o body_n even_o so_o the_o spiritual_a body_n be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v a_o soul_n but_o a_o body_n and_o by_o consequent_a it_o be_v not_o invisible_a for_o the_o further_a explain_v of_o this_o head_n i_o will_v give_v they_o only_o one_o knot_n to_o loose_v and_o so_o end_v this_o point_n then_o i_o reason_n if_o therefore_o christ_n body_n be_v natural_o and_o real_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n because_o that_o it_o be_v glorify_v it_o follow_v consequent_o that_o when_o it_o be_v not_o glorify_v it_o can_v not_o be_v real_o

body_n be_v not_o real_o present_a in_o the_o bread_n at_o the_o first_o supper_n it_o can_v be_v natural_o present_a now_o for_o whatsoever_o they_o use_v now_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o their_o supper_n or_o of_o their_o mass_n call_v it_o as_o you_o will_v according_a to_o their_o own_o confession_n they_o use_v it_o according_a to_o the_o ordinance_n form_n and_o manner_n that_o

and_o so_o by_o their_o own_o word_n they_o have_v entangle_v themselves_o and_o crucify_v their_o mass_n what_o can_v they_o answer_v to_o this_o they_o will_v not_o stand_v dumb_a i_o be_o sure_a for_o maintenance_n of_o their_o religion_n they_o must_v say_v some_o thing_n thus_o they_o say_v that_o though_o the_o body_n of_o

any_o thing_n by_o any_o of_o thy_o sense_n that_o make_v a_o thing_n present_a &_o the_o not_o perceive_v that_o make_v a_o thing_n absent_a i_o say_v though_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v never_o so_o far_o distant_a if_o thou_o perceive_v it_o by_o thy_o outward_a sense_n it_o be_v present_a unto_o thou_o as_o for_o example_n my_o body_n and_o the_o sun_n be_v as_o far_o distant_a in_o

christ_n corporal_o but_o spiritual_o so_o in_o these_o respect_n i_o call_v this_o action_n partly_o corporal_a and_o partly_o spiritual_a now_o confound_v not_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o action_n the_o corporal_a and_o natural_a sign_n with_o the_o spiritual_a thing_n signify_v thereby_o again_o confound_v not_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n with_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n three_o confound_v not_o the_o outward_a manner_n of_o receve_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o body_n with_o the_o spiritual_a manner_n of_o receive_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v exceed_o clear_a to_o see_v that_o each_o thing_n shall_v be_v present_a to_o the_o own_o instrument_n that_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a thing_n signify_v shall_v be_v present_a to_o the_o spiritual_a mouth_n and_o hand_n and_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v the_o corporal_a sign_n be_v present_a to_o the_o corporal_a mouth_n and_o hand_n then_o how_o be_v any_o object_n present_a a_o corporal_a object_n be_v corporal_o present_a and_o a_o inward_a object_n be_v inward_o present_a of_o what_o nature_n be_v the_o thing_n signify_v it_o be_v of_o a_o heavenly_a nature_n then_o ask_v you_o how_o be_v he_o present_a he_o be_v spiritual_o and_o heavenly_a present_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v

shall_v prove_v it_o clear_o by_o three_o argument_n take_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o word_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o bread_n but_o to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o first_o i_o say_v the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n aught_o to_o be_v direct_v and_o pronounce_v to_o they_o in_o who_o the_o lord_n perform_v they_o &_o make_v they_o effectual_a but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n be_v perform_v and_o make_v effectual_a not_o in_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o in_o faithful_a man_n &_o woman_n therefore_o these_o promise_n shall_v be_v direct_v to_o faithful_a man_n &_o woman_n now_o here_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n &_o grace_n this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o and_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o no_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o the_o faithful_a and_o so_o to_o they_o only_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v direct_v second_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v that_o this_o sacrament_n seal_v up_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n now_o with_o who_o will_v god_n make_v his_o covenant_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n will_v he_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o a_o piece_n of_o

cause_v we_o shall_v examine_v our_o own_o soul_n and_o conscience_n i_o will_v declare_v the_o reason_n brief_o it_o behoove_v every_o one_o of_o you_o to_o try_v your_o conscience_n why_o because_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v his_o residence_n in_o no_o other_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o in_o the_o conscience_n he_o have_v appoint_v his_o dwelling_n to_o be_v in_o the_o hart_n of_o man_n and_o in_o the_o will_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o become_v you_o to_o make_v his_o dwell_a place_n clean_o &_o to_o take_v heeed_o unto_o your_o heart_n next_o though_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n make_v not_o his_o residence_n there_o yet_o in_o respect_n the_o eye_n of_o god_n be_v a_o all-seeing_a eye_n and_o able_a to_o pierce_v through_o the_o very_a thickness_n of_o man_n flesh_n how_o dark_a and_o gross_a soever_o it_o be_v and_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o very_a secret_a corner_n of_o thy_o conscience_n for_o unto_o the_o all-seeing_a eye_n of_o god_n the_o most_o secret_a corner_n of_o the_o conscience_n be_v as_o clear_v and_o manifest_a as_o any_o outward_a or_o bodily_a thing_n in_o the_o earth_n can_v be_v to_o the_o outward_a eye_n of_o the_o body_n in_o respect_n therefore_o that_o this_o eye_n be_v so_o pierce_a and_o that_o he_o cast_v his_o eye_n only_o upon_o our_o heart_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o try_v our_o heart_n three_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o conscience_n there_o be_v no_o monarch_n on_o earth_n that_o have_v any_o sovereignty_n or_o lordship_n over_o the_o conscience_n only_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n only_a christ_n jesus_n king_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o conscience_n he_o have_v power_n only_o to_o save_v and_o lose_v therefore_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n table_n thou_o ought_v careful_o to_o look_v unto_o thy_o conscience_n to_o try_v and_o examine_v the_o state_n of_o it_o last_o of_o all_o which_o be_v a_o chief_a reason_n it_o behoove_v thou_o to_o prove_v thy_o conscience_n because_o the_o welfare_n and_o health_n of_o thy_o soul_n depend_v upon_o thy_o conscience_n if_o thy_o conscience_n that_o be_v within_o thy_o soul_n be_v well_o if_o it_o be_v at_o peace_n and_o rest_n thy_o soul_n be_v well_o if_o thy_o conscience_n be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n thy_o soul_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n if_o thy_o conscience_n be_v in_o good_a health_n of_o necessity_n thy_o soul_n must_v be_v in_o good_a health_n for_o the_o good_a health_n &_o happiness_n of_o the_o soul_n depend_v upon_o a_o good_a conscience_n therefore_o it_o concern_v every_o one_o of_o you_o to_o try_v well_o your_o conscience_n there_o be_v never_o any_o la_o made_n or_o devise_v that_o forbid_v we_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o health_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o seek_v such_o thing_n as_o may_v procure_v and_o preserve_v it_o but_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o soul_n stand_v in_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o

and_o if_o thy_o soul_n be_v in_o health_n let_v trouble_n come_v what_o will_v upon_o thy_o body_n thou_o will_v endure_v they_o all_o but_o if_o thy_o soul_n be_v disease_v with_o a_o evil_a conscience_n thou_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v out_o the_o least_o trouble_n that_o shall_v come_v unto_o thy_o body_n whereas_o if_o the_o conscience_n be_v at_o rest_n and_o in_o good_a

be_v learn_v by_o which_o a_o man_n may_v preserve_v health_n in_o his_o soul_n &_o conscience_n because_o it_o be_v a_o fruitless_a thing_n to_o tell_v you_o that_o health_n be_v necessary_a and_o not_o to_o show_v the_o way_n how_o this_o health_n may_v be_v obtain_v and_o preserve_v therefore_o to_o keep_v your_o conscience_n in_o quiet_a &_o good_a health_n i_o will_v give_v you_o these_o few_o lesson_n first_o of_o all_o be_v sure_a that_o you_o retain_v steadfast_a a_o persuasion_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n examine_v when_o thou_o lie_v down_o and_o examine_v when_o thou_o rise_v up_o in_o what_o estate_n thou_o be_v with_o god_n whether_o thou_o may_v look_v for_o mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n or_o not_o be_v thou_o persuade_v of_o mercy_n assure_v thyself_o thy_o conscience_n be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n thou_o have_v health_n in_o thy_o soul_n for_o by_o the_o keep_n of_o faith_n the_o conscience_n be_v preserve_v as_o say_v the_o apostle_n 1._o tim._n 1.19_o keep_v this_o persuasion_n preserve_v it_o whole_a and_o sound_a hurt_v it_o not_o bring_v not_o thy_o soul_n into_o doubt_v stay_v not_o nor_o hinder_v thy_o persuasion_n if_o thou_o desire_v to_o keep_v health_n in_o thy_o soul_n for_o if_o thou_o doubt_v or_o any_o way_n diminish_v thy_o persuasion_n and_o assurance_n assure_o thy_o assurance_n can_v so_o soon_o be_v hinder_v nor_o diminish_v but_o at_o that_o very_a instant_n shall_v follow_v the_o diminish_n of_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o soul_n yea_o it_o can_v be_v but_o in_o that_o very_a article_n of_o time_n shall_v follow_v the_o hurt_n of_o thy_o conscience_n for_o faith_n will_v not_o dwell_v but_o in_o a_o whole_a conscience_n therefore_o at_o what_o time_n thou_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o thy_o conscience_n at_o that_o very_a time_n thou_o lose_v a_o degree_n of_o thy_o persuasion_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o until_o such_o time_n as_o thou_o fall_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n and_o obtain_v mercy_n for_o that_o wicked_a deed_n purchase_v peace_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o repair_v thy_o persuasion_n thou_o shall_v ever_o doubt_v of_o mercy_n and_o want_n health_n in_o thy_o conscience_n then_o this_o be_v the_o first_o lesson_n to_o keep_v health_n in_o your_o soul_n to_o be_v persuade_v of_o mercy_n the_o second_o lesson_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n or_o to_o keep_v health_n in_o thy_o soul_n be_v this_o you_o must_v fly_v eschew_v and_o forbear_v whatsoever_o may_v trouble_v the_o health_n of_o your_o soul_n whatsoever_o may_v trouble_v the_o quietness_n &_o peaceable_a estate_n of_o your_o conscience_n cast_v it_o out_o forbear_v it_o and_o eschew_v it_o this_o general_n be_v good_a but_o let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o trouble_v the_o quiet_a estate_n of_o the_o conscience_n only_o sin_n nothing_o but_o a_o evil_a nature_n therefore_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n to_o keep_v health_n in_o our_o soul_n forbear_v and_o eschew_v sin_n we_o must_v fly_v and_o avoid_v sin_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o you_o can_v both_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n and_o serve_v the_o affection_n of_o your_o hart_n &_o therefore_o to_o keep_v peace_n &_o health_n in_o thy_o soul_n thou_o must_v take_v leave_n of_o thy_o lust_n thou_o must_v renounce_v the_o lust_n and_o affection_n of_o thy_o hart_n and_o thou_o must_v not_o do_v as_o thou_o be_v wont_a
