thou_o must_v die_v in_o thy_o sin_n the_o point_n be_v this_o we_o must_v pull_v down_o our_o proud_a heart_n and_o cast_v out_o this_o leaven_n of_o maliciousness_n which_o make_v we_o unfit_a to_o

participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o next_o sabbath_n day_n we_o be_v now_o to_o meditate_v upon_o some_o argument_n fit_v for_o that_o purpose_n and_o to_o proceed_v in_o that_o text_n we_o begin_v in_o namely_o 1_o cor._n 11.26_o for_o as_o oft_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v the_o text_n you_o may_v remember_v we_o divide_v into_o two_o part_n first_o here_o be_v a_o action_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n the_o receive_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n second_o here_o be_v a_o caution_n that_o this_o action_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v withal_o and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n you_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v concern_v the_o action_n in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n we_o note_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o part_n of_o the_o action_n to_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup._n second_o the_o frequent_v of_o the_o action_n in_o this_o clause_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v frequent_v or_o do_v often_o of_o the_o part_n of_o this_o action_n we_o have_v speak_v before_o wherein_o we_o note_v first_o that_o the_o nature_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n consist_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n because_o the_o apostle_n describe_v the_o sacrament_n by_o the_o use_n of_o it_o second_o we_o note_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o element_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o be_v call_v by_o their_o own_o name_n after_o the_o word_n of_o blessing_n and_o therefore_o for_o substance_n they_o be_v the_o same_o creature_n as_o before_o three_o they_o be_v as_o i_o show_v set_v forth_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n though_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o nature_n they_o be_v the_o same_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o use_n they_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o any_o other_o last_o he_o couple_n they_o together_o as_o oft_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n thence_o we_o note_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o to_o be_v administer_v in_o one_o kind_n only_o but_o in_o both_o in_o the_o bread_n and_o in_o the_o wine_n and_o not_o in_o the_o bread_n without_o the_o wine_n nor_o in_o wine_n without_o the_o bread_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o part_n of_o this_o action_n the_o other_o branch_n follow_v namely_o the_o frequent_v or_o often_o performance_n of_o the_o action_n in_o these_o word_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n whereby_o be_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o as_o this_o action_n of_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v frequent_v and_o oft_o perform_v we_o must_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n and_o that_o ofttimes_o it_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n that_o this_o church_n of_o corinth_n to_o who_o the_o apostle_n write_v this_o epistle_n that_o they_o do_v usual_o in_o most_o of_o their_o church-assembly_n and_o meeting_n if_o not_o in_o all_o communicate_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 17._o and_o 18._o verse_n tell_v they_o of_o thing_n general_o amiss_o in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o the_o 20._o verse_n he_o give_v instance_n in_o this_o particular_a namely_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n mark_v the_o word_n when_o you_o come_v together_o therefore_o into_o one_o place_n this_o be_v not_o to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n the_o word_n do_v sound_a to_o this_o effect_n that_o usual_o when_o the_o corinthian_n come_v together_o in_o the_o church-assembly_n they_o do_v eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n howsoever_o they_o do_v much_o misdemeane_n and_o miscarry_v themselves_o in_o this_o holy_a action_n that_o they_o do_v not_o carry_v themselves_o so_o to_o god_n glory_n norwith_o reverence_n to_o his_o ordinance_n nor_o with_o that_o profit_n and_o comfort_n to_o themselves_o and_o love_n to_o their_o brethren_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v because_o they_o receive_v it_o disorderly_o one_o before_o another_o yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o receive_v that_o be_v usual_a among_o they_o the_o apostle_n take_v this_o for_o a_o thing_n grant_v that_o when_o they_o come_v together_o they_o do_v eat_v else_o the_o consequence_n have_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n but_o speak_v general_o of_o their_o assembly_n &_o churchmeeting_n he_o speak_v of_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o a_o thing_n usual_a in_o most_o of_o they_o if_o not_o in_o all_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n fall_v into_o the_o mention_n of_o the_o frequent_v of_o this_o action_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n etc._n etc._n which_o yet_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o understand_v it_o not_o only_o as_o a_o bare_a mention_n of_o a_o thing_n do_v by_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n that_o they_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v oft_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v they_o do_v so_o indeed_o but_o whether_o it_o be_v well_o do_v or_o ill_o do_v it_o make_v no_o matter_n the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n give_v we_o better_o light_n to_o see_v by_o for_o our_o resolution_n herein_o and_o we_o may_v therein_o discern_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n amiss_o that_o they_o do_v so_o yea_o further_o that_o it_o be_v well_o do_v yea_o three_o that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o necessity_n for_o they_o and_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o communicate_v in_o first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n amiss_o among_o they_o for_o if_o it_o have_v certain_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v reprove_v they_o for_o it_o as_o he_o do_v for_o other_o abuse_n especial_o see_v he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o reprove_v and_o reform_v such_o abuse_n as_o be_v creep_v into_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n they_o do_v this_o and_o oft_o frequent_v the_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n if_o so_o be_v that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o thing_n amiss_o the_o apostle_n of_o purpose_n reprove_v thing_n amiss_o he_o will_v have_v reprove_v this_o but_o see_v he_o reprove_v it_o not_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o ill_o do_v second_o the_o text_n make_v it_o clear_a that_o it_o be_v well_o do_v and_o it_o be_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o commendation_n for_o the_o apostle_n build_v a_o precept_n upon_o this_o practice_n of_o they_o
table_n to_o eat_v of_o the_o same_o bread_n no_o such_o fuel_n to_o maintain_v this_o fire_n of_o love_n in_o their_o heart_n as_o the_o spiritual_a food_n they_o participate_v of_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n child_n kindle_v towards_o we_o and_o we_o to_o they_o and_o not_o go_v out_o then_o let_v we_o use_v this_o most_o effectual_a mean_n namely_o the_o oft_o communicate_v and_o participate_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n reason_n 6_o the_o last_o reason_n be_v concern_v the_o word_n the_o word_n be_v oft_o to_o be_v hear_v therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v oft_o to_o be_v communicate_v in_o that_o the_o word_n be_v oft_o to_o be_v hear_v i_o think_v none_o will_v deny_v that_o we_o must_v hear_v the_o word_n at_o all_o time_n by_o day_n and_o by_o night_n in_o season_n and_o out_o of_o season_n the_o word_n and_o the_o sacrament_n be_v join_v together_o in_o a_o near_a bond_n and_o league_n by_o god_n ordinance_n and_o they_o be_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o efrect_v as_o a_o writing_n and_o a_o seal_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o must_v be_v frequent_a in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n than_o also_o frequent_a in_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o so_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o word_n may_v be_v seal_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o sacrament_n that_o that_o we_o hear_v in_o the_o one_o we_o may_v feel_v in_o the_o other_o that_o so_o we_o may_v grow_v along_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n till_o at_o length_n we_o become_v perfect_a man_n in_o christ_n use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n be_v for_o matter_n of_o reproof_n of_o gross_a and_o grievous_a negligence_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o duty_n general_o and_o the_o negligence_n seize_v upon_o the_o minister_n many_o time_n as_o well_o as_o upon_o the_o people_n first_o we_o will_v speak_v against_o the_o negligence_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o then_o of_o the_o negligence_n of_o the_o people_n a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o the_o first_o many_o miniser_n be_v negligent_a in_o this_o duty_n either_o forsooth_o because_o they_o will_v spare_v their_o own_o pain_n and_o labour_n or_o elf_n because_o they_o be_v careless_a of_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n commit_v unto_o they_o they_o have_v not_o that_o regard_n of_o they_o as_o they_o shall_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o let_v the_o people_n settle_v themselves_o upon_o the_o lees_n of_o their_o sin_n either_o they_o tender_v it_o not_o oft_o unto_o they_o but_o haply_o once_o or_o four_o time_n a_o year_n or_o if_o they_o do_v tender_v it_o often_o yet_o they_o suffer_v the_o people_n to_o absent_v themselves_o without_o any_o just_a occasion_n great_a be_v the_o negligence_n of_o many_o in_o this_o case_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a sin_n and_o a_o heavy_a account_n have_v many_o to_o make_v for_o this_o

of_o our_o power_n and_o then_o if_o you_o come_v not_o oft_o you_o shall_v perish_v in_o your_o sin_n &_o negligence_n but_o we_o shall_v deliver_v our_o own_o soul_n but_o if_o we_o be_v negligent_a

to_o look_v unto_o it_o not_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o own_o soul_n and_o our_o own_o good_a but_o in_o regard_n of_o you_o and_o in_o love_n to_o your_o soul_n that_o we_o shall_v tender_v

we_o be_v sinner_n and_o just_o liable_a to_o god_n wrath_n and_o sentence_n of_o his_o displeasure_n even_o because_o he_o be_v god_n sin_n be_v a_o wrong_n to_o god_n for_o he_o be_v our_o creator_n

apostle_n describe_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n set_v it_o forth_o by_o the_o use_n of_o it_o not_o by_o have_v of_o it_o or_o by_o have_v access_n to_o it_o but_o by_o have_v the_o use_n of_o it_o by_o eat_v the_o bread_n and_o drink_v the_o cup._n thence_o we_o note_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n consist_v in_o matter_n of_o action_n and_o use_n then_o again_o we_o note_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o they_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o call_v they_o by_o their_o ordinary_a name_n the_o bread_n by_o the_o name_n of_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n by_o the_o name_n of_o cup_n from_o hence_o we_o gather_v this_o doctrine_n that_o even_o after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n and_o blessing_n still_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n for_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n be_v the_o same_o as_o they_o be_v before_o still_o they_o remain_v bread_n and_o wine_n so_o far_o we_o proceed_v now_o we_o be_v to_o proceed_v further_o three_o than_o we_o be_v here_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o these_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o they_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o set_v they_o forth_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n this_o bread_n and_o this_o cup_n for_o by_o the_o cup_n be_v mean_v wine_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n he_o set_v they_o forth_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n as_o in_o all_o thing_n we_o must_v keep_v a_o mean_a without_o go_v too_o far_o or_o come_v too_o short_a so_o special_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o keep_v on_o the_o right_a way_n without_o turn_v either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a we_o must_v take_v all_o matter_n of_o religion_n in_o that_o very_a precise_a and_o true_a strain_n that_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v set_v upon_o they_o we_o be_v apt_a enough_o to_o err_v as_o well_o on_o the_o one_o side_n as_o on_o the_o other_o as_o well_o on_o the_o right_a side_n as_o on_o the_o left_a and_o to_o err_v on_o either_o side_n be_v alike_o dangerous_a so_o it_o be_v in_o other_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o estimation_n of_o these_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n some_o do_v err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n in_o their_o estimation_n of_o they_o think_v too_o high_o of_o they_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v corporal_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o wine_n be_v corporal_o the_o very_a blood_n of_o christ_n on_o the_o other_o side_n other_o there_o be_v that_o err_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n in_o their_o estimation_n of_o they_o they_o esteem_v too_o mean_o and_o base_o of_o they_o as_o the_o profane_a people_n of_o the_o world_n they_o general_o esteem_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n no_o better_a than_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n at_o their_o own_o table_n to_o meet_v with_o both_o these_o error_n and_o so_o to_o keep_v our_o heart_n upright_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o god_n truth_n herein_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o short_a speech_n give_v we_o a_o good_a caveat_n and_o preservative_n and_o first_o that_o we_o may_v not_o think_v too_o high_o of_o they_o and_o so_o err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v the_o apostle_n still_o call_v they_o bread_n and_o wine_n show_v that_o in_o the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o they_o they_o be_v the_o same_o as_o they_o be_v before_o next_o that_o we_o may_v not_o err_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o think_v too_o mean_o and_o base_o of_o they_o as_o the_o profane_a people_n do_v he_o extol_v they_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n though_o the_o bread_n be_v but_o bread_n in_o itself_o and_o the_o wine_n be_v

other_o wine_n we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v for_o proof_n of_o this_o doctrine_n any_o further_a than_o this_o chapter_n this_o chapter_n afford_v we_o very_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o it_o if_o we_o mark_v the_o apostle_n he_o point_v out_o here_o three_o difference_n between_o our_o ordinary_a food_n that_o we_o have_v at_o our_o meal_n and_o this_o extraordinary_a food_n that_o we_o have_v at_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o first_o be_v in_o the_o 20._o and_o 21._o verse_n when_o you_o come_v together_o therefore_o into_o one_o place_n this_o be_v not_o to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n for_o every_o man_n when_o they_o shall_v eat_v take_v his_o own_o supper_n afore_o and_o one_o be_v hungry_a and_o another_o be_v drunken_a our_o ordinary_a food_n be_v our_o

our_o own_o food_n but_o the_o lord_n food_n it_o be_v not_o our_o own_o supper_n but_o the_o lord_n supper_n when_o we_o come_v to_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n and_o to_o drink_v of_o this_o cup_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n supper_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v look_v how_o much_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o that_o which_o be_v your_o own_o and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n so_o much_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o your_o own_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o you_o have_v at_o your_o own_o table_n and_o that_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o you_o have_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o look_v how_o much_o you_o prefer_v that_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n before_o that_o which_o be_v your_o own_o so_o much_o you_o must_v prefer_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o lord_n table_n before_o your_o own_o bread_n yea_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n if_o it_o be_v not_o receive_v with_o this_o reverend_a acceptation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n bread_n and_o the_o lord_n wine_n sure_o they_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n unto_o we_o but_o our_o own_o no_o more_o benefit_n come_v to_o we_o by_o they_o than_o by_o our_o own_o bread_n and_o wine_n at_o our_o own_o table_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reach_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o two_o verse_n there_o be_v the_o first_o difference_n this_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o other_o be_v our_o own_o and_o as_o we_o prefer_v that_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n before_o our_o own_o so_o we_o must_v prefer_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o lord_n table_n before_o the_o bread_n of_o our_o own_o table_n the_o second_o difference_n which_o the_o apostle_n point_v at_o be_v this_o in_o the_o 22._o verse_n have_v you_o not_o house_n to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v in_o despise_v you_o the_o church_n of_o

have_v it_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n your_o bread_n and_o your_o wine_n be_v home-food_n but_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n be_v church-food_n your_o bread_n and_o your_o wine_n be_v for_o your_o child_n servant_n and_o family_n but_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n be_v for_o god_n child_n for_o his_o house_n and_o family_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o but_o do_v esteem_v more_o high_o of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n than_o you_o do_v of_o your_o own_o house_n and_o therefore_o by_o that_o learn_v to_o esteem_v of_o these_o mystery_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n above_o that_o which_o you_o receive_v at_o your_o own_o house_n the_o three_o and_o the_o last_o difference_n be_v that_o which_o be_v in_o this_o 26.27_o and_o 28._o verse_n where_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o cup_n the_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o carry_v a_o implication_n i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o this_o bread_n and_o other_o bread_n between_o this_o wine_n and_o other_o wine_n other_o bread_n and_o wine_n they_o be_v but_o natural_a or_o artificial_a thing_n serve_v only_o for_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n but_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n that_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n over_z and_o beside_o that_o natural_a and_o artificial_a face_n that_o be_v set_v upon_o they_o over_z and_o beside_o that_o which_o they_o have_v in_o nature_n these_o have_v a_o supernatural_a condition_n impose_v upon_o they_o from_o above_o whereby_o they_o be_v advance_v above_o any_o other_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o make_v serviceable_a for_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n so_o than_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n have_v point_v out_o these_o three_o difference_n it_o make_v the_o doctrine_n very_o clear_a that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o any_o other_o bread_n and_o wine_n whatsoever_o to_o confirm_v this_o let_v we_o add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scholar_n the_o word_n of_o the_o master_n luke_n 22.19_o 20._o it_o be_v

the_o lord_n supper_n say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o be_v far_o better_o and_o of_o far_o great_a use_n and_o excellency_n than_o any_o of_o our_o ordinary_a food_n yea_o better_o than_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o at_o our_o own_o feast_n but_o even_o at_o any_o other_o feast_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o well_o may_v the_o apostle_n say_v this_o bread_n and_o this_o cup_n advancing_z it_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n above_o all_o other_o bread_n and_o wine_n whatsoever_o reason_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o owner_n of_o it_o namely_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o do_v belong_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v his_o bread_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o the_o apostle_n note_v in_o the_o 27._o verse_n whosoever_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v the_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n unworthy_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n he_o change_v his_o style_n and_o whereas_o he_o call_v it_o this_o

this_o bread_n because_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n bread_n therefore_o it_o be_v this_o cup_n a_o cup_n of_o excellency_n because_o it_o be_v the_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n general_o we_o do_v esteem_v thing_n to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o excellent_a according_a to_o the_o excellency_n of_o he_o that_o own_v they_o or_o that_o they_o belong_v unto_o why_o christ_n be_v far_o above_o all_o excellency_n principality_n power_n and_o dominion_n whatsoever_o we_o must_v needs_o therefore_o acknowledge_v that_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o any_o other_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o owner_n of_o they_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o owner_n of_o all_o the_o creature_n they_o be_v his_o because_o he_o make_v they_o it_o be_v very_o true_a yea_o but_o yet_o we_o must_v take_v notice_n here_o of_o a_o further_o &_o a_o special_a owe_v of_o these_o creature_n whereby_o they_o belong_v to_o christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o in_o many_o respect_n first_o beside_o that_o they_o be_v his_o creature_n as_o other_o thing_n be_v these_o be_v christ_n his_o own_o by_o institution_n because_o christ_n have_v institute_v they_o by_o his_o own_o word_n and_o likewise_o by_o his_o own_o fact_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o own_o save_a ordinance_n second_o they_o be_v his_o own_o by_o representation_n for_o as_o they_o be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o ordinance_n so_o they_o be_v a_o lively_a picture_n of_o christ_n jesus_n whereby_o he_o represent_v and_o tender_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o every_o faithful_a believer_n all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o they_o they_o be_v his_o own_o by_o representation_n as_o caesar_n picture_n be_v he_o because_o it_o carry_v

whole_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n three_o they_o be_v his_o own_o by_o communion_n because_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o

the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n so_o than_o you_o see_v the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n

those_o creature_n in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o so_o likewise_o the_o commandment_n that_o our_o saviour_n give_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o minister_n that_o they_o shall_v bless_v those_o creature_n it_o imply_v a_o promise_n that_o when_o minister_n pray_v for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o they_o according_a to_o god_n ordinance_n god_n will_v be_v present_a with_o they_o to_o bless_v they_o and_o therefore_o they_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o blessing_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o any_o other_o but_o do_v we_o not_o bless_v other_o

that_o the_o passeover_n be_v but_o for_o one_o temporal_a deliverance_n from_o the_o egyptian_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o that_o one_o deliverance_n be_v but_o once_o wrought_v but_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n resemble_v unto_o we_o our_o eternal_a deliverance_n from_o sin_n satan_n hell_n death_n and_o damnation_n and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o wrought_v

of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v more_o careful_a say_v they_o than_o christ_n and_o he_o never_o receive_v it_o but_o once_o in_o all_o his_o life_n time_n and_o therefore_o

that_o we_o may_v understand_v it_o in_o that_o sacrament_n the_o lord_n express_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n unto_o we_o lively_o that_o we_o may_v be_v affect_v with_o it_o in_o that_o sacrament_n likewise_o the_o lord_n tender_v unto_o we_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o better_o retain_v the_o memorial_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o may_v stick_v the_o fast_o and_o the_o close_o by_o we_o not_o only_o for_o that_o present_a time_n while_o we_o be_v receive_v but_o also_o for_o all_o time_n afterward_o for_o as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o bodily_a repast_n we_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o some_o one_o set_a time_n or_o other_o as_o namely_o at_o dinner_n or_o at_o supper_n not_o that_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v refresh_v and_o comfort_v then_o only_o for_o the_o

1_o first_o he_o be_v so_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o be_v and_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n equal_a with_o god_n phil._n 2.6_o he_o be_v god_n himself_o

all_o doubt_n that_o he_o be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o he_o may_v whereby_o god_n have_v manifest_v his_o power_n dominion_n and_o majesty_n visible_o and_o sensible_o to_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n more_o than_o in_o any_o of_o the_o other_o person_n for_o howsoever_o god_n the_o father_n be_v lord_n and_o the_o holy_a

have_v be_v most_o plain_o declare_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n 1_o cor._n 15.47_o reas_n 3_o three_o his_o work_n prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o lord_n whatsoever_o belong_v to_o a_o lord_n that_o he_o

to_o proceed_v a_o little_a further_o 5_o five_o consider_v the_o continual_a access_n that_o we_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o christ_n have_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n we_o be_v not_o stint_v and_o

the_o lord_n supper_n the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n he_o call_v they_o by_o their_o own_o proper_a name_n eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n that_o be_v this_o wine_n he_o call_v

not_o in_o one_o kine_n only_o but_o in_o both_o kind_n now_o the_o rule_n be_v this_o that_o our_o saviour_n example_n in_o all_o matter_n of_o substance_n in_o all_o his_o ordinance_n must_v be_v the_o rule_n that_o we_o must_v follow_v this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o substance_n concern_v this_o save_a ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o therefore_o his_o example_n in_o this_o be_v

that_o christ_n give_v charge_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o as_o he_o say_v of_o the_o bread_n so_o the_o same_o he_o say_v of_o the_o wine_n that_o be_v whatsoever_o
conscience_n he_o commend_v they_o as_o god_n own_o ordinance_n so_o then_o that_o which_o he_o receive_v of_o christ_n he_o deliver_v unto_o they_o that_o which_o he_o deliver_v unto_o they_o be_v

the_o evangelist_n matthew_n and_o mark_n do_v speak_v nothing_o of_o our_o saviour_n command_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o s._n luke_n he_o speak_v it_o only_o concern_v the_o

that_o be_v for_o the_o bread_n the_o same_o he_o give_v for_o the_o cup_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o necesitie_n that_o there_o be_v for_o the_o one_o to_o be_v administer_v to_o the_o laity_n the_o same_o there_o be_v for_o the_o other_o reason_n 1_o the_o reason_n first_o the_o proportion_n between_o the_o sign_n &_o the_o thing_n signify_v require_v as_o much_o what_o be_v the_o thing_n

then_o consider_v the_o object_n that_o be_v to_o be_v see_v and_o behold_v in_o this_o glass_n be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o glass_n wherein_o this_o be_v to_o be_v behold_v a_o glass_n must_v be_v true_a and_o clear_a and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v clear_o and_o plain_o and_o lively_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a object_n there_o to_o be_v consider_v again_o sacrament_n we_o know_v be_v teach_v sign_n figne_n ordain_v of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v teacher_n unto_o we_o

give_v wonderful_a light_n to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n for_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o minister_n make_v rehearsal_n of_o the_o same_o word_n of_o

unto_o we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n this_o be_v a_o notable_a mean_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n last_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a duty_n and_o a_o needful_a duty_n about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o show_v forth_o both_o our_o thankfulness_n and_o our_o cheerfulness_n even_o by_o sing_v of_o psalm_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o there_o be_v no_o

long_o as_o the_o world_n stand_v the_o second_o thing_n be_v covert_o employ_v yet_o plain_a enough_o too_o if_o the_o word_n be_v well_o weigh_v and_o consider_v and_o that_o be_v the_o end_n or_o

he_o have_v put_v all_o his_o enemy_n under_o his_o foot_n till_o he_o have_v put_v all_o his_o enemy_n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o first_o that_o christ_n reign_v shall_v be_v continual_a

you_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v proportionable_o imply_v to_o all_o the_o faithful_a by_o succession_n from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o apostle_n know_v very_o well_o that_o the_o corinthian_n in_o themselves_o in_o their_o own_o person_n shall_v not_o live_v till_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o

their_o time_n that_o they_o must_v observe_v it_o so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v and_o likewise_o impose_v the_o same_o duty_n upon_o the_o succeed_a church_n from_o age_n to_o age_n to_o the_o world_n end_n that_o they_o must_v observe_v this_o duty_n so_o too_o so_o that_o be_v the_o first_o explication_n the_o second_o explication_n be_v this_o that_o howsoever_o this_o clause_n be_v here_o express_o refer_v only_o to_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n to_o the_o caution_n to_o the_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n death_n you_o remember_v christ_n death_n till_o he_o come_v yet_o it_o be_v employ_v and_o intend_v to_o belong_v also_o unto_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n to_o the_o action_n itself_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o as_o that_o particle_n of_o frequent_v the_o word_n often_o be_v use_v only_o in_o the_o former_a part_n yet_o it_o extend_v itself_o in_o sense_n to_o the_o latter_a so_o this_o

so_o that_o both_o the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o lord_n death_n and_o also_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n both_o these_o be_v to_o be_v continue_v till_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n here_o expound_v pound_v our_o saviour_n meaning_n in_o the_o word_n go_v before_o when_o he_o say_v do_v this_o in_o

the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o here_o you_o see_v that_o our_o saviour_n lay_v a_o charge_n upon_o his_o apostle_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v this_o what_o administer_v and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n well_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o our_o saviour_n will_v have_v his_o apostle_n that_o they_o only_o

meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n that_o all_o the_o faithful_a shall_v remember_v christ_n from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o the_o apostle_n and_o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n reach_v in_o these_o word_n for_o have_v make_v rehearsal_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n in_o the_o 25_o verse_n present_o he_o say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o then_o he_o add_v again_o if_o you_o do_v this_o you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v the_o apostle_n build_v this_o very_a doctrine_n upon_o this_o very_a exhortation_n because_o christ_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o perpetual_a ordinance_n and_o must_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o church_n till_o his_o last_o come_n to_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v esteem_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n a_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o he_o build_v it_o plain_o thereupon_o so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o proof_n out_o of_o scripture_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o reason_n may_v be_v add_v for_o further_a light_n the_o reason_n be_v many_o reason_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o compare_v this_o with_o the_o passeover_n that_o be_v to_o last_v for_o ever_o exodus_fw-la 12.14_o this_o be_v a_o holy_a remembrance_n to_o you_o a_o holy_a feast_n to_o be_v keep_v among_o you_o throughout_o all_o generation_n you_o shall_v keep_v it_o a_o holy_a feast_n for_o ever_o the_o passeover_n be_v so_o in_o the_o former_a testament_n therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v be_v so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o be_v to_o last_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o this_o to_o last_v for_o ever_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v these_o two_o first_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n answer_v to_o the_o passeover_n and_o indeed_o unto_o we_o it_o do_v succeed_v in_o stead_n and_o in_o place_n unto_o the_o passeover_n as_o we_o have_v show_v partly_o before_o and_o god_n willing_a shall_v show_v more_o hereafter_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n answer_v to_o the_o passeover_n the_o passeover_n be_v to_o last_o for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v last_v for_o ever_o too_o the_o other_o ground_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o passeover_n be_v a_o sacrament_n for_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v only_o a_o time_n of_o shadow_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o time_n of_o substance_n shall_v we_o say_v that_o the_o shadow_n shall_v be_v serve_v with_o more_o durable_a thing_n than_o the_o substance_n be_v except_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n be_v serve_v with_o more_o durable_a thing_n than_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n sure_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o one_o must_v be_v as_o durable_a as_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o passeover_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o ever_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v be_v observe_v for_o ever_o too_o and_o whereas_o the_o word_n for_o ever_o may_v admit_v of_o two_o good_a and_o holy_a interpretation_n which_o way_n soever_o you_o take_v it_o yet_o still_o the_o force_n of_o this_o reason_n hold_v if_o we_o expound_v that_o for_o ever_o in_o that_o sign_n or_o in_o the_o type_n that_o be_v to_o say_v till_o christ_n his_o first_o come_n or_o till_o christ_n come_v and_o suffer_v in_o

take_v it_o i_o say_v in_o this_o sense_n yet_o the_o force_n of_o the_o reason_n will_v necessary_o follow_v if_o the_o passeover_n be_v to_o last_o for_o ever_o till_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n than_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v last_v for_o ever_o till_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n second_o expound_v it_o for_o ever_o that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o sign_n but_o in_o the_o substance_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o ever_o and_o so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n stand_v and_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o to_o all_o eternity_n expound_v it_o so_o for_o so_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n they_o do_v stand_v good_a and_o be_v good_a for_o ever_o in_o christ_n the_o substance_n of_o they_o take_v it_o in_o this_o sense_n yet_o the_o reason_n hold_v well_o for_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o passeover_n shall_v last_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o why_o
