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 and_o when_o he_o please_v the_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 sacrament_n and_o take_v the_o office_n from_o he_o so_o when_o the_o person_n of_o the_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_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n serve_v to_o thy_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 all_o these_o fruit_n do_v flow_v and_o proceed_v then_o i_o say_v suppose_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v one_o 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 equal_a 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 &_o wine_n water_n be_v appoint_v to_o represent_v christ_n in_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 two_o that_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o one_o sacrament_n 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_v 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 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
only_o if_o this_o be_v so_o he_o may_v be_v private_o give_v and_o minister_v but_o see_v christ_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o common_a thing_n belong_v to_o every_o faithful_a man_n and_o woman_n therefore_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v common_o give_v to_o all_o in_o a_o common_a action_n in_o a_o society_n &_o congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a three_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o thansgive_n to_o god_n the_o father_n for_o his_o benefit_n now_o it_o appertain_v not_o to_o one_o or_o two_o to_o thank_v god_n only_o but_o as_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o his_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a benefit_n so_o we_o ought_v all_o of_o we_o public_o to_o give_v he_o thanks_n for_o the_o same_o therefore_o i_o say_v in_o the_o definition_n this_o seal_n ought_v to_o be_v public_o and_o not_o private_o minister_v as_o the_o papist_n do_v in_o their_o private_a mass_n this_o seal_n must_v be_v public_o minister_v according_a to_o christ_n his_o institution_n wherefore_o say_v i_o christ_n his_o institution_n more_o than_o man_n institution_n or_o angel_n institution_n why_o keep_v i_o to_o christ_n his_o institution_n because_o man_n have_v not_o power_n to_o institute_v or_o make_v a_o sacrament_n only_o because_o a_o angel_n have_v not_o power_n to_o make_v or_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n for_o none_o have_v power_n to_o make_v or_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n but_o he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o give_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o none_o have_v power_n to_o give_v christ_n but_o either_o the_o father_n or_o himself_o therefore_o none_o have_v power_n to_o make_v or_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n but_o either_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n only_o god_n must_v make_v a_o sacrament_n second_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n service_n and_o worship_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o none_o have_v power_n to_o appoint_v any_o part_n of_o his_o service_n or_o prescribe_v any_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n but_o only_o god_n himself_o therefore_o none_o can_v make_v a_o sacrament_n but_o god_n himself_o there_o be_v no_o prince_n will_v be_v content_v to_o be_v serve_v after_o another_o man_n fantasy_n but_o he_o will_v prescribe_v his_o service_n according_a unto_o his_o own_o pleasure_n how_o much_o more_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o god_n shall_v appoint_v his_o own_o service_n &_o worship_n therefore_o there_o be_v neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n have_v power_n to_o institute_v any_o part_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o service_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o angel_n nor_o man_n have_v power_n to_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n the_o great_a stile_n that_o any_o man_n can_v have_v in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n be_v that_o stile_n which_o the_o apostle_n give_v they_o 1._o cor._n 4.1_o there_o we_o be_v call_v stewarâ—s_n and_o dispenser_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n minister_n of_o those_o mystery_n and_o holy_a thing_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o we_o be_v not_o author_n creator_n and_o maker_n of_o they_o but_o only_a minister_n and_o dispenser_n of_o the_o sacrament_n so_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o man_n nor_o creature_n have_v power_n to_o make_v a_o sacrament_n then_o it_o must_v be_v according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n his_o institution_n must_v be_v keep_v look_v what_o he_o say_v what_o he_o do_v what_o he_o command_v thou_o to_o do_v all_o that_o must_v be_v say_v do_v and_o obey_v if_o thou_o

but_o it_o be_v essential_a so_o in_o the_o celebration_n of_o christ_n institution_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o whatsoever_o he_o say_v do_v or_o command_v to_o be_v do_v thou_o must_v first_o

oft_o let_v the_o singular_a favour_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n come_v in_o your_o mind_n and_o when_o ever_o you_o see_v david_n place_v in_o any_o preface_n let_v christ_n come_v in_o your_o mind_n because_o david_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ._n this_o mention_n of_o david_n place_v here_o be_v to_o let_v the_o king_n see_v that_o the_o readiness_n of_o his_o comfort_n flow_v from_o the_o

of_o david_n because_o the_o principal_a promise_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v to_o david_n and_o his_o house_n and_o special_o that_o promise_n concern_v the_o messiah_n in_o who_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_o full_o accomplish_v in_o he_o this_o be_v the_o first_o point_n of_o difference_n father_n the_o second_o point_n wherein_o they_o differ_v be_v this_o in_o this_o preface_n he_o call_v david_n the_o king_n father_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v the_o man_n who_o i_o love_v so_o well_o i_o see_v he_o to_o be_v thy_o father_n and_o thou_o to_o be_v his_o child_n and_o his_o son_n not_o only_o by_o nature_n but_o by_o grace_n i_o see_v thou_o to_o be_v his_o son_n by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a promise_n of_o grace_n make_v to_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n must_v proper_o appertain_v to_o thou_o where_o otherwise_o if_o thou_o have_v be_v his_o son_n by_o carnal_a propagation_n only_o these_o promise_n of_o grace_n have_v no_o more_o appertain_v to_o thy_o person_n than_o they_o do_v appertain_v to_o the_o person_n of_o achaz_n thy_o father_n but_o by_o reason_n thou_o be_v not_o only_o his_o son_n by_o nature_n but_o also_o by_o grace_n therefore_o the_o whole_a promise_n of_o grace_n appertain_v to_o thou_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n rom._n 9_o it_o be_v not_o carnal_a generation_n that_o make_v we_o son_n of_o the_o promise_n for_o not_o all_o that_o be_v of_o israel_n be_v israel_n in_o deed_n they_o be_v not_o all_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o only_o the_o son_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v they_o that_o through_o belief_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n become_v the_o son_n of_o mercy_n and_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n then_o this_o belief_n in_o the_o promise_n make_v we_o not_o only_a son_n to_o god_n but_o son_n to_o david_n and_o abraham_n for_o follow_v the_o footstep_n of_o abraham_n in_o his_o faith_n by_o imitation_n of_o his_o faith_n we_o become_v his_o son_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o word_n of_o the_o preface_n lesson_n of_o this_o i_o mark_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n and_o first_o by_o these_o word_n you_o see_v the_o prophet_n stay_v not_o nor_o bide_v not_o but_o hold_v forth_o his_o course_n till_o he_o be_v command_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o stand_v and_o stay_v he_o have_v a_o special_a command_n for_o he_o ere_o he_o return_v this_o teach_v all_o officebearer_n that_o in_o god_n errand_n no_o mâ—n_z oughts_z to_o enterprise_v any_o thing_n at_o his_o own_o hand_n but_o to_o have_v the_o lord_n own_o advice_n ere_o he_o proceed_v to_o his_o work_n we_o have_v his_o advice_n when_o we_o have_v the_o warrant_n of_o his_o word_n the_o second_o thing_n i_o mark_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v command_v to_o go_v lesson_n he_o stay_v not_o but_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n say_v the_o word_n he_o obey_v he_o make_v no_o doubt_v he_o aâ—keth_v no_o reason_n at_o god_n he_o take_v it_o not_o to_o his_o advisement_n he_o make_v no_o opposition_n but_o incontinent_o he_o obey_v and_o sure_o this_o be_v true_a that_o if_o ever_o flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v any_o reason_n to_o have_v repine_v isaiah_n have_v reason_n at_o this_o time_n and_o why_o in_o a_o moment_n and_o with_o one_o mouth_n he_o be_v command_v to_o recall_v that_o severe_a sentence_n which_o he_o have_v pronounce_v and_o to_o pronounce_v the_o contrary_a which_o may_v have_v engender_v a_o wonderful_a suspicion_n in_o the_o king_n heart_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o suddainnes_n if_o isaiah_n have_v be_v as_o short_a and_o as_o angry_a as_o jonas_n no_o question_n he_o will_v have_v ask_v a_o reason_n at_o god_n for_o jonas_n be_v not_o command_v to_o recall_v his_o sentence_n neither_o be_v he_o send_v in_o such_o suddainnes_n to_o call_v it_o back_o but_o he_o see_v the_o word_n of_o his_o threaten_n not_o to_o come_v to_o pass_v therefore_o he_o fret_v and_o fume_v against_o god_n where_o if_o he_o have_v be_v command_v in_o such_o suddainnes_n to_o go_v and_o recall_v his_o sentence_n you_o may_v easy_o conjecture_v what_o shall_v have_v be_v his_o part_n this_o perturbation_n that_o be_v in_o jonas_n let_v we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n for_o if_o he_o have_v understand_v that_o in_o all_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o condition_n annex_v he_o will_v not_o have_v take_v it_o so_o high_o and_o if_o he_o have_v understand_v that_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o cast_v off_o a_o sinner_n he_o have_v not_o take_v it_o so_o angry_o but_o be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o he_o fall_v into_o this_o fume_n and_o fret_v against_o god_n so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n here_o to_o be_v note_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v eschew_v of_o the_o teacher_n in_o the_o person_n of_o jonas_n another_o thing_n to_o be_v follow_v of_o they_o in_o the_o person_n of_o

his_o judgement_n in_o mercy_n now_o i_o say_v this_o fault_n will_v be_v eschew_v of_o all_o and_o special_o of_o officebearer_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v no_o office-bearer_n which_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n who_o will_v not_o rejoice_v exceed_o and_o be_v glad_a to_o see_v all_o these_o threaten_n which_o from_o time_n to_o time_n be_v pronounce_v against_o

but_o he_o will_v exceed_o rejoice_v to_o see_v these_o threaten_n turn_v in_o mercy_n again_o i_o be_o assure_v there_o be_v not_o a_o spiritual_a office-bearer_n that_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o

superior_a and_o supreme_a turn_v in_o mercy_n he_o be_v more_o than_o unhappy_a that_o be_v so_o incline_v to_o threaten_v that_o if_o he_o see_v the_o
city_n &_o country_n be_v defile_v with_o these_o vice_n procure_v so_o far_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v a_o evil_a end_n to_o their_o own_o soul_n it_o be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o so_o many_o as_o let_v they_o loose_v to_o these_o vicâ—s_n must_v fall_v into_o his_o hand_n for_o it_o can_v be_v but_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n

prevent_v he_o shall_v perish_v in_o his_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v not_o one_o of_o the_o least_o judgement_n of_o god_n for_o john_n 8._o it_o be_v count_v one_o of_o the_o most_o terrible_a judgement_n when_o the_o lord_n threaten_v the_o pharisy_n that_o they_o shall_v perish_v in_o their_o sin_n if_o the_o word_n which_o be_v now_o sound_v may_v have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v call_v

of_o the_o great_a part_n and_o to_o seal_v up_o their_o judgement_n against_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n wrath_n which_o day_n they_o have_v blot_v out_o of_o their_o mind_n and_o put_v out_o of_o

far_o for_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o similitude_n he_o go_v forward_a and_o he_o say_v he_o have_v cut_v he_o off_o from_o his_o beam_n or_o from_o the_o throomb_n that_o go_v about_o the_o

in_o the_o sacrament_n entreat_v the_o corporal_a visible_a and_o outward_a thing_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v the_o spiritual_a heavenly_a and_o inward_a thing_n and_o why_o nothing_o without_o a_o reason_n these_o corporal_a sign_n be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v the_o spiritual_a thing_n because_o we_o be_v corporal_a we_o be_v earthly_a body_n we_o have_v our_o

be_v spiritual_a &_o we_o be_v corporal_a therefore_o to_o bring_v we_o unto_o the_o sight_n of_o these_o spiritual_a thing_n he_o use_v a_o corporal_a mean_n &_o a_o outward_a sign_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o these_o corporal_a sign_n be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v the_o spiritual_a thing_n the_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o both_o the_o sacrament_n be_v one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o christ_n jesus_n
that_o have_v bread_n only_o and_o wine_n only_o have_v not_o a_o perfect_a corporal_a nourishment_n therefore_o that_o they_o may_v represent_v and_o let_v we_o see_v a_o perfect_a nourishment_n he_o

full_a and_o perfect_a nourishment_n for_o his_o soul_n then_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o there_o be_v two_o sign_n appoint_v in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o only_o one_o sign_n in_o baptism_n endure_v there_o remain_v yet_o concern_v these_o sign_n two_o thing_n to_o be_v inquire_v first_o what_o power_n have_v that_o bread_n in_o this_o sacrament_n to_o be_v a_o sign_n more_o than_o the_o bread_n which_o be_v use_v in_o common_a house_n from_o whence_o come_v that_o power_n next_o if_o it_o have_v a_o power_n how_o long_o endure_v and_o remain_v that_o power_n with_o the_o bread_n for_o the_o first_o concern_v the_o power_n which_o that_o bread_n have_v more_o than_o any_o other_o bread_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o bread_n have_v a_o power_n give_v unto_o it_o by_o christ_n &_o by_o his_o institution_n answer_n by_o the_o which_o institution_n it_o be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v his_o body_n to_o represent_v his_o body_n and_o to_o deliver_v his_o body_n institution_n that_o bread_n have_v a_o power_n flow_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o institution_n which_o other_o common_a bread_n have_v not_o so_o that_o if_o any_o of_o you_o will_v ask_v when_o the_o minister_n in_o this_o action_n be_v break_v or_o distribute_v that_o bread_n pour_v out_o and_o distribute_v that_o wine_n if_o you_o will_v i_o say_v ask_v what_o sort_n of_o creature_n those_o be_v this_o be_v the_o answer_n they_o be_v holy_a thing_n you_o must_v give_v this_o name_n to_o the_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ._n that_o bread_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o holy_a bread_n and_o that_o wine_n be_v a_o holy_a wine_n why_o because_o the_o bless_a institution_n of_o christ_n have_v sever_v they_o from_o that_o use_n whereunto_o they_o serve_v before_o and_o have_v apply_v they_o unto_o a_o holy_a use_n not_o to_o feed_v the_o body_n but_o to_o feed_v the_o soul_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o power_n of_o that_o bread_n it_o have_v a_o power_n flow_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o institution_n now_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v answer_n how_o long_o this_o power_n continue_v with_o that_o bread_n how_o long_o that_o bread_n have_v this_o office_n in_o a_o word_n table_n i_o say_v this_o power_n continue_v with_o that_o bread_n during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o action_n during_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n look_v how_o long_o that_o action_n continue_v and_o that_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n last_v so_o long_o it_o continue_v holy_a bread_n so_o long_o continue_v the_o power_n with_o that_o bread_n but_o look_v how_o soon_o the_o action_n be_v end_v so_o soon_o end_v the_o holiness_n of_o it_o look_v how_o soon_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n be_v end_v so_o soon_o that_o bread_n become_v common_a bread_n again_o and_o the_o holiness_n of_o it_o cease_v then_o this_o power_n continue_v not_o for_o ever_o but_o it_o continue_v only_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o action_n &_o service_n of_o the_o table_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o element_n there_o be_v beside_o the_o element_n another_o sort_n of_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v not_o a_o ceremony_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o have_v it_o own_o spiritual_a signification_n with_o it_o as_o namely_o look_v to_o the_o break_n of_o that_o bread_n it_o represent_v unto_o thou_o the_o break_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ._n not_o that_o his_o body_n and_o bone_n be_v break_v but_o that_o it_o be_v break_v with_o dolour_n with_o

break_n be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o wine_n also_o be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n for_o as_o you_o see_v clear_o that_o by_o the_o wine_n be_v signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o by_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o wine_n be_v signify_v that_o his_o blood_n be_v sever_v from_o his_o flesh_n and_o the_o sever_n of_o those_o two_o make_v death_n for_o in_o

for_o thou_o so_o this_o be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n which_o must_v not_o be_v leave_v out_o likewise_o the_o distribution_n give_v and_o eat_v be_v essential_a ceremony_n and_o what_o do_v the_o

what_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v he_o break_v that_o bread_n be_v he_o deal_v that_o bread_n think_v assure_o with_o thyself_o that_o christ_n be_v as_o busy_a do_v all_o these_o thing_n spiritual_o

mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v by_o a_o true_a faith_n then_o bring_v not_o to_o the_o lord_n table_n one_o mouth_n only_o for_o if_o you_o bring_v the_o mouth_n of_o your_o body_n only_o it_o

receive_v after_o a_o corporal_a and_o natural_a manner_n they_o must_v be_v take_v with_o the_o hand_n or_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n again_o a_o supernatural_a thing_n must_v be_v receive_v after_o a_o supernatural_a manner_n and_o a_o spiritual_a thing_n must_v be_v receive_v after_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n so_o as_o the_o sign_n be_v corporal_a and_o receive_v after_o a_o corporal_a manner_n with_o the_o hand_n or_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o thing_n signify_v be_v spiritual_a and_o receive_v after_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n with_o the_o hand_n and_o

a_o spiritual_a receive_n sacrament_n he_o can_v not_o be_v perceive_v nor_o receive_v but_o by_o faith_n and_o faith_n be_v spiritual_a therefore_o in_o this_o sacrament_n i_o establish_v only_o a_o

you_o to_o this_o earthly_a &_o temporal_a life_n have_v he_o not_o appoint_v christ_n to_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o inward_a mouth_n of_o thy_o soul_n to_o be_v give_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o thy_o

i_o come_v to_o the_o define_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n supper_n i_o call_v this_o sacrament_n a_o holy_a seal_n annex_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n in_o

and_o part_n of_o this_o definition_n first_o of_o all_o i_o call_v this_o sacrament_n a_o seal_n because_o this_o sacrament_n serve_v to_o the_o same_o use_n to_o our_o soul_n that_o a_o common_a seal_n do_v to_o a_o common_a evidence_n as_o the_o seal_n which_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o evidence_n confirm_v &_o seal_v up_o the_o truth_n contain_v in_o the_o evidence_n so_o this_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n confirm_v and_o seal_v up_o the_o truth_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n contain_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n for_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v call_v a_o seal_n seal_n it_o be_v call_v a_o holy_a seal_n why_o because_o it_o be_v take_v from_o profane_a use_n whereunto_o that_o bread_n serve_v before_o and_o that_o bread_n be_v

soul_n and_o in_o respect_n it_o serve_v now_o in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o so_o holy_a a_o use_n therefore_o i_o call_v it_o a_o holy_a seal_n this_o be_v not_o my_o word_n it_o be_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 4.11_o where_o he_o give_v the_o sacrament_n the_o same_o name_n and_o call_v it_o a_o seal_n and_o further_o if_o the_o wisdom_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o apostle_n have_v be_v follow_v and_o if_o man_n have_v not_o invent_v new_a name_n of_o their_o own_o for_o this_o sacrament_n but_o have_v content_v &_o satisfy_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n which_o god_n have_v give_v by_o his_o

but_o where_o man_n will_v go_v about_o to_o be_v wise_a than_o god_n and_o go_v beyond_o god_n in_o devise_v name_n which_o he_o never_o give_v upon_o man_n own_o invention_n such_o debate_n have_v fall_v out_o a_o lesson_n by_o the_o way_n that_o no_o flesh_n presume_v to_o be_v wise_a than_o god_n but_o let_v they_o stoop_v &_o keep_v the_o name_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o this_o sacrament_n three_o i_o say_v annex_v to_o the_o covenant_n covenant_n annex_v and_o hang_v to_o the_o charter_n because_o it_o can_v be_v call_v a_o seal_n proper_o except_o it_o be_v hang_v to_o a_o evidence_n what_o it_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o same_o it_o remain_v and_o no_o more_o if_o it_o be_v not_o annex_v to_o some_o evidence_n it_o be_v only_o the_o hang_n of_o it_o to_o the_o evidence_n that_o make_v man_n account_v it_o a_o seal_n not_o be_v esteem_v except_o it_o be_v hang_v to_o the_o evidence_n even_o so_o it_o be_v here_o if_o this_o sacrament_n be_v not_o minister_v and_o join_v to_o the_o preach_v word_n to_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n it_o can_v be_v a_o seal_n but_o what_o it_o be_v by_o nature_n it_o be_v no_o more_o as_o by_o nature_n it_o be_v but_o a_o common_a piece_n of_o bread_n so_o it_o be_v no_o more_o if_o it_o be_v not_o annex_v to_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o minister_v therewith_o as_o christ_n have_v command_v therefore_o i_o say_v the_o seal_n must_v be_v annex_v and_o hang_v to_o the_o evidence_n to_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n for_o the_o confirm_v of_o the_o evidence_n otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o a_o seal_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o evidence_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o you_o know_v any_o evidence_n will_v make_v faith_n though_o it_o want_v a_o seal_n and_o it_o will_v serve_v to_o make_v a_o right_a if_o it_o be_v subscribe_v without_o a_o seal_n but_o the_o seal_n without_o the_o evidence_n avail_v nothing_o even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n though_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o annex_v to_o the_o word_n yet_o the_o word_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n it_o serve_v we_o to_o get_v christ_n it_o serve_v to_o engender_v and_o beget_v faith_n in_o we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o faith_n but_o the_o seal_n without_o the_o word_n can_v serve_v we_o to_o no_o holy_a use_n therefore_o i_o say_v the_o seal_n must_v be_v annex_v to_o the_o word_n preach_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n now_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o definition_n reason_n that_o this_o seal_n must_v be_v minister_v public_o wherefore_o say_v i_o public_o to_o exclude_v all_o private_a administration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n for_o if_o this_o sacrament_n be_v administer_v to_o any_o private_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n why_o because_o the_o apostle_n call_v this_o sacrament_n a_o communion_n therefore_o if_o you_o administer_v it_o private_o you_o lose_v the_o sacrament_n for_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n therefore_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v by_o way_n of_o communication_n and_o so_o the_o action_n must_v be_v public_o minister_v second_o this_o sacrament_n must_v be_v public_o minister_v because_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o this_o sacrament_n reason_n be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o pertain_v to_o one_o man_n
whether_o god_n angel_n or_o man_n second_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o make_v they_o holy_a by_o what_o mean_n and_o way_n he_o make_v they_o holy_a and_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o two_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o consideration_n and_o right_n view_v of_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o element_n for_o the_o first_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v only_o he_o that_o may_v make_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v common_a to_o be_v holy_a so_o we_o say_v that_o god_n by_o his_o will_n and_o ordinance_n declare_v and_o set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n have_v make_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v common_a by_o his_o appointment_n to_o be_v holy_a as_o for_o the_o way_n and_o mean_n whereby_o they_o be_v make_v holy_a it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o institution_n of_o christ_n the_o will_n of_o christ_n declare_v in_o his_o institution_n that_o make_v they_o holy_a for_o the_o preach_n and_o open_v of_o the_o word_n &_o institution_n of_o christ_n le_fw-fr we_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v make_v these_o thing_n holy_a and_o not_o only_o that_o he_o have_v make_v they_o holy_a but_o let_v we_o see_v a_o holy_a manner_n how_o they_o shall_v be_v use_v in_o what_o place_n at_o what_o time_n with_o what_o heart_n and_o to_o what_o end_n so_o it_o be_v the_o will_n christ_n declare_v in_o his_o institution_n whereby_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v common_a before_o be_v now_o make_v holy_a there_o be_v two_o other_o thing_n also_o which_o make_v the_o same_o element_n holy_a and_o these_o two_o be_v use_v in_o this_o institution_n there_o be_v prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n which_o make_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n holy_a to_o our_o use_n whereas_o otherwise_o if_o we_o receive_v the_o good_a creature_n of_o god_n like_a dog_n and_o thank_v he_o not_o for_o they_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a token_n that_o they_o be_v never_o sanctify_v to_o our_o use_n by_o prayer_n we_o obtain_v grace_n and_o strength_n from_o god_n to_o use_v the_o creature_n and_o this_o whole_a action_n holy_o and_o lawful_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o therefore_o not_o only_o in_o this_o holy_a action_n shall_v we_o begin_v with_o god_n &_o with_o invocation_n of_o his_o name_n but_o in_o all_o action_n in_o the_o world_n we_o begin_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o prayer_n and_o thansgiving_n conjoin_v with_o the_o element_n do_v make_v they_o holy_a all_o these_o three_o contain_v in_o the_o action_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n make_v the_o seal_n holy_a for_o beside_o the_o will_n of_o god_n declare_v in_o the_o institution_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o use_v invocation_n and_o in_o this_o invocation_n we_o use_v thanksgiving_n the_o element_n be_v not_o make_v holy_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o but_o by_o the_o use_n of_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n which_o three_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n whereby_o these_o thing_n be_v sanctify_v now_o to_o express_v and_o lay_v forth_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o element_n other_o the_o evangelist_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n use_v indifferent_o the_o word_n to_o bless_v and_o to_o give_v thanks_n and_o common_o they_o put_v the_o one_o for_o the_o other_o for_o you_o may_v see_v that_o mark_n and_o paul_n use_v the_o word_n bless_v matthew_n and_o luke_n use_v the_o word_n to_o give_v thanks_n and_o all_o in_o one_o signification_n and_o mark_v himself_o in_o the_o 14._o of_o his_o gospel_n 22._o verse_n speak_v of_o the_o same_o action_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n use_v the_o the_o word_n to_o bless_v and_o in_o the_o 23._o verse_n he_o use_v the_o word_n â—o_o give_v thanks_n and_o both_o in_o one_o signification_n to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n christ_n himself_o and_o the_o evangelist_n use_v the_o word_n to_o bless_v and_o to_o give_v thanks_n indifferent_o to_o signify_v the_o sanctification_n and_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n except_o you_o take_v the_o one_o for_o the_o other_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o gather_v any_o good_a meaning_n out_o of_o the_o apostle_n word_n for_o i_o remember_v the_o apostle_n 1._o corinthian_n 10.16_o say_v the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v what_o be_v that_o i_o take_v the_o word_n to_o signify_v as_o i_o have_v say_v which_o we_o bless_v that_o be_v which_o we_o sanctify_v and_o prepare_v by_o blessing_n so_o to_o bless_v and_o to_o give_v thanks_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n signify_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o sanctify_v otherwise_o if_o you_o take_v the_o word_n in_o another_o signification_n you_o shall_v fall_v into_o a_o error_n and_o why_o god_n be_v say_v to_o bless_v and_o man_n be_v say_v to_o bless_v god_n be_v say_v to_o bless_v when_o he_o give_v good_a thing_n unto_o his_o creature_n for_o god_n blessing_n be_v ever_o effectual_a and_o therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o bless_v when_o he_o give_v good_a thing_n man_n again_o be_v say_v to_o bless_v either_o private_o or_o public_o when_o he_o crave_v blessing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o any_o man_n when_o he_o bless_v in_o the_o name_n and_o at_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n any_o person_n or_o people_n now_o if_o you_o ascribe_v blessing_n in_o any_o of_o these_o two_o signification_n to_o the_o cup_n it_o be_v amiss_o for_o we_o use_v neither_o to_o crave_v a_o blessing_n to_o insensible_a element_n nor_o yet_o to_o bless_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o god_n use_v to_o give_v good_a thing_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o not_o to_o insensible_a creature_n therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o

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

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 either_o nature_n or_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 â—he_v argument_n be_v not_o formal_a yet_o to_o be_v short_a i_o deny_v theiâ—_n assumption_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 &_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

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

of_o their_o work_n that_o christ_n jesus_n first_o of_o all_o observe_v that_o form_n which_o they_o use_v in_o their_o mass_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o apostle_n and_o to_o their_o successor_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a 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 christ_n which_o be_v local_o

i_o beseech_v they_o see_v that_o reason_n fail_v they_o that_o they_o fight_v not_o against_o god_n for_o maintenance_n of_o a_o lie_n how_o old_a soever_o it_o be_v for_o the_o devil_n be_v old_a

papist_n now_o the_o last_o part_n of_o our_o difference_n be_v this_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v to_o who_o the_o word_n ought_v to_o be_v direct_v and_o pronounce_v for_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n differ_v in_o this_o last_o point_n we_o say_v that_o the_o word_n ought_v to_o be_v direct_v and_o pronounce_v unto_o the_o people_n to_o the_o faithful_a communicant_n they_o on_o the_o contrary_n say_v that_o the_o word_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v direct_v nor_o pronounce_v to_o the_o people_n but_o to_o the_o element_n and_o not_o to_o be_v clear_o pronounce_v but_o whisper_v on_o the_o element_n so_o that_o if_o they_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o people_n or_o speak_v open_o their_o charm_n avail_v not_o now_o i_o say_v that_o as_o this_o holy_a action_n be_v pervert_v by_o they_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o they_o pervert_v it_o in_o this_o point_n also_o in_o speak_v that_o to_o the_o dumb_a element_n which_o they_o shall_v speak_v to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o i_o 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 ought_v 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 and_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 and_o woman_n therefore_o these_o promise_n shall_v be_v direct_v to_o faithful_a man_n and_o woman_n now_o here_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n and_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 bread_n or_o any_o dumb_a element_n there_o be_v no_o man_n will_v enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o his_o servant_n much_o less_o will_v enter_v inter_fw-la covenant_n with_o a_o dumb_a element_n so_o in_o respect_n this_o sacrament_n seal_v up_o a_o covenant_n this_o covenant_n of_o necessity_n must_v be_v make_v with_o a_o faithful_a soul_n and_o in_o no_o wise_a with_o the_o dumb_a element_n and_o therefore_o these_o word_n can_v be_v direct_v to_o the_o element_n three_o look_v to_o the_o end_n wherefore_o this_o sacrament_n be_v appoint_v be_v it_o not_o to_o lead_v we_o to_o christ_n be_v it_o not_o to_o nourish_v my_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v it_o not_o to_o nourish_v i_o in_o a_o constant_a persuasion_n of_o the_o lord_n mercy_n in_o christ_n be_v this_o sacrament_n appoint_v to_o make_v the_o element_n god_n no_o for_o if_o you_o mark_v god_n purpose_n in_o this_o institution_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o ordain_v this_o institution_n to_o nobilitate_v the_o element_n to_o favour_n &_o respect_v the_o element_n which_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n yesterday_o to_o be_v god_n to_o day_n we_o on_o the_o contrary_n say_v plain_o that_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n respect_v not_o the_o element_n to_o alter_v their_o nature_n indeed_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o alter_v we_o to_o change_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o more_o and_o more_o spiritual_a and_o to_o sanctify_v the_o element_n to_o our_o use_n but_o the_o special_a end_n be_v this_o to_o make_v we_o holy_a and_o more_o and_o more_o â—o_o grow_v up_o in_o a_o sure_a faith_n in_o christ_n &_o not_o to_o alter_v the_o element_n nor_o to_o make_v they_o god_n and_o therefore_o by_o all_o these_o three_o argument_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o word_n ought_v nor_o to_o be_v direct_v to_o the_o element_n but_o to_o the_o people_n and_o faithful_a communicant_n now_o to_o come_v to_o a_o end_n exhortation_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n without_o the_o which_o we_o can_v profit_v let_v we_o discourse_v never_o so_o long_o upon_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o sacrament_n you_o see_v now_o how_o all_o that_o be_v speak_v concern_v the_o sacrament_n be_v ground_v and_o depend_v upon_o faith_n let_v a_o man_n have_v faith_n be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a he_o shall_v get_v some_o hold_n of_o christ_n and_o some_o insight_n in_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o sacrament_n but_o want_v faith_n though_o a_o man_n endeavour_n himself_o to_o make_v the_o sacrament_n never_o so_o sensible_a it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o he_o can_v get_v any_o hold_n of_o christ_n or_o any_o insight_n of_o he_o for_o without_o faith_n we_o can_v be_v christian_n we_o can_v neither_o get_v a_o sight_n of_o god_n nor_o feel_v god_n in_o christ_n without_o faith_n faith_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o translate_v our_o soul_n out_o of_o that_o death_n and_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v and_o plant_v life_n in_o us._n so_o the_o whole_a study_n and_o endeavour_n of_o a_o christian_a shall_v tend_v to_o this_o to_o crave_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o mercy_n will_v illuminate_v his_o mind_n with_o the_o eye_n of_o

there_o be_v great_a comfort_n in_o the_o 4._o and_o 7._o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n he_o say_v to_o the_o church_n i_o be_o not_o say_v he_o in_o fury_n i_o be_o not_o in_o rage_n suppose_v i_o

second_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v to_o learn_v here_o be_v this_o lesson_n you_o see_v king_n may_v have_v the_o plague_n there_o be_v no_o prince_n in_o the_o earth_n exempt_v from_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n when_o he_o please_v to_o apply_v they_o thus_o far_o for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o disease_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o be_v note_v here_o be_v the_o time_n when_o the_o king_n fall_v into_o this_o disease_n disease_n there_o be_v no_o certain_a time_n set_v down_o here_o but_o the_o time_n specify_v be_v relative_a to_o the_o last_o history_n it_o be_v relative_a to_o that_o time_n when_o the_o king_n of_o ashur_n take_v arm_n against_o he_o which_o be_v the_o 13._o year_n of_o his_o reign_n so_o it_o be_v the_o 14._o year_n of_o his_o reign_n that_o he_o

after_o the_o siege_n or_o during_o the_o same_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o learned_a differ_v although_o in_o 2._o chron._n 32._o chap._n it_o appear_v that_o he_o fall_v into_o this_o disease_n after_o the_o siege_n and_o time_n of_o his_o delivery_n for_o we_o read_v in_o that_o history_n that_o the_o king_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n of_o this_o siege_n be_v build_v up_o the_o ruinous_a

dispose_v king_n and_o there_o be_v no_o argument_n of_o infirmity_n here_o so_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v after_o the_o siege_n that_o he_o fall_v into_o this_o disease_n observation_n now_o take_v heed_n where_o my_o note_n rise_v he_o be_v scarce_o free_v from_o the_o fearful_a war_n when_o he_o fall_v into_o a_o terrible_a plague_n doctrine_n we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o best_a prince_n be_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o continual_a tentation_n grief_n and_o vexation_n so_o that_o the_o issue_n of_o one_o trouble_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o another_o so_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o exercise_v they_o and_o to_o what_o end_n i_o pray_v you_o to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o life_n with_o the_o pleasure_n and_o glory_n of_o it_o may_v become_v bitter_a to_o their_o taste_n and_o so_o they_o may_v be_v move_v to_o seek_v for_o a_o better_a and_o this_o lesson_n appertain_v to_o all_o christian_n for_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n thou_o must_v look_v for_o trouble_n of_o necessity_n thou_o must_v take_v up_o thy_o daily_a cross_n and_o follow_v christ._n as_o for_o the_o feed_v carcase_n of_o this_o world_n the_o lord_n in_o his_o righteous_a judgement_n have_v appoint_v they_o for_o slaughter_n but_o if_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o they_o who_o he_o have_v not_o appoint_v for_o slaughter_n thou_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o a_o continual_a exercise_n either_o in_o soul_n or_o in_o body_n in_o family_n or_o fame_n one_o way_n or_o other_o thou_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o a_o continual_a exercise_n for_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o pierce_v the_o cloud_n but_o by_o a_o continual_a tribulation_n and_o see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o become_v we_o not_o to_o have_v our_o heart_n here_o gruntle_a upon_o this_o earth_n but_o it_o become_v we_o to_o have_v our_o heart_n hoiss_v and_o our_o mind_n lift_v up_o to_o the_o heaven_n where_o our_o master_n reign_v in_o glory_n and_o to_o use_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n

the_o prophet_n show_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o disease_n whereas_o he_o say_v he_o be_v sick_a even_o to_o the_o death_n second_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o disease_n be_v aggravate_v while_o

the_o weight_n of_o the_o disease_n now_o in_o this_o extremity_n the_o prophet_n visit_v he_o he_o and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n enjoin_v he_o two_o thing_n first_o to_o take_v order_n with_o his_o house_n next_o to_o prepare_v he_o for_o death_n and_o to_o pull_v his_o heart_n the_o more_o from_o all_o present_a thing_n and_o all_o earthly_a comfort_n assure_v he_o of_o death_n short_o and_o for_o his_o further_a assurance_n he_o double_v the_o word_n say_v thou_o shall_v die_v and_o not_o live_v it_o be_v so_o hard_a a_o thing_n to_o have_v the_o heart_n of_o king_n pull_v from_o their_o wealth_n and_o from_o their_o glory_n the_o prophet_n in_o visit_v of_o the_o king_n brethren_n learn_v we_o a_o point_n of_o duty_n towards_o our_o disease_a brethren_n a_o point_n whereunto_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o nature_n by_o charity_n and_o by_o all_o sort_n of_o law_n but_o chief_o we_o who_o have_v the_o care_n of_o soul_n and_o represent_v isaiah_n in_o our_o office_n at_o this_o time_n chief_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o visit_v our_o brethren_n for_o at_o such_o time_n the_o devil_n be_v most_o busy_a the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v abstract_v from_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o preach_v word_n and_o old_a sin_n begin_v to_o revive_v and_o return_v to_o their_o memory_n and_o therefore_o at_o that_o time_n there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o comfort_n we_o be_v also_o

all_o that_o we_o bid_v the_o patient_n take_v order_n with_o his_o house_n that_o be_v make_v his_o testament_n and_o lay_v aside_o the_o worldly_a part_n that_o so_o his_o heart_n may_v be_v ready_a to_o go_v when_o the_o lord_n call_v on_o his_o soul_n the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o negligent_a in_o this_o point_n of_o duty_n that_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o have_v their_o heart_n free_a when_o the_o lord_n knock_v but_o they_o be_v compel_v to_o leave_v their_o heart_n behind_o they_o where_o their_o treasure_n be_v or_o where_o they_o love_v best_a and_o that_o because_o they_o set_v themselves_o here_o as_o in_o a_o permanent_a city_n and_o in_o their_o life_n time_n they_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o once_o think_v of_o death_n but_o dream_n to_o themselves_o length_n of_o day_n and_o which_o i_o wonder_v most_o of_o there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n about_o they_o that_o will_v do_v so_o much_o as_o once_o to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o

they_o can_v for_o tear_n and_o sorrow_n the_o doctor_n say_v nature_n be_v strong_a enough_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n so_o that_o if_o the_o pastor_n leave_v this_o point_n of_o duty_n there_o be_v not_o a_o friend_n almost_o that_o begin_v to_o admonish_v a_o man_n until_o his_o outward_a sense_n begin_v to_o leave_v he_o now_o as_o it_o become_v the_o pastor_n to_o propound_v this_o so_o it_o become_v the_o patient_n to_o obey_v it_o for_o this_o command_n be_v not_o give_v by_o man_n but_o by_o god_n for_o isaiah_n give_v it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o
