6_o the_o ch_n 8_o the_o v_o have_v in_o the_o former_a vers_n tell_v timothy_n that_o we_o bring_v nothing_o into_o this_o world_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a we_o can_v carry_v nothing_o out_o and_o

compel_v the_o nation_n to_o pay_v you_o it_o be_v not_o from_o christ_n command_n nor_o the_o apostle_n nor_o from_o any_o of_o their_o example_n neither_o apostle_n bishop_n pastor_n nor_o teacher_n you_o be_v without_o warrant_n from_o the_o scripture_n you_o have_v neither_o precept_n nor_o precedent_n for_o your_o practice_n either_o as_o in_o respect_n to_o your_o great_a revenue_n that_o

their_o reject_v but_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n but_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v you_o though_o you_o pretend_v to_o be_v spiritual_a man_n yet_o it_o plain_o appear_v you_o be_v for_o your_o carnal_a end_n you_o can_v trust_v yourselves_o under_o christ_n care_n to_o live_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o what_o that_o free_o produce_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n as_o christ_n minister_n do_v and_o you_o may_v see_v what_o they_o answer_v when_o he_o question_v they_o as_o in_o luk._n 22._o 35._o and_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o when_o i_o send_v you_o without_o

that_o which_o thou_o call_v baptism_n by_o which_o thou_o say_v people_n be_v admit_v into_o the_o christian_a church_n viz._n sprinkle_v infant_n we_o deny_v that_o you_o have_v any_o authority_n

of_o the_o lord_n supper_n by_o which_o they_o be_v strengthen_v and_o preserve_v in_o it_o ans._n let_v all_o that_o be_v wise_a in_o heart_n consider_v whether_o that_o which_o thou_o call_v a_o

he_o say_v both_o of_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o cup_n the_o one_o be_v his_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o we_o the_o other_o be_v the_o cup_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o we_o which_o word_n import_v that_o his_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o we_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o that_o unleavened_a typical_a bread_n and_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v be_v the_o substance_n of_o that_o cup_n not_o that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n for_o that_o be_v but_o typical_a though_o some_o do_v ignorant_o imagine_v that_o ho_o mean_v the_o outward_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v his_o real_a body_n and_o blood_n as_o the_o jew_n think_v he_o have_v mean_v the_o temple_n make_v with_o hand_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o temple_n of_o his_o body_n for_o we_o read_v that_o when_o the_o passover_n be_v institute_v they_o be_v to_o have_v a_o lamb_n without_o blemish_n and_o unleavened_a bread_n and_o the_o

that_o nourish_v the_o soul_n to_o life_n eternal_a and_o his_o blood_n sprinkle_v the_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_n god._n this_o be_v that_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o be_v break_v for_o we_o and_o shed_v for_o we_o and_o we_o think_v by_o thy_o write_n thou_o be_v not_o of_o the_o papist_n mind_n for_o the_o real_a presence_n and_o if_o not_o then_o consider_v what_o that_o bread_n and_o drink_n be_v that_o be_v break_v and_o shed_v for_o we_o which_o he_o speak_v of_o though_o he_o be_v then_o eat_v the_o passover_n with_o his_o disciple_n and_o then_o come_v on_o and_o see_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o mystery_n of_o it_o which_o be_v that_o which_o he_o prefer_v in_o the_o church_n at_o corinth_n 1_o cor._n 10._o there_o he_o tell_v they_o of_o the_o father_n viz._n the_o church_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o say_v they_o do_v all_o eat_v of_o the_o same_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o do_v all_o drink_n of_o the_o same_o spritual_a drink_n for_o they_o drink_v of_o that_o spiritual_a rock_n that_o follow_v they_o and_o that_o rock_n be_v christ._n so_o here_o thou_o may_v see_v the_o meat_n be_v
