partake_v of_o these_o visible_a thing_n you_o shall_v true_o communicate_v of_o that_o which_o be_v signify_v unto_o you_o and_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o christ_n must_v have_v do_v as_o flatterer_n that_o go_v about_o to_o persuade_v any_o man_n use_v many_o word_n and_o argument_n but_o there_o be_v no_o force_n many_o time_n in_o their_o speech_n as_o common_o it_o happen_v to_o those_o that_o be_v desirous_a to_o make_v other_o believe_v something_o they_o have_v copy_n of_o word_n but_o little_a matter_n contrariwise_o serious_a and_o grave_a thing_n do_v require_v ordinary_o few_o word_n but_o very_o significant_a and_o full_a of_o force_n and_o majesty_n we_o see_v for_o the_o most_o part_n that_o king_n and_o prince_n speak_v of_o any_o matter_n of_o importance_n to_o they_o that_o be_v about_o they_o oftentimes_o they_o use_v but_o one_o word_n which_o they_o do_v print_n in_o their_o mind_n as_o though_o it_o be_v some_o oracle_n from_o heaven_n they_o do_v ponder_v and_o imagine_v to_o find_v out_o that_o which_o he_o will_v say_v that_o if_o they_o use_v many_o word_n they_o will_v not_o so_o easy_o be_v carry_v away_o and_o they_o which_o hear_v they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o attentive_a to_o consider_v they_o namely_o this_o be_v perceive_v in_o great_a man_n when_o as_o they_o make_v promise_n to_o their_o familiar_n for_o be_v so_o make_v in_o few_o word_n they_o have_v more_o grace_n and_o weight_n so_o jesus_n christ_n in_o this_o place_n speak_v to_o his_o disciple_n to_o communicate_v with_o they_o his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a importance_n he_o speak_v in_o few_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o my_o blood_n that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o signify_v my_o

what_o their_o master_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n for_o when_o he_o speak_v these_o word_n unto_o they_o they_o be_v a_o long_a time_n at_o the_o table_n eat_v and_o drink_v with_o he_o &_o he_o never_o speak_v any_o such_o thing_n so_o that_o they_o may_v conclude_v with_o themselves_o that_o by_o these_o word_n he_o will_v signify_v some_o great_a matter_n so_o that_o this_o thing_n be_v well_o consider_v his_o disciple_n may_v be_v the_o more_o waken_v by_o these_o few_o word_n full_a of_o weight_n and_o majesty_n diligent_o to_o ponder_v they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v use_v many_o word_n although_o already_o this_o matter_n be_v sufficient_o manifest_v yet_o we_o will_v make_v it_o more_o evident_a by_o these_o reason_n follow_v first_o that_o spirit_n of_o

thing_n signify_v and_o invisible_a unto_o the_o exterior_a sign_n as_o we_o read_v in_o genesis_n 17_o gen._n 17_o that_o god_n be_v willing_a to_o assure_v abraham_n &_o his_o posterity_n that_o circumcision_n be_v a_o certain_a sign_n unto_o they_o that_o he_o have_v receive_v they_o into_o his_o covenant_n he_o call_v circumcision_n his_o covenant_n 12._o exod._n 12._o in_o few_o word_n the_o like_a say_v moses_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n call_v it_o the_o lord_n passover_o for_o to_o signify_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v assure_v of_o the_o continual_a favour_n of_o god_n have_v give_v they_o a_o taste_n of_o his_o incomprehensible_a bounty_n when_o he_o send_v his_o destroy_a angel_n who_o slay_v all_o the_o first_o bear_v as_o well_o of_o man_n as_o of_o beast_n in_o all_o the_o house_n of_o egypt_n and_o pass_v over_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n without_o do_v they_o any_o hurt_n whereof_o that_o ceremony_n of_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n be_v to_o they_o a_o sacrament_n to_o these_o kind_n of_o speak_v we_o may_v join_v that_o which_o s._n paul_n use_v 10_o 2_o cor._n 10_o where_o he_o say_v that_o our_o father_n have_v eat_v the_o same_o meat_n and_o drink_v the_o same_o drink_n in_o the_o wilderness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v because_o that_o the_o rock_n out_o of_o which_o issue_v the_o water_n which_o they_o drink_v be_v christ_n for_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v altogether_o like_o this_o but_o let_v we_o diligent_o observe_v that_o this_o manner_n of_o speak_v this_o be_v my_o body_n whereof_o here_o question_n be_v make_v be_v likewise_o so_o use_v in_o our_o common_a tongue_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o king_n show_v favour_n unto_o a_o male_a factor_n give_v unto_o he_o the_o letter_n of_o his_o favour_n seal_v with_o his_o own_o seal_n it_o be_v say_v common_o to_o the_o malefactor_n behold_v thy_o pardon_n &_o yet_o nevertheless_o those_o letter_n which_o be_v give_v he_o be_v not_o his_o pardon_n but_o a_o certain_a &_o infallible_a sign_n of_o his_o pardon_n so_o in_o this_o sacrament_n we_o see_v the_o like_a for_o they_o be_v call_v seal_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o saint_n paul_n do_v bear_v witness_n of_o circumcision_n 4_o rom._n 4_o which_o he_o call_v to_o the_o roman_n the_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n it_o seem_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o use_v any_o plain_a kind_n of_o speech_n to_o understand_v christ_n meaning_n without_o any_o conceit_n of_o carnal_a eat_n and_o human_a drink_n as_o though_o we_o be_v devourer_n of_o man_n like_o those_o kind_n of_o people_n call_v anthropophagi_n and_o cyclopes_n but_o we_o may_v cause_v a_o great_a light_n to_o shine_v to_o ourselves_o when_o we_o be_v certain_o assure_v that_o we_o do_v partake_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o say_v which_o be_v the_o proper_a instrument_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o eat_v his_o body_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n that_o be_v that_o we_o constant_o believe_v that_o we_o communicate_v true_o with_o his_o body_n and_o that_o our_o conscience_n be_v thereof_o so_o well_o assure_v supper_n the_o mean_v how_o we_o do_v partake_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o supper_n that_o we_o need_v not_o to_o doubt_v therefore_o one_o of_o the_o father_n have_v say_v that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n that_o we_o must_v not_o prepare_v our_o tooth_n nor_o our_o mouth_n but_z that_o we_o must_v believe_v &_o they_o we_o have_v eat_v jesus_n chr_v &_o for_o this_o

we_o do_v embrace_v he_o and_o be_v unite_v unto_o he_o and_o even_o as_o when_o we_o see_v any_o thing_n with_o our_o eye_n that_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o we_o see_v it_o when_o we_o hold_v any_o thing_n in_o our_o hand_n we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o we_o hold_v it_o when_o we_o eat_v any_o meat_n &_o drink_v any_o drink_n we_o feel_v the_o same_o in_o our_o mouth_n &_o in_o our_o taste_n so_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v assure_v that_o we_o do_v communicate_v with_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n &_o with_o his_o blood_n yea_o we_o may_v say_v we_o be_v more_o certain_a thereof_o because_o our_o outward_a sense_n be_v oftentimes_o deceive_v the_o eye_n think_v to_o see_v a_o thing_n the_o which_o it_o see_v not_o or_o it_o be_v some_o other_o thing_n they_o the_o eye_n take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o ear_n take_v one_o sound_a for_o another_o that_o palyet_n swallow_v down_o some_o meat_n although_o it_o be_v somewhat_o bitter_a &_o find_v it_o to_o be_v sweet_a if_o it_o be_v good_a and_o wholesome_a it_o think_v it_o to_o be_v evil_a if_o it_o be_v venomous_a it_o do_v not_o perceive_v it_o &_o so_o it_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o other_o sense_n which_o be_v deceive_v in_o every_o
