that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v meditate_v and_o our_o heart_n run_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o god_n require_v it_o at_o our_o hand_n that_o we_o shall_v always_o

death_n that_o christ_n do_v suffer_v be_v right_o call_v the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o christ_n be_v man_n be_v also_o god_n and_o lord_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n of_o both_o these_o nature_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n therefore_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n be_v right_o affirm_v of_o he_o as_o be_v god_n and_o lord_n and_o thence_o we_o draw_v this_o observation_n in_o that_o it_o be_v here_o call_v the_o lord_n death_n namely_o that_o howsoever_o christ_n jesus_n be_v cruel_o and_o shameful_o crucify_v and_o

he_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o glorious_a lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o follow_v now_o that_o we_o be_v to_o go_v on_o we_o have_v speak_v hitherto_o touch_v

of_o it_o to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o so_o you_o see_v here_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o it_o respective_o unto_o this_o supper_n as_o often_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 forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v where_o by_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o look_v what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o concern_v the_o lord_n death_n the_o same_o be_v confine_v expressety_n to_o the_o reference_n of_o the_o lord_n death_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v always_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o the_o

again_o even_o in_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v meditate_v upon_o whole_a christ_n christ_n bear_v christ_n live_v christ_n die_v christ_n

know_v well_o enough_o but_o yet_o they_o submit_v themselves_o to_o those_o ordinance_n because_o they_o be_v god_n law_n but_o still_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o they_o aim_v at_o in_o all_o

of_o this_o duty_n take_v it_o so_o how_o long_o be_v it_o to_o continue_v why_o till_o he_o come_v so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n stand_v till_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n so_o then_o here_o we_o be_v now_o come_v to_o the_o last_o clause_n of_o all_o contain_v the_o continuance_n of_o this_o duty_n let_v this_o be_v do_v till_o he_o come_v till_o christ_n come_v to_o

express_o affirm_v you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v that_o this_o duty_n must_v be_v continual_o and_o must_v never_o cease_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o church_n so_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 the_o reach_n that_o we_o must_v aim_v at_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n namely_o the_o fit_a and_o the_o prepare_n of_o we_o to_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n unto_o judgement_n for_o so_o the_o very_a same_o particle_n till_o be_v use_v in_o the_o very_a same_o sense_n in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 15.25_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n must_v reign_v till_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 till_o the_o very_a end_n of_o the_o world_n second_o and_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n reign_v be_v this_o the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o the_o trample_n of_o they_o under_o his_o

and_o the_o reach_n that_o we_o must_v aim_v at_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n be_v that_o we_o be_v fit_v and_o prepare_v for_o his_o come_n we_o can_v understand_v this_o clause_n clear_o and_o full_o except_o we_o take_v it_o with_o these_o two_o explication_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o howsoever_o this_o duty_n be_v impose_v by_o name_n upon_o the_o corinthian_n only_o 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 judgement_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v keep_v this_o commandment_n till_o he_o come_v but_o the_o apostle_n impose_v upon_o the_o corinthian_n this_o duty_n for_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 clause_n of_o continue_v till_o he_o come_v though_o it_o be_v name_v only_o in_o the_o latter_a part_n yet_o in_o sense_n it_o do_v extend_v itself_o to_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n 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
