this_o mystery_n take_v and_o understand_v nothing_o according_a to_o the_o hide_a power_n that_o lie_v within_o but_o judge_v of_o the_o whole_a according_a to_o that_o which_o visible_o and_o

they_o be_v before_o consecration_n they_o be_v even_o the_o same_o afterward_o but_o they_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n before_o and_o therefore_o they_o remain_v the_o same_o which_o be_v prove_v

for_o he_o say_v christ_n be_v in_o that_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o he_o say_v not_o that_o that_o bread_n and_o that_o wine_n be_v christ_n which_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o shall_v set_v forth_o

whatsoever_o in_o that_o meat_n be_v either_o bodily_a see_v or_o bodily_a taste_v all_o that_o be_v subject_a to_o corruption_n the_o doctor_n add_v these_o word_n because_o it_o be_v the_o body_n

spiritual_a body_n it_o be_v christ_n blood_n but_o not_o his_o bodily_a blood_n but_o his_o spiritual_a blood_n wherefore_o nothing_o here_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v feel_v or_o perceive_v bodily_a but_o spiritual_o it_o be_v

know_v that_o in_o this_o fountain_n &_o wellspring_n that_o be_v one_o thing_n which_o the_o bodily_a sense_n may_v touch_v and_o perceive_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v changeable_a and_o corruptible_a and_o again_o that_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n in_o it_o which_o only_a faith_n can_v behold_v and_o that_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v corrupt_v nor_o come_v into_o danger_n of_o decay_n wherefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v demand_v what_o that_o be_v which_o outward_o wash_v the_o body_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o element_n but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v

immortality_n therefore_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n be_v in_o it_o own_o property_n a_o corruptible_a humour_n or_o liquor_n but_o in_o mystery_n and_o spiritual_a meaning_n a_o wholesome_a and_o

but_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o be_v believe_v they_o feed_v our_o immortal_a soul_n which_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o they_o themselves_o be_v also_o immortal_a the_o apostle_n write_v to_o

of_o the_o spiritual_a rock_n that_o follow_v they_o and_o that_o rock_n be_v christ_n hence_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o cloud_n both_o do_v show_v forth_o the_o kind_n and_o figure_n of_o baptism_n and_o that_o the_o father_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n be_v baptize_v in_o they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o cloud_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n can_v the_o sea_n as_o it_o be_v

air_n sanctify_v the_o people_n no_o very_o and_o yet_o we_o dare_v not_o since_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o christ_n name_n say_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o true_o when_o he_o say_v that_o our_o father_n be_v baptize_v in_o the_o cloud_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n and_o although_o that_o baptism_n do_v show_v forth_o and_o set_v out_o the_o form_n of_o christ_n baptism_n which_o at_o this_o day_n be_v use_v &_o minister_v in_o the_o church_n yet_o no_o wise_a man_n dare_v deny_v unless_o like_o a_o mad_a man_n he_o will_v presume_v to_o gainsay_v the_o apostle_n word_n but_o that_o it_o be_v baptism_n and_o that_o our_o father_n be_v therein_o and_o thereby_o baptize_v wherefore_o neither_o the_o sea_n nor_o the_o cloud_n in_o respect_n that_o they_o be_v bodily_a substance_n do_v show_v forth_o or_o give_v out_o the_o cleanness_n of_o sanctification_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o do_v invisible_o contain_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o there_o be_v in_o they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o sea_n and_o in_o the_o cloud_n both_o a_o visible_a form_n which_o appear_v to_o the_o bodily_a sense_n and_o that_o not_o in_o a_o image_n or_o show_n but_o in_o verity_n or_o truth_n &_o inward_o there_o shine_v forth_o in_o they_o a_o spiritual_a power_n which_o appear_v not_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o flesh_n but_o to_o the_o sight_n &_o light_n of_o the_o mind_n or_o soul_n in_o like_a sort_n the_o manna_n that_o be_v give_v to_o the_o people_n from_o heaven_n and_o the_o water_n also_o that_o flow_v out_o of_o the_o rock_n be_v corporal_a and_o

spiritual_a drink_n and_o why_o do_v he_o that_o because_o there_o be_v in_o these_o bodily_a substance_n a_o spiritual_a power_n of_o the_o word_n which_o do_v feed_v and_o give_v drink_n rather_o to_o the_o mind_n then_o to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o believer_n and_o though_o that_o meat_n and_o that_o drink_n do_v but_o show_v forth_o the_o mystery_n of_o that_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o
