of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n let_v we_o now_o proceed_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n &_o first_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v the_o special_a use_n of_o it_o child_n first_o it_o serve_v to_o seal_v unto_o our_o conscience_n all_o the_o promise_v make_v in_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n whatsoever_o &_o therefore_o there_o be_v the_o same_o use_n of_o it_o that_o be_v of_o a_o seal_n which_o be_v to_o confirm_v and_o ratify_v a_o writing_n for_o in_o outward_a thing_n man_n like_v well_o of_o a_o promise_n but_o better_a of_o a_o writing_n &_o best_a of_o all_o of_o a_o seal_n now_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n be_v as_o it_o be_v y_z e_z king_n broad_a seal_n set_v to_o his_o general_n &_o free_a pardon_n for_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o open_a proclamation_n of_o pardon_n to_o all_o penitent_a sinner_n &_o this_o sacrament_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o king_n pardon_v to_o ratify_v &_o confirm_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o a_o word_n or_o promise_n must_v necessary_o go_v before_o the_o sacrament_n which_o it_o do_v seal_v &_o confirm_v unto_o we_o &_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n without_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n go_v before_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o seal_n to_o a_o blank_a second_o the_o sacrament_n of_o y_z e_z lord_n supper_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o second_o seal_v set_v by_o the_o lord_n own_o hand_n unto_o the_o former_a covenant_n make_v in_o baptism_n which_o be_v renew_a in_o the_o lord_n supper_n betwixt_o y_o e_o lord_n himself_o &_o the_o faithful_a receiver_n and_o that_o by_o the_o outward_a action_n of_o eat_a bread_n drink_v wine_n etc._n etc._n three_o the_o lord_n supper_n serve_v to_o represent_v unto_o we_o our_o continual_a feed_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o as_o by_o baptism_n we_o be_v once_o admit_v into_o the_o household_n of_o god_n so_o by_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v signify_v a_o daily_a feed_n in_o the_o same_o upon_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o promise_v make_v in_o he_o &_o also_o upon_o the_o word_n which_o be_v our_o most_o sweet_a &_o heavenly_a manna_n father_n which_o be_v the_o outward_a sign_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n child_n bread_n and_o wine_n father_n which_o be_v the_o inward_a thing_n signify_v child_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n father_n how_o receive_v you_o the_o outward_a sign_n child_n i_o receive_v they_o with_o my_o hand_n eat_v they_o with_o my_o mouth_n &_o digest_v they_o with_o my_o stomach_n father_n how_o do_v you_o receive_v the_o inward_a thing_n signify_v child_n only_o by_o faith_n and_o feed_v of_o it_o as_o of_o a_o food_n give_v i_o to_o life_n everlasting_a father_n be_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n then_o change_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n child_n no_o for_o that_o be_v to_o destroy_v y_z e_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n which_o must_v consist_v both_o of_o heavenly_a &_o earthly_a matter_n therefore_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n remain_v still_o in_o their_o own_o form_n nature_n &_o substance_n but_o christ_n natural_a body_n be_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o the_o papist_n will_v make_v we_o believe_v the_o moon_n be_v make_v of_o a_o green_a thief_n when_o they_o bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o bread_n be_v change_v into_o flesh_n and_o wine_n into_o blood_n and_o christ_n natural_a body_n be_v real_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v it_o quite_o contrary_a with_o our_o eye_n and_o a_o child_n may_v discern_v that_o it_o be_v neither_o so_o nor_o so_o father_n be_v there_o then_o no_o difference_n beetwixt_n bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n &_o common_a bread_n and_o wine_n child_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n either_o in_o substance_n or_o form_n but_o only_o in_o the_o use_n &_o end_n whereunto_o they_o be_v apply_v which_o be_v to_o represent_v &_o signify_v holy_a thing_n for_o whereas_o before_o they_o be_v common_a meat_n now_o they_o be_v holy_a sign_n and_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o they_o signify_v otherwise_o out_o of_o this_o action_n they_o be_v the_o same_o with_o common_a bread_n father_n you_o say_v even_o now_o that_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n and_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n be_v receive_v of_o we_o by_o faith_n tell_v i_o therefore_o whether_o a_o wicked_a &_o unfaithful_a man_n can_v receive_v they_o child_n he_o can_v for_o if_o they_o be_v receive_v only_o by_o faith_n how_o shall_v he_o receive_v they_o that_o have_v no_o faith_n the_o unbeléever_v therefore_o may_v receive_v the_o outward_a sign_n that_o be_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o well_o as_o other_o as_o do_v judas_n but_o the_o inward_a thing_n signify_v which_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o passion_n none_o can_v receive_v but_o only_o the_o elect_a father_n if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o all_o that_o receive_v the_o shell_n do_v not_o receive_v the_o kernel_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o grace_n be_v not_o necessary_o tie_v to_o the_o outward_a sign_n or_o sacrament_n child_n true_a indeed_o for_o otherwise_o the_o faithless_a shall_v gain_v as_o much_o by_o the_o sacrament_n as_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v most_o absurd_a but_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o salvation_n be_v not_o tie_v nor_o shut_v up_o within_o the_o sacrament_n neither_o do_v they_o give_v grace_n but_o only_o testify_v and_o assure_v that_o grace_n be_v give_v as_o seal_v evidence_n do_v give_v no_o land_n which_o be_v otherwise_o attain_a as_o by_o inheritance_n friendship_n and_o money_n but_o only_o testify_v that_o they_o be_v give_v and_o assure_v the_o quiet_a possession_n and_o enjoy_n thereof_o father_n why_o do_v god_n choose_v these_o creature_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o represent_v unto_o we_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o earthly_a creature_n child_n because_o there_o be_v none_o other_o earthly_a creature_n that_o can_v so_o fit_o represent_v unto_o our_o outward_a sense_n those_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v have_v we_o learn_v by_o this_o sacrament_n father_n what_o be_v those_o thing_n that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o learn_v by_o this_o sacrament_n child_n by_o the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n we_o have_v to_o learn_v the_o break_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o by_o pour_v forth_o of_o the_o wine_n the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o by_o the_o distribute_v to_o all_o that_o be_v present_a christ_n communicate_v himself_o to_o all_o that_o will_v faithful_o receive_v he_o by_o eat_v and_o drink_v we_o learn_v that_o as_o bread_n &_o wine_n do_v nourish_v our_o body_n in_o this_o life_n so_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n do_v nourish_v our_o soul_n to_o life_n everlasting_a and_o as_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n by_o digestion_n pass_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o our_o body_n even_o so_o by_o faith_n christ_n and_o we_o be_v unite_v with_o a_o unspeakable_a union_n and_o we_o make_v flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o this_o be_v the_o proportion_n and_o analogy_n betwixt_o the_o sign_n &_o the_o thing_n signify_v for_o if_o the_o sacrament_n have_v not_o a_o certain_a likeness_n of_o those_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v sacrament_n than_o be_v they_o no_o sacrament_n at_o all_o father_n what_o more_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v hereby_o child_n that_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o in_o christ_n as_o of_o many_o grain_n be_v make_v one_o loaf_n and_o of_o many_o grape_n one_o wine_n father_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o unworthy_a receiver_n be_v damn_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 11._o how_o will_v thou_o know_v whether_o thou_o be_v a_o worthy_a receiver_n or_o no_o child_n if_o i_o examine_v myself_o and_o find_v that_o i_o humble_o acknowledge_v my_o own_o

in_o christ_n then_o be_o i_o worthy_a because_o my_o unworthines_n be_v forgive_v &_o put_v out_o of_o remembrance_n father_n for_o who_o be_v the_o sacrament_n ordain_v child_n the_o sacrament_n be_v special_o ordain_v for_o those_o which_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o do_v seek_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n &_o eternal_a life_n only_o through_o his_o sacrifice_n for_o how_o can_v the_o
