here_o come_v in_o the_o necessity_n of_o faith_n concern_v the_o sacrament_n for_o they_o be_v both_o of_o they_o sacramenta_fw-la fi●●i_fw-la sacrament_n of_o faith_n so_o call_v by_o the_o father_n

both_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v there_o be_v a_o earthly_a thing_n which_o we_o see_v and_o feel_v with_o our_o outward_a sense_n and_o there_o be_v a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a thing_n or_o grace_n which_o we_o can_v see_v but_o by_o faith_n both_o these_o part_n be_v inseparable_o unite_v and_o can_v be_v separate_v one_o from_o another_o he_o that_o be_v right_o fit_v for_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n do_v receive_v both_o these_o part_n together_o namely_o the_o earthly_a with_o the_o heavenly_a and_o the_o heavenly_a with_o the_o earthly_a which_o be_v so_o inseparable_o conjoin_v by_o god_n in_o a_o sacramental_a union_n that_o he_o that_o go_v about_o to_o separate_v they_o must_v needs_o run_v himself_o upon_o a_o curse_n but_o as_o we_o be_v not_o to_o divide_v and_o disjoin_v one_o part_n from_o a_o other_o so_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o confound_v they_o one_o with_o another_o but_o keep_v they_o distinct_a as_o for_o example_n we_o know_v that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n there_o be_v two_o several_a nature_n viz._n the_o godhead_n and_o the_o manhood_n the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n nor_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n the_o nature_n of_o man._n the_o one_o be_v not_o turn_v into_o the_o other_o neither_o be_v they_o

death_n be_v not_o able_a to_o sunder_v or_o separate_v they_o for_o howsoever_o at_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n his_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o his_o body_n and_o his_o body_n sunder_v from_o his_o soul_n yet_o even_o when_o he_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_n both_o the_o part_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n body_n and_o soul_n be_v as_o near_o unite_v to_o his_o godhead_n as_o they_o be_v at_o his_o birth_n or_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n so_o to_o restrain_v my_o speech_n to_o the_o communion_n there_o be_v two_o distinct_a and_o several_a thing_n in_o the_o sacrament_n a_o earthly_a as_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o a_o heavenly_a sc_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o the_o bread_n neither_o be_v bread_n turn_v into_o the_o

with_o the_o other_o but_o both_o remain_v distinct_a in_o the_o same_o sacrament_n yet_o though_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o distinct_a they_o be_v so_o inseparable_o conjoin_v together_o by_o sacramental_a and_o mystical_a union_n that_o he_o that_o do_v receive_v the_o one_o right_o do_v also_o necessary_o receive_v the_o other_o and_o as_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o personal_a union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n in_o christ_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v a_o communication_n of_o property_n by_o reason_n whereof_o that_o which_o proper_o belong_v to_o one_o nature_n be_v

the_o hallow_a bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n the_o bread_n be_v true_o call_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o bread_n the_o fruit_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v the_o participation_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o one_o sentence_n of_o holy_a scripture_n which_o say_v that_o we_o can_v by_o this_o

not_o believe_v he_o still_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o faith_n and_o faith_n have_v relation_n to_o a_o word_n of_o promise_n the_o word_n of_o promise_n be_v this_o be_v my_o

body_n to_o i_o because_o god_n be_v faithful_a in_o perform_v his_o promise_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o know_v which_o way_n or_o after_o what_o manner_n he_o will_v or_o do_v perform_v it_o because_o he_o have_v not_o show_v i_o if_o i_o know_v the_o manner_n how_o god_n do_v make_v it_o his_o body_n than_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o i_o as_o matter_n rather_o of_o reason_n and_o

of_o knowledge_n than_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n moreover_o see_v these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v word_n of_o promise_n and_o see_v that_o both_o protestant_n and_o lutheran_n and_o papist_n do_v all_o agree_v that_o by_o the_o sacrament_n christ_n do_v real_o and_o true_o perform_v in_o we_o his_o promise_n what_o do_v it_o profit_v we_o to_o know_v whether_o he_o do_v it_o by_o

howsoever_o it_o stand_v therefore_o i_o advise_v you_o to_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o a_o most_o judicious_a and_o excellent_a divine_a master_n hooker_n who_o will_v 5._o eccl._n polit._n lib._n 5._o you_o to_o take_v that_o wherein_o all_o side_n both_o protestant_n and_o papist_n and_o lutheran_n do_v agree_v and_o consent_n and_o then_o consider_v by_o itself_o what_o cause_n there_o be_v why_o the_o rest_n in_o question_n shall_v not_o rather_o be_v reject_v as_o superfluous_a then_o urge_v as_o necessary_a it_o be_v on_o all_o side_n confess_v first_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a participation_n of_o christ_n who_o thereby_o impart_v not_o only_a totum_fw-la svi_fw-la but_o totum_fw-la se_fw-la himself_o whole_o even_o his_o whole_a entire_a person_n as_o a_o mystical_a head_n unto_o every_o soul_n that_o receive_v he_o and_o that_o every_o such_o receiver_n do_v incorporate_a or_o unite_v himself_o to_o christ_n as_o a_o mystical_a member_n of_o he_o yea_o and_o as_o a_o fellow_n member_n of_o all_o true_a christian_a soul_n live_v on_o earth_n or_o triumph_v in_o heaven_n second_o it_o be_v also_o agree_v on_o that_o to_o who_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n be_v thus_o communicate_v to_o they_o he_o give_v by_o the_o same_o sacrament_n his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o sanctify_v they_o as_o it_o sanctifi_v he_o which_o be_v their_o

from_o death_n and_o corruption_n to_o immortality_n and_o life_n five_o all_o side_n confess_v that_o because_o the_o sacrament_n i_o mean_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v of_o itself_o but_o a_o corruptible_a and_o earthly_a creature_n must_v needs_o be_v think_v a_o unlikely_a instrument_n to_o work_v so_o admirable_a effect_n in_o man_n we_o therefore_o be_v to_o rest_v ourselves_o upon_o

give_v we_o shall_v be_v real_o and_o true_o that_o thing_n which_o he_o promise_v this_o be_v agree_v on_o all_o side_n and_o tbis_fw-la be_v as_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v and_o believe_v touch_v our_o receive_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o the_o comfort_n of_o our_o soul_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o faith_n be_v application_n therefore_o every_o communicant_a must_v not_o only_o know_v but_o apply_v that_o in_o particular_a to_o himself_o which_o he_o believe_v in_o general_a as_o that_o christ_n body_n be_v crucify_v for_o he_o and_o
