be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o this_o meditation_n have_v three_o point_n and_o object_n i._o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o these_o word_n my_o body_n my_o

these_o word_n break_v for_o you_o shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o when_o you_o hear_v jesus_n christ_n propose_v his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n the_o meditation_n then_o require_v of_o you_o be_v that_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o have_v so_o expose_v ourselves_o to_o the_o wrath_n and_o so_o incur_v the_o indignation_n and_o revenge_n of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o transgression_n that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n must_v be_v satisfy_v &_o consequent_o that_o either_o we_o must_v bear_v god_n wrath_n and_o malediction_n and_o so_o for_o ever_o stoop_v and_o faint_v under_o the_o heavy_a burden_n thereof_o or_o else_o that_o some_o other_o thing_n must_v be_v substitute_v in_o our_o steed_n and_o place_n to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o nothing_o can_v be_v find_v out_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o be_v appoint_v in_o the_o place_n of_o man_n and_o worthy_o to_o satisfy_v for_o his_o sin_n from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n beast_n have_v be_v offer_v and_o these_o sacrifice_n of_o beast_n by_o the_o sense_n and_o feeling_n which_o our_o conscience_n have_v ever_o give_v to_o man_n of_o a_o sufficient_a &_o valable_a satisfaction_n for_o sin_n have_v be_v practise_v in_o all_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o the_o old_a law_n a_o man_n come_v and_o put_v his_o hand_n on_o the_o head_n of_o the_o beast_n which_o be_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v as_o put_v she_o in_o his_o place_n and_o room_n with_o a_o intent_n and_o hope_n to_o discharge_v and_o transfer_v his_o sin_n on_o she_o but_o contrariwise_o natural_a reason_n show_v that_o that_o can_v no_o way_n appease_v or_o satisfy_v god_n for_o god_n justice_n be_v of_o itself_o most_o perfect_a can_v no_o way_n content_v itself_o with_o a_o payment_n or_o satisfaction_n so_o unequal_a and_o imperfect_a to_o the_o debt_n because_o all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o earth_n place_v and_o number_v up_o together_o be_v not_o

respire_v in_o offer_v these_o sacrifice_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o all_o other_o ought_v to_o reverence_n and_o look_v on_o when_o therefore_o you_o hear_v jesus_n christ_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n you_o must_v figure_v and_o represent_v he_o to_o you_o as_o proffer_v and_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n his_o father_n these_o admirable_a word_n and_o speech_n recite_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 10._o hebr._n 10._o thou_o will_v have_v no_o sacrifice_n or_o offer_v but_o thou_o have_v give_v and_o appropriate_v i_o a_o body_n thou_o have_v take_v no_o delight_n in_o sacrifice_n and_o then_o i_o have_v say_v here_o i_o be_o i_o come_v and_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o book_n it_o be_v write_v of_o i_o that_o i_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n so_o here_o christ_n jesus_n come_v to_o present_v himself_o in_o the_o place_n and_o steed_n of_o all_o these_o sacrifice_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v up_o under_o the_o law_n and_o which_o be_v daily_o reiterated_a &_o continue_a because_o as_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o same_o chapter_n 4._o ibid._n v._o 4._o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n shall_v take_v and_o wash_v away_o sin_n and_o therefore_o my_o belove_a brethren_n observe_v here_o the_o readiness_n and_o favour_n which_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n make_v and_o provide_v for_o you_o of_o a_o most_o convenient_a and_o requisite_a victim_n and_o oblation_n when_o isaac_n be_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v there_o be_v a_o ram_n find_v tie_v by_o the_o horn_n to_o a_o bush_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v for_o he_o but_o here_o o_o sinner_n behold_v in_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o great_a sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n which_o the_o wonder_n of_o god_n divine_a providence_n have_v address_v and_o send_v you_o and_o rejoice_v that_o here_o be_v the_o true_a sacrifice_n or_o victim_n which_o come_v to_o assist_v and_o defend_v you_o from_o god_n heavy_a wrath_n and_o indignation_n but_o jesus_n christ_n as_o be_v simple_o god_n can_v not_o present_v himself_o in_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o man_n for_o there_o want_v a_o humane_a sacrifice_n because_o sin_n have_v be_v commit_v and_o perpetrate_v by_o man_n wherefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v you_o this_o be_v my_o body_n he_o say_v not_o this_o i_o be_o but_z this_o be_v my_o body_n thereby_o purposely_o to_o conduct_v and_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o incarnation_n whereby_o he_o be_v descend_v from_o heaven_n have_v take_v and_o assume_v a_o carnal_a body_n and_o be_v make_v man_n for_o we_o so_o that_o conjoint_o with_o these_o word_n you_o at_o one_o time_n see_v your_o great_a sacrifice_n take_v from_o earth_n and_o yet_o descend_v from_o heaven_n take_v from_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v a_o body_n descend_v from_o heaven_n for_o it_o be_v my_o body_n say_v our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o i_o true_a god_n with_o the_o father_n here_o therefore_o be_v the_o wonder_n which_o you_o ought_v to_o meditate_v on_o that_o nothing_o be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o world_n no_o nor_o in_o the_o infinite_a multitude_n and_o infinity_n of_o all_o god_n creature_n which_o can_v be_v capable_a to_o be_v our_o ransom_n towards_o god_n then_o lo_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n descend_v so_o low_a as_o he_o make_v himself_o man_n and_o a_o creature_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v offer_v up_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o he_o who_o essence_n be_v whole_o simple_a and_o spiritual_a assume_v a_o body_n and_o be_v material_a and_o carnal_a he_o who_o be_v invisible_a to_o our_o eye_n have_v make_v himself_o conspicuous_a and_o visible_a to_o we_o permit_v and_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v beat_v tie_v and_o nail_v to_o a_o cross_n yea_o to_o be_v run_v through_o with_o a_o spear_n and_o in_o a_o word_n capable_a to_o be_v sacrifice_v and_o here_o you_o may_v know_v and_o find_v why_o jesus_n christ_n hold_v the_o bread_n say_v not_o this_o be_v my_o divinity_n but_z this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o not_o his_o divine_a but_o only_o his_o humane_a nature_n can_v be_v offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_n the_o divinity_n be_v well_o consider_v but_o still_o as_o offering_n not_o as_o offer_v according_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o hebrew_n 9.14_o heb._n 9.14_o that_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o up_o to_o god_n by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n by_o which_o mean_n it_o be_v not_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v for_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v be_v to_o die_v but_o the_o body_n have_v be_v offer_v by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n and_o here_o arise_v unto_o we_o another_o wonder_n to_o wit_n that_o although_o christ_n humane_a nature_n be_v offer_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v of_o as_o great_a a_o price_n and_o value_n as_o if_o his_o divinity_n itself_o can_v have_v be_v offer_v and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o this_o his_o humane_a nature_n compose_v not_o but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n with_o the_o divine_a nature_n for_o this_o body_n which_o be_v crucify_v be_v personal_o unite_v to_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n and_o this_o miracle_n or_o wonder_n be_v give_v you_o for_o your_o meditation_n in_o that_o jesus_n christ_n hold_v the_o bread_n say_v not_o indefinite_o this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o but_o this_o be_v my_o body_n as_o if_o he_o say_v this_o be_v a_o humane_a body_n and_o yet_o i_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o this_o vivify_a or_o quicken_a flesh_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o be_v a_o worthy_a ransom_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n sith_o it_o be_v the_o flesh_n of_o a_o man_n who_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n in_o the_o leviticall_a law_n moses_n sprinkle_v of_o blood_n when_o god_n contract_v alliance_n with_o the_o israelite_n say_v this_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o testament_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v for_o you_o but_o this_o blood_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o beast_n now_o here_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o supper_n be_v propose_v and_o present_v to_o you_o

our_o soul_n in_o the_o participation_n and_o receive_v thereof_o but_o the_o excellency_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v full_o comprise_v and_o contain_v in_o the_o very_a word_n whereby_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n do_v institute_v it_o to_o we_o which_o be_v a_o brief_a declaration_n of_o his_o own_o use_n and_o custom_n so_o that_o as_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o short_a abridgement_n and_o epitome_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o redemption_n so_o the_o word_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v pronounce_v therein_o contain_v the_o most_o excellent_a matter_n and_o the_o most_o necessary_a meditation_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o give_v but_o a_o word_n for_o all_o be_v the_o very_a true_a epitome_n and_o compendium_n of_o all_o that_o which_o faith_n ought_v to_o contemplate_v and_o behold_v in_o jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o since_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o be_v here_o this_o day_n assemble_v to_o prepare_v and_o dispose_v ourselves_o for_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n holy_a supper_n we_o have_v now_o purposely_o choose_v for_o our_o text_n and_o meditation_n the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o use_v in_o that_o supper_n not_o to_o stay_v or_o make_v you_o listen_v to_o point_n of_o controversy_n which_o at_o the_o first_o hear_v of_o the_o text_n you_o may_v conceive_v or_o imagine_v which_o be_v not_o so_o requisite_a for_o this_o time_n and_o occasion_n wherein_o we_o have_v more_o cause_n to_o dispute_v and_o reason_n to_o fight_v against_o the_o obduratnesse_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n against_o our_o impenitency_n diffidencie_n presumption_n and_o the_o like_a vice_n and_o sin_n then_o against_o our_o adversary_n but_o to_o represent_v and_o show_v you_o what_o meditation_n and_o function_n the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v produce_v and_o propagate_v in_o our_o soul_n when_o we_o present_v ourselves_o to_o his_o holy_a table_n to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n and_o although_o as_o we_o have_v former_o say_v it_o be_v not_o now_o my_o intent_n or_o meaning_n to_o treat_v of_o controversy_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o deduce_v and_o give_v you_o the_o occasion_n and_o reason_n of_o these_o word_n and_o to_o show_v the_o clear_a and_o pure_a sense_n thereof_o thereby_o to_o cause_n to_o slide_v into_o your_o heart_n and_o to_o distil_v into_o your_o soul_n the_o holy_a doctrine_n and_o instruction_n which_o they_o contain_v to_o which_o end_n and_o purpose_n by_o god_n assistance_n we_o will_v especial_o treat_v &_o insist_v on_o three_o main_n point_n and_o general_a head_n 1._o the_o reason_n and_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n 2._o the_o meditation_n which_o these_o word_n administer_v and_o furnish_v we_o with_o 3._o the_o duty_n and_o function_n whereunto_o they_o oblige_v us._n i._o point_n or_o general_n head_n the_o word_n be_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o where_o first_o we_o must_v know_v why_o it_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v of_o eat_v and_o why_o he_o propose_v this_o sacrament_n under_o the_o word_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_v it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o allege_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v this_o occasional_o that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o he_o be_v at_o table_n as_o by_o occasion_n he_o find_v himself_o near_o a_o well_o and_o demand_v water_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o samaritane_n woman_n that_o the_o speak_v to_o she_o of_o the_o grace_n &_o efficacy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n under_o the_o name_n of_o water_n and_o drink_v this_o answer_n suffice_v when_o we_o demand_v why_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v to_o the_o troop_n and_o multitude_n of_o people_n before_o he_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n propose_v himself_o as_o bread_n descend_v from_o heaven_n and_o his_o flesh_n as_o meat_n which_o give_v everlasting_a and_o eternal_a life_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o apparent_a that_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v so_o by_o occasion_n answer_v those_o troop_n and_o multitude_n which_o ask_v he_o for_o bread_n and_o who_o follow_v he_o for_o earthly_a meat_n and_o for_o this_o occasion_n he_o therefore_o assume_v the_o name_n of_o those_o thing_n to_o the_o which_o he_o see_v they_o affect_v but_o here_o where_o it_o concern_v and_o depend_v of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o answer_n draw_v and_o derive_v from_o the_o occasion_n to_o be_v at_o table_n be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o we_o may_v demand_v again_o why_o jesus_n christ_n place_v and_o sit_v himself_o at_o table_n to_o institute_v and_o celebrate_v this_o sacrament_n for_o answer_v whereof_o they_o allege_v and_o propose_v three_o reason_n i_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v already_o institute_v baptism_n under_o the_o similitude_n of_o a_o birth_n it_o be_v likewise_o very_o fit_a and_o expedient_a that_o he_o shall_v institute_v his_o holy_a supper_n under_o the_o similitude_n of_o nutriment_n or_o nourishment_n for_o if_o the_o beginning_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o spiritual_a life_n have_v be_v propose_v in_o the_o first_o sacrament_n by_o a_o birth_n in_o comparison_n of_o a_o temporal_a life_n it_o be_v very_o requisite_a and_o reasonable_a that_o the_o advancement_n and_o progress_n of_o grace_n shall_v by_o the_o same_o comparison_n be_v propose_v by_o a_o nourishment_n in_o the_o second_o sacrament_n as_o than_o jesus_n christ_n have_v in_o baptism_n give_v water_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a of_o the_o generation_n of_o corporal_a thing_n to_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a and_o efficient_a cause_n of_o the_o regeneration_n of_o our_o soul_n so_o he_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o bless_a supper_n by_o those_o thing_n from_o whence_o we_o have_v and_o receive_v our_o temporal_a nourishment_n to_o wit_n bread_n and_o wine_n thereby_o to_o represent_v unto_o we_o the_o life_n which_o our_o soul_n receive_v of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o word_n of_o eat_v be_v no_o more_o mean_v or_o take_v of_o the_o letter_n in_o this_o sacrament_n then_o that_o of_o birth_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o that_o he_o who_o think_v or_o pretend_v to_o nourish_v himself_o of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o bodily_a mouth_n commit_v the_o same_o error_n which_o nicodemus_n do_v who_o because_o christ_n speak_v to_o he_o of_o be_v bear_v again_o 3.4_o john_n 3.4_o ask_v if_o man_n when_o he_o be_v grow_v old_a can_v reenter_v into_o his_o mother_n belly_n and_o be_v bear_v anew_o ii_o reason_n that_o our_o union_n with_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o application_n which_o be_v make_v and_o give_v we_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o apply_v or_o give_v but_o to_o those_o who_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o body_n with_o he_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o his_o body_n it_o be_v expedient_a that_o this_o union_n shall_v be_v represent_v unto_o we_o but_o it_o can_v more_o perfect_o or_o lively_o be_v represent_v or_o figure_v to_o we_o then_o by_o the_o union_n of_o meat_n with_o our_o body_n sith_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o nature_n do_v more_o strict_o or_o efficable_o unite_v to_o our_o body_n than_o meat_n by_o our_o eat_n thereof_o as_o then_o by_o eat_v meat_n do_v become_v our_o own_o proper_a flesh_n and_o bone_n so_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o by_o the_o faith_n and_o virtue_n of_o christ_n holy_a spirit_n we_o become_v one_o with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v make_v flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o again_o that_o as_o by_o the_o union_n of_o meat_n we_o receive_v our_o temporal_a life_n so_o by_o our_o union_n with_o jesus_n christ_n we_o receive_v our_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a life_n iii_o reason_n that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v institute_v his_o holy_a supper_n at_o the_o sacrament_n of_o easter_n in_o which_o sacrament_n the_o jew_n be_v accustom_v to_o eat_v a_o lamb_n and_o indeed_o jesus_n christ_n be_v at_o the_o table_n for_o the_o celebration_n of_o easter_n but_o at_o the_o sacrament_n or_o passeover_n of_o easter_n two_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o perform_v first_o there_o be_v a_o lamb_n eat_v and_o after_o as_o for_o a_o banquet_n and_o this_o be_v verify_v and_o recite_v by_o those_o who_o have_v write_v the_o jew_n liturgy_n the_o father_n of_o the_o family_n take_v bread_n to_o wit_n unleavened_a bread_n which_o be_v hold_v course_n and_o poor_a bread_n and_o in_o give_v it_o to_o every_o one_o of_o his_o family_n which_o be_v sit_v at_o table_n say_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o misery_n which_o our_o father_n have_v eat_v in_o egypt_n and_o take_v the_o cup_n bless_v it_o with_o a_o solemn_a
