form_n of_o bread_n and_o be_v not_o the_o cup_n then_o superfluous_a a._n neither_o be_v christ_n body_n carnal_o under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n nor_o be_v the_o bread_n sufficient_a alone_o to_o represent_v christ_n death_n without_o the_o cup_n which_o pour_v out_o do_v represent_v the_o shed_n of_o christ_n blood_n for_o we_o as_o the_o bread_n break_v do_v the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n and_o christ_n ordinance_n must_v in_o no_o sort_n be_v break_v q._n but_o do_v not_o the_o bread_n &_o wine_n after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n cease_v to_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n their_o substance_n be_v change_v or_o transubstantiate_v into_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n nothing_o but_o the_o colour_n and_o savour_n of_o the_o element_n remain_v a._n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v consecrate_v by_o the_o word_n &_o prayer_n receive_v a_o change_n indeed_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o use_n be_v now_o sacred_a which_o before_o be_v common_a but_o not_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o substance_n which_o remain_v one_o and_o the_o same_o still_o q._n but_o be_v it_o not_o say_v of_o the_o bread_n this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o of_o the_o wine_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n and_o be_v not_o christ_n word_n true_a a._n yes_o christ_n word_n be_v true_a and_o because_o they_o be_v true_a therefore_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o change_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o so_o of_o the_o wine_n q._n but_o be_v not_o god_n omnipotent_a can_v he_o change_v the_o substance_n of_o bread_n into_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n body_n a._n god_n be_v omnipotent_a and_o therefore_o he_o can_v lie_v but_o such_o a_o change_n must_v needs_o import_v and_o imply_v a_o lie_n for_o 1._o christ_n body_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v in_o earth_n and_o in_o many_o place_n at_o the_o same_o instant_n 2._o christ_n body_n be_v make_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o virgin_n and_o therefore_o not_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n q._n why_o do_v christ_n say_v then_o this_o be_v my_o body_n a._n he_o say_v no_o otherwise_o of_o this_o sacrament_n than_o he_o do_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n both_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o of_o the_o new_a for_o so_o circumcision_n be_v call_v the_o covenant_n be_v but_o a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o it_o as_o gen._n 17._o 10_o 11._o the_o paschall_n lamb_n be_v call_v the_o passeover_n exod._n 12._o 11._o though_o it_o be_v but_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o memorial_n of_o the_o passeover_n v_o 27._o so_o baptism_n be_v call_v regeneration_n tit._n 3._o 5._o though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n be_v call_v christ_n body_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o constant_a language_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o all_o the_o sacrament_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n to_o call_v the_o sign_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v deceive_v in_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n word_n q._n but_o be_v the_o sacramentalll_v element_n bare_a sign_n do_v they_o not_o work_v grace_n effectual_o of_o themselves_o a._n they_o neither_o work_v grace_n effectual_o of_o themselves_o nor_o be_v they_o bare_a sign_n but_o these_o sign_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v to_o signify_v that_o they_o be_v mean_v ordain_v of_o christ_n to_o confirm_v to_o the_o faithful_a receiver_n the_o thing_n signify_v not_o of_o themselves_o but_o by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n institution_n where_o the_o condition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v observe_v q._n what_o then_o be_v every_o man_n to_o do_v before_o he_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n a._n he_o must_v examine_v himself_o 1._o cor._n 11._o 28._o q._n wherein_o be_v a_o man_n to_o examine_v himself_o a._n in_o two_o thing_n 1._o touch_v his_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sacrament_n 2._o touch_v his_o
