transubstantiation_n for_o i_o will_v ask_v suppose_v a_o man_n shall_v consecrate_v with_o the_o word_n of_o st._n luke_n this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n will_v that_o change_v the_o wine_n not_o to_o say_v the_o cup_n into_o the_o very_a blood_n of_o christ_n certain_o it_o will_v not_o do_v it_o by_o force_n of_o those_o word_n for_o they_o intimate_v no_o such_o

institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v very_o great_a irreverence_n which_o some_o be_v guilty_a of_o in_o receive_v of_o it_o indeed_o such_o as_o it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o have_v they_o believe_v what_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n now_o believe_v about_o it_o it_o be_v therefore_o very_o necessary_a that_o the_o apostle_n shall_v speak_v clear_o and_o plain_o out_o in_o this_o matter_n and_o we_o see_v he_o do_v solemn_o usher_v in_o what_o he_o say_v with_o the_o authority_n of_o christ_n for_o i_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o which_o i_o also_o deliver_v unto_o you_o in_o etc._n etc._n and_o then_o he_o repeat_v the_o word_n as_o st._n luke_n do_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o call_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n bread_n near_o ten_o time_n in_o that_o chapter_n 4._o the_o last_o argument_n i_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o upon_o this_o head_n be_v this_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o another_o account_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n the_o opinion_n of_o that_o church_n be_v that_o under_o each_o species_n as_o they_o call_v it_o whole_a christ_n be_v contain_v body_n blood_n soul_n and_o divinity_n so_o that_o both_o be_v but_o just_a the_o very_a same_o thing_n in_o nothing_o different_a but_o in_o outward_a appearance_n which_o only_o deceive_v our_o sense_n and_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o opinion_n chief_o that_o they_o ground_n the_o denial_n of_o the_o cup_n to_o the_o people_n because_o say_v they_o shall_v they_o have_v the_o cup_n they_o will_v have_v no_o more_o but_o just_a the_o very_a same_o thing_n they_o have_v in_o the_o other_o kind_a and_o suppose_v their_o opinion_n true_a the_o argument_n may_v for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v have_v some_o force_n in_o it_o but_o then_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o deny_v we_o leave_v to_o argue_v the_o other_o way_n that_o that_o opinion_n must_v needs_o be_v false_a which_o make_v our_o saviour_n guilty_a of_o a_o great_a absurdity_n in_o appoint_v two_o kind_n but_o both_o real_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o one_o of_o they_o perfect_o unnecessary_a but_o that_o which_o i_o will_v chief_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o they_o contradict_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o what_o they_o make_v but_o one_o thing_n he_o plain_o make_v two_o and_o call_v they_o by_o two_o different_a name_n the_o one_o he_o call_v his_o body_n the_o other_o he_o call_v his_o blood_n which_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v two_o different_a thing_n as_o plain_a as_o word_n can_v express_v they_o they_o say_v indeed_o that_o in_o the_o glorify_a body_n of_o christ_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n can_v be_v separate_v and_o therefore_o be_v the_o word_n to_o be_v take_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o to_o consider_v they_o separate_v they_o will_v contain_v a_o great_a absurdity_n so_o that_o wherever_o the_o one_o be_v the_o other_o by_o concomitancy_n must_v be_v there_o too_o but_o who_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o glorify_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n the_o word_n of_o the_o institution_n intimate_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o speak_v of_o his_o body_n give_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v which_o certain_o be_v separate_v from_o his_o body_n but_o however_o this_o be_v argue_v from_o reason_n against_o the_o word_n and_o be_v just_a the_o very_a same_o thing_n which_o they_o condemn_v as_o heretical_a in_o we_o and_o if_o this_o be_v once_o allow_v they_o must_v throw_v off_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n for_o we_o can_v show_v they_o ten_o time_n as_o many_o absurdity_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transustantiation_n as_o they_o can_v in_o suppose_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o subsist_v separately_z in_o short_a either_o we_o must_v stick_v to_o the_o very_a word_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n or_o we_o must_v not_o if_o we_o must_v their_o opinion_n must_v be_v false_a which_o make_v what_o our_o saviour_n call_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v but_o one_o if_o we_o must_v not_o stick_v to_o the_o very_a word_n but_o interpret_v they_o according_a to_o right_a reason_n and_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n they_o then_o give_v up_o their_o cause_n to_o conclude_v this_o head_n what_o reason_n can_v there_o be_v imagine_v why_o our_o saviour_n shall_v in_o a_o solemn_a manner_n at_o different_a time_n and_o under_o different_a name_n give_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n call_v the_o one_o his_o body_n and_o the_o other_o his_o blood_n when_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v invert_v the_o name_n and_o have_v call_v that_o his_o blood_n which_o he_o call_v his_o body_n and_o so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o can_v i_o believe_v be_v any_o reason_n think_v of_o but_o only_o this_o that_o the_o one_o kind_a the_o bread_n be_v very_o proper_a to_o represent_v the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n the_o other_o the_o wine_n to_o represent_v the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n that_o we_o will_v have_v for_o then_o there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o these_o name_n without_o any_o bodily_a presence_n at_o all_o i_o have_v be_v the_o long_o in_o consider_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o this_o matter_n because_o your_o writer_n common_o boast_v more_o of_o the_o scripture_n be_v for_o you_o in_o this_o case_n than_o in_o any_o other_o controversy_n betwixt_o we_o and_o i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v more_o than_o i_o need_v have_v do_v in_o prove_v that_o the_o sense_n your_o church_n put_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n can_v be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o they_o it_o be_v sufficient_a in_o a_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n which_o be_v load_v with_o so_o many_o absurdity_n to_o have_v show_v that_o they_o do_v fair_o admit_v of_o another_o interpretation_n but_o have_v so_o full_o confute_v this_o doctrine_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n i_o be_o now_o more_o at_o liberty_n to_o show_v you_o the_o gross_a absurdity_n and_o the_o monstrous_a contradiction_n that_o be_v involve_v in_o it_o though_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v so_o full_o fraught_v with_o contradiction_n that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o know_v where_o to_o begin_v i_o shall_v therefore_o content_v myself_o just_a to_o repeat_v some_o of_o they_o which_o be_v ready_o collect_v to_o my_o hand_n by_o a_o great_a divine_a of_o our_o own_o 165._o chilligworth_n p._n 165._o that_o there_o shall_v be_v accident_n without_o a_o

of_o the_o former_a for_o it_o will_v be_v very_o difficult_a to_o show_v how_o the_o church_n can_v exert_v its_o infallibility_n so_o as_o to_o be_v a_o guide_n but_o either_o by_o mean_n of_o its_o head_n which_o you_o make_v the_o pope_n or_o else_o by_o the_o way_n of_o a_o general_n council_n there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n whereby_o those_o of_o your_o communion_n can_v be_v certain_a what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n and_o what_o be_v the_o tradition_n of_o your_o church_n but_o one_o of_o these_o and_o therefore_o have_v consider_v both_o of_o they_o already_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o consider_v the_o way_n of_o reason_v your_o divine_n common_o make_v use_v of_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o either_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v such_o a_o infallible_a judge_n as_o for_o what_o they_o say_v from_o scripture_n it_o be_v common_o urge_v so_o cold_o and_o with_o so_o much_o diffidence_n that_o we_o may_v see_v they_o do_v not_o lay_v any_o great_a stress_n upon_o it_o but_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v amuse_v only_o with_o some_o general_a word_n in_o truth_n nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o desire_v you_o will_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o infallibility_n which_o can_v serve_v to_o be_v your_o guide_n but_o only_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n or_o a_o general_n council_n nothing_o from_o scripture_n can_v be_v pertinent_a but_o that_o which_o prove_v either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o no_o man_n or_o number_n of_o man_n can_v be_v infallible_a without_o a_o particular_a assistance_n and_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a they_o be_v so_o without_o a_o particular_a promise_n and_o therefore_o when_o you_o hear_v any_o thing_n allege_v from_o scripture_n only_o ask_v yourselves_o what_o do_v this_o prove_v do_v it_o prove_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v infallible_a or_o do_v it_o prove_v a_o general_n council_n to_o be_v so_o if_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v one_o of_o they_o it_o prove_v nothing_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o you_o be_v never_o the_o near_a your_o guide_n for_o any_o thing_n else_o now_o as_o to_o general_a council_n i_o have_v show_v already_o that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o hint_n of_o they_o in_o scripture_n and_o as_o for_o the_o title_n of_o the_o pope_n to_o it_o i_o shall_v consider_v it_o present_o in_o examine_v his_o supremacy_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n shall_v take_v notice_n a_o little_a what_o they_o urge_v from_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v such_o a_o judge_n aught_o to_o be_v i_o say_v for_o all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n without_o a_o revelation_n from_o god_n can_v never_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v one_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o depend_v mere_o upon_o the_o appoinment_n and_o good-pleasure_n of_o god_n the_o writer_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n it_o must_v be_v confess_v talk_v plausible_o enough_o when_o they_o expose_v the_o weakness_n of_o human_a understanding_n and_o the_o infirmity_n of_o human_a nature_n and_o i_o must_v say_v that_o in_o read_v of_o they_o i_o can_v hardly_o forbear_v at_o least_o to_o wish_v that_o if_o it_o have_v please_v god_n some_o effectual_a remedy_n have_v be_v provide_v to_o secure_a man_n from_o error_n but_o this_o do_v not_o at_o all_o influence_n i_o to_o think_v that_o god_n have_v do_v so_o and_o that_o upon_o these_o three_o account_n 1._o because_o we_o see_v in_o fact_n that_o neither_o mankind_n in_o general_n nor_o christian_n in_o particular_a have_v be_v secure_v from_o error_n that_o there_o have_v be_v as_o many_o contest_v and_o difference_n among_o christian_n as_o we_o can_v suppose_v there_o will_v have_v be_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o they_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o state_n we_o say_v they_o be_v without_o any_o infallible_a guide_n to_o direct_v they_o and_o therefore_o whatever_o force_n such_o a_o consideration_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o end_v controversy_n may_v have_v have_v in_o the_o first_o time_n of_o our_o religion_n the_o matter_n of_o fact_n do_v now_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n take_v it_o off_o because_o in_o 1700_o year_n the_o church_n have_v not_o be_v free_v from_o they_o from_o whence_o as_o i_o say_v before_o we_o may_v infer_v either_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o controversy_n shall_v be_v end_v or_o that_o a_o infallible_a judge_n will_v not_o end_v they_o or_o that_o there_o be_v no_o infallible_a judge_n either_o of_o which_o take_v away_o the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n 2._o because_o this_o whole_a way_n of_o argue_v from_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o understanding_n and_o proness_n to_o error_n and_o the_o like_a prove_v nothing_o in_o particular_a and_o consequent_o do_v not_o bring_v we_o at_o all_o near_a satisfaction_n than_o we_o be_v before_o the_o most_o natural_a inference_n from_o it_o be_v that_o every_o man_n be_v to_o be_v of_o the_o religion_n of_o his_o country_n for_o that_o make_v through_o work_n and_o excuse_n we_o from_o use_v our_o fallible_a reason_n at_o all_o in_o the_o matter_n whereas_o in_o your_o way_n however_o you_o may_v cry_v out_o of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o our_o own_o reason_n yet_o you_o must_v use_v it_o in_o a_o great_a many_o material_a point_n and_o indeed_o find_v all_o the_o certainty_n you_o have_v upon_o it_o you_o must_v for_o instance_n judge_n by_o your_o own_o reason_n whether_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v true_a or_o not_o whether_o among_o all_o the_o professor_n of_o christianity_n you_o be_v the_o true_a church_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o infallible_a judge_n or_o no_o and_o who_o he_o be_v and_o what_o his_o determination_n be_v these_o be_v thing_n of_o great_a weight_n and_o of_o a_o great_a latitude_n and_o indeed_o take_v in_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o religion_n and_o yet_o these_o thing_n must_v be_v judge_v of_o by_o that_o reason_n which_o god_n have_v give_v every_o man_n or_o they_o can_v be_v judge_v of_o at_o all_o whereas_o your_o whole_a way_n of_o argue_v from_o the_o fallibility_n of_o our_o understanding_n either_o prove_v that_o we_o can_v judge_v with_o certainty_n of_o these_o matter_n or_o it_o prove_v nothing_o 3._o this_o whole_a way_n of_o talk_v be_v to_o i_o a_o strong_a prejudice_n against_o what_o you_o will_v prove_v by_o it_o for_o if_o you_o have_v a_o plain_a institution_n or_o a_o promise_n of_o such_o a_o judge_n to_o show_v there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o this_o argue_n that_o will_v be_v sufficient_a and_o without_o that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v infallible_a and_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o man_n have_v no_o such_o commission_n or_o promise_n to_o show_v when_o they_o be_v force_v to_o use_v so_o much_o cavil_v and_o dispute_v about_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v indeed_o nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n without_o the_o other_o we_o do_v with_o much_o more_o reason_n infer_v that_o since_o god_n have_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v any_o such_o commission_n that_o therefore_o we_o must_v make_v the_o best_a of_o those_o other_o mean_n which_o he_o be_v please_v to_o allow_v we_o to_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o endeavour_v to_o understand_v they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v and_o this_o be_v the_o method_n that_o our_o saviour_n direct_v search_v the_o scripture_n for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v you_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o they_o testify_v of_o i_o from_o which_o word_n we_o may_v plain_o infer_v these_o follow_a thing_n 1._o that_o the_o jew_n have_v at_o that_o time_n no_o infallible_a guide_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n for_o if_o they_o have_v our_o saviour_n will_v have_v direct_v they_o thither_o but_o we_o see_v he_o direct_v they_o to_o the_o scripture_n 2._o we_o may_v infer_v that_o the_o person_n our_o saviour_n speak_v to_o have_v without_o a_o infallible_a guide_n sufficient_a ability_n to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n and_o to_o have_v true_a faith_n otherwise_o we_o may_v be_v sure_o he_o will_v not_o have_v send_v they_o thither_o and_o if_o they_o can_v understand_v the_o old_a testament_n without_o such_o a_o guide_n much_o more_o may_v christian_n understand_v the_o new_a which_o be_v much_o easy_a 3._o we_o may_v infer_v that_o private_a person_n for_o such_o our_o saviour_n speak_v to_o may_v have_v sufficient_a assurance_n of_o divine_a truth_n from_o examine_v the_o scripture_n though_o they_o go_v

old_a testament_n be_v in_o heaven_n before_o christ_n resurrection_n or_o not_o nor_o whether_o they_o and_o other_o saint_n since_o be_v there_o now_o because_o a_o great_a many_o christian_n of_o no_o mean_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v be_v of_o different_a opinion_n in_o these_o matter_n only_o i_o think_v these_o two_o or_o three_o thing_n be_v very_o plain_a 1._o that_o enoch_n and_o elias_n be_v suppose_v by_o a_o great_a many_o before_o our_o saviour_n time_n to_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o they_o must_v have_v be_v look_v upon_o by_o they_o to_o be_v very_o great_a favourite_n of_o god_n by_o be_v take_v out_o of_o this_o world_n in_o so_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a a_o manner_n as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o they_o be_v and_o yet_o we_o hear_v as_o little_a of_o pray_v to_o they_o as_o to_o any_o other_o person_n 2._o suppose_v it_o not_o agree_v upon_o then_o whether_o saint_n be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o all_o agree_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v and_o they_o be_v altogether_o as_o well_o capacitate_v to_o hear_v and_o answer_v prayer_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v put_v up_o to_o they_o then_o as_o they_o be_v now_o and_o yet_o we_o find_v as_o little_a of_o man_n pray_v to_o angel_n as_o they_o do_v to_o saint_n in_o those_o time_n 3._o whatever_o reason_n can_v be_v assign_v for_o pray_v to_o creature_n now_o will_v have_v hold_v as_o well_o then_o whatever_o necessity_n or_o conveniency_n or_o advantage_n or_o fitness_n there_o may_v be_v in_o it_o be_v all_o the_o same_o and_o indeed_o much_o great_a then_o than_o they_o be_v now_o upon_o these_o two_o account_n 1._o because_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v of_o itself_o a_o state_n of_o much_o great_a perfection_n than_o any_o dispensation_n that_o be_v before_o it_o god_n have_v in_o it_o reveal_v himself_o more_o clear_o and_o plain_o to_o the_o world_n have_v more_o evidence_v his_o love_n and_o tenderness_n to_o mankind_n have_v give_v we_o great_a encouragement_n to_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o he_o speak_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n as_o a_o father_n to_o his_o child_n as_o a_o reconcile_a father_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o according_o in_o that_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o our_o saviour_n have_v leave_v we_o that_o be_v the_o appellation_n which_o he_o have_v teach_v we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n now_o why_o shall_v a_o child_n be_v afraid_a to_o approach_v the_o presence_n of_o his_o father_n or_o what_o need_n have_v he_o of_o any_o body_n to_o introduce_v he_o under_o the_o jewish_a dispensation_n when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v with_o thundering_n and_o lightning_n when_o god_n be_v call_v by_o the_o terrible_a name_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n there_o may_v be_v more_o reason_n to_o think_v of_o some_o body_n to_o introduce_v they_o to_o his_o presence_n which_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o find_v be_v ever_o recommend_v or_o practise_v among_o they_o how_o much_o more_o may_v christian_n come_v with_o boldness_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o mercy_n and_o expect_v to_o find_v grace_n to_o help_v in_o time_n of_o need_n but_o what_o be_v more_o considerable_a 2._o christian_n have_v christ_n for_o their_o mediator_n who_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a all_o those_o that_o come_v to_o god_n by_o he_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n ready_a to_o plead_v their_o cause_n and_o to_o get_v their_o prayer_n hear_v and_o their_o person_n accept_v and_o they_o that_o have_v such_o a_o advocate_n need_v not_o fly_v to_o any_o else_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o church_n before_o christ_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o thing_n have_v be_v at_o all_o lawful_a they_o have_v much_o more_o reason_n to_o make_v saint_n and_o angel_n their_o patron_n than_o christian_n have_v and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o account_n which_o we_o have_v in_o the_o bible_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n before_o christ_n for_o near_o 4000_o year_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o hint_n of_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_n 3._o what_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o all_o along_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n prayer_n be_v appropriate_v to_o god_n and_o that_o without_o any_o reserve_n or_o distinction_n may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o that_o case_n but_o i_o have_v this_o further_a to_o add_v that_o the_o same_o scripture_n add_v with_o the_o same_o general_a word_n condemn_v as_o idolatrous_a all_o the_o old_a heathen_a worship_n now_o i_o have_v show_v before_o that_o much_o of_o this_o worship_n be_v pay_v to_o creature_n under_o the_o same_o notion_n and_o apprehension_n that_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n worship_n saint_n and_o angel_n indeed_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n that_o most_o of_o those_o worship_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v probable_o good_a creature_n as_o most_o of_o those_o who_o the_o heathen_n worship_v be_v bad_a one_o and_o it_o may_v be_v devil_n but_o this_o distinction_n of_o good_a or_o bad_a creature_n may_v make_v the_o worship_n more_o or_o less_o impious_a but_o not_o more_o or_o less_o idolatrous_a whatever_o will_v make_v it_o idolatry_n in_o the_o one_o case_n will_v make_v it_o so_o in_o the_o other_o the_o worship_n appropriate_v to_o god_n be_v no_o more_o due_a to_o a_o good_a creature_n than_o it_o be_v to_o a_o bad_a one_o since_o therefore_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o scripture_n every_o where_o condemn_v the_o worship_n which_o the_o heathen_a give_v to_o what_o they_o own_v not_o to_o be_v god_n and_o which_o they_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o worship_n as_o the_o supreme_a god_n i_o say_v since_o this_o be_v condemn_v not_o only_o as_o impious_a for_o choose_v ill_a creature_n but_o as_o idolatrous_a for_o give_v what_o belong_v only_o to_o god_n this_o must_v equal_o prove_v all_o creature_n worship_n to_o be_v idolatrous_a 4._o this_o creature_n worship_n be_v as_o little_o hear_v of_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o old_a hear_v of_o it_o be_v indeed_o but_o what_o approbation_n it_o meet_v with_o we_o may_v see_v by_o consider_v these_o particular_n the_o first_o instance_n be_v that_o of_o the_o devil_n desire_v our_o saviour_n to_o worship_v he_o upon_o promise_n to_o give_v he_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n but_o let_v we_o see_v what_o our_o saviour_n answer_v he_o do_v not_o put_v he_o off_o with_o tell_v he_o either_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o own_o person_n or_o the_o unfitness_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o worship_v he_o because_o he_o be_v a_o devil_n but_o he_o give_v such_o a_o reason_n as_o will_v hold_v against_o all_o worship_v of_o creature_n thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v from_o which_o word_n i_o will_v observe_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o worship_n which_o the_o devil_n desire_v and_o which_o our_o saviour_n say_v must_v be_v give_v only_o to_o god_n be_v not_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o he_o which_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n make_v the_o only_a outward_a worship_n appropriate_v to_o god_n but_o it_o be_v to_o fall_v down_o and_o adore_v he_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v infer_v that_o to_o fall_v down_o and_o adore_v any_o creature_n must_v be_v idolatry_n which_o part_n of_o worship_n its_o apparent_a the_o church_n of_o rome_n give_v to_o their_o saint_n and_o angel_n 2._o i_o will_v observe_v here_o that_o the_o devil_n do_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o supreme_a god_n but_o plain_o the_o contrary_a for_o when_o he_o show_v our_o saviour_n all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n he_o tell_v he_o that_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v give_v to_o he_o luke_n 4.6_o in_o which_o he_o plain_o profess_v not_o a_o supreme_a but_o a_o delegated_a power_n so_o that_o have_v not_o our_o saviour_n in_o his_o answer_n condemn_v the_o worship_n of_o creature_n though_o own_a and_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v creature_n he_o have_v not_o give_v a_o full_a answer_n to_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n do_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o the_o supreme_a god_n another_o
our_o saviour_n institute_v this_o sacrament_n be_v when_o they_o have_v be_v eat_v the_o passover_n which_o be_v a_o feast_n much_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n among_o the_o jew_n that_o this_o be_v among_o christian_n that_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n in_o memory_n of_o their_o deliverance_n when_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n destroy_v the_o first-born_a of_o all_o the_o egyptian_n and_o this_o in_o memory_n of_o that_o much_o great_a blessing_n to_o christian_n by_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o therefore_o the_o master_n of_o the_o family_n when_o he_o distribute_v

be_v to_o institute_n a_o new_a sacrament_n for_o his_o church_n of_o christian_n as_o that_o be_v for_o the_o jew_n he_o appoint_v a_o memorial_n of_o the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o

we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o they_o be_v in_o any_o difficulty_n or_o surprise_v in_o the_o matter_n which_o they_o can_v not_o have_v avoid_v if_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v just_a

shall_v take_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o with_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n shall_v make_v it_o become_v without_o any_o apparent_a change_n that_o very_a body_n which_o be_v

these_o be_v thing_n one_o will_v think_v shall_v at_o least_o surprise_v they_o a_o little_a and_o make_v they_o ask_v some_o question_n about_o it_o for_o they_o be_v indeed_o strange_a monstrous_a absurdity_n whereas_o the_o sense_n we_o give_v to_o the_o word_n be_v natural_a and_o easy_a especial_o to_o the_o person_n to_o who_o they_o be_v speak_v as_o be_v use_v to_o such_o expression_n and_o who_o have_v hear_v the_o like_a but_o just_a before_o in_o a_o like_a case_n i_o have_v this_o one_o thing_n more_o to_o add_v in_o this_o matter_n that_o as_o the_o jewish_a sacrament_n be_v sign_n and_o representation_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o so_o be_v common_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o what_o they_o represent_v so_o the_o inward_a blessing_n convey_v to_o they_o be_v the_o

those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n dont_fw-fr yet_o acknowledge_v and_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v know_v any_o thing_n of_o that_o doctrine_n among_o christian_n

of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n be_v meat_n and_o drink_n to_o all_o good_a people_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n

pronounce_v and_o that_o the_o call_n it_o his_o body_n make_v it_o become_v so_o which_o be_v a_o form_n of_o speech_n quite_o unknown_a to_o the_o world_n and_o i_o challenge_v they_o to_o bring_v any_o author_n either_o sacred_a or_o profane_a that_o ever_o make_v use_n of_o word_n of_o this_o kind_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n since_o therefore_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o what_o our_o saviour_n take_v into_o his_o hand_n be_v bread_n and_o that_o it_o remain_v bread_n till_o the_o speak_n of_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o since_o those_o word_n in_o their_o natural_a construction_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o effect_v any_o change_n it_o must_v remain_v bread_n still_o and_o be_v only_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o bread_n may_v be_v call_v his_o body_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o the_o lamb_n they_o eat_v of_o but_o just_a before_o be_v call_v the_o passover_n by_o be_v a_o representation_n and_o commemoration_n of_o it_o 2._o another_o argument_n i_o will_v make_v use_n of_o be_v this_o that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o by_o pronounce_v those_o word_n make_v what_o he_o give_v they_o to_o be_v his_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n because_o after_o the_o pronounce_v of_o they_o he_o call_v what_o he_o give_v in_o the_o cup_n the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vine_n very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o i_o will_v drink_v no_o more_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vine_n until_o that_o day_n that_o i_o drink_v it_o new_a in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o which_o word_n be_v contain_v these_o three_o i_o think_v plain_a reason_n which_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v wine_n and_o not_o his_o blood_n that_o he_o give_v they_o 1._o that_o he_o express_o call_v it_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vine_n and_o the_o word_n they_o say_v be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o literal_a sense_n and_o literal_o nothing_o else_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vine_n but_o wine_n at_o least_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o 2._o in_o his_o say_n that_o he_o will_v drink_v no_o more_o of_o it_o till_o he_o drink_v it_o new_a in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n it_o be_v suppose_v that_o he_o have_v heretofore_o drink_v of_o what_o he_o then_o give_v they_o but_o i_o suppose_v it_o will_v hardly_o be_v say_v that_o he_o ever_o before_o drink_v his_o own_o blood_n 3._o as_o the_o word_n suppose_v that_o he_o have_v drink_v before_o of_o what_o he_o then_o give_v they_o so_o they_o do_v that_o he_o will_v drink_v of_o it_o again_o which_o very_o likely_a must_v be_v understand_v of_o his_o eat_n and_o drink_v with_o they_o after_o his_o resurrection_n for_o then_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o new_a state_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v come_v and_o therefore_o unless_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v proper_o call_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vine_n unless_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v that_o he_o have_v drink_v his_o own_o blood_n before_o and_o do_v design_n to_o drink_v it_o afterward_o these_o word_n must_v evince_v that_o it_o be_v wine_n which_o he_o then_o give_v they_o i_o will_v not_o conceal_v that_o though_o st._n matthew_n and_o st._n mark_n recite_v the_o word_n which_o i_o have_v quote_v after_o the_o consecration_n of_o the_o cup_n yet_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n st._n luke_n recite_v they_o before_o and_o so_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o relate_v to_o a_o cup_n that_o go_v about_o the_o table_n at_o the_o paschal_n supper_n but_o this_o objection_n if_o well_o consider_v do_v rather_o the_o more_o confirm_v what_o i_o have_v be_v prove_v for_o two_o of_o the_o evangelist_n do_v place_n it_o immediate_o after_o the_o consecration_n and_o delivery_n of_o the_o sacramental_a cup_n and_o in_o they_o it_o be_v apparent_a they_o can_v refer_v to_o nothing_o else_o but_o that_o now_o if_o our_o opinion_n about_o this_o sacrament_n be_v true_a the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o evangelist_n in_o this_o case_n be_v not_o material_a as_o import_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n though_o our_o saviour_n word_n be_v report_v different_a way_n and_o so_o this_o secure_v the_o honour_n and_o authority_n of_o all_o the_o evangelist_n but_o if_o our_o saviour_n word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n understand_v they_o it_o be_v impossible_a in_o any_o tolerable_a manner_n to_o reconcile_v the_o evangelist_n for_o st._n matthew_n and_o st._n mark_n must_v upon_o this_o supposition_n not_o only_o put_v his_o word_n wrong_v together_o and_o out_o of_o that_o order_n he_o speak_v they_o but_o must_v also_o quite_o misrepresent_v his_o meaning_n and_o that_o in_o a_o point_n of_o great_a consequence_n which_o i_o believe_v can_v be_v no_o way_n consistent_a with_o the_o opinion_n which_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v always_o have_v of_o these_o gospel_n but_o i_o shall_v consider_v this_o matter_n a_o little_a more_o full_o in_o that_o which_o i_o have_v to_o urge_v in_o the_o three_o place_n 3._o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v consider_v that_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n can_v be_v understand_v literal_o because_o as_o they_o be_v recite_v by_o the_o evangelist_n they_o be_v not_o literal_o the_o same_o but_o differ_v as_o to_o the_o literal_a meaning_n very_o material_o 22.20_o mat._n 26.28_o mark_v 14.24_o luke_n 22.20_o st._n matthew_n and_o st._n mark_v in_o the_o instistution_n of_o the_o cup_n recite_v our_o saviour_n word_n thus_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o st._n luke_n recite_v they_o thus_o this_o be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n now_o from_o this_o difference_n among_o they_o i_o will_v observe_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o evangelist_n be_v so_o little_o curious_a to_o recite_v the_o very_a same_o word_n that_o our_o saviour_n speak_v can_v not_o have_v any_o notion_n of_o a_o strict_a necessity_n of_o a_o literal_a meaning_n and_o of_o such_o a_o strange_a doctrine_n which_o can_v have_v no_o foundation_n but_o in_o the_o literal_a interpretation_n of_o the_o very_a word_n that_o he_o speak_v this_o have_v be_v at_o best_a very_o strange_a negligence_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a consequence_n 2._o i_o will_v observe_v that_o if_o our_o interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n be_v true_a the_o evangelist_n be_v easy_o reconcile_v as_o agree_v in_o the_o same_o general_a sense_n though_o differ_v in_o the_o expression_n because_o both_o of_o they_o denote_v a_o commemoration_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n or_o covenant_n found_v upon_o it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o then_o very_o material_a which_o be_v place_v first_o but_o if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v take_v literaly_a its_o impossible_a ever_o to_o make_v they_o agree_v and_o so_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n must_v not_o only_o have_v misrecited_n our_o saviour_n word_n but_o quite_o have_v misunderstand_a his_o meaning_n and_o have_v do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o lead_v people_n wrong_v in_o a_o great_a point_n of_o faith_n for_o certain_o the_o true_a real_a blood_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o very_a different_a thing_n from_o the_o new_a covenant_n or_o testament_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o it_o but_o it_o will_v appear_v still_o of_o great_a consequence_n to_o keep_v to_o the_o very_a word_n which_o christ_n speak_v if_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v the_o repeat_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o effect_n the_o
