they_o heat_n and_o light_n can_v be_v saperate_v from_o the_o fire_n and_o we_o say_v with_o s._n john_n in_o his_o first_o canonical_a epistell_n that_o he_o that_o say_v he_o know_v god_n and_o

by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o so_o much_o as_o his_o grace_n find_v it_o not_o only_o wound_v &_o much_o weaken_v but_o altogether_o destitute_a of_o force_n and_o repugn_v to_o all_o good_a yea_o dead_a &_o rot_a in_o sin_n and_o corruption_n and_o therefore_o do_v we_o not_o to_o he_o so_o much_o dishonour_n as_o to_o make_v ourselves_o partner_n with_o he_o to_o who_o

belief_n be_v that_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o we_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v call_v good_a for_o that_o they_o issue_n from_o so_o good_a a_o spring_n and_o yet_o if_o god_n shall_v examine_v they_o rigorous_o there_o will_v be_v ●ounde_v matter_n enough_o and_o enough_o ●o_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o they_o we_o say_v further_o that_o they_o be_v good_a in_o another_o respect_n that_o be_v ●o_o say_v forsomuche_o as_o god_n be_v by_o they_o glorify_v man_n be_v draw_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o we_o all_o be_v assure_v

take_v upon_o i_o to_o dispute_v but_o rather_o to_o set_v forth_o short_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o our_o conference_n i_o will_v content_a myself_o to_o declare_v summarelie_o what_o we_o do_v think_v and_o hold_v therein_o we_o be_v as_o i_o take_v it_o concern_v this_o word_n sacrament_n of_o one_o accord_n to_o wit_n that_o sacrament_n be_v sign_n visible_a by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o

that_o to_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v necessary_o require_v a_o celestial_a and_o supernatural_a mutation_n for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o water_n of_o the_o holy_a baptism_n be_v simple_o water_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a sacrament_n of_o our_o regeneration_n and_o of_o the_o wash_n of_o our_o soul_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o like_a sort_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o brrad_a be_v simple_o bread_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o precious_a body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v deliver_v for_o us._n neither_o that_o wine_n be_v only_o and_o simple_o wine_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o precious_a blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o us._n but_o here_o with_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o this_o mutation_n be_v make_v in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sign_n but_o in_o the_o use_n and_o end_n for_o the_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v neither_o do_v we_o say_v that_o they_o be_v make_v by_o virtue_n of_o certain_a word_n pronounce_v neither_o by_o the_o intent_n of_o he_o that_o pronounce_v the_o same_o but_o by_o the_o only_a power_n and_o will_n of_o he_o that_o ordain_v this_o heavenly_a and_o godly_a action_n who_o ordinance_n in_o this_o behalf_n aught_o to_o be_v rehearse_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n and_o in_o such_o language_n as_o the_o assistaunte_n do_v understand_v to_o who_o it_o ought_v also_o to_o be_v plain_o expound_v to_o the_o intent_n they_o may_v understande_v it_o and_o receive_v it_o according_o and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o outward_a sign_n let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o that_o that_o be_v testify_v and_o exhibit_v of_o the_o lord_n by_o these_o sign_n we_o do_v not_o say_v

fruit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n but_o we_o do_v join_v the_o ground_n with_o the_o fruit_n that_o come_v of_o it_o say_v with_o saint_n paul_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o
