they_o more_o heedful_a of_o what_o he_o say_v he_o preface_v v_o 19_o and_o then_o argue_v not_o thus_o they_o that_o partake_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v make_v one_o ecclesiastical_a body_n by_o way_n of_o analogy_n with_o the_o like_a in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n yea_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o then_o the_o conclusion_n to_o be_v prove_v shall_v be_v we_o be_v one_o body_n ecclesiastical_a at_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o gentile_n shall_v be_v the_o medium_n to_o prove_v it_o which_o have_v be_v ursi_fw-la for_o such_o a_o proof_n nor_o in_o any_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v use_v to_o that_o end_n for_o how_o inept_v a_o argument_n have_v this_o be_v the_o gentile_n in_o their_o sacrifice_n have_v

be_v thus_o as_o mr._n blake_n make_v it_o we_o be_v one_o body_n ecclesiastical_a who_o partake_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n therefore_o in_o gentile_a sacrifice_n we_o communicate_v with_o idol_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v a_o circle_n in_o this_o proof_n by_o the_o gentile_n sacrifice_n to_o prove_v we_o be_v one_o body_n ecclesiastical_a in_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o thence_o to_o

be_v prove_v rest_v on_o this_o general_a maxim_n they_o have_v fellowship_n with_o a_o true_a or_o suppose_a deity_n who_o partake_v of_o his_o service_n and_o this_o the_o apostle_n prove_v to_o be_v true_a by_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o christian_n and_o the_o israelite_n v_o 16_o 17_o 18._o i_o know_v sundry_a protestant_a expositor_n make_v the_o argument_n to_o be_v thus_o you_o may_v not_o partake_v of_o the_o idol_n banquet_n because_o you_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o i_o conceive_v this_o not_o right_a for_o v_o 16_o 17._o the_o apostle_n medium_n be_v not_o from_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n what_o they_o do_v or_o duty_n what_o they_o be_v to_o do_v but_o from_o the_o tendence_n of_o their_o action_n in_o common_a construction_n and_o

the_o apostle_n allege_v the_o israelite_n partake_v of_o their_o altar_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n to_o which_o he_o have_v use_v the_o former_a v_o 16_o 17._o now_o the_o christian_n neither_o

jew_n and_o gentile_n eat_v of_o their_o sacrifice_n do_v agree_v that_o these_o action_n testify_v their_o fellowship_n with_o that_o lord_n for_o who_o these_o service_n be_v perform_v and_o

to_o prove_v any_o duty_n in_o a_o christian_a rite_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n from_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n since_o it_o be_v by_o his_o own_o confession_n even_o from_o the_o gentile_n
