make_v all_o possible_a advantage_n of_o the_o bread_n this_o they_o say_v must_v be_v the_o lord_n body_n in_o the_o literal_a sense_n because_o he_o have_v categorical_o say_v so_o and_o since_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o as_o to_o say_v it_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n and_o therefore_o no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v quit_v the_o most_o proper_a sense_n for_o

aside_o as_o unserviceable_a all_o the_o regard_n pay_v it_o be_v but_o as_o a_o attendant_a it_o be_v conclude_v that_o since_o the_o bread_n be_v the_o lord_n body_n the_o wine_n must_v needs_o be_v his_o blood_n whether_o our_o lord_n have_v say_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o or_o any_o thing_n to_o the_o contrary_n concern_v it_o or_o no._n yet_o our_o lord_n honour_v the_o wine_n no_o less_o and_o the_o apostle_n more_o than_o the_o bread_n there_o be_v no_o valve_n that_o hinder_v the_o reflux_n but_o we_o may_v with_o the_o same_o authothority_n and_o evidence_n interpret_v that_o by_o this_o as_o this_o by_o that_o now_o if_o we_o believe_v the_o apostle_n our_o lord_n say_v not_o of_o the_o wine_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n but_o this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n and_o the_o literal_a sense_n say_v not_o more_o plain_o of_o the_o bread_n this_o be_v my_o natural_a body_n than_o it_o say_v of_o the_o wine_n this_o be_v not_o my_o natural_a blood_n if_o therefore_o they_o may_v argue_v positive_o that_o the_o wine_n must_v be_v our_o lord_n blood_n because_o the_o bread_n be_v his_o body_n we_o may_v upon_o the_o same_o evidence_n argue_v negative_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o his_o body_n but_o only_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o his_o body_n because_o the_o wine_n be_v not_o his_o blood_n but_o only_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o his_o blood_n with_o the_o favour_n therefore_o of_o our_o better_a champion_n i_o conceive_v we_o ought_v to_o learn_v as_o of_o the_o adder_n so_o of_o the_o papist_n to_o direct_v our_o blow_n to_o that_o part_n they_o be_v so_o careful_a to_o fence_v and_o restore_v the_o cup_n to_o its_o due_a office_n possible_o they_o have_v deny_v it_o its_o right_n in_o the_o people_n celebration_n out_o of_o pique_n for_o the_o ill_a office_n it_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o do_v to_o their_o belove_a doctrine_n let_v we_o restore_v it_o to_o both_o its_o right_n its_o honour_n due_a by_o our_o lord_n institution_n and_o its_o power_n of_o interpretation_n due_a by_o the_o law_n of_o reason_v we_o can_v more_o effectual_o silence_n their_o importunity_n for_o the_o literal_a sense_n than_o by_o claim_v it_o they_o who_o deny_v sense_n and_o reason_n worthy_a to_o be_v balance_v against_o the_o letter_n can_v deny_v one_o element_n to_o be_v so_o against_o the_o other_o what_o therefore_o they_o have_v put_v asunder_o if_o we_o remember_v our_o lord_n to_o have_v join_v together_o we_o can_v but_o know_v ourselves_o oblige_v to_o receive_v both_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n whether_o literal_a or_o mystical_a if_o both_o be_v to_o be_v mystical_o understand_v the_o querel_n be_v end_v between_o we_o if_o literal_o we_o make_v a_o new_a one_o between_o the_o element_n if_o one_o must_v comply_v he_o that_o have_v one_o grain_n of_o it_o will_v grant_v that_o reason_n must_v turn_v the_o scale_n on_o that_o side_n where_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v those_o who_o deny_v it_o weight_n enough_o to_o preponderate_v the_o the_o literal_a sense_n can_v deny_v it_o sufficient_a to_o turn_v aequilibrate_v scale_n so_o that_o the_o defect_n lie_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o doctor_n who_o partiality_n to_o one_o side_n above_o the_o other_o have_v make_v a_o difficulty_n which_o a_o equal_a regard_n to_o both_o side_n will_v have_v prevent_v and_o it_o be_v yet_o further_o considerable_a that_o they_o carry_v the_o same_o partiality_n towards_o that_o side_n they_o so_o favour_n for_o as_o our_o lord_n institution_n have_v two_o equal_a part_n so_o have_v their_o

they_o whole_o lay_v aside_o and_o employ_v all_o their_o endeavour_n upon_o the_o late_a which_o i_o may_v now_o insist_v upon_o as_o another_o butcherly_a abuse_n but_o i_o shall_v hereafter_o

which_o i_o expect_v to_o be_v accuse_v of_o 2._o our_o own_o divine_n therefore_o i_o can_v avoid_v impeach_v as_o guilty_a of_o the_o same_o partiality_n to_o cut_v the_o high_a part_n from_o the_o

that_o the_o 27_o depend_v as_o a_o conclusion_n upon_o the_o premise_n be_v manifest_a by_o the_o illative_a wherefore_o from_o the_o foregoing_a discourse_n therefore_o ought_v all_o the_o follow_v

the_o next_o the_o 28_o verse_n for_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n there_o make_v the_o former_a half_n the_o harbinger_n of_o the_o late_a we_o employ_v all_o our_o care_n about_o that_o and_o whole_o

sure_o must_v be_v by_o the_o same_o light_n and_o by_o contrary_a step_n if_o we_o therefore_o miss_v the_o apostle_n true_a meaning_n because_o we_o miss_v the_o true_a way_n to_o trace_v it_o
