and_o i_o live_v by_o the_o father_n so_o he_o that_o eat_v i_o even_o he_o shall_v live_v by_o i_o this_o be_v that_o bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n not_o as_o your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n and_o be_v dead_a he_o that_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o where_o our_o saviour_n give_v the_o reason_n why_o those_o who_o eat_v he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o because_o he_o himself_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o though_o he_o must_v die_v he_o be_v to_o rise_v again_o into_o a_o immortal_a life_n and_o a_o eternal_a kingdom_n as_o the_o reward_n of_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n and_o therefore_o this_o holy_a feast_n be_v a_o certain_a earnest_n of_o immortality_n to_o those_o who_o feed_v on_o he_o and_o we_o need_v not_o indeed_o doubt_v this_o since_o it_o convey_v the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o we_o as_o st._n paul_n tell_v the_o roman_n but_o if_o the_o 11._o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o you_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a shall_v also_o quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n by_o his_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o you_o but_o possible_o some_o may_v object_v that_o all_o this_o which_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a supper_n we_o receive_v at_o our_o baptism_n the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o promise_n and_o earnest_n of_o immortality_n for_o so_o we_o be_v baptise_a for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o we_o be_v baptize_v as_o well_o as_o 13._o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n and_o those_o who_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n have_v put_v on_o christ_n and_o we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n into_o death_n that_o like_a as_o christ_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a by_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n so_o we_o also_o shall_v walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n for_o if_o we_o have_v be_v plant_v together_o in_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o death_n we_o shall_v be_v also_o in_o the_o likeness_n of_o 5._o his_o resurrection_n now_o all_o this_o i_o grant_v to_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o baptism_n not_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v our_o regeneration_n or_o new_a birth_n we_o be_v raise_v into_o a_o new_a life_n be_v renew_v and_o sanctify_v at_o our_o baptism_n and_o have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n bestow_v on_o we_o as_o the_o author_n and_o principle_n of_o a_o new_a life_n but_o the_o continuance_n of_o this_o grace_n and_o the_o daily_a assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n especial_o when_o we_o have_v grieve_v he_o and_o make_v he_o withdraw_v from_o we_o by_o our_o sin_n depend_v upon_o our_o diligent_a attendance_n at_o the_o table_n of_o our_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n unless_o he_o have_v constant_a food_n to_o preserve_v his_o life_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o new_a creature_n and_o therefore_o the_o supper_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v bread_n and_o wine_n the_o stay_n and_o support_v of_o life_n to_o signify_v to_o we_o that_o these_o supply_n of_o grace_n which_o we_o receive_v at_o this_o feast_n be_v as_o necessary_a to_o our_o spiritual_a life_n as_o our_o daily_a food_n be_v to_o the_o support_n of_o a_o bodily_a life_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n call_v himself_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n of_o which_o the_o manna_n be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n now_o we_o know_v manna_n be_v their_o constant_a food_n the_o only_a bread_n they_o have_v which_o signify_v that_o this_o heavenly_a manna_n be_v the_o daily_a support_n of_o our_o spiritual_a life_n and_o therefore_o we_o know_v the_o ancient_a father_n by_o our_o daily_a bread_n in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n do_v general_o understand_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o they_o call_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o the_o bread_n of_o god_n all_o which_o may_v convince_v we_o from_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o institution_n that_o frequent_a communione_n be_v as_o necessary_a to_o our_o spiritual_a growth_n and_o increase_n in_o holiness_n to_o repair_v the_o decay_n of_o our_o grace_n and_o to_o renew_v our_o strength_n and_o vigour_n in_o serve_v god_n and_o to_o procure_v the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n after_o a_o relapse_n and_o to_o call_v back_o the_o holy_a spirit_n when_o he_o be_v withdraw_v from_o we_o as_o bread_n be_v to_o keep_v our_o body_n in_o constant_a repair_n and_o do_v man_n love_v their_o soul_n as_o they_o do_v their_o body_n they_o will_v no_o more_o neglect_v the_o supper_n of_o our_o lord_n than_o their_o daily_a food_n 4._o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v the_o principal_a part_n of_o christian_a communion_n and_o therefore_o as_o necessary_a as_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o debar_v any_o person_n from_o the_o lord_n table_n be_v to_o shut_v they_o out_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o they_o be_v never_o restore_v to_o full_a communion_n till_o they_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o communion_n of_o this_o holy_a feast_n while_o discipline_n be_v preserve_v in_o its_o glory_n and_o vigour_n in_o the_o ancient_a church_n no_o christian_a dare_v turn_v his_o back_n upon_o the_o table_n of_o our_o lord_n as_o nine_o part_n in_o ten_o now_o often_o do_v indeed_o they_o can_v not_o well_o communicate_v as_o faithful_a christian_a people_n without_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n the_o catechuman_n and_o penitent_n be_v admit_v to_o public_a instruction_n and_o to_o such_o prayer_n as_o be_v proper_a for_o they_o but_o they_o be_v dismiss_v when_o that_o be_v do_v and_o not_o admit_v to_o be_v present_a at_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o faithful_a who_o be_v in_o full_a peace_n and_o communion_n with_o the_o church_n the_o principal_a part_n of_o which_o be_v the_o holy_a supper_n indeed_o st._n paul_n attribute_n the_o union_n of_o christian_n in_o one_o body_n to_o christ_n to_o this_o holy_a feast_n he_o call_v the_o cup_n the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o bread_n the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o assign_v this_o as_o one_o reason_n of_o it_o for_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n 17._o and_o one_o body_n for_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o that_o one_o bread_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o we_o be_v unite_v to_o each_o other_o by_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o bread_n for_o we_o be_v one_o bread_n as_o well_o as_o one_o body_n which_o place_v christian_a unity_n in_o a_o joint_a participation_n of_o this_o holy_a feast_n this_o also_o unite_v we_o to_o christ_n make_v we_o his_o body_n because_o we_o all_o feed_v on_o his_o body_n the_o church_n be_v his_o body_n as_o be_v feed_v and_o nourish_v with_o his_o body_n which_o both_o show_v we_o how_o necessary_a the_o peace_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o give_v we_o a_o interest_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a supper_n and_o this_o must_v be_v celebrate_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n and_o withal_o how_o essential_a this_o holy_a supper_n be_v to_o christian_a communion_n as_o unite_n we_o all_o to_o christ_n in_o one_o body_n for_o shame_v then_o let_v not_o those_o man_n cry_v out_o against_o schism_n and_o schismatic_n who_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o part_n of_o christian_a communion_n which_o be_v most_o essential_a to_o christianity_n it_o be_v a_o much_o less_o evil_a not_o to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n together_o nay_o sometime_o not_o to_o pray_v together_o than_o to_o join_v in_o all_o other_o part_n of_o worship_n but_o to_o break_v company_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n where_o if_o ever_o they_o ought_v to_o appear_v as_o one_o body_n and_o one_o bread_n to_o set_v up_o altar_n against_o altar_n be_v somewhat_o worse_o be_v a_o great_a and_o more_o incurable_a schism_n than_o to_o absent_v ourselves_o from_o the_o lord_n table_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v excuse_v those_o man_n from_o be_v schismatic_n who_o live_v in_o a_o habitual_a neglect_n of_o so_o necessary_a a_o part_n of_o christian_a communion_n and_o can_v the_o ancient_a discipline_n of_o the_o church_n be_v revive_v such_o man_n shall_v know_v that_o christian_a communion_n in_o any_o religious_a office_n be_v a_o privilege_n which_o they_o do_v not_o deserve_v and_o which_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v have_v thus_o explain_v our_o obligation_n to_o frequent_a communion_n in_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n which_o i_o judge_v so_o plain_a and_o evident_a that_o no_o honest_a impartial_a inquirer_n can_v resist_v the_o evidence_n of_o they_o and_o of_o such_o great_a weight_n and_o moment_n that_o no_o

and_o which_o have_v be_v own_v in_o all_o succeed_a age_n of_o the_o church_n till_o our_o day_n do_v as_o certain_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o religion_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v as_o if_o we_o have_v hear_v god_n speak_v in_o a_o audible_a voice_n from_o heaven_n to_o we_o and_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o believe_v whatever_o he_o have_v reveal_v though_o we_o can_v perfect_o understand_v all_o the_o difficulty_n of_o it_o and_o when_o we_o have_v once_o embrace_v christianity_n we_o have_v the_o write_n of_o the_o evangelist_n and_o
