true_a form_n or_o the_o true_a shape_n or_o the_o true_a likeness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v represent_v in_o the_o glass_n a_o glass_n must_v be_v both_o true_a and_o clear_a it_o must_v be_v true_a that_o it_o may_v not_o cast_v a_o false_a shadow_n upon_o we_o not_o to_o reflect_v another_o manner_n of_o shadow_n than_o be_v cast_v upon_o it_o it_o must_v be_v clear_a that_o the_o true_a object_n that_o it_o do_v represent_v may_v be_v clear_o and_o lively_o represent_v unto_o we_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o glass_n it_o must_v be_v a_o true_a glass_n and_o a_o clear_a glass_n what_o be_v the_o object_n represent_v by_o it_o the_o principal_a object_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o be_v resemble_v unto_o we_o in_o it_o be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n then_o consider_v the_o object_n that_o be_v to_o be_v see_v and_o behold_v in_o this_o glass_n be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o glass_n wherein_o this_o be_v to_o be_v behold_v a_o glass_n must_v be_v true_a and_o clear_a and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v clear_o and_o plain_o and_o lively_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a object_n there_o to_o be_v consider_v again_o sacrament_n we_o know_v be_v teach_v sign_n figne_n ordain_v of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v teacher_n unto_o we_o and_o teacher_n you_o know_v must_v speak_v plain_o they_o must_v speak_v teachable_o they_o must_v deliver_v the_o matter_n with_o a_o lively_a voice_n so_o as_o it_o may_v be_v best_a know_v

the_o lord_n supper_n must_v teach_v the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n lively_a and_o clear_o and_o so_o must_v be_v a_o through_o show_v forth_o of_o christ_n death_n reason_n 2_o a_o second_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o word_n with_o the_o sacrament_n the_o word_n that_o show_v forth_o christ_n lively_a
at_o any_o time_n forget_v we_o this_o shall_v and_o must_v persuade_v we_o to_o make_v the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o continual_a remembrance_n reason_n 2_o second_o god_n always_o

always_o oh_o how_o ought_v we_o to_o remember_v christ_n death_n always_o too_o it_o be_v true_a god_n can_v be_v say_v proper_o to_o remember_v any_o thing_n because_o remembrance_n be_v of_o

to_o be_v do_v and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v frequent_v or_o do_v often_o of_o the_o part_n of_o this_o action_n we_o have_v speak_v before_o wherein_o we_o note_v first_o that_o the_o nature_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n consist_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n because_o the_o apostle_n describe_v the_o sacrament_n by_o the_o use_n of_o it_o second_o we_o note_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o element_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o be_v call_v by_o their_o own_o name_n after_o the_o word_n of_o blessing_n and_o therefore_o for_o substance_n they_o be_v the_o same_o creature_n as_o before_o three_o they_o be_v as_o i_o show_v set_v forth_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n though_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o nature_n they_o be_v the_o same_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o use_n they_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o any_o other_o last_o he_o couple_n they_o together_o as_o oft_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n thence_o we_o note_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o to_o be_v administer_v in_o one_o kind_n only_o but_o in_o both_o in_o the_o bread_n and_o in_o the_o wine_n and_o not_o in_o the_o bread_n without_o the_o wine_n nor_o in_o wine_n without_o the_o bread_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o part_n of_o this_o action_n the_o other_o branch_n follow_v namely_o the_o frequent_v or_o often_o performance_n of_o the_o action_n in_o these_o word_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o

and_o oft_o perform_v we_o must_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n and_o that_o ofttimes_o it_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n that_o this_o church_n of_o

sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 17._o and_o 18._o verse_n tell_v they_o of_o thing_n general_o amiss_o in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o the_o 20._o verse_n he_o give_v instance_n in_o this_o particular_a namely_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n mark_v the_o word_n when_o you_o come_v together_o therefore_o into_o one_o place_n this_o be_v not_o to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n the_o word_n do_v sound_a to_o this_o effect_n that_o usual_o when_o the_o corinthian_n come_v together_o in_o the_o church-assembly_n they_o do_v eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n howsoever_o they_o do_v much_o misdemeane_n and_o miscarry_v themselves_o in_o this_o holy_a action_n that_o they_o do_v not_o carry_v themselves_o so_o to_o god_n glory_n norwith_o

disorderly_o one_o before_o another_o yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o receive_v that_o be_v usual_a among_o they_o the_o apostle_n take_v this_o for_o a_o thing_n grant_v that_o

and_o withal_o he_o be_v perfect_o man_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n of_o these_o two_o nature_n his_o godhead_n and_o his_o manhood_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n christ_n

plain_a christ_n i_o say_v be_v perfect_o god_n or_o lord_n and_o perfect_o man_n and_o because_o that_o these_o two_o nature_n his_o godhead_n and_o his_o manhood_n be_v so_o near_o unite_v into_o

all_o these_o shall_v not_o help_v we_o but_o still_o we_o be_v unworthy_a receiver_n so_o we_o be_v in_o ourselves_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v still_o repute_v of_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o benefit_n that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o shall_v turn_v to_o our_o judgement_n and_o condemnation_n because_o we_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o we_o do_v fail_v in_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o be_v tender_v unto_o we_o namely_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n those_o place_n shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o point_n out_o of_o scripture_n now_o to_o confirm_v it_o further_o by_o reason_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v many_o reason_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o comparison_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n with_o the_o state_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n they_o do_v all_o tend_v chief_o and_o pricipal_o to_o this_o end_n that_o therein_o and_o thereby_o the_o believer_n may_v be_v lead_v on_o to_o enter_v into_o a_o more_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n jesus_n for_o so_o the_o lord_n intend_v they_o and_o ordain_v those_o sacrifice_n and_o sacrament_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o for_o that_o very_a end_n and_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o so_o the_o faithful_a do_v make_v use_n of_o they_o from_o time_n to_o time_n never_o any_o believer_n under_o the_o state_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n that_o bring_v his_o beast_n his_o bull_n and_o his_o goat_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v for_o sin_n that_o rest_v in_o they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v sacrifice_n powerful_a and_o effectual_a to_o take_v away_o sin_n no_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 10_o to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o blood_n of_o beast_n shall_v take_v away_o sin_n and_o that_o the_o faithful_a know_v well_o enough_o but_o yet_o they_o submit_v themselves_o to_o those_o ordinance_n because_o they_o be_v god_n law_n but_o still_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o they_o aim_v at_o in_o all_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o death_n of_o the_o messiah_n that_o be_v to_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o the_o perfect_a purge_v away_o of_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o passeover_n there_o be_v never_o any_o true_a believer_n that_o do_v eat_v of_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n but_o still_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o true_a lamb_n of_o god_n that_o be_v slay_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o as_o that_o paschall_n lamb_n be_v a_o memorial_n of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o pharaoh_n so_o the_o true_a lamb_n of_o god_n namely_o the_o son_n of_o god_n
remission_n of_o sin_n remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o benefit_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o only_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 1._o of_o john_n 11.7_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n on_o the_o other_o side_n in_o hebr._n 9.22_o where_o there_o be_v no_o shed_n of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n then_o consider_v of_o it_o there_o be_v no_o purchase_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n but_o by_o his_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o obtain_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o we_o but_o only_o by_o participate_v or_o by_o communicate_v in_o the_o blood_n or_o death_n of_o christ_n jesus_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o communicate_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o sacrament_n except_o we_o partake_v of_o it_o and_o seize_v upon_o it_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a matter_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n if_o so_o be_v that_o in_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o come_v with_o our_o heart_n sprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n why_o then_o we_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o whole_a benefit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n remission_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o we_o do_v not_o come_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o sprinkle_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o do_v not_o seize_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n we_o have_v no_o

his_o blood_n have_v be_v shed_v for_o we_o and_o so_o we_o can_v never_o have_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o redemption_n without_o his_o blood_n be_v sprinkle_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o we_o take_v fast_o hold_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o use_v of_o the_o doctrine_n be_v these_o use_v 1_o the_o first_o be_v this_o this_o yield_v we_o matter_n of_o reproof_n of_o divers_a that_o do_v come_v unto_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n they_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n but_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o come_v about_o alas_o as_o solomon_n say_v eccles._n 4.17_o such_o man_n do_v but_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n they_o do_v not_o know_v they_o do_v evil_a they_o do_v but_o

do_v not_o receive_v the_o holy_a thing_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n they_o know_v not_o that_o they_o make_v themselves_o guilty_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o faith_n christ_n he_o be_v tender_v unto_o they_o but_o they_o know_v not_o that_o they_o do_v eat_v their_o own_o

they_o unto_o they_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n they_o know_v not_o that_o they_o do_v evil_a i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o comparison_n if_o so_o be_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v go_v into_o the_o market_n to_o fetch_v such_o and_o such_o commodity_n that_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o he_o make_v himself_o ready_a and_o go_v forth_o and_o make_v full_a account_n to_o bring_v they_o

like_o to_o come_v home_o as_o foolish_a and_o as_o empty_a as_o he_o go_v out_o it_o be_v so_o with_o many_o of_o our_o communicant_n many_o here_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n for_o what_o forsooth_o to_o furnish_v themselves_o with_o such_o and_o such_o commodity_n for_o to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o to_o receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o grace_n and_o comfort_n and_o such_o like_a these_o they_o come_v to_o receive_v i_o but_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o price_n of_o these_o thing_n what_o be_v that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o these_o thing_n cost_n christ_n jesus_n his_o most_o precious_a blood_n they_o do_v not_o bring_v faith_n in_o their_o heart_n whereby_o to_o purchase_v and_o get_v these_o thing_n for_o themselves_o therefore_o such_o man_n go_v away_o as_o foolish_a and_o ridiculous_a and_o as_o empty_a of_o grace_n as_o ever_o they_o be_v before_o yea_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o damnable_a because_o they_o come_v thus_o unfurnished_v it_o be_v with_o many_o of_o we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o jew_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o 2._o to_o the_o

the_o sacrifice_n the_o ceremony_n and_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v i_o but_o say_v the_o apostle_n they_o can_v not_o look_v unto_o the_o end_n they_o can_v not_o look_v unto_o the_o substance_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v tender_v unto_o they_o in_o this_o outward_a shadow_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o can_v not_o look_v upon_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o no_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o be_v a_o veil_n over_o their_o heart_n and_o to_o this_o day_n they_o continue_v in_o their_o hardness_n so_o i_o say_v it_o

we_o do_v not_o look_v to_o the_o end_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o the_o substance_n that_o be_v tender_v unto_o we_o in_o these_o holy_a mystery_n namely_o to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n we_o do_v not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n there_o be_v a_o veil_n over_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o of_o we_o a_o cover_n of_o blindness_n over_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o of_o we_o therefore_o though_o we_o do_v come_v often_o this_o month_n and_o the_o next_o month_n yet_o still_o we_o continue_v in_o the_o hardness_n of_o our_o heart_n we_o be_v never_o the_o better_a till_o this_o veil_n be_v take_v away_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o jew_n till_o this_o veil_n be_v take_v away_o by_o christ_n till_o christ_n jesus_n do_v take_v away_o this_o veil_n of_o blindness_n and_o show_v they_o his_o death_n and_o present_v his_o death_n unto_o they_o and_o cause_v they_o to_o look_v upon_o he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v till_o such_o time_n that_o this_o veil_n be_v take_v away_o and_o that_o he_o present_v his_o death_n to_o their_o heart_n by_o his_o spirit_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v the_o better_a for_o it_o they_o do_v continue_v in_o their_o hardness_n and_o they_o shall_v
