our_o bless_a saviour_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v you_o in_o many_o particular_n but_o there_o be_v one_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o mention_v more_o remarkable_a and_o detestable_a than_o any_o of_o those_o i_o mean_v the_o countermand_v that_o solemn_a and_o last_o command_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n after_o he_o have_v institute_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n to_o our_o endless_a comfort_n and_o command_v his_o apostle_n to_o do_v the_o same_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o take_v notice_n of_o one_o circumstance_n therein_o which_o perchance_o you_o have_v never_o yet_o observe_v and_o it_o be_v this_o when_o our_o saviour_n deliver_v the_o bread_n unto_o the_o apostle_n he_o say_v take_v eat_v this_o and_o no_o more_o but_o when_o he_o deliver_v the_o cup_n he_o give_v a_o more_o exact_a command_n for_o it_o say_v drink_v you_o all_o of_o this_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v be_v sure_a that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o partake_v of_o the_o cup_n let_v no_o one_o omit_v it_o and_o why_o so_o particular_o command_v the_o cup_n more_o than_o the_o bread_n true_o with_o great_a reason_n he_o divine_o foresee_v the_o sacrilegious_a dismember_n of_o this_o bless_a sacrament_n which_o the_o roman_a church_n will_v make_v in_o deprive_v the_o people_n of_o the_o cup._n whereas_o one_o will_v think_v this_o command_n of_o our_o die_a lord_n and_o saviour_n for_o we_o shall_v of_o all_o other_o command_v be_v most_o exact_o perform_v to_o a_o tittle_n in_o every_o point_n yet_o the_o pope_n as_o ungrateful_o as_o insolent_o presume_v to_o command_v to_o keep_v the_o cup_n from_o the_o people_n who_o can_v have_v believe_v such_o a_o insolency_n have_v not_o the_o whole_a world_n see_v it_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n he_o may_v and_o perchance_o before_o this_o time_n have_v not_o his_o high_a presume_a power_n meet_v with_o such_o opposition_n in_o germany_n will_v have_v take_v away_o the_o bread_n also_o and_o make_v the_o people_n only_a gazer_n on_o and_o admirer_n of_o the_o great_a dignity_n of_o the_o priest_n who_o alone_o be_v admit_v to_o that_o holy_a supper_n for_o so_o it_o be_v among_o they_o now_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o priest_n say_v mass_n every_o day_n but_o the_o common_a people_n general_o receive_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n but_o once_o or_o twice_o a_o year_n now_o have_v the_o pope_n take_v away_o the_o bread_n also_o he_o may_v have_v give_v the_o very_a same_o reason_n for_o that_o as_o he_o do_v for_o take_v away_o the_o cup._n they_o give_v two_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o in_o deliver_v the_o cup_n to_o many_o people_n the_o wine_n which_o they_o call_v the_o blood_n may_v be_v spill_v why_o so_o in_o give_v the_o bread_n some_o crumb_n may_v fall_v and_o they_o affirm_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v entire_o contain_v in_o the_o least_o crumb_n second_o they_o say_v the_o people_n have_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o body_n when_o they_o receive_v that_o and_o therefore_o they_o need_v it_o not_o again_o in_o the_o cup._n though_o it_o be_v apparent_a in_o scripture_n that_o our_o saviour_n give_v it_o in_o the_o cup_n apart_o to_o signify_v his_o bloodshedding_n from_o his_o body_n say_v this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v but_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o pope_n say_v otherwise_o and_o we_o must_v hearken_v to_o he_o he_o say_v it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o people_n to_o receive_v the_o blood_n in_o his_o body_n and_o so_o shall_v he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o if_o he_o alone_o receive_v the_o bread_n and_o cup_n and_o no_o other_o neither_o people_n nor_o priest_n receive_v either_o it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o the_o head_n receive_v they_o the_o head_n stand_v for_o the_o whole_a body_n the_o pope_n guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v so_o and_o then_o who_o dare_v say_v otherwise_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o if_o we_o once_o let_v go_v the_o scripture_n farewell_o all_o religion_n all_o the_o command_n of_o god_n be_v to_o small_a purpose_n what_o the_o pope_n say_v must_v be_v a_o law_n good_a lord_n deliver_v we_o the_o time_n be_v wellnigh_o past_a and_o i_o must_v hasten_v to_o a_o end_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v now_o add_v only_o a_o short_a reflection_n on_o what_o have_v be_v say_v with_o a_o word_n of_o exhortation_n in_o the_o close_a you_o have_v hear_v god_n command_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n concern_v the_o old_a

and_o in_o the_o field_n you_o have_v hear_v also_o god_n command_v to_o the_o prophet_n to_o go_v to_o all_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n to_o all_o the_o people_n and_o cry_v aloud_o to_o they_o all_o the_o day_n long_o you_o have_v hear_v our_o saviour_n command_n to_o the_o apostle_n to_o go_v and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o all_o nation_n to_o every_o creature_n you_o have_v hear_v how_o the_o apostle_n guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n direct_v their_o epistle_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o all_o the_o saint_n you_o have_v hear_v saint_n paul_n strict_o command_v his_o epistle_n to_o be_v read_v to_o all_o the_o holy_a brethren_n and_o now_o shall_v any_o man_n be_v so_o insolent_o so_o desperate_o wicked_a as_o to_o dare_v to_o control_v the_o command_n of_o god_n so_o often_o reiterated_a and_o countermand_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v shut_v up_o from_o the_o people_n man_n a_o worm_n of_o the_o earth_n thus_o to_o oppose_v his_o creator_n nay_o my_o belove_a

so_o than_o the_o romanist_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v eternal_a death_n for_o the_o people_n to_o read_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n stand_v amaze_v o_o you_o heaven_n at_o this_o if_o this_o

be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n for_o i_o have_v most_o clear_o prove_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o scripture_n dictate_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n command_v all_o to_o read_v the_o scripture_n but_o i_o hope_v they_o intend_v no_o such_o matter_n as_o blasphemy_n but_o think_v they_o have_v some_o colour_n for_o what_o they_o say_v from_o 2_o pet._n three_o 16._o where_o st._n peter_n speak_v of_o the_o unlearned_a and_o unstable_a wrest_v the_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o mark_v how_o st._n peter_n join_v unstable_a with_o unlearned_a the_o want_n of_o

wrest_v the_o scripture_n as_o well_o i_o shall_v say_v as_o ill_a as_o the_o unlearned_a but_o first_o i_o desire_v my_o pretend_v wise_a man_n to_o advise_v a_o little_a with_o st._n paul_n rom._n seven_o 10._o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o commandment_n which_o be_v ordain_v unto_o life_n he_o find_v unto_o death_n do_v he_o therefore_o lie_v aside_o the_o commandment_n god_n forbid_v the_o commandment_n be_v good_a and_o holy_a how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v he_o tell_v we_o vers_fw-la 8._o that_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o commandment_n wrought_v in_o he_o all_o

the_o commandment_n that_o wrought_v death_n in_o st._n paul_n but_o sin_n that_o be_v concupiscence_n the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v in_o he_o this_o cause_v all_o the_o evil_n and_o just_o so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o case_n it_o be_v not_o the_o scripture_n which_o cause_v heresy_n schism_n and_o division_n among_o we_o god_n forbid_v we_o shall_v say_v so_o but_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o scripture_n work_v all_o these_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n nature_n blind_v and_o deceive_v they_o the_o pride_n and_o wilfulness_n of_o their_o heart_n the_o conceit_n of_o their_o own_o holiness_n and_o godly_a understanding_n set_v they_o forward_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o common_a receive_v doctrine_n and_o to_o affect_v singularity_n and_o applause_n by_o teach_v some_o new_a thing_n then_o they_o tumble_v over_o the_o scripture_n to_o find_v out_o text_n that_o carry_v some_o colour_n for_o it_o as_o they_o fond_o conceive_v and_o have_v find_v such_o they_o present_o blaze_v abroad_o their_o new_a doctrine_n which_o the_o giddy_a unconstant_a people_n always_o fond_a of_o new_a thing_n present_o catch_v at_o and_o follow_v this_o puff_v up_o the_o teacher_n and_o set_v they_o agog_o and_o make_v they_o ready_a to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n in_o that_o behalf_n for_o this_o increase_v the_o reputation_n of_o their_o sanctity_n as_o suffer_v imprisonment_n and_o the_o like_a for_o the_o truth_n and_o at_o length_n by_o large_a contribution_n this_o come_v to_o increase_v the_o wealth_n of_o their_o purse_n also_o and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o reduce_v they_o to_o obedience_n and_o order_n now_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o scripture_n which_o cause_v all_o this_o but_o sin_n the_o spiritual_a pride_n of_o their_o heart_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o scripture_n to_o work_v in_o they_o division_n and_o heresy_n and_o though_o the_o scripture_n be_v whole_o shut_v up_o from_o they_o yet_o the_o same_o sin_n their_o spiritual_a pride_n of_o heart_n will_v cause_v the_o same_o division_n and_o heresy_n do_v not_o we_o see_v this_o daily_o happen_v to_o they_o who_o reject_v the_o scripture_n and_o walk_v by_o their_o new_a inward_a light_n which_o they_o pretend_v god_n infuse_v into_o they_o this_o make_v it_o most_o manifest_a that_o all_o our_o division_n as_o st._n paul_n say_v proceed_v from_o
