the_o supper_n take_v bread_n to_o feed_v we_o 16._o so_o in_o his_o birth_n he_o take_v our_o flesh_n to_o save_v us._n second_o as_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v take_v the_o bread_n bless_v the_o bread_n to_o make_v it_o a_o spiritual_a food_n so_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v take_v our_o flesh_n pour_v forth_o most_o rich_a and_o precious_a grace_n into_o it_o to_o make_v it_o food_n of_o life_n unto_o us._n 19_o three_o as_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v bless_v the_o bread_n break_v the_o bread_n so_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v fill_v his_o body_n with_o most_o precious_a grace_n 24._o break_v it_o up_o like_o a_o rich_a treasure_n house_n his_o hand_n by_o the_o nail_n his_o back_n by_o the_o stripe_n his_o head_n by_o the_o thorn_n his_o side_n by_o the_o spear_n that_o out_o of_o every_o hole_n a_o river_n of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n may_v issue_v &_o flow_v forth_o unto_o us._n 17._o last_o as_o christ_n give_v the_o bread_n when_o he_o have_v break_v it_o so_o christ_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n communicate_v his_o body_n after_o he_o have_v crucify_v it_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o minister_n take_v the_o bread_n to_o feed_v we_o we_o must_v conceive_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n from_o everlasting_a take_v our_o flesh_n to_o save_v us._n when_o we_o see_v the_o minister_n bless_v the_o bread_n to_o a_o holy_a use_n we_o must_v conceive_v that_o christ_n by_o unite_n the_o godhead_n unto_o it_o sanctify_v his_o flesh_n for_o our_o redemption_n when_o we_o see_v the_o minister_n break_v the_o bread_n to_o sustain_v our_o body_n we_o must_v conceive_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o death_n break_v his_o body_n to_o refresh_v our_o soul_n when_o we_o see_v the_o minister_n give_v the_o bread_n to_o our_o hand_n we_o must_v conceive_v that_o christ_n as_o true_o offer_v himself_o to_o our_o faith_n to_o be_v receive_v of_o us._n because_o upon_o these_o word_n the_o papist_n ground_v their_o transubstantiation_n that_o be_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v change_v into_o christ_n flesh_n &_o the_o wine_n be_v turn_v into_o christ_n blood_n whereby_o we_o eat_v the_o same_o body_n which_o die_v upon_o the_o cross_n

of_o this_o scripture_n how_o they_o make_v against_o transubstantiation_n that_o you_o may_v see_v they_o slay_v like_o goliath_n with_o their_o own_o sword_n 15_o even_o as_o god_n make_v caiphas_n

the_o wise_a papist_n allege_v bold_o for_o their_o transubstantiation_n 26_o but_o this_o that_o christ_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n by_o which_o they_o may_v prove_v as_o well_o 9_o that_o

note_n be_v either_o trope_n or_o figure_n or_o allegory_n or_o parable_n or_o allusion_n or_o dark_a speech_n which_o when_o they_o presume_v to_o expound_v allegoricallie_o or_o literal_o without_o

the_o scripture_n shall_v speak_v for_o heresy_n if_o it_o be_v not_o pervert_v therefore_o we_o see_v that_o 3_o eve_n never_o err_v until_o she_o corrupt_v the_o text_n now_o we_o will_v enter_v the_o lyste_n with_o our_o adversary_n transubstantiation_n and_o see_v whether_o these_o word_n do_v prove_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v turn_v into_o christ_n body_n paul_n say_v jesus_n take_v bread_n well_o then_o yet_o it_o be_v bread_n when_o he_o have_v take_v it_o than_o he_o bless_v it_o what_o do_v he_o bless_v the_o bread_n which_o he_o take_v well_o then_o yet_o it_o be_v

only_o say_v it_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n after_o the_o consecration_n in_o the_o 27._o verse_n christ_n himself_o do_v call_v it_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o he_o have_v give_v it_o as_o he_o

drink_v but_o his_o blood_n be_v not_o the_o fruit_n of_o vine_n but_o wine_n therefore_o wine_n be_v his_o drink_n and_o not_o blood_n beside_o if_o you_o will_v hear_v paul_n expound_v christ_n he_o show_v that_o all_o our_o father_n have_v the_o same_o substance_n of_o christ_n in_o their_o sacrament_n that_o we_o have_v in_o we_o for_o he_o say_v they_o all_o do_v eat_v the_o same_o spiritual_a

24._o do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o that_o be_v these_o sign_n shall_v be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o my_o death_n when_o you_o break_v the_o bread_n you_o shall_v remember_v the_o wound_n of_o

be_v not_o christ_n sacrifice_n but_o a_o remembrance_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n he_o be_v sacrifice_v before_o and_o now_o it_o be_v apply_v lest_o his_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v in_o vain_a this_o

of_o christ_n but_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o ourselves_o lest_o we_o shall_v take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n christ_n himself_o call_v it_o a_o remembrance_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n do_v this_o in_o my_o remembrance_n here_o be_v our_o work_n as_o christ_n have_v do_v so_o must_v we_o do_v so_o we_o minister_v and_o so_o you_o receive_v we_o can_v give_v you_o nothing_o but_o that_o which_o we_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o as_o paul_n say_v therefore_o if_o christ_n do_v not_o give_v his_o mortal_a body_n which_o stand_v before_o they_o and_o can_v not_o profit_v they_o nor_o his_o glorify_a body_n which_o be_v not_o glorify_v then_o and_o when_o it_o be_v glorify_v ascend_v up_o unto_o heaven_n and_o there_o abide_v how_o can_v these_o juggle_a priest_n make_v

it_o be_v a_o great_a work_n to_o make_v god_n than_o to_o make_v the_o world_n 23._o therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v when_o they_o tell_v you_o here_o be_v christ_n and_o there_o be_v christ_n believe_v they_o not_o so_o when_o they_o tell_v you_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o earth_n 17._o in_o this_o place_n and_o that_o place_n believe_v they_o not_o

many_o seek_v his_o body_n upon_o earth_n but_o as_o they_o can_v not_o find_v elias_n body_n so_o these_o can_v find_v christ_n body_n although_o they_o have_v seek_v three_o hundred_o year_n but_o if_o his_o body_n be_v upon_o earth_n as_o they_o say_v shall_v we_o handle_v it_o and_o touch_v it_o now_o it_o be_v glorify_v after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o say_v unto_o marie_n 17._o touch_v i_o not_o because_o his_o body_n be_v glorify_v that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v touch_v with_o finger_n any_o more_o but_o with_o faith_n therefore_o we_o read_v of_o none_o which_o touch_v his_o body_n after_o it_o be_v rise_v but_o only_a thomas_n to_o settle_v his_o faith_n thus_o you_o see_v we_o need_v to_o suborn_v no_o witness_n for_o every_o word_n in_o this_o text_n which_o they_o allege_v for_o transubstantiation_n do_v make_v against_o transubstantiation_n whereby_o if_o antichrist_n do_v signify_v those_o which_o be_v against_o christ_n you_o see_v who_o may_v be_v call_v

not_o a_o true_a body_n but_o a_o fantastical_a body_n because_o it_o may_v be_v in_o many_o place_n at_o one_o time_n for_o if_o his_o body_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v

that_o the_o wicked_a and_o profane_a &_o reprobate_a may_v receive_v christ_n as_o well_o as_o the_o godly_a because_o they_o have_v a_o mouth_n to_o eat_v as_o well_o as_o the_o best_a five_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n sacrifice_n once_o for_o all_o 12._o be_v not_o sufficient_a because_o we_o must_v sacrifice_v he_o again_o and_o break_v his_o body_n and_o shed_v his_o blood_n as_o the_o jew_n crucify_v he_o upon_o the_o cross_n six_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o body_n of_o our_o redeemer_n have_v a_o part_n of_o our_o redemption_n as_o

why_o he_o remember_v they_o of_o god_n mercy_n now_o he_o have_v prepare_v the_o way_n he_o commence_v his_o suit_n that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o body_n to_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o soul_n though_o he_o will_v have_v they_o give_v their_o soul_n too_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n both_o be_v too_o little_a and_o therefore_o one_o be_v not_o enough_o and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o soul_n too_o 20_o but_o here_o he_o speak_v the_o rather_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o their_o battle_n will_v be_v with_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o this_o sacrifice_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v frail_a 43._o that_o be_v the_o flesh_n will_v not_o afford_v any_o thing_n to_o god_n though_o he_o do_v never_o so_o much_o for_o she_o yet_o she_o be_v like_o churlish_a naball_n which_o will_v do_v nothing_o again_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n urge_v so_o to_o give_v the_o body_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v draw_v forward_o that_o which_o he_o draw_v backward_o and_o let_v the_o conversion_n begin_v where_o sin_n have_v his_o root_n if_o you_o can_v win_v the_o

apostle_n say_v give_v your_o body_n a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n that_o be_v you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n to_o god_n 13._o as_o if_o you_o do_v sacrifice_v they_o the_o law_n appoint_v a_o
