of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o bread_n in_o baptism_n we_o partake_v of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o do_v the_o same_o in_o that_o as_o babe_n in_o this_o as_o man_n in_o christ_n so_o that_o what_o effect_n be_v affirm_v of_o one_o the_o same_o be_v in_o great_a measure_n true_a of_o the_o other_o they_o be_v but_o several_a round_n of_o jacob_n ladder_n reach_v up_o to_o heaven_n upon_o which_o the_o angel_n ascend_v and_o descend_v and_o the_o lord_n sit_v upon_o the_o top_n and_o because_o the_o sacrament_n evangelical_n be_v of_o the_o like_a kind_n of_o mystery_n with_o the_o sacrament_n of_o old_a from_o they_o we_o can_v understand_v that_o even_o sign_n of_o secret_a grace_n do_v exhibit_v as_o well_o as_o signify_v for_o beside_o that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a analogy_n between_o the_o ablution_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o purification_n of_o the_o soul_n between_o eat_v the_o holy_a bread_n and_o drink_v the_o sacred_a calice_n and_o a_o participation_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v also_o in_o the_o method_n of_o the_o divine_a oeconomy_n to_o dispense_v the_o grace_n which_o himself_o signify_v in_o a_o ceremony_n of_o his_o own_o institution_n thus_o at_o the_o unction_n of_o king_n priest_n and_o of_o prophet_n the_o sacred_a power_n be_v bestow_v and_o as_o a_o canon_n be_v invest_v in_o his_o dignity_n by_o the_o tradition_n of_o a_o book_n dui_o and_o a_o abbot_n by_o his_o staff_n a_o bishop_n by_o a_o ring_n they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o st._n bernard_n so_o be_v division_n of_o grace_n impart_v to_o the_o diverse_a sacrament_n and_o therefore_o although_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v that_o when_o in_o scripture_n and_o the_o write_n of_o the_o holy_a doctor_n of_o the_o church_n the_o collation_n of_o grace_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o sign_n it_o be_v by_o a_o metonymy_n and_o a_o sacramental_a manner_n of_o speak_v yet_o it_o be_v also_o a_o synecdoche_n of_o the_o part_n for_o the_o whole_a because_o both_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o grace_n be_v join_v in_o the_o lawful_a and_o holy_a use_n of_o they_o by_o sacramental_a union_n or_o rather_o by_o a_o confederation_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o holy_a covenant_n our_o heart_n be_v purify_v by_o faith_n and_o so_o our_o conscience_n be_v also_o make_v clean_o in_o the_o cestern_a of_o water_n by_o faith_n we_o be_v save_v 15.9_o and_o yet_o he_o have_v sau●d_v we_o by_o the_o laver_n of_o regeneration_n 5.26_o and_o they_o be_v both_o join_v together_o by_o st._n paul_n christ_n give_v himself_o for_o his_o church_n that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v and_o cleanse_v it_o with_o the_o wash_n of_o water_n by_o the_o word_n that_o be_v plain_o by_o the_o sacrament_n according_a to_o the_o famous_a commentary_n of_o st._n austin_n accedat_fw-la verbum_fw-la ad_fw-la elementum_fw-la &_o tum_fw-la fit_a sacramentum_fw-la when_o the_o word_n and_o the_o element_n be_v join_v than_o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a sacrament_n and_o then_o it_o do_v effect_v all_o its_o purpose_n and_o intention_n thus_o we_o find_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v give_v by_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n 26._o and_o yet_o as_o austin_n right_o affirm_v god_n alone_o can_v give_v his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o they_o upon_o who_o they_o lay_v their_o hand_n but_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v give_v it_o and_o he_o do_v so_o at_o the_o imposition_n of_o their_o hand_n 8.18_o thus_o god_n sanctify_v aaron_n and_o yet_o he_o say_v to_o moses_n thou_o shall_v sanctify_v aaron_n that_o be_v not_o that_o moses_n do_v it_o instead_o of_o god_n but_o moses_n do_v it_o by_o his_o ministry_n 84._o and_o by_o visible_a sacrament_n and_o rite_n of_o god_n appointment_n and_o though_o we_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o immortal_a seed_n by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o live_a god_n yet_o st._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o corinthian_n i_o have_v beget_v you_o through_o the_o gospel_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o great_a as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o least_o he_o that_o drink_v christ_n blood_n and_o eat_v his_o body_n have_v life_n abide_v in_o he_o it_o be_v true_a of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o true_a of_o the_o spiritual_a manducation_n and_o may_v be_v indifferent_o affirm_v of_o either_o when_o the_o other_o be_v not_o exclude_v for_o as_o the_o sacrament_n operate_v only_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o the_o spirit_n ordinary_o work_v by_o the_o instrumentality_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o by_o hear_v as_o that_o grace_n be_v not_o by_o the_o sacrament_n for_o as_o without_o the_o spirit_n the_o word_n be_v but_o a_o dead_a letter_n so_o with_o the_o spirit_n the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o life_n and_o grace_n and_o the_o meditation_n of_o st._n chrysostom_n be_v very_o pious_a and_o reasonable_a if_o we_o be_v whole_o incorporeal_a god_n will_v have_v give_v we_o grace_n unclothe_v with_o sign_n and_o sacrament_n but_o because_o our_o spirit_n be_v in_o earthen_a vessel_n god_n convey_v his_o grace_n to_o we_o by_o sensible_a ministration_n the_o word_n of_o god_n operate_v as_o secret_o as_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o sacrament_n as_o powerful_o as_o the_o word_n nay_o the_o word_n be_v always_o join_v in_o the_o worthy_a administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o therefore_o operate_v both_o as_o word_n and_o sign_n by_o the_o ear_n and_o by_o the_o eye_n and_o by_o both_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o spirit_n effect_v all_o that_o god_n intend_v and_o that_o a_o faithful_a receiver_n can_v require_v and_o pray_v for_o for_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n be_v continue_v act_n they_o be_v like_o the_o issue_n of_o a_o fountain_n into_o its_o receptacle_n god_n be_v always_o give_v and_o we_o be_v always_o receive_v and_o the_o signal_n effect_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n sometime_o give_v great_a indication_n but_o most_o common_o come_v without_o observation_n and_o therefore_o in_o these_o thing_n we_o must_v not_o discourse_v as_o in_o the_o conduct_n of_o o●her_a cause_n and_o operation_n natural_a for_o although_o in_o natural_a effect_n we_o can_v argue_v from_o the_o cause_n to_o the_o event_n yet_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n we_o be_v to_o reckon_v only_o from_o the_o sign_n to_o the_o event_n and_o the_o sign_n of_o grace_n we_o be_v to_o place_n in_o stead_n of_o natural_a cause_n because_o a_o sacrament_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v a_o proclamation_n of_o his_o grace_n he_o than_o give_v we_o notice_n that_o the_o spring_n of_o heaven_n be_v open_v and_o then_o be_v the_o time_n to_o draw_v live_v water_n from_o the_o fountain_n of_o salvation_n when_o jonathan_n shoot_v his_o arrow_n beyond_o the_o boy_n he_o then_o by_o a_o sacrament_n send_v salvation_n unto_o david_n he_o bid_v he_o be_v go_v and_o fly_v from_o his_o father_n wrath_n and_o although_o jonathan_n do_v do_v his_o business_n for_o he_o by_o a_o continual_a care_n and_o observation_n yet_o that_o symbol_n bring_v it_o unto_o david_n for_o so_o be_v we_o conduct_v to_o the_o joy_n of_o god_n by_o the_o method_n and_o possibility_n of_o man_n in_o conclusion_n the_o sum_n be_v this_o the_o sacrament_n and_o symbol_n if_o they_o be_v consider_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v just_o such_o as_o they_o seem_v water_n and_o bread_n and_o wine_n they_o retain_v the_o name_n proper_a to_o their_o own_o nature_n but_o because_o they_o be_v make_v to_o be_v sign_n of_o a_o secret_a mystery_n and_o water_n be_v the_o symbol_n of_o purification_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o sin_n and_o bread_n and_o wine_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n therefore_o the_o symbol_n and_o sacrament_n receive_v the_o name_n of_o what_o themselves_o do_v sign_n 〈◊〉_d they_o be_v the_o body_n and_o they_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v metonymical_o such_o but_o because_o yet_o further_o they_o be_v instrument_n of_o grace_n in_o
