serviceableness_n one_o to_o another_o as_o member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n he_o assure_v they_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n which_o i_o have_v choose_v that_o they_o be_v indeed_o member_n

they_o be_v one_o in_o christ_n who_o profess_v his_o faith_n and_o be_v by_o baptism_n admit_v into_o his_o church_n and_o this_o union_n of_o one_o to_o another_o under_o christ_n be_v testify_v and_o declare_v by_o their_o communion_n in_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o by_o one_o spirit_n they_o be_v baptize_v into_o this_o one_o body_n and_o be_v all_o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v give_v in_o baptism_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a who_o do_v not_o receive_v unprofitable_a sign_n but_o one_o as_o well_o as_o another_o receive_v the_o quicken_a grace_n of_o god_n to_o make_v they_o live_v member_n of_o that_o one_o body_n so_o that_o although_o there_o be_v a_o diversity_n and_o a_o inequality_n in_o the_o spiritual_a gift_n that_o be_v distribute_v among_o the_o faithful_a in_o those_o day_n yet_o they_o be_v all_o equal_o

explain_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n with_o the_o relation_n it_o have_v to_o the_o design_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o chapter_n that_o which_o remain_v be_v to_o speak_v to_o the_o particular_a design_n of_o the_o text_n which_o be_v to_o show_v that_o christian_n be_v one_o body_n or_o society_n of_o man_n and_o wherein_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n consist_v and_o what_o our_o part_n be_v to_o maintain_v it_o and_o how_o we_o may_v in_o this_o divide_a state_n of_o christianity_n be_v satisfy_v that_o we_o be_v within_o that_o unity_n before_o i_o enter_v upon_o which_o i_o may_v well_o make_v two_o observation_n upon_o the_o text_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o this_o our_o church_n of_o england_n 1._o that_o st._n paul_n think_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o two_o institution_n of_o our_o saviour_n viz._n baptism_n and_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o holy_a table_n be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n that_o believer_n be_v one_o body_n and_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o if_o he_o have_v know_v there_o be_v other_o sacrament_n or_o outward_a badge_n of_o christian_a profession_n institute_v by_o christ_n for_o the_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n he_o will_v not_o have_v omit_v the_o mention_n of_o they_o here_o where_o he_o prove_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n by_o baptism_n and_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o know_v that_o the_o evangelist_n mention_v no_o other_o outward_a sign_n and_o visible_a token_n of_o our_o profession_n and_o god_n grace_n but_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o it_o be_v something_o to_o our_o purpose_n that_o st._n paul_n own_v no_o more_o than_o these_o where_o he_o industrious_o prove_v that_o christian_n be_v one_o body_n by_o these_o 2._o i_o observe_v that_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o lord_n table_n be_v describe_v by_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n i._n e._n by_o one_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o sometime_o it_o be_v by_o the_o other_o of_o break_v of_o bread_n but_o then_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a from_o such_o expression_n than_o that_o one_o part_n or_o kind_n be_v as_o necessary_a as_o the_o other_o because_o sometime_o one_o sometime_o the_o other_o be_v put_v for_o both_o which_o have_v be_v against_o all_o rule_n of_o speak_v if_o it_o have_v be_v allowable_a to_o separate_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o but_o as_o to_o that_o of_o drink_v the_o cup_n it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o it_o belong_v to_o all_o for_o say_v st._n paul_n we_o have_v all_o be_v make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n all_o who_o all_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n only_a no_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n whether_o jew_n or_o gentile_n bond_n or_o free_a but_o now_o if_o st._n paul_n have_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o the_o christian_a people_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n in_o the_o communion_n but_o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o to_o have_v receive_v the_o bread_n only_o can_v we_o think_v that_o he_o will_v have_v describe_v their_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n by_o receive_v a_o part_n of_o it_o which_o do_v not_o necessary_o belong_v to_o they_o and_o not_o rather_o by_o that_o which_o do_v i_o do_v not_o make_v this_o observation_n to_o prove_v only_o that_o the_o people_n do_v at_o first_o universal_o receive_v the_o cup_n for_o that_o be_v not_o deny_v by_o any_o but_o by_o those_o who_o have_v dispute_v themselves_o out_o of_o all_o modesty_n and_o even_o these_o may_v be_v convince_v beyond_o all_o doubt_n by_o this_o very_a place_n that_o all_o the_o faithful_a in_o st._n paul_n day_n receive_v the_o cup_n for_o otherwise_o how_o can_v he_o with_o truth_n have_v say_v that_o they_o have_v be_v all_o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n but_o that_o which_o i_o chief_o observe_v be_v this_o that_o though_o the_o faithful_a do_v in_o those_o day_n drink_v as_o well_o as_o eat_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n yet_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v know_v and_o sure_o he_o know_v it_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o however_o it_o be_v the_o practice_n then_o yet_o it_o may_v without_o injury_n be_v alter_v in_o after_o time_n he_o will_v not_o have_v use_v a_o argument_n to_o satisfy_v the_o faithful_a of_o his_o time_n that_o they_o all_o bolonge_v to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o may_v afterwise_o be_v quite_o out_o of_o door_n viz._n when_o the_o church_n shall_v please_v to_o alter_v the_o institution_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o he_o will_v rather_o have_v insist_v upon_o receive_v in_o that_o kind_n which_o can_v not_o be_v just_o take_v away_o from_o they_o and_o have_v say_v that_o all_o have_v be_v baptize_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n or_o make_v member_n of_o his_o church_n by_o baptism_n and_o all_o that_o be_v of_o his_o body_n may_v claim_v to_o eat_v of_o that_o one_o bread_n this_o by_o the_o bye_n i_o now_o address_v myself_o to_o the_o main_a business_n i_o propound_v which_o be_v to_o state_n the_o notion_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n to_o show_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o and_o to_o make_v some_o inference_n from_o it_o for_o our_o further_a instruction_n and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o st._n paul_n here_o speak_v not_o of_o any_o one_o particular_a church_n but_o of_o the_o society_n of_o all_o christian_n whatsoever_o that_o be_v baptize_v and_o have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o holy_a communion_n whether_o they_o be_v jew_n or_o gentile_n and_o it_o be_v concern_v the_o unity_n of_o this_o church_n that_o we_o be_v to_o inquire_v or_o what_o that_o be_v which_o make_v it_o one_o body_n as_o the_o apostle_n here_o call_v it_o to_o which_o purpose_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v distinct_o what_o be_v the_o several_a ground_n or_o notion_n of_o unity_n which_o be_v lay_v

very_a same_o epistle_n he_o commend_v they_o all_o for_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n of_o prophecy_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o which_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n as_o hard_o to_o be_v sure_a as_o any_o be_v in_o st_n paul_n write_n and_o i_o hope_v st._n peter_n be_v as_o wise_a a_o man_n in_o this_o point_n as_o any_o that_o have_v come_v after_o he_o and_o now_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o not_o say_v that_o we_o be_v believer_n already_o and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o trouble_v ourselves_o with_o constant_a read_n of_o the_o bible_n be_v not_o they_o so_o to_o who_o st._n peter_n write_v nay_o the_o apostle_n be_v then_o alive_a to_o instruct_v they_o by_o word_n as_o well_o as_o by_o write_v and_o moreover_o daily_a miracle_n be_v wrought_v for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o faith_n yet_o they_o do_v well_o in_o take_v diligent_a heed_n to_o the_o scripture_n and_o shall_v not_o we_o do_v so_o too_o who_o can_v find_v apostle_n and_o miracle_n no_o where_n but_o there_o we_o believe_v already_o but_o have_v we_o all_o of_o we_o that_o steadfast_a faith_n which_o the_o gospel_n require_v which_o be_v not_o ground_v mere_o upon_o education_n and_o the_o custom_n of_o our_o country_n but_o upon_o the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o power_n have_v we_o that_o faith_n which_o will_v bear_v examination_n and_o encounter_v opposition_n if_o we_o have_v a_o very_a little_a exhortation_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n to_o make_v we_o persevere_v in_o read_v god_n book_n whereby_o we_o shall_v be_v yet_o more_o strong_o build_v up_o in_o our_o most_o holy_a faith_n but_o if_o not_o our_o want_n of_o faith_n will_v not_o be_v admit_v at_o the_o last_o day_n for_o a_o excuse_n of_o the_o badness_n of_o our_o life_n when_o we_o have_v the_o scripture_n lay_v before_o we_o the_o holy_a scripture_n i_o say_v which_o if_o they_o have_v be_v diligent_o and_o honest_o read_v by_o we_o will_v have_v furnish_v we_o with_o such_o a_o immovable_a ground_n of_o our_o christian_a belief_n as_o will_v have_v support_v we_o in_o the_o day_n of_o temptation_n nay_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v grow_v never_o so_o strong_a yet_o the_o read_n of_o the_o scripture_n will_v be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o make_v the_o precept_n and_o rule_n of_o the_o christian_a life_n and_o the_o motive_n and_o reason_n of_o practise_v they_o daily_o present_a in_o our_o mind_n for_o the_o temptation_n to_o sin_n be_v always_o present_a the_o snare_n of_o hell_n be_v still_o round_o about_o we_o we_o be_v ever_o in_o some_o danger_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v always_o to_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o lord_n by_o have_v a_o constant_a sense_n of_o those_o divine_a truth_n upon_o our_o mind_n which_o be_v our_o great_a defence_n and_o security_n and_o i_o see_v not_o how_o this_o can_v be_v if_o we_o neglect_v to_o have_v recourse_n unto_o that_o ever_o necessary_a treasure_n of_o divine_a truth_n the_o holy_a word_n of_o god_n st._n chrysistom_a therefore_o doubt_v not_o to_o say_v and_o i_o wish_v we_o may_v all_o well_o consider_v that_o earnest_a say_n of_o so_o wise_a and_o holy_a a_o man_n as_o he_o be_v it_o can_v be_v say_v he_o it_o can_v possible_o be_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v attain_v salvation_n unless_o he_o be_v diligent_o conversant_a in_o spiritual_a read_n himself_o be_v so_o excellent_a and_o

shall_v reckon_v be_v the_o man_n and_o yet_o i_o observe_v he_o often_o complain_v to_o they_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o most_o of_o they_o gain_v little_a profit_n by_o what_o he_o say_v either_o as_o to_o improvement_n of_o knowledge_n or_o good_a practice_n be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o read_v the_o scripture_n he_o explain_v to_o they_o either_o before_o or_o after_o his_o sermon_n and_o say_v he_o it_o be_v the_o neglect_n of_o this_o read_n that_o cause_v all_o heresy_n and_o corrupt_a life_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o how_o much_o time_n do_v we_o spend_v in_o other_o thing_n of_o little_a concern_v to_o we_o either_o as_o to_o our_o health_n or_o wealth_n or_o our_o worldly_a calling_n and_o what_o a_o shame_n and_o a_o sin_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o find_v so_o little_a

to_o be_v one_o principal_a foundation_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n that_o it_o profess_v subjection_n to_o one_o lord_n eph._n 4.5_o and_o in_o the_o three_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n

and_o therefore_o to_o one_o lord_n the_o apostle_n do_v in_o the_o forementioned_a place_n add_v one_o faith_n thus_o we_o find_v in_o rom._n 6.17_o that_o one_o form_n of_o doctrine_n be_v deliver_v

which_o together_o with_o many_o other_o like_o passage_n manifest_o show_v that_o he_o who_o in_o any_o point_n depart_v from_o the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n that_o be_v receive_v from_o

undertake_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o gain_v a_o right_a to_o the_o promise_v thereof_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n add_v also_o one_o baptism_n and_o here_o in_o the_o

belong_v to_o such_o a_o profession_n the_o like_a unity_n be_v infer_v from_o the_o other_o sacrament_n since_o we_o be_v all_o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o 10_o chapter_n of_o this_o epipistle_n v._o 16_o 17._o he_o say_v the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n for_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o that_o one_o bread_n 4._o there_o be_v also_o a_o unity_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o same_o law_n and_o institution_n for_o to_o all_o christian_n it_o equal_o belong_v to_o govern_v themselves_o effectual_o by_o the_o

there_o be_v most_o unity_n there_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v the_o true_a church_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v one-society_n or_o communion_n which_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n exclusive_o to_o all_o other_o communion_n whatsoever_o for_o thus_o they_o argue_v the_o apostle_n here_o and_o the_o new_a testament_n elsewhere_o affirm_v that_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v one_o body_n if_o therefore_o there_o be_v as_o there_o be_v several_a body_n of_o christian_n in_o this_o divide_a state_n of_o christendom_n that_o be_v not_o unite_v in_o communion_n in_o worship_n in_o

be_v that_o body_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o true_a church_n and_o from_o hence_o they_o proceed_v far_o since_o we_o grant_v that_o they_o be_v a_o church_n we_o do_v in_o effect_n grant_v that_o we_o
