instruct_v be_v as_o a_o man_n shall_v admit_v a_o brute_n beast_n to_o a_o holy_a banquet_n to_o the_o great_a ignominy_n of_o jesu_n christ_n and_o confusion_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v then_o erpedient_a that_o the_o christian_a be_v otherways_o instruct_v and_o that_o he_o know_v what_o thing_n this_o sacrament_n be_v and_o for_o what_o end_n the_o lord_n have_v ordain_v it_o for_o what_o cause_n also_o the_o church_n do_v use_v it_o what_o profit_n the_o faithful_a do_v receive_v by_o it_o and_o many_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o understande_v as_o this_o day_n be_v make_v manifest_a i_o say_v the_o minister_n ought_v to_o use_v in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o self_n same_o mean_n as_o be_v use_v in_o baptism_n when_o a_o child_n be_v baptize_v or_o yet_o any_o other_o person_n grow_v in_o year_n the_o which_o party_n when_o he_o go_v to_o be_v baptize_v it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o desire_v to_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o church_n &_o that_o he_o beleve_v suerlye_o that_o this_o wash_v be_v baptism_n and_o that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n no_o nor_o it_o be_v no_o sufficient_a cause_n that_o the_o party_n do_v desire_v to_o be_v baptize_v because_o this_o belief_n may_v be_v both_o in_o good_a and_o evyll_n but_o the_o principal_a point_n that_o the_o minister_n do_v desire_n to_o know_v of_o he_o that_o be_v baptize_v be_v this_o whether_o he_o do_v forsake_v the_o devyll_n with_o all_o his_o work_n and_o that_o he_o that_o be_v baptize_v do_v confess_v so_o to_o do_v open_o that_o do_v the_o minister_n do_v ask_v if_o he_o believe_v in_o the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o which_o demand_n the_o mynyster_n do_v search_v out_o the_o faith_n of_o he_o that_o receave_v the_o sacrament_n of_o which_o faith_n the_o church_n must_v be_v assure_v therefore_o it_o be_v nedeful_a that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v baptize_v shall_v know_v to_o geve_v account_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o congregation_n how_o much_o more_o than_o ought_v this_o to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o which_o be_v only_o minister_v to_o such_o as_o be_v of_o sufficient_a year_n &_o that_o be_v able_a to_o understande_v the_o word_n preach_v therefore_o when_o any_o man_n shall_v first_o communicate_v it_o be_v erpedient_a to_o hear_v his_o confession_n upon_o this_o article_n for_o by_o that_o confession_n the_o church_n may_v judge_v if_o such_o a_o person_n be_v a_o fit_n vessel_n to_o receive_v such_o a_o sacrament_n that_o by_o this_o mean_n there_o may_v be_v a_o difference_n of_o judas_n and_o other_o brutysshe_a creature_n there_o be_v then_o to_o be_v wyssh_v some_o other_o faith_n much_o dyffer_v from_o this_o of_o the_o hypocryte_n the_o which_o think_v they_o have_v do_v enough_o when_o they_o have_v perform_v that_o work_n because_o it_o be_v so_o ordain_v be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a folly_n if_o one_o of_o ripe_a year_n shall_v be_v baptize_v and_o if_o he_o be_v ask_v wherefore_o art_n thou_o baptize_v can_v make_v no_o other_o answer_n but_o that_o he_o be_v baptyse_v because_o it_o be_v so_o ordain_v and_o have_v no_o other_o stay_n whereunto_o the_o christian_a faith_n shall_v stay_v upon_o shall_v not_o such_o one_o be_v almost_o judge_v and_o take_v for_o a_o dissimuled_a christian_a see_v than_o y_z e_z sacrament_n be_v witness_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o they_o which_o will_v present_v themselves_o to_o this_o table_n be_v well_o instruct_v to_o geve_v account_n of_o their_o faith_n therefore_o it_o be_v convement_n that_o such_o shall_v be_v eramine_v of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n first_o the_o minister_n do_v ask_v the_o christian_n what_o be_v this_o sacrament_n the_o faithful_a do_v answer_v that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o assurance_n and_o gage_n leave_v of_o jesu_n christ_n in_o his_o church_n for_o that_o none_o shall_v doubt_v but_o that_o his_o body_n be_v dead_a for_o we_o &_o that_o his_o blood_n be_v shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n then_o the_o minister_n shall_v ask_v he_o what_o he_o intend_v to_o do_v when_o he_o do_v present_v himself_o to_o this_o supper_n the_o faithful_a do_v answer_v i_o do_v believe_v to_o receive_v all_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o receive_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o be_v no_o more_o christ_n but_o that_o they_o be_v i_o in_o no_o less_o force_n than_o if_o i_o with_o my_o own_o proper_a body_n have_v merit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n then_o the_o minister_n do_v this_o ask_v and_o say_v what_o assurance_n have_v thou_o to_o assure_v thyself_o after_o this_o sort_n of_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o lord_n the_o faithful_a do_v answer_v i_o do_v this_o assure_v myself_o upon_o the_o word_n that_o jesu_n chryst_n speak_v in_o his_o last_o supper_n when_o he_o say_v take_v and_o eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n this_o be_v the_o

and_o drink_v this_o blood_n the_o faithful_a do_v answer_v i_o do_v believe_v to_o eat_v it_o spiritual_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o the_o gospel_n under_o the_o sign_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n do_v offer_v &_o my_o faith_n do_v receive_v the_o minister_n do_v ask_v wherefore_o do_v thou_o not_o think_v to_o eat_v the_o carnal_a body_n of_o christ_n the_o faithful_a do_v answer_v because_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o geve_v i_o life_n &_o the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o for_o this_o cause_n say_v the_o christian_n be_o i_o come_v hither_o unto_o the_o company_n of_o the_o faithful_a for_o to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n because_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o body_n of_o my_o lord_n be_v dead_a for_o i_o &_o that_o his_o blood_n be_v shed_v for_o my_o redemption_n therefore_o my_o faith_n be_v confirm_v &_o comfort_v by_o this_o sacrament_n the_o minister_n do_v demand_v what_o profit_n &_o commodity_n receve_v thy_o soul_n of_o this_o holy_a supper_n the_o faithful_a do_v

my_o neighbour_n so_o y_z e_z i_o become_v one_o soul_n one_o hart_n &_o one_o will_v w_n to_o he_o with_o these_o &_o other_o like_o instruction_n ought_v the_o christian_a people_n to_o be_v instruct_v when_o they_o do_v first_o present_v themselves_o to_o this_o holy_a supper_n this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o witness_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o also_o a_o open_a confession_n of_o the_o same_o for_o when_o we_o do_v frequent_v it_o we_o do_v declare_v the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o admit_v none_o to_o this_o supper_n who_o be_v not_o very_o well_o instruct_v and_o also_o open_o have_v make_v confession_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o when_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o all_o thing_n be_v decay_v and_o of_o no_o force_n let_v we_o now_o then_o consider_v what_o difference_n be_v betwixt_o the_o first_o faith_n &_o this_o second_o thou_o beleve_v by_o thy_o first_o faith_n that_o in_o this_o sacrament_n be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesu_n christ_n what_o profit_n have_v thou_o by_o this_o belief_n the_o devil_n and_o any_o wicked_a person_n may_v have_v this_o faith_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v thou_o beleve_v that_o to_o use_v this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o good_a work_n the_o devyll_n beleve_v also_o &_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a work_n so_o y_fw-fr e_o this_o common_a faith_n make_v man_n no_o better_o than_o the_o devyll_n or_o any_o other_o naughty_a person_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o have_v some_o other_o faith_n but_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o true_a &_o lyvely_a faith_n spring_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o speak_v to_o our_o conscience_n it_o say_v ah_o from_o henceforth_o be_v merry_a seinge_v christ_n be_v whole_o thou_o in_o all_o respect_n because_o that_o in_o this_o supper_n thou_o do_v receive_v all_o his_o merit_n he_o have_v sup_v up_o in_o his_o blood_n all_o thy_o sin_n confess_v therefore_o from_o henceforth_o open_o in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o death_n of_o thy_o lord_n because_o he_o be_v present_a in_o all_o thy_o do_n this_o second_o faith_n far_o pass_v the_o first_o the_o which_o make_v thou_o no_o better_a than_o the_o devyll_n no_o nor_o then_o any_o hypocrite_n but_o this_o second_o christian_n faith_n do_v geve_v unto_o thou_o all_o that_o treasure_n enclose_v and_o promise_v in_o these_o word_n

that_o end_n that_o the_o christian_n may_v understande_v to_o geve_v account_n to_o the_o church_n of_o their_o say_v but_o ypocrisie_n have_v now_o such_o power_n and_o force_n that_o the_o

think_v to_o receive_v the_o body_n of_o jesu_n christ_n there_o they_o stay_v and_o leave_v the_o true_a use_n of_o this_o sacrament_n they_o have_v frame_v of_o their_o own_o head_n many_o other_o

such_o or_o such_o a_o saint_n unto_o who_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n have_v grave_v their_o peculy_o office_n these_o be_v not_o the_o commodity_n of_o this_o supper_n for_o it_o be_v not_o entitle_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v thereby_o obtain_v prosperity_n honour_n riches_n and_o other_o worldly_a good_n but_o it_o be_v principal_o ordain_v for_o a_o remembrance_n of_o the_o lord_n death_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v unite_v to_o he_o never_o to_o be_v separate_v there_o be_v also_o a_o other_o cause_n wherefore_o this_o sacrament_n be_v ordain_v and_o that_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o

if_o we_o love_v he_o not_o in_o jesu_n christ_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o self_n same_o care_n of_o our_o neighbour_n as_o we_o have_v of_o ourselves_o we_o be_v one_o the_o member_n of_o
