And y ● holy church of Christ is those that do abstain from the sinnes of the flesh and do exercise thēselfs with spiritual exercises Furthermore it is not so holy that vtterly it lacketh al euill desires may be oppressed with no wicked opinions For y ● church of god must confesse her sinne therfore she praieth y ● her sinnes may be forgeuē Wherfore she beeleueth to haue remission of her synnes So that now we perceiue that saintes do sinne do ●alle and are disceiued but unawares for they wil not willyngely forsweare Iesu Christ ▪ and renounce his gospell wherfore they do optayne the remission of their sinnes and if they do at any tyme erre from the doctrine of Christ so that neglygentely they be oute of the waye there is made ready for them forgeuenesse for why sōtyme and specially

Gene .ix. ch That he would no more after this subuert and drowne the vniuersal world with water He addeth vnto his promes an heauenly signe namely a raine bow In like case Gene .xvi. When God had promised Abraham his blessyng whiche should remain to al nations by his sede he did adde vnto it the signe of circūcisiō the signe of the righteousnes of faith as Paul saith Rom .iiii. chap. In the new● testament Christ the sonne of God dy● adde vnto his promise of remissiō of synnes and life euerlastyng signes baptism and the supper of the lord Of the which supper we purpose at this time by gods grace to speake a fewe words And fyrst marke the sacrament of the bodye the bloud of our Lord is called by many names For Paul .i. Corint .xi. chap. calleth it the supper of the Lorde whiche supper we do represent whē we haue takē that sacrament whiche Christe euen at y ● present tyme goyng to his death for vs did begyn with his disciples in the euening It is called the sacrament of thākes geuyng because it is instituted by this name to be a sacramēt as Chriso ▪ saith Let vs geue thankes vnto Christe for his ineffable benefites whiche he hath bestowed vpon vs by his moost bitter passyon It is called a communion for that the supper of the Lorde was woonte ●o bee solemnysed in and amonge the congregation of Chrysten people they beeyng once gathered together Therefore learne what is the supper of the lord and then wherfore it was instituted of Christ and what profites we do receiue by it and last who oughte to bee admitted vnto this supper The supper of the lord is when Christ said vnto his disciples take and eate this is my bodie whiche is geuen for you this is my blud whiche is shed for you in the remyssion of sinnes To the whiche wordes Christ addeth breade and wine with the which the faithful receyue his very bodye and his very bloud spiritually which .ii. sygnes be as seales that the words of christ be agreable vnto the trewth Wherfore was this sacramente instituted for two causes welbeloued chyldren firste that we should not doubte that there is geuē to vs truely whiche the gospel doth promise vs that is the remission of synnes and lyfe enerlastynge for Iesu Chrystes sake then that we shoulde declare our fayth before the world for before god it is sufficient for vs to beleue the ghospel ▪ but for because God suffereth vs here to lyue for this cause that we should be profitable to all men and the faythe that is hydden in our hartes we shoulde shewe outwardly before men He hath instituted to vs baptisine and the supper of the lord by the whiche figurs ▪ y ● world doth know that we are Christians But here ye myght say perchaunce Is not Baptisme sufficient for vs Wherfore should we receyue the supper of the lord ▪ seyng that we myght by baptisme be admonished of the remission of our sinnes and the lyfe euerlastyng by Christ and thus declare our profession But here ye welbeloued chyldren by baptisme truely we are reuiued and regenerated firste as ye haue heard in the sermon before Sence we can not here put of the olde skynne and for the moast part are throwen into dyuerse stormes of temptations Christe hath left here vnto vs in spirite and faith to receiue his body and his bloud with the whiche we maye make strong oure faith against so many assaultes of temptations and so by thē to be strengthened more and more I thinke ye loke for now that I should shewe to you what commodities or frutes we do receiue by y ● sacrament of the body and blude of Christ and for because I will be shorte this sacrament ledeth vs to two commodities one is for that it maketh vs brethrē ●●●●oheyrs of Iesu Christ so that of hym ● vs together there is one house an other cōmoditie is that we are roupled among our sehies with mutual loue and charytie by this sacrament and we are cōpelled one to loue an other whiche .ii. fruites of this sacrament
