1_o first_o he_o be_v so_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o be_v and_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n equal_a with_o god_n phil._n 2.6_o he_o be_v god_n himself_o

all_o doubt_n that_o he_o be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o he_o may_v whereby_o god_n have_v manifest_v his_o power_n dominion_n and_o majesty_n visible_o and_o sensible_o to_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n more_o than_o in_o any_o of_o the_o other_o person_n for_o howsoever_o god_n the_o father_n be_v lord_n and_o the_o holy_a

have_v be_v most_o plain_o declare_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n 1_o cor._n 15.47_o reas_n 3_o three_o his_o work_n prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o lord_n whatsoever_o belong_v to_o a_o lord_n that_o he_o

belong_v to_o a_o lord_n to_o do_v but_o to_o overcome_v his_o enemy_n and_o triumph_v over_o they_o to_o rule_v and_o reign_v over_o all_o as_o he_o will_v himself_o this_o the_o lord_n jesus_n

again_o we_o note_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o they_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o call_v they_o by_o their_o ordinary_a name_n the_o bread_n by_o the_o name_n of_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n by_o the_o name_n of_o cup_n from_o hence_o we_o gather_v this_o doctrine_n that_o even_o after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n and_o blessing_n still_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n for_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n be_v the_o same_o as_o they_o be_v before_o still_o they_o

element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o they_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o set_v they_o forth_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n this_o bread_n and_o this_o cup_n for_o by_o the_o cup_n be_v mean_v wine_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n he_o set_v they_o forth_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n as_o in_o all_o thing_n we_o must_v keep_v a_o mean_a without_o go_v too_o far_o or_o come_v too_o short_a so_o special_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o keep_v on_o the_o right_a way_n without_o turn_v either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a we_o must_v take_v all_o matter_n of_o religion_n in_o that_o very_a precise_a and_o true_a strain_n that_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v set_v upon_o they_o we_o be_v apt_a enough_o to_o err_v as_o well_o on_o the_o one_o side_n as_o on_o the_o other_o as_o well_o on_o the_o right_a side_n as_o on_o the_o left_a and_o to_o err_v on_o either_o side_n be_v alike_o dangerous_a so_o it_o be_v in_o other_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o estimation_n of_o these_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n some_o do_v err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n in_o their_o estimation_n of_o they_o think_v too_o high_o of_o they_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v corporal_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o wine_n be_v corporal_o the_o very_a blood_n of_o christ_n on_o the_o other_o side_n other_o there_o be_v that_o err_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n in_o their_o estimation_n of_o they_o they_o esteem_v too_o mean_o and_o base_o of_o they_o as_o the_o profane_a people_n of_o the_o world_n they_o general_o esteem_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n no_o better_a than_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n at_o their_o own_o table_n to_o meet_v with_o both_o these_o error_n and_o so_o to_o keep_v our_o heart_n upright_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o god_n truth_n herein_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o short_a speech_n give_v we_o a_o good_a caveat_n and_o preservative_n and_o first_o that_o we_o may_v not_o think_v too_o high_o of_o they_o and_o so_o err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v the_o apostle_n still_o call_v they_o bread_n and_o wine_n show_v that_o in_o the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o they_o they_o be_v the_o same_o as_o they_o be_v before_o next_o that_o we_o may_v not_o err_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o think_v too_o mean_o and_o base_o of_o they_o as_o the_o profane_a people_n do_v he_o extol_v they_o by_o a_o note_n of_o excellency_n this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n though_o the_o bread_n be_v but_o bread_n in_o itself_o and_o the_o wine_n be_v but_o wine_n in_o itself_o yet_o he_o speak_v with_o a_o kind_n of_o grace_n and_o majesty_n of_o speech_n this_o bread_n &_o this_o cup_n as_o single_v they_o out_o by_o a_o note_n of_o difference_n from_o ordinary_a bread_n &_o wine_n because_o they_o be_v dedicate_v to_o a_o sacred_a and_o holy_a use_n whereby_o they_o be_v advance_v above_o all_o other_o bread_n and_o wine_n whatsoever_o as_o oft_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n say_v the_o apostle_n you_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v the_o doctrine_n hence_o to_o be_v raise_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o howsoever_o it_o be_v that_o the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v in_o nature_n and_o in_o substance_n the_o same_o creature_n

other_o wine_n we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v for_o proof_n of_o this_o doctrine_n any_o further_a than_o this_o chapter_n this_o chapter_n afford_v we_o very_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o it_o if_o we_o mark_v the_o apostle_n he_o point_v out_o here_o three_o difference_n between_o our_o ordinary_a food_n that_o we_o have_v at_o our_o meal_n and_o this_o extraordinary_a food_n that_o we_o have_v at_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o first_o be_v in_o the_o 20._o and_o 21._o verse_n when_o you_o come_v together_o therefore_o into_o one_o place_n this_o be_v not_o to_o eat_v

unto_o we_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n that_o show_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n lively_a to_o we_o too_o that_o the_o word_n show_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n lively_a it_o

not_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v as_o lively_a a_o memorial_n of_o his_o death_n as_o ever_o can_v be_v devise_v i_o may_v add_v other_o reason_n as_o namely_o concern_v the_o state_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o state_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n require_v that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v most_o clear_a and_o most_o plain_a and_o especial_o the_o

shall_v deal_v with_o they_o to_o this_o effect_n by_o his_o spirit_n but_o yet_o collateral_o it_o reach_v also_o to_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n for_o if_o he_o do_v deal_v with_o they_o so_o by_o his_o inward_a spirit_n than_o the_o outward_a mean_n must_v be_v answerable_a so_o then_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o place_n be_v to_o teach_v we_o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n
