blood_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o god_n can_v do_v it_o by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a but_o to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v not_o seem_v so_o strange_a to_o our_o carnal_a

live_v here_o below_o although_o it_o be_v a_o dead_a creature_n as_o the_o philosopher_n affirm_v by_o a_o far_o great_a reason_n jesus_n christ_n the_o creator_n the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n be_v on_o high_a in_o heaven_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n he_o can_v more_o easy_o communicate_v his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n in_o the_o supper_n by_o a_o infinite_a virtue_n and_o a_o incomprehensible_a power_n of_o his_o spirit_n because_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o any_o difficulty_n to_o join_v thing_n together_o that_o be_v far_o distant_a as_o those_o that_o be_v near_o the_o other_o similitude_n although_o it_o be_v weak_a yet_o it_o may_v serve_v to_o understand_v this_o mystery_n for_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o find_v out_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v strong_a enough_o to_o signify_v in_o any_o sort_n this_o incomprehensible_a secret_n it_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o a_o great_a and_o high_a tree_n which_o from_o the_o centre_n

without_o life_n can_v do_v this_o easy_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n the_o creator_n and_o conserver_n of_o all_o thing_n can_v communicate_v unto_o we_o his_o substance_n to_o nourish_v ourselves_o without_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n by_o his_o spirit_n see_v that_o he_o have_v promise_v the_o same_o and_o he_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v it_o by_o experience_n when_o it_o please_v he_o wherefore_o we_o may_v infallible_o conclude_v that_o jesus_n christ_n nourish_v and_o quicken_v our_o soul_n and_o water_v they_o by_o his_o blood_n in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n so_o certain_o that_o we_o need_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o doubt_v if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o have_v faith_n which_o be_v form_v in_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v

spirit_n we_o shall_v feel_v more_o and_o more_o his_o presence_n in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n provide_v also_o that_o we_o do_v disburden_v ourselves_o of_o all_o carnal_a opinion_n eor_fw-la if_o

let_v we_o go_v on_o forward_o with_o our_o matter_n and_o let_v we_o observe_v that_o to_o keep_v that_o method_n before_o speak_v of_o with_o most_o fruit_n it_o be_v good_a to_o observe_v here_o two_o point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o to_o handle_v high_a matter_n and_o full_a o●_n weight_n as_o some_o be_v more_o than_o other_o i●_n be_v expedient_a to_o prepare_v the_o people_n t●_n

they_o to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o these_o mean_v they_o may_v make_v man_n ashamed_a if_o they_o hearken_v not_o unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o will_v have_v say_v that_o if_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n do_v yield_v obedience_n unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n people_n the_o preacher_n must_v devise_v all_o mean_n that_o he_o can_v to_o persuade_v the_o people_n which_o be_v creature_n without_o life_n that_o may_v confound_v man_n with_o shame_n which_o be_v live_a creature_n if_o they_o do_v not_o ready_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o his_o sacred_a word_n and_o even_o so_o preacher_n must_v use_v these_o and_o the_o like_a kind_n of_o speech_n when_o they_o shall_v see_v it_o necessary_a the_o second_o be_v that_o in_o expound_v serious_a matter_n especial_o before_o the_o people_n to_o use_v also_o grave_a word_n and_o significant_a lively_o express_v that_o which_o we_o do_v expound_v for_o experience_n do_v show_v that_o a_o man_n have_v no_o grace_n at_o all_o when_o he_o expound_v a_o high_a matter_n with_o light_n and_o base_a word_n not_o express_v sufficient_o the_o force_n
