of_o god_n word_n but_o yet_o because_o i_o do_v not_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o these_o name_n or_o title_n be_v express_o and_o direct_o affirm_v of_o this_o sacrament_n i_o

the_o content_n of_o this_o verse_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n concern_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o not_o only_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n but_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n and_o prayer_n be_v matter_n of_o necessary_a use_n in_o and_o for_o the_o right_a receive_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v this_o verse_n whole_o as_o it_o
