application_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o these_o two_o divers_a regard_n shall_v still_o represent_v it_o this_o application_n be_v true_o figure_v also_o by_o the_o circumcision_n whereto_o baptism_n succeed_v but_o we_o have_v see_v that_o our_o sacrament_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v any_o more_o any_o thing_n bloody_a moreover_o as_o i_o say_v our_o saviour_n seem_v to_o have_v regard_n to_o this_o point_n that_o all_o holy_a thing_n those_o which_o the_o law_n make_v communicable_a to_o every_o one_o of_o the_o people_n be_v apply_v personal_o unto_o he_o in_o the_o one_o or_o in_o the_o other_o of_o these_o two_o action_n only_o viz._n either_o in_o their_o wash_n or_o in_o their_o sacred_a banquet_n to_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o action_n wherein_o consist_v all_o the_o participation_n of_o holy_a thing_n answer_v baptism_n and_o the_o eucharist_n if_o we_o contemplate_v there_o but_o a_o resemblance_n between_o the_o water_n the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n of_o the_o one_o part_n and_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o the_o other_o this_o consideration_n be_v too_o wander_v and_o general_a and_o do_v not_o observe_v distinct_o enough_o the_o intention_n of_o our_o saviour_n we_o know_v that_o the_o communion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v represent_v in_o scripture_n under_o the_o similitude_n of_o divers_a conjunction_n as_o of_o the_o head_n with_o the_o member_n of_o the_o vine_n with_o the_o branch_n of_o the_o husband_n with_o the_o wife_n of_o the_o foundation_n with_o the_o edifice_n of_o the_o clothe_n with_o the_o body_n of_o wash_v and_o of_o nourishment_n but_o it_o be_v a_o question_n to_o know_v why_o among_o so_o many_o similitude_n our_o saviour_n will_v choose_v these_o two_o viz._n that_o of_o wash_v and_o that_o of_o nourishment_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o whereof_o to_o make_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n i_o believe_v therefore_o we_o must_v seek_v the_o reason_n in_o the_o correspondence_n which_o they_o have_v with_o these_o two_o action_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n wherein_o only_o lie_v the_o personal_a application_n of_o holy_a thing_n which_o the_o law_n distribute_v to_o the_o people_n to_o conclude_v i_o shall_v add_v touch_v the_o water_n of_o baptism_n that_o which_o i_o say_v touch_v the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n of_o the_o eucharist_n many_o divine_v dispute_v philosophical_o of_o the_o propriety_n of_o water_n by_o reason_n whereof_o our_o saviour_n will_v it_o shall_v serve_v for_o baptism_n for_o say_v they_o as_o water_n or_o watery_a matter_n be_v the_o principal_a of_o all_o natural_a production_n so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n represent_v by_o water_n be_v the_o principal_a of_o our_o regeneration_n also_o as_o water_n do_v fructify_v the_o earth_n and_o make_v it_o fit_a to_o bear_v fruit_n so_o the_o holy_a spirit_n bedew_v our_o soul_n make_v we_o capable_a to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_n moreover_o as_o water_n do_v quench_v the_o thirst_n so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v quench_v the_o thirst_n of_o earthly_a thing_n to_o which_o be_v refer_v that_o which_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o

water_n be_v use_v in_o baptism_n inasmuch_o as_o it_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v not_o as_o it_o refresh_v nor_o as_o it_o allay_v the_o thirst_n be_v drink_v otherwise_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v
