be_v not_o the_o kill_n of_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n and_o the_o strike_n of_o the_o blood_n thereof_o upon_o the_o lintel_n and_o side-post_n of_o the_o door_n a_o more_o sensible_a and_o clear_a

this_o purpose_n i_o will_v only_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o this_o change_n thus_o in_o brief_a the_o old_a testament_n you_o know_v be_v abrogate_a i_o mean_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o administration_n of_o it_o by_o the_o leviticall_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o the_o new_a be_v now_o in_o force_n the_o testator_n himself_o have_v confirm_v it_o by_o his_o own_o precious_a

these_o outward_a and_o sensible_a thing_n and_o that_o for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o our_o faith_n whilst_o we_o be_v here_o in_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o as_o you_o read_v but_o now_o god_n in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n to_o we_o have_v institute_v sacrament_n for_o we_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o old_a which_o consist_v of_o a_o outward_a

of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n even_o in_o this_o regard_n those_o of_o the_o law_n and_o old_a testament_n be_v more_o sensible_a and_o earthy_a but_o these_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o

passeover_n which_o be_v a_o more_o crass_a and_o corporeal_a sacrament_n
be_v cease_v also_o together_o with_o the_o law_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o a_o sacrament_n more_o suitable_a to_o the_o gospel_n be_v institute_v in_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o of_o all_o

but_o to_o use_v they_o as_o help_v only_o the_o better_a to_o enable_v we_o for_o the_o due_a perform_v of_o our_o spiritual_a service_n which_o be_v the_o perfection_n the_o gospel_n call_v we_o
