same_o word_n the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o they_o be_v life_n or_o the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n as_o if_o st._n peter_n have_v say_v we_o do_v not_o understand_v thou_o in_o that_o gross_a and_o absurd_a sense_n to_o which_o these_o man_n have_v pervert_v thy_o say_n for_o we_o perceive_v that_o thou_o speak_v of_o those_o doctrine_n and_o revelation_n by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o be_v guide_v to_o eternal_a life_n but_o if_o st._n peter_n have_v understand_v our_o saviour_n in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n and_o his_o revolt_a disciple_n understand_v he_o st._n peter_n answer_n will_v sure_o have_v be_v to_o this_o purpose_n whatever_o appearance_n there_o be_v of_o inhumanity_n and_o contradiction_n in_o give_v thy_o flesh_n to_o be_v eat_v and_o thy_o blood_n to_o be_v drink_v for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v eat_v thy_o natural_a flesh_n and_o drink_v etc._n etc._n because_o thou_o have_v say_v it_o for_o though_o this_o hard_a say_v stagger_v those_o man_n that_o be_v go_v off_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o stagger_v we_o at_o all_o this_o have_v be_v a_o confession_n of_o faith_n suitable_a to_o the_o occasion_n and_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o st._n peter_n if_o he_o have_v understand_v our_o saviour_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v at_o least_o he_o will_v have_v use_v those_o very_a expression_n which_o our_o saviour_n use_v when_o the_o jew_n take_v offence_n i._n e._n he_o will_v have_v say_v to_o who_o shall_v we_o go_v but_o to_o thou_o who_o will_v give_v we_o thy_o flesh_n to_o eat_v and_o thy_o blood_n to_o drink_v that_o we_o may_v have_v eternal_a life_n but_o when_o he_o rather_o choose_v to_o confess_v his_o faith_n in_o the_o explanatory_a word_n v._o 63._o thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n i_o think_v a_o reasonable_a man_n must_v acknowledge_v that_o st._n peter_n do_v not_o understand_v our_o saviour_n expression_n as_o the_o perverse_a jew_n understand_v they_o 69._o and_o we_o have_v already_o arrive_v to_o this_o faith_n by_o see_v thy_o mighty_a work_n and_o hear_v thy_o divine_a doctrine_n for_o by_o these_o testimony_n we_o be_v convince_v beyond_o all_o doubt_n that_o thou_o be_v the_o promise_a messiah_n and_o whereas_o these_o man_n cast_a thou_o the_o son_n of_o joseph_n we_o assure_o believe_v that_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o that_o god_n who_o give_v life_n to_o all_o and_o will_v give_v eternal_a life_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o thou_o and_o to_o this_o answer_n of_o peter_n all_o the_o rest_n assent_v v._o 69._o and_o st._n peter_n have_v thus_o show_v plain_o enough_o what_o he_o understand_v by_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n viz._n his_o doctrine_n or_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n he_o show_v as_o plain_o in_o this_o verse_n what_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n understand_v by_o eat_v viz._n believe_v as_o jesus_n himself_o have_v explain_v it_o before_o verse_n 47._o therefore_o say_v he_o and_o we_o believe_v and_o be_v sure_a etc._n etc._n so_o that_o by_o what_o st._n peter_n say_v upon_o this_o occasion_n it_o appear_v sufficient_o that_o if_o jesus_n have_v mean_v the_o literal_a and_o gross_a sense_n the_o jew_n and_o the_o disciple_n that_o forsake_v he_o understand_v he_o aright_o and_o peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n that_o stay_v mistake_v he_o which_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o do_v not_o because_o our_o saviour_n approve_v what_o st._n peter_n say_v in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n it_o be_v i_o believe_v more_o safe_a to_o follow_v st._n peter_n with_o the_o approbation_n of_o our_o saviour_n than_o to_o follow_v any_o of_o his_o successor_n without_o it_o 70._o but_o this_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o jesus_n to_o show_v that_o he_o as_o well_o understand_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o twelve_o apostle_n as_o he_o do_v of_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o disciple_n v._n 64._o answer_v they_o to_o this_o purpose_n what_o one_o of_o you_o have_v say_v in_o behalf_n of_o all_o be_v true_a of_o all_o but_o one_o i_o have_v indeed_o choose_v you_o twelve_o before_o all_o my_o other_o disciple_n to_o be_v my_o chief_a companion_n and_o minister_n but_o there_o be_v one_o of_o you_o who_o already_o hate_v i_o and_o be_v treacherous_o bend_v to_o do_v i_o mischief_n 71._o though_o he_o do_v not_o mention_n judas_n the_o traitor_n yet_o he_o mean_v he_o and_o not_o any_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n the_o conclusion_n and_o now_o i_o hearty_o beseech_v all_o into_o who_o hand_n these_o paper_n may_v chance_v to_o come_v not_o to_o think_v that_o this_o chapter_n be_v to_o be_v do_v withal_o when_o they_o be_v once_o satisfy_v what_o our_o lord_n meaning_n be_v in_o those_o expression_n of_o eat_v he_o and_o the_o like_a but_o that_o they_o will_v please_v to_o attend_v to_o the_o reason_n and_o end_v of_o these_o and_o such_o kind_n of_o say_n which_o will_v convince_v they_o i_o doubt_v not_o that_o this_o excellent_a chapter_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v think_v of_o and_o lay_v to_o heart_n every_o day_n they_o live_v great_a pity_n it_o be_v that_o this_o portion_n of_o god_n word_n also_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v a_o bone_n of_o contention_n which_o be_v design_v to_o beget_v and_o improve_v in_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n a_o spirit_n of_o true_a wisdom_n and_o piety_n and_o to_o establish_v they_o in_o a_o holy_a life_n that_o which_o our_o lord_n principal_o aim_v at_o in_o all_o this_o discourse_n be_v to_o make_v his_o hearer_n concern_v in_o good_a earnest_n for_o their_o eternal_a state_n which_o will_v at_o first_o sight_n appear_v to_o any_o man_n that_o mind_v how_o often_o those_o say_n return_v of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o be_v raise_v up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n now_o this_o indeed_o seem_v to_o be_v his_o great_a design_n in_o almost_o all_o his_o sermon_n and_o application_n to_o the_o people_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v gather_v this_o profitable_a instruction_n that_o man_n be_v more_o or_o less_o prepare_v to_o receive_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n according_a as_o they_o be_v more_o or_o less_o affect_v with_o the_o end_n of_o his_o come_n into_o the_o world_n which_o be_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o everlasting_a life_n but_o in_o this_o chapter_n and_o in_o some_o other_o there_o be_v a_o peculiar_a instruction_n tend_v to_o this_o purpose_n which_o we_o ought_v all_o of_o we_o very_o frequent_o to_o consider_v not_o slight_v it_o because_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a but_o make_v much_o of_o it_o both_o because_o it_o be_v very_o useful_a and_o strong_o suggest_v by_o our_o lord_n himself_o and_o it_o be_v in_o short_a this_o that_o the_o care_n we_o be_v at_o and_o the_o pain_n we_o take_v for_o the_o welfare_n of_o this_o short_a life_n shall_v awaken_v in_o we_o a_o great_a care_n and_o concern_v for_o our_o everlasting_a welfare_n and_o that_o we_o who_o be_v so_o thoughtful_a and_o diligent_a in_o pursue_v our_o temporal_a interest_n shall_v be_v ashamed_a and_o count_v ourselves_o reprove_v by_o our_o worldly_a care_n if_o we_o be_v not_o much_o more_o careful_a to_o work_v out_o our_o salvation_n this_o be_v the_o method_n our_o lord_n take_v to_o bring_v those_o people_n to_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o he_o represent_v to_o they_o the_o mean_n and_o condition_n of_o everlasting_a life_n under_o the_o name_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o their_o heart_n have_v hitherto_o be_v most_o set_v upon_o i.e._n bread_n and_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o these_o be_v the_o man_n that_o have_v be_v feed_v by_o he_o the_o day_n

some_o sense_n of_o better_a thing_n and_o to_o lead_v they_o towards_o a_o due_a esteem_n of_o that_o end_n for_o which_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n he_o proceed_v in_o his_o admonition_n by_o

know_v that_o if_o they_o eat_v and_o drink_v of_o that_o food_n which_o he_o come_v to_o give_v they_o they_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o what_o be_v the_o instruction_n of_o this_o way_n of_o discourse_v to_o they_o but_o that_o if_o the_o bodily_a food_n for_o which_o they_o be_v so_o solicitous_a be_v a_o valuable_a enjoyment_n which_o yet_o will_v serve_v but_o for_o the_o prolong_n of_o a_o mortal_a life_n how_o ought_v

christ_n speak_v to_o they_o so_o much_o about_o it_o as_o he_o do_v for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o their_o own_o fault_n that_o they_o be_v not_o inward_o prepare_v and_o if_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n considerable_a towards_o it_o his_o reproof_n have_v seem_v something_o unreasonable_a and_o unjust_a and_o if_o they_o have_v so_o understand_v it_o they_o have_v not_o be_v want_v to_o tell_v he_o so_o 41._o but_o the_o people_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n please_v with_o what_o jesus_n say_v for_o they_o expect_v he_o will_v give_v they_o bread_n from_o heaven_n as_o moses_n have_v do_v for_o their_o father_n v._n 34._o but_o now_o they_o plain_o perceive_v that_o by_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o he_o

and_o upon_o this_o disappointment_n they_o again_o set_v themselves_o to_o disparage_v he_o all_o they_o can_v 42._o and_o say_v one_o to_o another_o why_o do_v this_o man_n who_o we_o know_v to_o

then_o vouchsafe_v to_o appear_v more_o remarkable_o to_o instruct_v man_n than_o ever_o he_o do_v since_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n remain_v in_o unbelief_n or_o refuse_v to_o obey_v it_o can_v be_v for_o want_n of_o mean_n to_o make_v he_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n but_o for_o want_v of_o a_o humble_a and_o a_o honest_a mind_n and_o a_o sincere_a intention_n
