to_o convey_v and_o assure_v christ_n merit_n to_o i_o and_o command_v i_o this_o way_n to_o receive_v they_o so_o that_o wilful_o to_o neglect_v or_o to_o want_v the_o sacrament_n when_o they_o may_v

a_o natural_a or_o supernatural_a quality_n in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o that_o it_o be_v from_o god_n himself_o which_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o sacrament_n so_o that_o grace_n be_v receive_v from_o god_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o this_o i_o have_v learn_v not_o only_o from_o you_o who_o be_v our_o parish-divine_a but_o also_o from_o mr._n hooker_n who_o judgement_n i_o have_v hear_v much_o praise_v by_o many_o of_o our_o best_a clergy_n this_o say_v he_o be_v the_o necessity_n of_o sacrament_n that_o save_v grace_n which_o christ_n original_o be_v or_o have_v for_o

of_o his_o grace_n be_v not_o either_o through_o contempt_n unreceive_v or_o not_o receive_v with_o contempt_n we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o they_o real_o give_v what_o they_o promise_v and_o be_v what_o they_o signify_v i_o full_o acquiesce_v as_o to_o this_o point_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o this_o considerable_a author_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v as_o i_o

sacrament_n it_o serve_v my_o turn_n to_o understand_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n which_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v a_o outward_a and_o visible_a sign_n of_o a_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a
