transgression_n of_o man_n be_v hide_v and_o overclouded_n from_o they_o by_o the_o veil_n of_o ceremony_n whereas_o here_o o_o you_o faithful_a christian_n jesus_n christ_n call_v you_o to_o the_o public_a meditation_n and_o contemplation_n of_o his_o death_n and_o of_o the_o pardon_n and_o remission_n of_o your_o sin_n to_o refresh_v and_o fill_v your_o soul_n with_o peace_n and_o felicity_n and_o for_o which_o cause_n and_o reason_n he_o say_v in_o saint_n john_n 6.35_o joh._n 6.35_o whosoever_o come_v unto_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v hungry_a and_o those_o who_o trust_v in_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v dry_a or_o thirsty_a and_o therefore_o jesus_n christ_n take_v bread_n say_v take_v eat_v and_o then_o he_o add_v thereunto_o this_o be_v my_o body_n so_o that_o which_o he_o come_v from_o take_v of_o and_o which_o he_o hold_v to_o wit_n bread_n he_o say_v it_o be_v his_o body_n a_o thing_n which_o he_o then_o speak_v most_o easy_o and_o clear_o for_o as_o there_o be_v not_o the_o small_a child_n among_o the_o jew_n but_o understand_v when_o the_o father_n of_o his_o family_n say_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o misery_n which_o our_o forefather_n do_v eat_v in_o egypt_n that_o this_o bread_n be_v so_o name_v and_o call_v by_o the_o father_n of_o the_o family_n because_o it_o be_v a_o commemoration_n of_o the_o bread_n of_o affliction_n which_o their_o forefather_n have_v eat_v in_o egypt_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o deutr._n 16.3_o deut._n 16.3_o under_o the_o law_n seven_o day_n thou_o shall_v eat_v unleavened_a bread_n which_o be_v bread_n of_o affliction_n because_o thou_o do_v hasty_o depart_v and_o fly_v away_o from_o egypt_n so_o there_o be_v none_o so_o ignorant_a or_o simple_a but_o understand_v well_o that_o christ_n say_v the_o bread_n be_v his_o body_n because_o he_o be_v the_o commemoration_n thereof_o and_o as_o the_o unleavened_a bread_n have_v be_v yearly_a or_o dayn_v for_o a_o memorial_n or_o comemoration_n of_o the_o misery_n which_o the_o israelite_n have_v suffer_v in_o egypt_n that_o jesus_n christ_n establish_v bread_n to_o remain_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o sign_n and_o commemoration_n of_o his_o body_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n which_o again_o be_v clear_a and_o evident_a because_o they_o name_v the_o lamb_n which_o they_o do_v eat_v pasque_n a_o hebrew_n word_n which_o signify_v passeover_n and_o which_o every_o one_o well_o understand_v in_o that_o language_n where_o will_v thou_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o jesus_n christ_n 26.17_o mat._n 26.17_o that_o we_o prepare_v for_o thou_o the_o passeover_n the_o lamb_n which_o they_o eat_v be_v so_o call_v because_o it_o be_v institute_v in_o memory_n and_o commemoration_n of_o the_o pass_v over_o of_o the_o destroy_a angel_n from_o above_o and_o beyond_o the_o israelite_n house_n and_o in_o this_o same_o sense_n they_o easy_o understand_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o it_o be_v purposely_o institute_v to_o be_v the_o remembrance_n or_o commemoration_n of_o his_o body_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n now_o although_o this_o be_v sufficient_o clear_a and_o palpable_a of_o itself_o yet_o observe_v here_o the_o singular_a bounty_n goodness_n and_o wisdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o repel_v and_o prevent_v the_o error_n which_o he_o foresee_v in_o that_o he_o conjoin_v and_o add_v thereunto_o as_o saint_n luke_n and_o saint_n paul_n affirm_v it_o in_o express_a term_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o be_v there_o not_o here_o then_o just_a cause_n to_o admire_v and_o wonder_v that_o after_o all_o this_o that_o bread_n shall_v be_v understand_v by_o transubstantiation_n to_o be_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o far_o different_a and_o otherwise_o then_o by_o remembrance_n or_o commemoration_n from_o whence_o it_o necessary_o result_v and_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n be_v adore_v for_o the_o body_n and_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o sacrament_n and_o remembrance_n have_v be_v confound_v with_o that_o whereof_o it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n and_o commemoration_n so_o then_o christ_n jesus_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n and_o yet_o not_o simple_o so_o but_o according_a as_o saint_n luke_n tell_v we_o 22.19_o luc._n 22.19_o which_o be_v give_v for_o we_o and_o as_o saint_n paul_n affirm_v which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o so_o then_o christ_n represent_v we_o his_o body_n understand_v thereby_o that_o he_o have_v be_v deliver_v up_o for_o we_o to_o the_o cross_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v be_v break_v and_o sacrifice_v and_o likewise_o for_o the_o cup_n he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o speak_v in_o term_n of_o the_o time_n present_a and_o not_o only_o for_o regard_n of_o what_o he_o know_v shall_v befall_v he_o the_o very_o next_o day_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o but_o also_o because_o he_o give_v and_o render_v in_o a_o present_a figure_n that_o which_o shall_v be_v do_v on_o the_o cross_n the_o fraction_n of_o bread_n be_v a_o true_a and_o lively_a representation_n of_o the_o fraction_n of_o his_o body_n as_o a_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n acknowledge_v it_o in_o these_o word_n quod_fw-la

and_o stream_n forth_o unto_o we_o two_o especial_a thing_n the_o one_o that_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o the_o break_n or_o fraction_n of_o bread_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v the_o break_n of_o christ_n body_n so_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n the_o bread_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v the_o fraction_n and_o crucify_a of_o christ_n body_n not_o by_o the_o truth_n or_o reality_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o mystery_n and_o so_o likewise_o the_o bread_n be_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o not_o by_o the_o truth_n or_o reality_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o mystery_n the_o other_o branch_n or_o point_n which_o result_v hereof_o be_v that_o this_o holy_a supper_n be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n not_o by_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o mystery_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrifice_n but_o a_o remembrance_n and_o commemoration_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n as_o indeed_o christ_n offer_v up_o no_o oblation_n to_o god_n but_o break_v the_o bread_n and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n from_o whence_o belove_v in_o the_o lord_n you_o plain_o see_v that_o to_o esteem_v and_o hold_v the_o lord_n supper_n to_o be_v a_o real_a sacrifice_n wherein_o jesus_n christ_n have_v offer_v himself_o up_o a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o humane_a invention_n opposite_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o the_o use_n of_o this_o sacrament_n which_o be_v ordain_v to_o show_v forth_o and_o proclaim_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n and_o likewise_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o only_a oblation_n of_o the_o cross_n the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n affirm_v to_o the_o hebrew_n 10.10_o heb._n 10.10_o that_o we_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o oblation_n

of_o christ_n word_n and_o now_o faithful_a christian_n to_o who_o god_n have_v reveal_v and_o make_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o purity_n of_o these_o high_a and_o sacred_a mystery_n come_v and_o
