again_o that_o we_o obtain_v by_o it_o a_o celestial_a life_n or_o a_o life_n with_o god_n moreover_o that_o by_o faith_n and_o in_o spirit_n we_o receive_v not_o only_a christ_n body_n and_o blood_n

which_o say_v that_o we_o teach_v christ_n to_o be_v no_o otherwise_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n then_o in_o his_o word_n i_o will_v that_o the_o obiector_n will_v well_o consider_v what_o a_o presence_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o his_o word_n i_o remember_v that_o saint_n augustine_n write_v how_o that_o christ_n body_n be_v receive_v sometime_o visible_a and_o sometime_o invisible_a the_o visible_a receipt_n he_o call_v that_o which_o be_v by_o the_o sacrament_n the_o invisible_a receit_n he_o call_v that_o which_o by_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o faith_n with_o ourselves_o we_o receive_v and_o saint_n hierom_n in_o the_o three_o book_n upon_o ecclesiastes_n affirm_v that_o we_o be_v feed_v with_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o we_o drink_v his_o blood_n not_o only_o in_o mystery_n but_o also_o in_o knowledge_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o he_o plain_o show_v that_o the_o same_o meat_n be_v offer_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o sacrament_n so_o that_o no_o less_o be_v christ_n body_n and_o blood_n offer_v by_o the_o scripture_n then_o by_o the_o sacrament_n upon_o the_o 147._o psalm_n he_o write_v also_o that_o though_o these_o word_n he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n may_v be_v understand_v in_o mystery_n yet_o he_o say_v it_o be_v more_o true_a to_o take_v christ_n body_n and_o his_o blood_n for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n yea_o upon_o the_o same_o psalm_n he_o say_v plain_o that_o christ_n flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v pour_v into_o our_o ear_n by_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o therefore_o great_a be_v the_o peril_n if_o we_o yield_v to_o other_o cogitation_n whilst_o we_o hear_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v saint_n augustine_n say_v that_o it_o be_v no_o less_o peril_n to_o hear_v god_n word_n negligent_o then_o so_o to_o use_v the_o sacrament_n but_o hereof_o may_v no_o man_n gather_v that_o therefore_o it_o need_v not_o to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n or_o to_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v as_o much_o by_o himself_o meditate_v the_o word_n in_o the_o field_n receive_v christ_n body_n as_o in_o the_o church_n in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o christ_n ordainth_v nothing_o in_o vain_a or_o superstitious_o he_o ordain_v nothing_o whereof_o we_o have_v not_o need_v although_o his_o authority_n be_v such_o that_o without_o any_o question_n his_o ordinance_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v again_o though_o in_o the_o field_n a_o man_n may_v receive_v christ_n body_n by_o faith_n in_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o word_n yet_o deny_v i_o that_o a_o man_n do_v ordinary_o receive_v christ_n body_n by_o the_o only_a meditation_n of_o christ_n death_n or_o hear_v of_o his_o word_n with_o so_o much_o sight_n and_o by_o such_o sensible_a assurance_n whereof_o god_n know_v our_o infirmity_n have_v no_o small_a need_n as_o by_o the_o receipt_n of_o the_o sacrament_n not_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o much_o present_v in_o his_o word_n preach_v as_o he_o be_v in_o or_o with_o his_o sacrament_n but_o because_o there_o be_v in_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o sacrament_n more_o window_n open_a for_o christ_n to_o enter_v into_o we_o then_o by_o his_o word_n preach_v or_o hear_v for_o there_o i_o mean_v in_o the_o word_n he_o have_v a_o entrance_n into_o our_o heart_n but_o only_o by_o the_o ear_n through_o the_o voice_n and_o sound_v of_o the_o word_n but_o herein_o the_o sacrament_n he_o have_v a_o entrance_n by_o all_o our_o sense_n by_o our_o eye_n by_o our_o nose_n by_o our_o taste_n and_o by_o our_o handle_n also_o and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n full_a well_o may_v be_v call_v seeable_a sensible_a tasteable_a and_o touchable_a word_n as_o therefore_o when_o many_o window_n be_v open_v in_o a_o house_n the_o more_o light_a may_v come_v in_o then_o when_o there_o be_v but_o one_o open_v even_o so_o by_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o sacrament_n a_o christian_a man_n conscience_n have_v more_o help_n to_o receive_v christ_n then_o simple_o by_o the_o word_n preach_v hear_v or_o meditate_a and_o therefore_o i_o think_v the_o apostle_n full_a well_o call_v the_o sacrament_n obsignation_n or_o sealing_n of_o god_n promise_n read_z romans_z the_o four_o of_o circumcision_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o objection_n aforesaid_a now_o to_o return_v from_o whence_o we_o come_v namely_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o second_o thing_n what_o the_o sacrament_n be_v i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o rather_o christ_n body_n so_o call_v of_o christ_n and_o so_o to_o be_v call_v and_o esteem_v of_o us._n but_o here_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o body_n and_o what_o blood_n christ_n call_v it_o supper_n christ_n presence_n in_o the_o supper_n the_o papist_n still_o babble_n this_o be_v my_o body_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n but_o what_o body_n it_o be_v what_o blood_n it_o be_v they_o show_v not_o look_v therefore_o my_o dear_o belove_a on_o christ_n own_o word_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o christ_n call_v it_o his_o body_n break_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v mark_v i_o say_v than_z christ_n call_v it_o his_o body_n which_o be_v break_v his_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v present_o and_o not_o which_o be_v break_v or_o shall_v be_v break_v which_o be_v shed_v or_o shall_v be_v shed_v as_o the_o greek_a text_n do_v plain_o show_v thereby_o teach_v we_o that_o as_o god_n will_v have_v the_o passeover_n call_v not_o which_o be_v the_o passeover_n or_o shall_v be_v the_o
