the_o thing_n we_o still_o urge_v to_o ●hew_v we_o some_o compel_a motive_n why_o they_o make_v such_o a_o infinite_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o say_n when_o the_o form_n of_o speech_n be_v both_o the_o same_o yet_o the_o one_o must_v infer_v a_o mighty_a miracle_n the_o other_o none_o at_o all_o but_o as_o familiar_a a_o figure_n as_o may_v be_v have_v our_o saviour_n take_v into_o his_o hand_n a_o picture_n of_o a_o face_n and_o say_v this_o be_v my_o face_n what_o man_n can_v imagine_v he_o intend_v this_o picture_n be_v change_v into_o my_o real_a substantial_a face_n but_o rather_o undoubted_o conceive_v he_o mean_v this_o represent_v my_o face_n and_o just_o so_o when_o he_o take_v bread_n into_o his_o hand_n and_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n who_o can_v imagine_v but_o he_o mean_v this_o represent_v my_o body_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v it_o require_v some_o urgent_a reason_n to_o make_v we_o think_v otherwise_o but_o in_o stead_n of_o reason_n they_o return_v we_o rail_a that_o we_o be_v faithless_a heretic_n and_o we_o reply_v they_o be_v foolish_a pratler_n but_o now_o to_o show_v how_o willing_a we_o be_v to_o believe_v christ_n in_o this_o or_o any_o thing_n else_o be_v it_o ever_o so_o much_o against_o our_o reason_n we_o will_v narrow_o examine_v and_o observe_v all_o circumstance_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o see_v if_o we_o can_v find_v any_o considerable_a motive_n to_o incline_v we_o to_o this_o miraculous_a change_n of_o transubstantiate_a bread_n into_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o first_o place_n let_v we_o reflect_v on_o the_o original_a type_n of_o this_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o melchisedek_n king_n of_o salem_n when_o he_o meet_v abraham_n come_v from_o the_o victory_n over_o the_o heathen_a king_n mention_v gen._n 14._o 18._o and_o melchisedek_n king_n of_o salem_n bring_v forth_o bread_n and_o wine_n this_o melchisedek_n be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o heb._n 7._o the_o apostle_n at_o large_a declare_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o same_o order_n with_o melchisedek_n in_o all_o thing_n typify_v by_o melchisedek_n now_o what_o sacrifice_n do_v melchisedek_n offer_v up_o unto_o the_o most_o high_a god_n bread_n and_o wine_n real_a substantial_a bread_n and_o wine_n doubtless_o then_o from_o hence_o we_o shall_v conclude_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o same_o order_n with_o melchisedek_n shall_v offer_v the_o same_o sacrifice_n with_o he_o real_a substantial_a bread_n and_o wine_n sure_o this_o make_v against_o the_o papist_n transubstantiation_n second_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o jewish_a sacrament_n which_o be_v also_o type_n of_o we_o the_o jew_n have_v in_o their_o church_n two_o sacrament_n circumcision_n and_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n and_o these_o be_v as_o i_o say_v type_n of_o what_o be_v to_o follow_v in_o christ_n who_o abolish_n that_o church_n and_o sacrament_n do_v introduce_v two_o other_o sacrament_n in_o his_o church_n baptism_n and_o the_o holy_a supper_n as_o circumcision_n be_v the_o initiate_a sacrament_n to_o the_o jew_n so_o baptism_n be_v to_o we_o and_o as_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n be_v the_o commemorate_n sacrament_n to_o the_o jew_n of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o their_o bondage_n in_o egypt_n so_o the_o holy_a supper_n be_v our_o commemorate_n sacrament_n of_o our_o deliverance_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o hell_n you_o see_v then_o that_o thus_o far_o our_o sacrament_n resemble_v those_o of_o the_o jew_n be_v there_o any_o transubstantiation_n in_o the_o jewish_a sacrament_n no_o we_o can_v then_o from_o the_o jewish_a sacrament_n find_v the_o least_o hint_n of_o transubstantiation_n in_o we_o three_o let_v u●_n compare_v our_o two_o sacrament_n one_o to_o the_o other_o be_v there_o any_o transubstantiation_n or_o any_o real_a alteration_n in_o the_o element_n of_o water_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n no_o the_o water_n still_o remain_v in_o substance_n water_n we_o can_v then_o from_o that_o sacrament_n find_v any_o ground_n for_o transubstantiation_n in_o this_o four_o let_v we_o consider_v this_o sacrament_n in_o itself_o what_o be_v our_o saviour_n intent_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o which_o certain_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a and_o the_o best_a guide_n to_o we_o in_o this_o business_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o several_a scripture_n that_o it_o be_v institute_v to_o commemorate_v our_o saviour_n passion_n and_o death_n christ_n express_o declare_v it_o so_o at_o the_o institution_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o st._n paul_n 1_o cor._n xi_o 26._o express_o declare_v it_o so_o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v now_o let_v we_o see_v if_o transubstantiation_n do_v any_o way_n help_v towards_o a_o full_a set_n forth_o the_o lord_n death_n let_v the_o papist_n show_v this_o if_o they_o can_v it_o will_v somewhat_o incline_v we_o to_o their_o transubstantiation_n for_o my_o part_n i_o profess_v sincere_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o quite_o otherwise_o for_o in_o their_o transubstantiated_a sacrament_n there_o be_v no_o representation_n of_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v nor_o of_o his_o bloodshedding_a and_o death_n for_o they_o affirm_v his_o body_n to_o be_v there_o a_o spiritual_a body_n impassable_a no_o break_n of_o it_o no_o division_n of_o the_o blood_n from_o his_o fle●h_n for_o they_o believe_v christ_n body_n to_o be_v entire_o flesh_n bones_o and_o blood_n the_o whole_a body_n under_o both_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o say_v their_o great_a doctor_n aquinas_n in_o the_o three_o part_n of_o his_o sum_n quest._n 76._o art_n 2._o and_o there_o prove_v it_o in_o his_o school-way_n so_o that_o in_o their_o sacrament_n there_o be_v nothing_o represent_v christ_n suffering_n nor_o bloodshedding_a nor_o death_n for_o first_o there_o be_v no_o real_a substance_n break_v for_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n say_v they_o be_v go_v and_o it_o be_v now_o christ_n body_n which_o be_v now_o impassable_a can_v be_v break_v the_o priest_n seem_v to_o break_v a_o wafer_n but_o it_o be_v no_o real_a wafer_n it_o be_v christ_n body_n that_o be_v not_o break_v neither_o so_o in_o truth_n and_o reality_n nothing_o be_v break_v it_o be_v break_v and_o it_o be_v not_o break_v and_o then_o for_o the_o chalice_n there_o be_v no_o wine_n nor_o christ_n blood_n apart_o it_o be_v christ_n body_n entire_a as_o they_o believe_v so_o you_o drink_v the_o same_o both_o body_n and_o blood_n together_o which_o before_o you_o have_v eat_v and_o you_o eat_v before_o the_o very_a same_o which_o you_o afterward_o drink_v so_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v be_v here_o one_o and_o the_o same_o rare_a school-device_n let_v we_o return_v to_o our_o own_o sacrament_n there_o be_v real_a bread_n and_o wine_n the_o bread_n be_v real_o break_v by_o the_o priest_n as_o it_o be_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v also_o bruise_v under_o the_o tooth_n of_o the_o eater_n so_o the_o wine_n be_v receive_v a_o part_n from_o the_o bread_n both_o in_o a_o figure_n represent_v unto_o we_o christ_n suffering_n bloodshedding_a and_o death_n and_o bury_v in_o our_o breast_n as_o in_o the_o sepulchre_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o much_o better_o our_o sacrament_n of_o real_a bread_n and_o wine_n show_v our_o saviour_n suffering_n and_o death_n than_o their_o transubstantiated_a bread_n and_o wine_n now_o consider_v how_o many_o figurative_a speech_n there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n a_o man_n can_v but_o wonder_v how_o this_o transubstantiation_n with_o accident_n only_o of_o bread_n and_o wine_n hang_v in_o the_o air_n without_o any_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o support_v they_o how_o this_o can_v come_v into_o the_o head_n of_o the_o first_o inventor_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o type_n and_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a law_n nor_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o new_a to_o give_v we_o the_o least_o hint_n of_o it_o especial_o consider_v the_o simplicity_n and_o plainness_n of_o the_o gospel_n preach_v general_o to_o a_o vulgar_a auditory_a and_o fit_v for_o their_o capacity_n and_o these_o sacrament_n institute_v for_o their_o use_n as_o well_o as_o other_o but_o the_o papist_n doctor_n have_v turn_v this_o into_o such_o a_o obscure_a scholastic_a sacrament_n that_o you_o must_v study_v logic_n physic_n metaphysic_n and_o school-divinity_n many_o year_n before_o you_o can_v understand_v what_o they_o will_v be_v at_o without_o any_o scripture-foundation_n for_o this_o their_o castle_n build_v in_o the_o air._n how_o cry_v the_o papist_n without_o any_o scripture-foundation_n look_v we_o advise_v you_o into_o st._n john_n gospel_n chap._n 6._o v._n 53_o 54_o 55_o 56._o then_o jesus_n say_v unto_o they_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o except_o you_o eat_v

for_o st._n paul_n to_o declare_v to_o the_o corinthian_n this_o great_a and_o hide_a mystery_n if_o there_o be_v any_o but_o he_o declare_v the_o contrary_a tell_v they_o it_o be_v bread_n which_o they_o do_v eat_v 1_o cor._n xi_o 26_o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o the_o bread_n be_v eat_v after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n if_o then_o it_o be_v bread_n when_o we_o eat_v there_o be_v no_o change_n at_o all_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o let_v we_o observe_v also_o st._n paul_n manner_n of_o consecration_n first_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o deliver_v unto_o they_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o show_v his_o fidelity_n in_o the_o business_n then_o proceed_v to_o the_o form_n of_o consecrate_v the_o bread_n and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o cup_n he_o say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n mark_v i_o pray_v you_o he_o do_v not_o say_v this_o wine_n but_z this_o cup._n i_o here_o ask_v the_o papist_n be_v this_o a_o literal_a or_o a_o figurative_a speech_n if_o literal_a than_o the_o cup_n be_v change_v into_o the_o blood_n so_o say_v the_o letter_n wine_n be_v not_o here_o mention_v and_o if_o you_o talk_v of_o god_n power_n god_n can_v as_o easy_o change_v the_o cup_n into_o his_o blood_n as_o the_o wine_n the_o papist_n then_o will_v needs_o have_v a_o figure_n in_o this_o consecration_n so_o we_o in_o that_o of_o the_o bread_n for_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o take_v one_o literal_o and_o the_o other_o figurative_o and_o i_o presume_v the_o papist_n will_v not_o dare_v to_o say_v that_o st._n paul_n here_o prevaricate_v in_o deliver_v what_o he_o receive_v from_o the_o lord_n yet_o st._n paul_n word_n differ_v somewhat_o from_o christ_n but_o if_o we_o take_v they_o figurative_o they_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o same_o which_o plain_o show_v all_o here_o be_v figurative_a the_o papist_n then_o have_v no_o scripture_n express_v any_o substantial_a change_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o we_o have_v a_o scripture_n clear_o express_v that_o it_o remain_v bread_n after_o consecration_n i_o suppose_v their_o figment_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v sufficient_o confute_v for_o have_v we_o ten_o scripture_n declare_v the_o same_o they_o be_v of_o no_o more_o force_n than_o one_o in_o humane_a evidence_n many_o be_v of_o more_o weight_n than_o one_o because_o man_n may_v err_v god_n can_v yet_o there_o want_v not_o other_o scripture_n strong_o imply_v a_o denial_n of_o christ_n corporal_a presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n first_o our_o saviour_n at_o the_o institution_n of_o
