the_o last_o year_n 1562._o with_o plague_n war_n and_o famine_n see_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o the_o abuse_n and_o profane_v of_o the_o holy_a supper_n

twelve_o be_v that_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v bodily_a eat_v there_o be_v no_o necessity_n to_o prove_v &_o to_o examine_v our_o faith_n or_o our_o conscience_n when_o we_o will_v prepare_v ourselves_o to_o the_o eat_n of_o his_o supper_n but_o only_o our_o tooth_n to_o wit_n whither_o they_o be_v sharp_a and_o able_a enough_o to_o chew_v it_o and_o the_o stomach_n to_o see_v whither_o it_o be_v apt_a to_o digest_v it_o as_o we_o do_v in_o all_o other_o corporal_a meat_n the_o thirteen_o be_v that_o we_o eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n even_o in_o the_o self_n &_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v do_v long_o before_o us._n but_o they_o do_v not_o eat_v the_o same_o corporal_o for_o so_o man_n may_v have_v see_v the_o apostle_n eat_v his_o body_n with_o their_o bodily_a eye_n even_o as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v see_v his_o body_n before_o they_o when_o he_o minister_v the_o same_o unto_o they_o now_o we_o must_v infer_v that_o no_o more_o do_v we_o eat_v his_o flesh_n corporal_o if_o any_o will_v say_v that_o god_n by_o a_o miracle_n provide_v that_o this_o eat_n be_v not_o discern_v with_o bodily_a eye_n to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v abhor_v i_o answer_v that_o in_o this_o case_n the_o only_a conceit_n and_o inward_a imagination_n be_v sufficient_a as_o we_o read_v of_o s._n peter_n who_o in_o a_o vision_n abhor_v the_o eat_n of_o those_o creature_n 10._o act._n 10._o that_o be_v in_o the_o law_n forbid_v to_o be_v eat_v the_o fourteen_o be_v that_o it_o be_v plain_o forbid_v in_o genesis_n 6._o gen._n 6._o to_o eat_v flesh_n with_o the_o life_n thereof_o that_o be_v with_o the_o blood_n thereof_o whereupon_o it_o may_v be_v infer_v that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v not_o come_v to_o abolish_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n have_v not_o enjoin_v we_o a_o thing_n so_o strict_o forbid_v &_o even_o more_o abominable_a than_o murder_n and_o the_o reason_n allege_v by_o s._n augustine_n to_o show_v that_o all_o the_o place_n wherein_o jesus_n christ_n do_v exhort_v his_o disciple_n to_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o to_o drink_v his_o blood_n be_v use_v by_o way_n of_o figure_a and_o shadow_v speech_n i_o will_v turn_v the_o place_n of_o s._n augustine_n in_o his_o book_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o reader_n may_v understand_v his_o judgement_n in_o this_o matter_n if_o there_o be_v any_o sentence_n or_o any_o manner_n of_o speech_n in_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o that_o seem_v to_o command_v any_o outrage_n or_o wickedness_n or_o contrary_o to_o forbid_v any_o bountiful_a and_o liberal_a action_n the_o same_o be_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o a_o figure_n but_o this_o sentence_n follow_v 9_o joh._n 9_o except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o seem_v to_o command_v a_o horrible_a and_o detestable_a case_n wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o this_o be_v a_o figure_n by_o the_o which_o he_o command_v we_o to_o be_v partaker_n and_o to_o have_v communion_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o the_o profit_n and_o comfort_n of_o our_o conscience_n to_o enclose_v this_o point_n within_o the_o most_o secret_a corner_n of_o our_o memory_n that_o his_o humanity_n be_v crucify_v and_o wound_v for_o our_o cause_n this_o be_v s._n augustine_n his_o judgement_n which_o i_o have_v turn_v word_n for_o word_n the_o fifteen_o be_v that_o we_o can_v receive_v the_o corporal_a eat_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o we_o must_v admit_v &_o allow_v his_o body_n to_o be_v infinite_a which_o thing_n entire_o derogate_v from_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n utter_o overthrow_v the_o chief_a ground_n &_o most_o principal_a foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o except_o we_o believe_v he_o to_o have_v be_v man_n and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n our_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n only_o reserve_v like_v unto_o we_o whereupon_o shall_v we_o build_v our_o assurance_n and_o persuasion_n that_o he_o have_v redeem_v and_o ransom_v our_o nature_n and_o that_o he_o be_v our_o high_a priest_n which_o have_v compassion_n upon_o all_o our_o infirmity_n further_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o we_o can_v devise_v to_o speak_v any_o thing_n more_o favourable_a and_o available_a for_o the_o herise_n of_o martion_n and_o apollinaris_n the_o one_o of_o who_o maintain_v that_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o fantastic_a body_n and_o the_o other_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o heavenly_a body_n as_o the_o foresay_a corporal_a eat_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v heavenly_a the_o sixteenth_o be_v that_o if_o we_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n bodily_a the_o substance_n of_o our_o body_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v augment_v thereby_o and_o nourish_v even_o as_o it_o be_v by_o other_o corporal_a meat_n that_o we_o receive_v a_o thing_n whole_o and_o altogether_o contrary_a to_o experience_n for_o the_o body_n of_o the_o faithful_a notwithstanding_o the_o eat_v only_o of_o his_o flesh_n &_o drink_v of_o his_o blood_n must_v of_o necessity_n perish_v and_o wither_v away_o except_o they_o be_v nourish_v and_o preserve_v by_o some_o other_o food_n or_o else_o by_o some_o other_o mean_a the_o seventeenth_o be_v that_o as_o we_o do_v not_o eat_v corporal_a meat_n spiritual_o even_o so_o we_o can_v not_o eat_v according_a to_o this_o proportion_n thing_n spiritual_a carnal_o the_o eighteen_o be_v that_o if_o we_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n corporal_o so_o little_a a_o body_n as_o he_o be_v be_v so_o break_v in_o piece_n and_o part_v shall_v not_o suffice_v so_o many_o as_o by_o eat_v be_v make_v partaker_n thereof_o wherefore_o we_o may_v safe_o infer_v upon_o all_o these_o reason_n that_o the_o mean_v whereby_o we_o be_v join_v to_o jesus_n christ_n be_v spiritual_a and_o that_o by_o faith_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o do_v eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v unite_v and_o ingraft_v in_o his_o body_n and_o more_o and_o more_o link_v and_o ally_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o say_v saint_n augustine_n very_o plain_o write_v upon_o the_o 26._o psalm_n behold_v say_v that_o holy_a father_n our_o pledge_n and_o our_o assurance_n that_o we_o by_o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n be_v for_o ever_o join_v to_o our_o head_n in_o heaven_n as_o he_o by_o divinity_n bounty_n &_o union_n be_v with_o we_o upon_o the_o earth_n even_o unto_o the_o world_n end_n and_o upon_o the_o 30._o psa_fw-la whole_a christ_n be_v the_o head_n with_o the_o body_n the_o head_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o body_n the_o head_n i_o say_v which_o be_v already_o ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o the_o body_n be_v the_o church_n which_o yet_o do_v labour_n and_o be_v sore_o trouble_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n now_o if_o the_o body_n have_v not_o be_v join_v and_o bind_v to_o the_o head_n with_o a_o chain_n of_o charity_n that_o of_o the_o head_n &_o body_n there_o may_v be_v make_v but_o one_o he_o will_v never_o have_v speak_v from_o heaven_n in_o this_o manner_n rebuke_v that_o persecutor_n saul_n saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o 22._o act._n 22._o minist_n then_o this_o join_n be_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o thing_n natural_a or_o contain_v and_o circunscribe_v and_o enclose_v in_o any_o place_n as_o the_o join_v together_o of_o two_o stone_n in_o one_o place_n with_o lime_n and_o sand_n or_o of_o two_o piece_n of_o wood_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o with_o glue_v but_o it_o be_v a_o divine_a and_o mystical_a join_v as_o you_o have_v sufficient_o declare_v and_o what_o manner_n of_o faith_n we_o ought_v to_o bring_v with_o we_o when_o we_o come_v to_o celebrate_v the_o supper_n now_o if_o it_o please_v you_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o proceed_v &_o to_o show_v i_o in_o like_a manner_n what_o manner_n of_o charity_n be_v require_v euseb_n we_o may_v carry_v no_o hatred_n ne_o any_o evil_a affection_n in_o our_o
