that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n there_o be_v no_o atonement_n for_o sin_n without_o blood_n for_o in_o the_o blood_n lie_v the_o life_n &_o the_o life_n of_o the_o sinner_n be_v to_o answer_v for_o his_o sin_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v partly_o burn_v into_o ash_n partly_o eat_v by_o the_o priest_n or_o congregation_n that_o

israelite_n from_o the_o destroy_a angel_n but_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v strike_v upon_o the_o lintel_n of_o the_o door_n nor_o can_v the_o papist_n plead_v the_o no_o necessity_n of_o administer_a the_o cup_n because_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o celebration_n of_o their_o passeover_n and_o the_o priest_n and_o people_n in_o their_o sacrifice_n only_o eat_v of_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o lamb_n or_o bullock_n and_o not_o drink_v the_o blood_n but_o either_o spill_v it_o or_o sprinkle_v it_o up_o &_o down_o for_o first_o we_o have_v here_o christ_n express_a command_n drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o whereas_o they_o be_v bid_v to_o the_o contrary_n and_o then_o which_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n christ_n merit_n as_o be_v say_v before_o lie_v most_o in_o his_o blood_n so_o that_o to_o give_v ourselves_o a_o interest_n in_o his_o suffering_n we_o must_v partake_v of_o his_o blood_n as_o well_o as_o of_o his_o body_n but_o why_o be_v the_o symbol_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n call_v a_o cup_n whereas_o that_o by_o which_o his_o holy_a body_n be_v represent_v be_v plain_o term_v bread_n now_o bread_n and_o cup_n be_v not_o direct_a opposite_n nor_o answer_v one_o another_o but_o bread_n and_o wine_n this_o by_o the_o papist_n own_o confession_n must_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v a_o figure_n call_v metonymy_n of_o the_o vessel_n contain_v for_o the_o liquor_n contain_v the_o cup_n for_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o cup._n now_o therefore_o if_o the_o cup_n be_v not_o real_o turn_v into_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n neither_o be_v the_o bread_n change_v into_o flesh_n for_o just_a as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o bread_n this_o be_v my_o body_n so_o he_o say_v of_o the_o cup_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o figure_n in_o one_o place_n why_o not_o in_o both_o or_o can_v we_o suppose_v that_o our_o saviour_n in_o a_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a concernment_n will_v not_o have_v speak_v proper_o here_o too_o as_o he_o do_v before_o but_o the_o truth_n on_o it_o be_v we_o shall_v on_o all_o hand_n run_v ourselves_o into_o a_o world_n of_o absurdity_n shall_v we_o take_v word_n strict_o as_o they_o sound_v and_o not_o allow_v they_o a_o fair_a meaning_n according_a to_o popular_a use_n and_o custom_n of_o speak_v for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o shall_v have_v city_n with_o wall_n up_o to_o heaven_n christ_n will_v be_v turn_v into_o one_o rock_n peter_n into_o another_o herod_n will_v be_v metamorphose_v into_o a_o fox_n and_o ovid_n fable_n will_v hardly_o seem_v more_o strange_a than_o scripture_n but_o rhetoric_n teach_v we_o the_o convenience_n and_o vulgar_a custom_n the_o necessity_n of_o use_v figure_n &_o no_o question_n but_o our_o saviour_n make_v use_v of_o the_o liberty_n in_o this_o sacred_a institution_n now_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o figure_n whereby_o the_o cup_n be_v put_v for_o the_o wine_n whereas_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v proper_o express_v by_o the_o name_n of_o bread_n may_v be_v this_o because_o bread_n be_v of_o a_o solid_a substance_n be_v of_o itself_o easy_o lay_v hold_v on_o and_o take_v up_o with_o the_o hand_n but_o wine_n be_v of_o a_o

these_o two_o particle_n imply_v partly_o that_o christ_n do_v as_o well_o appoint_v the_o use_n of_o wine_n as_o of_o bread_n to_o make_v this_o holy_a supper_n a_o entire_a sacrament_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o either_o shall_v be_v take_v away_o the_o mystery_n will_v be_v maim_v and_o imperfect_a partly_o that_o he_o do_v in_o like_a manner_n and_o after_o the_o self_n same_o fashion_n consecrate_v the_o symbol_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n as_o he_o do_v that_o of_o his_o holy_a body_n use_v the_o same_o action_n and_o almost_o word_n for_o as_o he_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o
