the_o first_o to_o the_o corrinthyans_n that_o paul_n there_o affirm_v not_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o elder_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o we_o but_o only_o write_v this_o that_o

have_v in_o the_o sacrament_n communicate_v with_o other_o godly_a man_n wherefore_o they_o say_v that_o paul_n of_o the_o lesser_a or_o of_o the_o like_a will_v conclude_v that_o we_o also_o if_o we_o live_v wicked_o shall_v perish_v although_o we_o be_v initiate_v in_o christ_n and_o use_v the_o self_n same_o sacrament_n that_o the_o elect_v of_o god_n do_v but_o against_o this_o exposition_n the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n himself_o be_v most_o plain_o repugnant_a for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o elder_n have_v in_o their_o sacrament_n the_o self_n same_o meat_n that_o we_o have_v that_o

name_v baptism_n and_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o drink_v far_o if_o we_o follow_v the_o exposition_n of_o our_o adversary_n we_o shall_v make_v paul_n argument_n of_o small_a force_n for_o he_o mean_v to_o reprove_v the_o security_n of_o the_o corrinthyans_n which_o seem_v to_o promise_v unto_o themselves_o salvation_n for_o this_o cause_n only_o because_o they_o be_v christian_n and_o partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a misterye_n although_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o live_v lose_o and_o dissolute_o wherefore_o he_o declare_v that_o god_n will_v severe_o punish_v they_o except_o they_o repent_v as_o we_o read_v he_o punish_v the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n when_o he_o sundry_a way_n afflict_v they_o in_o the_o desert_n and_o if_o their_o sacrament_n and_o we_o be_v not_o one_o

the_o old_a father_n &_o our_o sacrament_n be_v far_o excellent_a than_o be_v their_o sacrament_n wherefore_o god_n will_v not_o afflict_v we_o neither_o ought_v thou_o to_o compare_v we_o with_o they_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v paul_n argument_n make_v of_o no_o force_n if_o we_o take_v away_o the_o similitude_n and_o proportion_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o our_o sacrament_n with_o the_o thing_n of_o yâ—_z sacrament_n of_o the_o elder_n same_o augustine_n say_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o elder_n and_o we_o at_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o farther_o also_o augustine_n in_o his_o

unto_o they_o we_o answer_v that_o image_n may_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n be_v take_v for_o some_o be_v outward_o vain_a and_o void_a and_o contain_v nothing_o other_o image_n have_v in_o deed_n

not_o a_o little_a serve_v that_o which_o paul_n write_v in_o the_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n the._n 1._o chapter_n all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v through_o he_o yea_o and_o

of_o the_o jew_n or_o of_o the_o gentile_n christ_n as_o touch_v that_o conversation_n which_o he_o have_v place_n the_o promise_n of_o god_n lean_v only_o to_o mercy_n in_o the_o graft_n in_o of_o

mercy_n can_v have_v move_v he_o to_o promise_v unto_o the_o father_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v of_o their_o stock_n and_o although_o the_o gentile_n be_v say_v to_o be_v graft_v in_o by_o mercy_n yet_o here_o also_o truth_n have_v place_n for_o god_n know_v even_o from_o eternal_o that_o the_o gentile_n shall_v be_v call_v to_o salvation_n wherefore_o it_o be_v true_a for_o thing_n false_a can_v not_o be_v know_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o that_o truth_n shall_v attain_v to_o his_o effect_n moreover_o the_o scripture_n keep_v not_o in_o silence_n that_o the_o

without_o all_o manner_n of_o doubt_n to_o be_v true_a wherefore_o the_o graft_n in_o of_o the_o gentile_n pertain_v to_o truth_n but_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v overhip_v that_o paul_n when_o he_o entreat_v of_o the_o jew_n speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o truth_n but_o also_o straight_a way_n after_o it_o make_v mention_v man_n whether_o the_o call_n in_o of_o the_o gentile_n be_v

this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v speak_v rather_o in_o the_o way_n of_o foretell_v then_o in_o the_o way_n of_o promise_n and_o if_o a_o man_n think_v this_o reason_n somewhat_o weak_a he_o may_v
