thou_o first_o of_o all_o &_o look_v for_o thy_o request_n at_o god_n hand_n without_o any_o doubt_n though_o forthwith_o thou_o feel_v not_o the_o same_o for_o oftentimes_o we_o have_v thing_n of_o

be_v first_o second_o because_o the_o same_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o hear_n not_o of_o mass_n matin_n cannon_n counsel_n docttor_n decree_n but_o out_o of_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n get_v thou_o god_n word_n but_o not_o that_o part_n which_o serve_v special_o to_o contrition_n that_o be_v the_o law_n but_o you_o other_o part_n which_o serve_v special_o to_o consolation_n and_o

know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o promise_n one_o which_o be_v property_n of_o the_o law_n a_o other_o which_o be_v proper_o of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n we_o may_v in_o deed_n behold_v god_n mercy_n but_o so_o that_o it_o hang_v upon_o the_o condition_n rfour_fw-fr worthiness_n as_o if_o thou_o love_v the_o lord_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n etc_n etc_n thou_o shall_v find_v mercy_n this_o kind_n of_o promise_n though_o it_o declare_v unto_o we_o god_n love_n which_o promise_v where_o he_o need_v not_o yet_o unto_o he_o that_o feel_v not_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o comfort_v that_o utter_o with_o the_o law_n they_o bring_v man_n to_o great_a despair_n so_o great_o we_o be_v corrupt_v for_o none_o so_o love_v god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v from_o these_o therefore_o get_v thou_o to_o the_o other_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o which_o we_o may_v see_v such_o plenty_n and_o

the_o condition_n of_o our_o worthiness_n as_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n do_v but_o they_o depend_v and_o hang_v on_o god_n truth_n that_o as_o god_n be_v true_a so_o they_o can_v but_o be_v perform_v to_o all_o they_o which_o lie_v hold_v on_o they_o by_o faith_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v which_o cast_v they_o not_o away_o by_o unbelief_n mark_v in_o they_o therefore_o two_o thing_n

salvation_n amen_n now_o to_o return_v to_o the_o second_o matter_n what_o the_o sacrament_n be_v you_o see_v that_o to_o the_o sense_n and_o reason_n of_o man_n it_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v most_o true_a as_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o other_o wise_n i_o have_v allreadye_o prove_v and_o therefore_o away_o with_o transubstantiation_n but_o here_o lest_o we_o shall_v make_v it_o no_o sacrament_n for_o a_o sacrament_n consist_v of_o two_o thing_n &_o lest_o a_o man_n shall_v by_o this_o gather_v 〈◊〉_d we_o make_v it_o none_o other_o thing_n 〈◊〉_d bare_a bread_n and_o a_o

be_v but_o bare_a bread_n and_o so_o forth_o for_o this_o purpose_n i_o will_v now_o speak_v a_o little_a more_o hereabout_o by_o god_n grace_n to_o stop_v their_o mouth_n and_o to_o stir_v up_o your_o good_a heart_n more_o to_o the_o worthy_a estimation_n &_o perception_n of_o this_o holy_a mystery_n when_o a_o love_a friend_n give_v to_o thou_o a_o thing_n or_o send_v to_o thou_o a_o token_n as_o for_o a_o example_n a_o napkin_n or_o such_o like_a i_o think_v thou_o do_v not_o as_o thou_o shall_v do_v if_o that_o with_o the_o thing_n thou_o consider_v not_o the_o mind_n of_o thy_o friend_n that_o send_v or_o give_v the_o thing_n and_o according_a the_o runto_z esteme_a and_o receyv_a it_o and_o so_o of_o this_o bread_n think_v i_o that_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o rather_o consider_v the_o mind_n of_o thy_o lover_n christ_n than_o the_o thing_n which_o thou_o see_v yea_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o altogether_o consider_v christ_n mind_n thou_o deal_v unhonest_o &_o strumpetlike_a with_o he_o for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o strumpet_n to_o consider_v the_o thing_n give_v and_o send_v they_o rather_o than_o the_o love_n &_o mind_n of_o the_o giver_n and_o sender_n whereas_o the_o true_a lover_n do_v not_o consider_v in_o any_o point_n the_o thing_n give_v or_o send_v but_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o party_n so_o we_o if_o we_o be_v true_a lover_n of_o christ_n must_v not_o consider_v bare_o the_o outward_a thing_n which_o we_o see_v and_o our_o sense_n perceive_v but_o rather_o altogether_o we_o must_v &_o shall_v see_v and_o consider_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n and_o thereafter_o and_o according_a to_o it_o to_o esteem_v the_o sacrament_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o chryst_n for_o soothe_v as_o a_o man_n mind_n be_v best_a know_v by_o his_o word_n so_o by_o christ_n word_n shall_v we_o know_v his_o mind_n how_o his_o word_n be_v manifest_a and_o most_o plain_a this_o say_v he_o be_v my_o dody_n therefore_o according_o shall_v we_o esteem_v take_v and_o receive_v it_o if_o he_o have_v speak_v nothing_o or_o if_o he_o have_v speak_v doubtful_o then_o may_v we_o have_v be_v in_o some_o doubt_n but_o in_o that_o he_o speak_v so_o plain_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n who_o can_v may_v or_o dare_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o doubt_v of_o it_o he_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o can_v lie_v he_o be_v

the_o stone_n take_v out_o of_o jordane_n gedeons_n fleece_n of_o wool_n etc_n etc_n such_o as_o these_o be_v sign_n significative_a and_o show_v no_o gift_n but_o in_o the_o other_o sign_n which_o some_o call_v exhibitive_a be_v there_o not_o only_o a_o signification_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o also_o a_o declaration_n of_o a_o gift_n yea_o in_o a_o certain_a manner_n a_o give_v also_o as_o

of_o these_o sacrament_n be_v trausubstantiate_a which_o i_o have_v already_o impugn_a either_o as_o though_o christ_n body_n wér_n in_o the_o bread_n or_o wine_n either_o be_v ●yed_v to_o the_o
