at_o the_o last_o day_n shall_v be_v carry_v up_o to_o heaven_n all_o the_o miracle_n from_o the_o first_o to_o the_o last_o tend_v to_o carry_v man_n to_o heaven_n and_o by_o their_o beginning_n

and_o yet_o enoch_n have_v already_o live_v above_o three_o hundred_o year_n before_o the_o decease_n of_o adam_n but_o after_o that_o adam_n be_v dead_a enoch_n be_v the_o first_o patriarch_n that_o

great_a faith_n be_v enlighten_v but_o by_o a_o little_a spark_n of_o a_o strange_a method_n by_o which_o god_n oblige_v man_n to_o believe_v it_o be_v a_o impertinency_n and_o folly_n for_o one_o man_n to_o say_v to_o another_o i_o command_v thou_o to_o believe_v this_o for_o belief_n be_v not_o form_v by_o commandment_n but_o by_o persuasion_n none_o be_v master_n of_o the_o belief_n of_o another_o no_o not_o of_o his_o own_o for_o a_o man_n can_v believe_v all_o that_o he_o will_v yea_o he_o be_v often_o constrain_v to_o believe_v that_o which_o he_o will_v not_o as_o the_o devil_n

but_o in_o that_o of_o a_o narration_n nevertheless_o god_n do_v not_o only_o invite_v we_o to_o believe_v in_o present_v to_o we_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o himself_o command_v we_o this_o be_v his_o commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n 1_o joh._n 3.23_o upon_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o in_o command_v to_o believe_v he_o can_v cause_v we_o to_o believe_v his_o word_n when_o it_o please_v he_o to_o animate_v they_o with_o his_o spirit_n plant_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o

upon_o the_o secret_a virtue_n of_o their_o author_n it_o be_v a_o great_a impropriety_n every_o way_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v command_v i_o to_o believe_v for_o with_o all_o his_o commandment_n he_o can_v cause_v i_o to_o believe_v as_o long_o as_o my_o spirit_n persuade_v i_o to_o the_o contrary_n but_o god_n who_o be_v the_o father_n and_o the_o master_n of_o spirit_n can_v speak_v in_o the_o term_n of_o command_v because_o in_o command_v to_o believe_v in_o effect_n he_o give_v the_o grace_n to_o believe_v so_o that_o language_n which_o be_v absurd_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n be_v admirable_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n of_o those_o that_o promise_v to_o believe_v if_o the_o truth_n be_v show_v unto_o they_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o ordinary_a among_o they_o which_o dispute_v against_o the_o true_a religion_n than_o these_o word_n prove_v i_o that_o which_o you_o say_v and_o i_o will_v believe_v it_o but_o these_o people_n speak_v as_o if_o faith_n only_o depend_v upon_o themselves_o they_o promise_v that_o which_o be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n this_o be_v as_o if_o a_o blind_a man_n shall_v promise_v to_o know_v colour_n provide_v they_o be_v show_v unto_o he_o the_o truth_n what_o evidence_n soever_o it_o bring_v with_o it_o be_v not_o perceptible_a but_o to_o he_o that_o have_v eye_n capable_a of_o discern_v it_o now_o this_o

say_v this_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n if_o we_o consider_v he_o as_o author_n of_o the_o communion_n which_o we_o have_v with_o his_o father_n there_o present_v itself_o to_o we_o the_o title_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n there_o be_v also_o other_o subject_n to_o every_o one_o of_o which_o there_o may_v be_v refer_v one_o or_o more_o of_o these_o title_n it_o will_v be_v say_v upon_o this_o the_o scripture_n itself_o do_v not_o observe_v these_o distinction_n use_v these_o name_n indifferent_o upon_o every_o occasion_n now_o i_o confess_v that_o in_o so_o great_a a_o multitude_n of_o passage_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o which_o these_o name_n be_v repeat_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o say_v why_o one_o be_v rather_o express_v then_o the_o other_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n and_o then_o when_o all_o these_o name_n or_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v find_v join_v together_o it_o be_v to_o express_v the_o plenitude_n and_o perfection_n of_o he_o to_o who_o all_o these_o title_n appertain_v in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o be_v almost_o everywhere_o call_v jesus_n without_o other_o epithet_n or_o attribute_n because_o this_o be_v the_o only_a name_n which_o man_n give_v he_o while_o he_o converse_v in_o the_o world_n the_o man_n who_o they_o call_v jesus_n say_v the_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v blind_a joh._n 9.11_o sometime_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o call_v he_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n but_o this_o be_v when_o they_o speak_v to_o the_o jew_n who_o call_v he_o so_o this_o language_n will_v not_o be_v so_o convenient_a at_o this_o day_n i_o pass_v by_o a_o question_n which_o may_v be_v move_v why_o the_o apostle_n philip._n 2._o say_v that_o every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o why_o he_o do_v not_o say_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o at_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n a_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v but_o for_o the_o rest_n we_o adore_v not_o the_o syllable_n but_o he_o that_o be_v represent_v by_o that_o name_n and_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v no_o less_o venerable_a than_o then_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n but_o i_o be_o to_o make_v a_o observation_n against_o the_o ordinary_a practice_n of_o christian_n and_o of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o preacher_n themselves_o when_o they_o pronounce_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n alone_o this_o be_v either_o by_o way_n of_o abbreviation_n or_o else_o by_o way_n of_o custom_n without_o think_v whether_o it_o be_v to_o purpose_n to_o say_v only_a christ_n or_o to_o say_v jesus_n christ_n or_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v note_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o his_o suffering_n and_o his_o death_n ordinary_o they_o give_v he_o none_o other_o than_o the_o only_a name_n of_o christ_n christ_n be_v dead_a christ_n have_v suffer_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v suffer_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n this_o may_v be_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n include_v that_o of_o priest_n which_o be_v the_o quality_n in_o which_o christ_n offer_v himself_o to_o death_n the_o apostle_n rom._n 6.8_o 11._o say_v that_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n but_o live_v in_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n i_o know_v that_o there_o may_v be_v oppose_v some_o exception_n yet_o in_o every_o one_o of_o they_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a cause_n why_o one_o of_o those_o name_n be_v rather_o use_v then_o another_o i_o will_v produce_v one_o example_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o think_v he_o speak_v amiss_o when_o he_o say_v the_o supper_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o supper_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o a_o truth_n this_o be_v not_o a_o heresy_n but_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v a_o impropriety_n for_o if_o we_o will_v speak_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n we_o shall_v say_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n not_o the_o supper_n of_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v a_o particularity_n remarkable_a that_o in_o the_o whole_a description_n of_o the_o supper_n exhibit_v by_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 11._o and_o in_o all_o the_o discourse_n which_o he_o make_v of_o this_o subject_n and_o the_o author_n of_o it_o he_o never_o give_v other_o name_n than_o that_o of_o the_o lord_n the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o which_o also_o i_o have_v deliver_v unto_o you_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o right_n in_o the_o which_o he_o be_v betray_v take_v bread_n you_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n the_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n not_o discern_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o forbear_v to_o speak_v why_o in_o all_o this_o deduction_n the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o once_o mention_v and_o that_o of_o the_o lord_n be_v continual_o express_v but_o this_o example_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o use_v discretion_n even_o then_o when_o we_o pronounce_v the_o title_n of_o he_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v a_o name_n above_o every_o name_n wherefore_o jesus_n who_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n as_o well_o of_o the_o one_o as_o
