bewail_v it_o in_o thy_o heart_n and_o say_v unto_o god_n o_o lord_n thou_o be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n thou_o can_v deliver_v this_o poor_a wretched_a creature_n from_o the_o dunghill_n of_o sin_n so_o

of_o church_n not_o to_o presume_v nor_o to_o be_v proud_a it_o be_v very_o dangerous_a when_o a_o presumptuous_a man_n be_v put_v into_o the_o office_n of_o a_o minister_n for_o he_o know_v not_o

the_o condemnation_n of_o those_o that_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o see_v now_o how_o our_o manna_n answer_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o that_o of_o old_a and_o how_o much_o more_o excellent_a it_o be_v then_o that_o be_v for_o it_o have_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a essential_o in_o itself_o nor_o do_v it_o feed_v the_o body_n only_o but_o special_o it_o nourish_v the_o soul_n it_o give_v eternal_a life_n the_o old_a manna_n have_v no_o such_o thing_n let_v we_o then_o be_v thankful_a and_o take_v heed_n we_o abuse_v not_o this_o heavenly_a bread_n hitherto_o i_o suppose_v i_o have_v make_v it_o clear_a how_o express_o the_o mystery_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v foreshew_v in_o those_o two_o figure_n the_o paschal_n lamb_n and_o manna_n let_v we_o here_o add_v a_o three_o

be_v say_v he_o be_v without_o father_n without_o mother_n without_o beginning_n without_o end_n also_o king_n of_o zedek_n i._n e._n of_o righteousness_n and_o prince_n of_o salem_n i._n e._n of_o peace_n and_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n christ_n true_o and_o most_o absolute_o have_v all_o these_o title_n and_o as_o melchisedeck_v bring_v bread_n and_o wine_n to_o abraham_n when_o he_o come_v from_o the_o battle_n so_o christ_n in_o his_o last_o supper_n give_v the_o sacrament_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o his_o disciple_n he_o ordain_v and_o institute_v it_o especial_o for_o the_o comfort_n and_o refreshment_n of_o those_o who_o bicker_v and_o fight_v with_o the_o devil_n and_o as_o melchisedeck_v first_o of_o all_o offer_a bread_n and_o wine_n unto_o god_n and_o afterward_o feed_v abraham_n and_o his_o company_n therewith_o so_o this_o our_o sacrament_n be_v not_o only_o a_o refresh_n of_o the_o weak_a and_o weary_a but_o also_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o be_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n this_o do_v say_v he_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o 1._o 1._o most_o proper_o be_v it_o call_v a_o sacrifice_n because_o the_o true_a use_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v to_o offer_v thanks_o and_o praise_n to_o god_n when_o we_o receive_v it_o 2._o 2._o second_o because_o here_o that_o only_a sacrifice_n be_v represent_v and_o as_o it_o be_v set_v before_o our_o eye_n even_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o christ_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n whereby_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v stay_v by_o his_o crucify_a son_n who_o put_v he_o still_o in_o mind_n that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o be_v propitious_a unto_o we_o for_o his_o death_n and_o passion-sake_n 3._o 3._o to_o say_v nothing_o that_o we_o by_o this_o sacrament_n be_v also_o put_v in_o mind_n to_o offer_v ourselves_o to_o god_n as_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o we_o thus_o it_o may_v fit_o be_v call_v a_o sacrifice_n so_o then_o this_o figure_n do_v every_o way_n answer_n to_o our_o sacrament_n all_o this_o i_o have_v speak_v the_o rather_o to_o affect_v we_o with_o the_o great_a faith_n and_o devotion_n towards_o that_o most_o
