not_o believe_v he_o still_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o faith_n and_o faith_n have_v relation_n to_o a_o word_n of_o promise_n the_o word_n of_o promise_n be_v this_o be_v my_o

body_n to_o i_o because_o god_n be_v faithful_a in_o perform_v his_o promise_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o know_v which_o way_n or_o after_o what_o manner_n he_o will_v or_o do_v perform_v it_o because_o he_o have_v not_o show_v i_o if_o i_o know_v the_o manner_n how_o god_n do_v make_v it_o his_o body_n than_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o i_o as_o matter_n rather_o of_o reason_n and_o

you_o ask_v i_o the_o manner_n how_o i_o confess_v i_o know_v not_o and_o if_o i_o know_v the_o manner_n how_o then_o that_o article_n of_o christ_n conception_n be_v to_o i_o rather_o a_o matter_n of_o knowledge_n than_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n moreover_o see_v these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v word_n of_o promise_n and_o see_v that_o both_o protestant_n and_o lutheran_n and_o papist_n do_v all_o agree_v that_o by_o the_o sacrament_n christ_n do_v real_o and_o true_o perform_v in_o we_o his_o promise_n what_o do_v it_o profit_v we_o to_o know_v whether_o he_o do_v it_o by_o

howsoever_o it_o stand_v therefore_o i_o advise_v you_o to_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o a_o most_o judicious_a and_o excellent_a divine_a master_n hooker_n who_o will_v 5._o eccl._n polit._n lib._n 5._o you_o to_o take_v that_o wherein_o all_o side_n both_o protestant_n and_o papist_n and_o lutheran_n do_v agree_v and_o consent_n and_o then_o consider_v by_o itself_o what_o cause_n there_o be_v why_o the_o rest_n in_o question_n shall_v not_o rather_o be_v reject_v as_o superfluous_a then_o urge_v as_o necessary_a it_o be_v on_o all_o side_n confess_v first_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a participation_n of_o christ_n who_o thereby_o impart_v not_o only_a totum_fw-la svi_fw-la but_o totum_fw-la se_fw-la himself_o whole_o even_o his_o whole_a entire_a person_n as_o a_o mystical_a head_n unto_o every_o soul_n that_o receive_v he_o and_o that_o every_o such_o receiver_n do_v incorporate_a or_o unite_v himself_o to_o christ_n as_o a_o mystical_a member_n of_o he_o yea_o and_o as_o a_o fellow_n member_n of_o all_o true_a christian_a soul_n live_v on_o earth_n or_o triumph_v in_o heaven_n second_o it_o be_v also_o agree_v on_o that_o to_o who_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n be_v thus_o communicate_v to_o they_o he_o give_v by_o the_o same_o sacrament_n his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o sanctify_v they_o as_o it_o sanctifi_v he_o which_o be_v their_o head_n three_o it_o be_v likewise_o confess_v that_o what_o merit_n force_v virtue_n or_o efficacy_n there_o be_v in_o the_o sanctify_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o do_v free_o full_o and_o whole_o receive_v it_o by_o this_o sacrament_n four_o all_o side_n say_v that_o the_o effect_n thereof_o in_o we_o be_v a_o real_a transmutation_n of_o our_o soul_n from_o sin_n to_o righteousness_n from_o death_n and_o corruption_n to_o immortality_n and_o life_n five_o all_o side_n confess_v that_o because_o the_o sacrament_n i_o mean_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v of_o itself_o but_o a_o corruptible_a and_o earthly_a creature_n must_v needs_o be_v think_v a_o unlikely_a instrument_n to_o work_v so_o admirable_a effect_n in_o man_n we_o therefore_o be_v to_o rest_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n omnipotency_n upon_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o glorious_a and_o unresistable_a power_n who_o be_v able_a and_o will_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o cup_n which_o he_o give_v we_o shall_v be_v real_o and_o true_o that_o thing_n which_o he_o promise_v this_o be_v agree_v on_o all_o side_n and_o tbis_fw-la be_v as_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v and_o believe_v touch_v our_o receive_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o the_o comfort_n of_o our_o soul_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o faith_n be_v application_n therefore_o every_o communicant_a must_v not_o only_o know_v but_o apply_v that_o in_o particular_a to_o himself_o which_o he_o believe_v in_o general_a as_o that_o christ_n body_n be_v crucify_v for_o he_o and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o he_o saint_n paul_n teach_v it_o by_o his_o own_o example_n i_o live_v say_v he_o 20._o galat._n 2._o 20._o by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o have_v love_v i_o and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o i_o and_o this_o application_n can_v be_v better_o perform_v then_o in_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n for_o so_o often_o as_o we_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n we_o 26._o 1._o cor._n 11._o 26._o do_v commemorate_v the_o lord_n death_n every_o communion_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a crucifixion_n of_o christ_n christ_n be_v crucify_v at_o jerusalem_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v the_o galatian_n that_o he_o be_v crucify_v among_o they_o not_o that_o 1._o gal._n 3._o 1._o he_o suffer_v death_n in_o galatia_n but_o because_o of_o the_o communion_n which_o be_v a_o commemoration_n and_o representation_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n therefore_o when_o i_o kneel_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n to_o the_o end_n that_o i_o more_o effectual_o apply_v christ_n to_o my_o own_o soul_n i_o be_o to_o set_v myself_o as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o very_a foot_n of_o christ_n his_o cross_n and_o to_o
