in_o the_o spirit_n under_o the_o gospel_n we_o worship_v now_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n not_o by_o representation_n as_o under_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o gospell-ordinance_n be_v so_o few_o so_o plain_a and_o poor_a to_o the_o eye_n that_o the_o soul_n may_v not_o be_v take_v up_o with_o the_o sign_n but_o with_o thing_n spiritual_a and_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o as_o little_a as_o can_v be_v of_o outward_a element_n be_v make_v use_n on_o as_o in_o baptism_n mere_a water_n and_o in_o the_o supper_n wine_n and_o bread_n and_o the_o first_o ordinance_n be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n not_o of_o water_n and_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n not_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o faith_n the_o apostle_n if_o we_o have_v know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n henceforth_o know_v we_o have_v no_o more_o and_o further_o what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v say_v of_o grace_n come_v in_o by_o the_o eye_n this_o be_v the_o way_n the_o papist_n let_v in_o christ_n have_v make_v the_o eye_n rather_o the_o organ_n for_o conversion_n then_o the_o ear_n now_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o therefore_o all_o their_o idolatrous_a picture_n their_o imagery_n and_o theabicall_a representation_n be_v all_o for_o the_o eye_n and_o bring_v in_o christ_n by_o obtick_n or_o sense_n and_o make_v conversion_n to_o be_v by_o perspective_n and_o work_v only_o a_o historical_a faith_n and_o further_o what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v say_v of_o work_a grace_n by_o the_o eye_n as_o if_o the_o carnal_a part_n can_v advantage_v conversion_n by_o any_o power_n there_o but_o such_o a_o power_n as_o be_v mere_o carnal_a and_o natural_a what_o can_v all_o these_o sign_n of_o

that_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n which_o if_o the_o supper_n have_v be_v a_o
