of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o the_o holy_a baptism_n and_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v ordain_v of_o christ_n himself_o to_o that_o end_n that_o christian_n shall_v use_v they_o hold_v they_o in_o great_a reverence_n and_o not_o despise_v they_o for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o only_a

some_o do_v suffer_v they_o to_o be_v 8._o 9_o or_o 10._o year_n old_a till_o they_o be_v of_o some_o reasonable_a discretion_n and_o then_o first_o baptise_v they_o but_o rather_o much_o more_o

and_o conclude_v in_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o the_o believe_a father_n heretofore_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o ought_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n seclude_v or_o forclose_v they_o from_o the_o holy_a baptism_n of_o the_o efficacy_n and_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a baptism_n we_o believe_v that_o our_o child_n see_v as_o be_v before_o declare_v they_o be_v

we_o by_o his_o say_a death_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o not_o only_o receive_v the_o outward_a seal_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o elemental_a water_n upon_o their_o outward_a body_n but_o like_o wise_a inward_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o soul_n by_o christ_n himself_o with_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v and_o also_o through_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a

ghost_n itself_o so_o also_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o elemental_a water_n and_o although_o the_o elemental_a water_n according_a to_o his_o property_n and_o nature_n can_v do_v no_o more_o then_o outward_o cleanse_v the_o body_n and_o reach_v not_o so_o far_o as_o unto_o the_o soul_n yet_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cleanse_v the_o soul_n inward_o to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o as_o the_o minister_n do_v the_o one_o so_o do_v christ_n the_o other_o as_o saint_n john_n the_o baptist_n witness_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o saint_n matthewes_n gospel_n i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n to_o repentance_n or_o amendment_n of_o life_n but_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v strong_a than_o i_o be_o who_o shoe_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o carry_v he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n and_o like_v unto_o this_o be_v the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n that_o after_o the_o same_o sort_n the_o israelite_n be_v baptize_v with_o the_o cloud_n and_o sea_n as_o also_o they_o be_v feed_v with_o manna_n and_o drink_v the_o water_n which_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o rock_n etc_n etc_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o holy_a &_o most_o worthy_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o believe_v and_o confess_v willing_o with_o all_o other_o christian_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n first_o institute_v the_o say_v supper_n which_o he_o himself_o keep_v with_o his_o disciple_n and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v of_o christian_n but_o rather_o to_o be_v hold_v in_o great_a estimation_n &_o reverence_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o this_o cause_n ordain_v this_o participation_n and_o fruition_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n 11._o that_o thereby_o we_o shall_v remember_v he_o and_o declare_v his_o death_n until_o his_o come_n and_o after_o we_o have_v be_v

for_o we_o and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o if_o we_o shall_v apprehend_v and_o take_v unto_o we_o with_o true_a faith_n it_o will_v be_v a_o true_a &_o spiritual_a food_n and_o drink_n to_o eternal_a life_n as_o the_o visible_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v food_n for_o the_o nourish_a of_o the_o corporal_a body_n see_v we_o be_v in_o christ_n member_n of_o he_o the_o head_n branch_n of_o he_o the_o vine_n tree_n incorporate_v into_o he_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o so_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o through_o he_o shall_v obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o

offend_v against_o the_o commandment_n and_o institution_n of_o christ_n now_o it_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o must_v be_v confess_v of_o all_o that_o obstinate_o &_o malicious_o seek_v not_o to_o contend_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o deliver_v unto_o his_o disciple_n his_o natural_a &_o then_o present_a body_n as_o it_o be_v sit_v at_o the_o table_n &_o not_o yet_o crucify_v to_o be_v eat_v with_o their_o corporal_a mouth_n &_o much_o less_o give_v or_o command_v his_o blood_n to_o be_v drunken_a which_o be_v yet_o in_o his_o body_n and_o not_o shed_v as_o at_o these_o day_n some_o have_v cause_v a_o great_a division_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n teach_v that_o man_n must_v believe_v that_o they_o must_v eat_v and_o drink_v in_o the_o communion_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n with_o their_o corporal_a mouth_n as_o it_o be_v then_o natural_a and_o present_a at_o his_o last_o supper_n and_o whosoever_o will_v not_o believe_v and_o confess_v this_o which_o without_o great_a prejudice_n of_o their_o conscience_n they_o can_v not_o believe_v they_o be_v call_v despiser_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o great_a blasphemer_n of_o god_n but_o
