still_o know_v the_o benefit_n and_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n consist_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o the_o more_o we_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o to_o those_o action_n

namely_o that_o the_o apostle_n describe_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o describe_v it_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o use_n and_o benefit_n of_o it_o the_o second_o point_n that_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n here_o in_o this_o speech_n make_v mention_n of_o the_o outward_a element_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n he_o call_v they_o by_o their_o own_o proper_a name_n eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n that_o be_v this_o wine_n he_o call_v they_o i_o say_v by_o their_o own_o proper_a name_n that_o be_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o sign_n not_o by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v he_o do_v not_o say_v as_o often_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o body_n and_o drink_v this_o blood_n but_o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n and_o this_o he_o do_v after_o the_o blessing_n and_o consecration_n to_o this_o sacred_a use_n and_o that_o appear_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n for_o look_v what_o bread_n our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o former_a word_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o here_o see_v he_o infer_v it_o by_o way_n of_o reason_n now_o that_o which_o christ_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o verse_n go_v before_o be_v bread_n after_o it_o be_v bless_v and_o consecrate_v bread_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o bread_n still_o and_o so_o likewise_o it_o appear_v plain_o by_o the_o whole_a drift_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o chapter_n where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n namely_o after_o consecration_n doctr._fw-la 2_o the_o point_n of_o doctrine_n that_o hence_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o howsoever_o the_o creature_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n use_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v consecrate_v by_o the_o institution_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o a_o spiritual_a and_o sacred_a use_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o thereby_o change_v out_o of_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n but_o still_o for_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n they_o continue_v the_o same_o creature_n as_o before_o the_o same_o bread_n and_o the_o same_o wine_n bread_n still_o as_o it_o be_v bread_n
the_o proportion_n between_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v require_v as_o much_o what_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o they_o have_v a_o active_a power_n and_o virtue_n to_o cherish_v and_o nourish_v our_o fowl_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n must_v be_v such_o in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o have_v power_n also_o to_o nourish_v the_o body_n to_o a_o temporal_a life_n but_o if_o only_a the_o show_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v there_o present_a then_o there_o be_v no_o power_n to_o nourish_v for_o it_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n that_o yield_v power_n by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o sustain_v life_n the_o maintenance_n of_o our_o life_n arise_v from_o the_o substance_n of_o our_o food_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o the_o outward_a form_n must_v needs_o be_v there_o present_a so_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n must_v be_v there_o also_o in_o the_o very_a true_a be_v or_o else_o it_o be_v no_o true_a sacrament_n reason_n 3_o the_o last_o reason_n be_v this_o our_o own_o judgement_n our_o own_o eye_n or_o own_o

and_o taste_v it_o do_v we_o think_v that_o god_n do_v so_o delude_v we_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n when_o there_o be_v none_o will_v god_n deceive_v we_o when_o we_o come_v to_o do_v he_o service_n in_o the_o use_n of_o his_o own_o ordinance_n except_o god_n delude_v we_o which_o we_o be_v sure_o he_o

before_o no_o man_n will_v suppose_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v nickname_v they_o see_v then_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o bread_n after_o the_o blessing_n and_o consecration_n of_o it_o and_o the_o

the_o apostle_n do_v not_o call_v it_o so_o here_o only_o once_o in_o this_o chapter_n but_o three_o several_a time_n 26_o 27_o 28._o verse_n if_o so_o be_v he_o have_v speak_v it_o but_o once_o we_o

they_o be_v the_o very_a same_o creature_n as_o they_o be_v before_o and_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o only_o call_v they_o so_o here_o but_o elsewhere_o as_o in_o 1_o cor._n 10.16.17_o the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n &_o c_o mark_v he_o call_v it_o bread_n even_o in_o the_o break_n or_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n

therefore_o it_o be_v bread_n after_o the_o blessing_n now_o the_o apostle_n go_v further_a and_o say_v in_o the_o seventeen_o verse_n for_o we_o that_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n because_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o one_o bread_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o only_o call_v it_o bread_n while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o minister_n hand_n but_o when_o the_o people_n receive_v it_o and_o partake_v of_o it_o he_o say_v you_o be_v partaker_n of_o bread_n still_o it_o be_v bread_n notwithstanding_o the_o blessing_n and_o though_o by_o the_o blessing_n and_o

it_o be_v strange_a to_o see_v how_o miserable_o the_o papist_n do_v shuffle_v and_o shift_v to_o avoid_v this_o very_a argument_n in_o this_o place_n because_o the_o apostle_n be_v so_o plain_a and_o

again_o we_o note_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o they_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o

without_o turn_v either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a we_o must_v take_v all_o matter_n of_o religion_n in_o that_o very_a precise_a and_o true_a strain_n that_o the_o lord_n

to_o err_v on_o either_o side_n be_v alike_o dangerous_a so_o it_o be_v in_o other_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o estimation_n of_o these_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o

heart_n upright_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o god_n truth_n herein_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o short_a speech_n give_v we_o a_o good_a caveat_n and_o preservative_n and_o first_o that_o we_o may_v

to_o my_o heart_n to_o walk_v with_o christ_n because_o he_o be_v one_o with_o i_o and_o i_o one_o with_o he_o another_o point_n of_o instruction_n teach_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v real_o deliver_v

matter_n whereupon_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v found_v and_o establish_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n i_o be_o bold_a to_o insist_v so_o long_o upon_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n because_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o plentiful_a in_o it_o we_o will_v come_v now_o to_o the_o reason_n reas_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenant_n among_o man_n wherein_o stand_v it_o not_o in_o the_o make_n and_o write_v of_o it_o but_o in_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o here_o be_v a_o covenant_n make_v between_o god_n and_o man_n that_o he_o will_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o will_v sanctify_v we_o and_o it_o be_v seal_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o all_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v firm_a and_o sure_a in_o themselves_o because_o god_n have_v make_v they_o and_o they_o need_v no_o seal_n yet_o because_o god_n have_v make_v this_o covenant_n respective_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o seal_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o look_v whatsoever_o force_n and_o benefit_n it_o be_v of_o to_o we_o it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o whosoever_o can_v show_v this_o seal_n for_o themselves_o that_o they_o have_v part_n in_o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o may_v challenge_v that_o they_o have_v their_o part_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o whosoever_o can_v they_o have_v no_o part_n in_o it_o reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o testament_n which_o must_v always_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n and_o be_v not_o of_o force_n before_o the_o party_n be_v dead_a the_o apostle_n apply_v it_o so_o in_o hebr._n 9.16_o 17._o reas_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n a_o burn_v offer_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n no_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v kill_v and_o offer_v in_o blood_n levit._n 1.7_o and_o therefore_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n he_o must_v be_v kill_v and_o slay_v reas_n 4_o the_o four_o reason_n it_o hold_v by_o way_n of_o proportion_n between_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o old_a the_o old_a testament_n be_v confirm_v by_o blood_n and_o so_o must_v the_o new_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o pascall_n lamb_n must_v be_v slay_v and_o kill_v and_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n must_v be_v kill_v and_o slay_v likewise_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n must_v be_v kill_v slay_v and_o blood_n shed_v so_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n must_v be_v slay_v and_o shed_v his_o blood_n reas_n 5_o the_o five_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n which_o do_v necessary_o require_v it_o and_o can_v not_o be_v dispense_v withal_o but_o whosoever_o sin_n must_v die_v the_o death_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v our_o redeemer_n he_o must_v endure_v that_o death_n which_o we_o must_v have_v suffer_v else_o the_o law_n can_v never_o have_v be_v satisfy_v reas_n 6_o again_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n which_o must_v have_v a_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a satisfaction_n it_o can_v be_v satisfy_v with_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n act_v 20.28_o take_v heed_n therefore_o unto_o yourselves_o and_o to_o all_o the_o flock_n over_o the_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v you_o quer-seer_n to_o feed_v the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n mark_v now_o this_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n god_n be_v offend_v and_o he_o must_v receive_v full_a satisfaction_n therefore_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o satisfy_v he_o can_v not_o satisfy_v but_o only_o by_o his_o blood_n nay_o i_o say_v more_o christ_n can_v not_o have_v satisfy_v but_o that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o the_o person_n satisfy_v may_v be_v answerable_a to_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o the_o person_n offend_v and_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n reas_n 7_o then_o another_o reason_n be_v the_o heinousness_n of_o sin_n the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o where_o be_v no_o shed_n of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n and_o therefore_o whosoever_o come_v as_o a_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o procure_v for_o we_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n his_o blood_n must_v be_v shed_v else_o our_o sin_n still_o remain_v unpardoned_a and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o reason_n the_o use_v use_v 1_o first_o it_o teach_v we_o what_o it_o

when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o come_v to_o behold_v jesus_n christ_n execute_v and_o put_v to_o death_n to_o every_o spiritual_a receiver_n in_o a_o
