care_n and_o endeavour_v constant_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o all_o as_o far_o as_o the_o subject_n will_v bear_v in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o what_o i_o intend_v i_o mean_v by_o god_n help_n to_o proceed_v in_o this_o order_n 1_o i_o shall_v discourse_v with_o all_o convenient_a brevity_n and_o plainness_n the_o nature_n and_o design_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o 2_o give_v the_o general_a reason_n to_o enforce_v the_o duty_n under_o which_o head_n i_o shall_v apply_v myself_o to_o two_o sort_n of_o refuser_n viz._n those_o that_o neglect_n 1_o on_o the_o account_n of_o pure_a carelessness_n and_o stupidity_n and_o 2_o those_o that_o stand_v off_o upon_o the_o score_n of_o mistake_n of_o conscience_n in_o treat_v with_o the_o former_a i_o shall_v show_v that_o their_o obstinate_a refusal_n take_v off_o all_o pretence_n they_o can_v have_v to_o christianity_n and_o put_v they_o into_o the_o state_n of_o infidel_n and_o heathen_n yea_o into_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o that_o of_o mere_a unbeliever_n as_o to_o the_o other_o sort_n viz._n the_o dissatisfy_v in_o conscience_n i_o shall_v consider_v their_o reason_n against_o communicate_v with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o our_o church_n and_o show_v that_o they_o be_v no_o justifiable_a ground_n why_o they_o shall_v refuse_v to_o join_v with_o we_o in_o that_o solemn_a part_n of_o christian_a worship_n chap._n ii_o i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n concern_v this_o there_o have_v be_v a_o infinite_a diversity_n of_o opinion_n and_o dispute_v the_o effect_n of_o which_o difference_n have_v be_v much_o noise_n and_o many_o tumult_n schism_n and_o war_n with_o a_o vast_a heap_n of_o mischief_n and_o calamity_n to_o the_o christian_a world_n i_o shall_v not_o therefore_o trouble_v you_o with_o any_o thing_n of_o needless_a controversy_n or_o notion_n on_o this_o argument_n but_o state_n it_o so_o far_o only_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o practice_n and_o i_o shall_v take_v all_o i_o have_v to_o say_v about_o it_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o best_a rule_n to_o guide_v we_o in_o the_o enquiry_n and_o if_o dispute_v man_n will_v have_v be_v content_a with_o its_o declaration_n in_o this_o matter_n all_o the_o trouble_n and_o mischief_n have_v be_v avoid_v but_o this_o have_v be_v the_o misery_n some_o govern_v their_o thought_n of_o this_o holy_a institution_n by_o corrupt_a and_o novel_a tradition_n and_o other_o by_o mere_a vain_a and_o arbitrary_a fancy_n yea_o those_o who_o have_v be_v right_a in_o the_o main_a have_v yet_o so_o mingle_v the_o plain_a truth_n with_o allusion_n and_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o such_o a_o fantastical_a and_o uncertain_a way_n that_o ordinary_a understanding_n have_v be_v confound_v and_o those_o that_o be_v for_o downright_a sense_n without_o the_o mixture_n of_o imagination_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o tell_v what_o to_o make_v of_o that_o which_o they_o hear_v describe_v in_o such_o a_o phanciful_a and_o various_a fashion_n this_o particular_o have_v be_v my_o own_o case_n i_o have_v hear_v man_n preach_v so_o humoursome_o and_o so_o diverse_o about_o the_o sacrament_n so_o much_o out_o of_o their_o own_o head_n and_o so_o little_a out_o of_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n that_o i_o be_v quite_o bewilder_v and_o lose_v and_o come_v at_o last_o to_o that_o pass_n that_o i_o know_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o it_o which_o ignorance_n and_o confusion_n of_o thought_n be_v the_o natural_a effect_n of_o such_o discourse_n for_o when_o man_n once_o ramble_v in_o the_o way_n of_o phrase_n metaphor_n and_o conceit_n as_o they_o lose_v themselves_o so_o they_o perfect_o dazzle_v and_o amaze_v those_o other_o who_o they_o shall_v instruct_v i_o therefore_o betake_v myself_o to_o the_o plain_a expression_n of_o scripture_n concern_v this_o matter_n in_o they_o i_o find_v a_o easy_a account_n in_o the_o nature_n and_o design_n of_o this_o divine_a ordinance_n and_o whither_o shall_v we_o go_v to_o inquire_v after_o it_o but_o to_o the_o word_n of_o institution_n themselves_o these_o i_o shall_v consider_v first_o and_o then_o gather_v together_o those_o other_o passage_n of_o scripture_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o further_a explication_n of_o it_o 1._o the_o word_n of_o institution_n be_v mat._n 26._o take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n v_o 26._o and_o drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o for_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n v_o 27._o 28._o to_o which_o be_v add_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o st._n luke_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o luke_n 22._o 19_o these_o word_n i_o shall_v several_o explain_v and_o then_o infer_v from_o they_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o design_n of_o the_o holy_a appointment_n take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n here_o i_o take_v notice_n that_o body_n and_o blood_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o to_o the_o action_n eat_v and_o drink_v as_o appear_v plain_o in_o the_o 〈◊〉_d original_a '_o this_o not_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n be_v my_o body_n and_o blood_n but_o this_o sacramental_a eat_n and_o drink_v of_o it_o in_o this_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n viz_o his_o incarnation_n and_o suffering_n be_v represent_v to_o we_o and_o yet_o by_o a_o figure_n the_o consecrate_a element_n may_v be_v call_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n also_o so_o the_o form_n at_o the_o eat_v the_o paschal_n supper_n be_v this_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o affliction_n which_o our_o father_n do_v eat_v in_o egypt_n not_o the_o very_a same_o but_o a_o memorial_n of_o it_o and_o the_o state_n of_o bondage_n from_o which_o they_o be_v deliver_v thus_o 1_o cor_n 10._o 3_o 4._o manna_n be_v call_v spiritual_a bread_n and_o the_o rock_n spiritual_a drink_n and_o that_o rock_n christ_n not_o that_o they_o can_v possible_o be_v so_o in_o the_o letter_n but_o they_o signify_v that_o spiritual_a food_n and_o be_v token_n of_o christ_n prefence_n and_o thus_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n and_o wine_n may_v be_v call_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n that_o be_v figure_n and_o representation_n of_o they_o and_o that_o not_o bare_o of_o his_o suffering_n but_o as_o the_o basil._n father_n note_v of_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o incarnation_n which_o be_v signify_v and_o include_v thus_o ancient_o the_o element_n be_v call_v figure_n symbol_n image_n sensible_a thing_n instead_o of_o spiritual_a and_o we_o know_v it_o be_v in_o common_a use_n to_o call_v the_o picture_n by_o the_o name_n of_o that_o it_o represent_v as_o this_o be_v a_o man_n and_o that_o a_o angel_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n in_o these_o word_n as_o the_o roman_a church_n pretend_v but_o i_o wave_n dispute_v and_o come_v to_o the_o next_o expression_n to_o be_v consider_v this_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n or_o 〈◊〉_d covenant_n in_o my_o blood_n viz._n the_o sign_n and_o seal_v of_o the_o covenant_n make_v in_o his_o blood_n a_o covenant_n wherein_o god_n engage_v to_o bestow_v on_o we_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n and_o we_o promise_v faithful_a and_o sincere_a obedience_n thus_o in_o the_o elder_a time_n eat_v and_o drink_v be_v covenant_n rite_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o compact_n between_o isaac_n and_o abimilech_n gen._n 26._o 30._o and_o between_o jacob_n and_o laban_n gen._n 31._o 44_o 46._o so_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o a_o bare_a sign_n but_o it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o god_n gracious_a covenant_n make_v with_o we_o in_o his_o son_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o it_o have_v always_o be_v usual_a to_o commemorate_v and_o remember_v benefactor_n and_o great_a mercy_n by_o feast_n and_o festival_n the_o heathen_n have_v their_o 〈◊〉_d feast_n in_o memory_n of_o their_o hero_n and_o the_o passover_n a_o type_n of_o this_o supper_n be_v appoint_v to_o preserve_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o israelite_n deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n exod._n 12._o 14._o the_o lamb_n be_v eat_v with_o bitter_a herb_n to_o commemorate_v the_o bitterness_n of_o their_o servitude_n the_o red_a wine_n be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o their_o blood_n which_o pharaoh_n spill_v and_o the_o unleavened_a bread_n to_o remember_v they_o that_o they_o carry_v such_o out_o of_o egypt_n at_o their_o departure_n and_o thus_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v appoint_v this_o holy_a rite_n to_o imprint_v upon_o we_o the_o memory_n of_o what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v not_o
