sanctify_v they_o call_v whisper_v and_o the_o whisper_n of_o those_o five_o word_n they_o call_v the_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n and_o when_o the_o word_n be_v after_o this_o manner_n whisper_v they_o presuppose_v such_o a_o secret_a &_o monstrous_a virtue_n to_o be_v enclose_v in_o the_o syllable_n that_o the_o virtue_n &_o power_n which_o flow_v from_o the_o word_n be_v able_a to_o chase_v away_o whole_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n so_o that_o the_o very_a bread_n &_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v altogether_o destroy_v by_o this_o power_n second_o that_o this_o

hand_n of_o his_o father_n &_o be_v able_a to_o put_v it_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o that_o bread_n this_o be_v a_o strange_a and_o a_o great_a virtue_n that_o not_o only_o will_v overthrow_v that_o substance_n but_o put_v it_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o that_o bread_n the_o same_o five_o word_n whisper_v in_o this_o manner_n have_v such_o a_o monstrous_a operation_n say_v they_o that_o they_o be_v able_a both_o to_o chase_v a_o way_n the_o one_o substance_n to_o pull_v down_o a_o other_o and_o to_o put_v it_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o that_o bread_n we_o altogetheir_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o virtue_n in_o these_o word_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o we_o deny_v not_o that_o the_o word_n have_v a_o virtue_n but_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o virtue_n enclose_v in_o the_o word_n we_o deny_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o virtue_n or_o that_o it_o flow_v from_o such_o a_o fountain_n for_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o word_n have_v a_o virtue_n there_o be_v never_o a_o word_n that_o god_n speak_v here_o but_o it_o have_v a_o virtue_n join_v withit_z but_o we_o deny_v that_o this_o virtue_n be_v enclose_v in_o the_o syllable_n in_o the_o whisper_n or_o pronounce_v of_o the_o word_n for_o if_o there_o be_v such_o avertue_n and_o power_n enclose_v in_o the_o syllable_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o shall_v follow_v that_o there_o be_v avertue_n in_o the_o figure_n and_o shape_n of_o the_o letter_n that_o make_v up_o theword_n now_o there_o be_v noman_n will_v think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n in_o the_o figure_n or_o shape_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o there_o be_v as_o little_a virtue_n in_o the_o syllable_n or_o pronounce_v of_o the_o word_n themselves_o so_o we_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n enclose_v in_o the_o syllable_n or_o resident_a in_o the_o word_n but_o we_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o power_n conjoin_v with_o the_o word_n and_o this_o power_n be_v not_o resident_a in_o the_o word_n but_o be_v resident_a in_o the_o eternal_a word_n in_o the_o essential_a word_n whereof_o john_n the_o evangelist_n make_v mention_v cap._n 1._o the_o word_n which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n christ_n jesus_n we_o say_v there_o be_v not_o a_o dram_n weight_n of_o this_o virtue_n and_o power_n resident_a in_o any_o creature_n that_o ever_o god_n create_v but_o it_o be_v only_o resident_a in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o therefore_o there_o flow_v no_o virtue_n from_o the_o syllable_n nor_o from_o the_o word_n that_o be_v speak_v but_o from_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n who_o give_v the_o virtue_n to_o those_o word_n so_o we_o differ_v in_o this_o we_o say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o virtue_n resident_a in_o the_o syllable_n we_o say_v that_o the_o syllable_n and_o pronounce_v of_o the_o syllable_n work_v nothing_o but_o we_o say_v that_o the_o virtue_n be_v resident_a in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o heeworke_n by_o his_o own_o word_n now_o we_o say_v that_o there_o can_v be_v such_o a_o monstrous_a change_n as_o to_o say_v the_o whisper_n of_o so_o many_o word_n shall_v change_v the_o own_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n pull_v down_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o put_v his_o body_n in_o so_o narrow_a a_o compass_n we_o say_v that_o can_v be_v and_o this_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o these_o three_o rule_n namely_o argument_n refutation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n by_o 3._o sort_n of_o argument_n by_o the_o verity_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n jesus_n by_o the_o article_n of_o our_o belief_n and_o by_o the_o true_a end_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o god_n grace_n the_o infinite_a absurdity_n that_o follow_v upon_o their_o opinion_n the_o first_o principle_n that_o i_o lie_v be_v this_o argument_n the_o first_o sort_n of_o argument_n see_v that_o christ_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n appoint_v take_v true_a flesh_n of_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n and_o unite_a himself_o with_o our_o nature_n in_o one_o personal_a union_n to_o the_o end_n that_o our_o nature_n which_o fall_v altogether_o from_o integrity_n in_o the_o first_o adam_n may_v recover_v the_o same_o in_o the_o second_o adam_n yea_o not_o only_o the_o same_o but_o so_o much_o the_o great_a as_o our_o second_o adam_n excel_v the_o first_o in_o all_o the_o agree_v and_o in_o respect_n he_o take_v on_o he_o a_o body_n like_v unto_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n sin_n except_v of_o necessity_n it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o true_a body_n and_o the_o inseparable_a property_n thereof_o must_v be_v competent_a to_o he_o but_o these_o be_v the_o inseparable_a property_n namely_o to_o be_v in_o one_o certain_a place_n to_o be_v finite_a circumscribe_v visible_a and_o palpable_a for_o all_o these_o concur_v quarto_fw-la modo_fw-la as_o the_o logician_n say_v to_o a_o body_n so_o that_o they_o can_v be_v separate_a from_o the_o subject_n without_o the_o distraction_n thereof_o then_o treason_n on_o this_o manner_n a_o true_a humane_a body_n be_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n christ_n jesus_n body_n be_v a_o true_a humane_a body_n therefore_o it_o be_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n i_o call_v a_o place_n a_o certain_a condition_n of_o a_o instrumental_a body_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o wherever_o the_o body_n be_v of_o necessity_n it_o be_v limit_v within_o that_o place_n and_o while_o it_o be_v there_o it_o can_v be_v elsewhere_o if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o probation_n of_o my_o proposition_n from_o the_o doctor_n read_v augustine_n to_o dardanus_n speak_v of_o this_o same_o body_n of_o christ_n take_v away_o a_o certain_a room_n from_o the_o body_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o no_o place_n and_o if_o they_o be_v in_o no_o place_n they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o augustine_n write_v upon_o john_n in_o his_o 30._o treatise_n say_v the_o body_n in_o the_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v arise_v of_o necessity_n must_v be_v in_o a_o place_n but_o his_o divine_a efficacy_n and_o nature_n be_v diffuse_v every_o where_n and_o in_o his_o three_o epistle_n he_o say_v how_o much_o soever_o the_o body_n be_v or_o how_o little_a soever_o the_o body_n be_v it_o behoove_v to_o occupy_v the_o bound_n of_o a_o place_n and_o beside_o these_o the_o history_n of_o the_o act_n prove_v most_o evident_o christ_n his_o body_n to_o be_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n as_o act_n 3.21_o the_o word_n be_v these_o who_o the_o heaven_n must_v contain_v until_o the_o time_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v restore_v which_o god_n have_v speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o his_o holy_a prophet_n though_o i_o need_v not_o to_o insist_v in_o the_o probation_n of_o these_o thing_n yet_o i_o proceed_v second_o than_o i_o reason_n after_o this_o manner_n a_o humane_a body_n be_v finite_a and_o circumscribe_v but_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o humane_a body_n what_o warrant_v from_o the_o doctor_n have_v i_o for_o this_o i_o leave_v many_o purposely_o &_o will_v allege_v only_a augustine_n who_o write_v to_o dardanus_n believe_v say_v he_o christ_n to_o be_v every_o where_o in_o that_o he_o be_v god_n but_o only_o to_o be_v in_o heaven_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o true_a body_n and_o in_o his_o 146._o epistle_n i_o believe_v say_v he_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v so_o in_o heaven_n as_o it_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n when_o he_o go_v up_o to_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v circumscribe_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n on_o the_o earth_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o heaven_n and_o consequent_o it_o can_v be_v in_o the_o masse-bread_n and_o in_o heaven_n both_o at_o one_o time_n the_o last_o reason_n be_v this_o a_o humane_a body_n be_v visible_a and_o palpable_a but_o christ_n have_v a_o humane_a body_n and_o he_o be_v corporal_o present_a as_o they_o say_v therefore_o christ_n his_o body_n be_v
visible_a and_o palpable_a i_o prove_v my_o proposition_n by_o christ_n his_o own_o word_n take_v out_o of_o luke_n 24.39_o in_o the_o which_o place_n to_o persuade_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o verity_n of_o his_o body_n and_o to_o prove_v evident_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fantastical_a heeuse_v the_o argument_n take_v from_o these_o two_o quality_n and_o he_o command_v his_o apostle_n to_o feel_v and_o see_v give_v they_o thereby_o to_o understand_v that_o as_o these_o two_o sense_n be_v the_o most_o certain_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o be_v they_o most_o able_a to_o discern_v whether_o he_o be_v a_o body_n or_o a_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o will_v have_v say_v if_o i_o be_v visible_a and_o palpable_a you_o may_v be_v out_o of_o doubt_n that_o i_o have_v a_o true_a body_n

these_o argument_n it_o may_v be_v evident_o see_v how_o this_o transubstantiation_n may_v no_o way_n stand_v with_o the_o verity_n of_o the_o body_n of_o chr._n jesus_n and_o as_o it_o fight_v with_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n jesus_n so_o it_o repugn_v direct_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o in_o our_o belief_n we_o profess_v argument_n second_o sort_n of_o argument_n that_o christ_n

from_o the_o which_o place_n he_o be_v to_o come_v at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n this_o article_n teach_v we_o that_o he_o have_v change_v his_o dwelling_n which_o he_o have_v

testimony_n of_o peter_n which_o i_o cite_v out_o of_o the_o act_n 3.21_o until_o the_o last_o day_n if_o he_o sit_v at_o his_o father_n right_a hand_n and_o be_v to_o remain_v in_o heaven_n until_o

say_v in_o that_o place_n that_o the_o heaven_n must_v contain_v he_o until_o the_o last_o day_n therefore_o this_o transubstantiation_n be_v direct_o against_o the_o article_n of_o our_o belief_n &_o the_o manifest_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n three_o it_o be_v opposite_a unto_o the_o end_n argument_n three_o sort_n of_o argument_n wherefore_o this_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v &_o this_o

god_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o of_o his_o infinite_a pity_n and_o bottomless_a compassion_n have_v set_v up_o this_o sacrament_n as_o a_o sign_n on_o a_o high_a hill_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v see_v

thus_o far_o concern_v the_o end_n brief_o now_o general_a three_o head_n general_a i_o come_v to_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o this_o sacrament_n you_o see_v with_o your_o eye_n there_o be_v

without_o a_o reason_n these_o corporal_a sign_n be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v the_o spiritual_a thing_n because_o we_o be_v corporal_a we_o be_v earthly_a body_n we_o have_v our_o soul_n lodging_n within_o a_o carnal_a body_n in_o a_o tabernacle_n of_o clay_n a_o gross_a tabernacle_n which_o can_v be_v waken_v nor_o move_v except_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v like_a to_o itself_o it_o can_v be_v induce_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n except_o by_o gross_a temporal_a and_o corporal_a thing_n if_o we_o have_v be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v that_o

have_v be_v as_o we_o be_v corporal_a earthly_a and_o visible_a we_o have_v not_o need_v a_o sign_n to_o lead_v we_o to_o consider_v of_o it_o but_o because_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v spiritual_a and_o we_o be_v corporal_a therefore_o to_o bring_v we_o unto_o the_o sight_n of_o these_o spiritual_a thing_n he_o use_v a_o corporal_a mean_n and_o a_o outward_a sign_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o these_o corporal_a sign_n be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v the_o spiritual_a thing_n the_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o both_o the_o sacrament_n be_v one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o christ_n

this_o christ_n jesus_n in_o his_o
wine_n only_o have_v not_o a_o perfect_a corporal_a nourishment_n therefore_o that_o they_o may_v represent_v and_o let_v we_o see_v a_o perfect_a nourishment_n he_o have_v give_v we_o both_o bread_n &_o wine_n for_o the_o perfect_a corporal_a nourishment_n stand_v in_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o represent_v the_o full_a and_o perfect_a nourishment_n of_o the_o soul_n mark_v how_o full_a and_o

nourishment_n for_o his_o soul_n then_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o there_o be_v two_o sign_n appoint_v in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o only_o one_o sign_n in_o baptism_n there_o remain_v yet_o concern_v these_o sign_n two_o thing_n to_o be_v inquire_v first_o endure_v two_o question_n what_o power_n the_o bread_n have_v to_o be_v a_o sign_n in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o how_o long_o that_o power_n endure_v what_o power_n have_v that_o bread_n in_o this_o sacrament_n to_o be_v a_o sign_n more_o than_o the_o bread_n which_o be_v use_v in_o common_a house_n from_o whence_o come_v that_o power_n next_o if_o it_o have_v a_o power_n how_o long_o endure_v and_o remain_v that_o power_n with_o the_o bread_n for_o the_o first_o concern_v the_o power_n which_o that_o bread_n have_v more_o than_o any_o other_o bread_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o bread_n have_v a_o power_n give_v unto_o it_o by_o christ_n &_o by_o his_o institution_n answer_v 1_o by_o the_o which_o institution_n it_o be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v his_o body_n to_o represent_v his_o body_n &_o to_o deliver_v his_o body_n that_o bread_n have_v a_o power_n flow_v from_o christ_n institution_n that_o bread_n have_v that_o power_n from_o christ_n institution_n and_o his_o institution_n which_o other_o common_a bread_n have_v not_o so_o that_o if_o any_o of_o you_o will_v ask_v when_o the_o minister_n in_o this_o action_n be_v break_v or_o distribute_v that_o bread_n pour_v out_o and_o distribute_v that_o wine_n if_o you_o will_v i_o say_v ask_v what_o sort_n of_o creature_n those_o be_v this_o be_v the_o answer_n they_o be_v holy_a thing_n you_o must_v give_v this_o name_n to_o the_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o bread_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o holy_a bread_n and_o that_o wine_n be_v a_o holy_a wine_n why_o because_o the_o bless_a institution_n of_o christ_n have_v sever_v they_o from_o that_o use_n whereunto_o they_o serve_v before_o and_o have_v apply_v they_o unto_o a_o holy_a use_n not_o to_o feed_v the_o body_n but_o to_o feed_v the_o soul_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o power_n of_o that_o bread_n it_o have_v a_o power_n flow_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o institution_n answer_n 2_o now_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v how_o long_o this_o power_n continue_v with_o that_o bread_n how_o long_o that_o bread_n have_v this_o office_n table_n that_o power_n continue_v during_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n in_o a_o word_n i_o say_v this_o power_n continue_v with_o that_o bread_n during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o action_n during_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n look_v how_o long_o that_o action_n continue_v and_o that_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n last_v so_o long_o it_o continue_v holy_a bread_n so_o long_o continue_v the_o power_n with_o that_o bread_n but_o look_v how_o soon_o the_o action_n be_v end_v so_o soon_o end_v the_o holiness_n of_o it_o look_v how_o soon_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n be_v end_v so_o soon_o that_o bread_n become_v common_a bread_n again_o &_o the_o holiness_n of_o it_o cease_v then_o this_o power_n continue_v not_o for_o ever_o but_o it_o continue_v only_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o action_n and_o service_n of_o the_o table_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o element_n there_o be_v beside_o the_o element_n a_o other_o sort_n of_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v not_o a_o ceremony_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o have_v it_o own_o spiritual_a signification_n with_o it_o as_o namely_o look_v to_o the_o break_n of_o that_o bread_n it_o represent_v unto_o thou_o the_o break_n of_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n not_o that_o his_o body_n and_o bone_n be_v break_v but_o that_o it_o be_v break_v with_o dolour_n with_o anguish_n and_o distress_n of_o hart_n with_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o indignation_n and_o fury_n of_o god_n that_o he_o sustain_v for_o our_o sin_n which_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o then_o the_o break_n be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o wine_n also_o be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n for_o as_o you_o see_v clear_o that_o by_o the_o wine_n be_v signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o by_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o wine_n be_v signify_v that_o his_o blood_n be_v sever_v from_o his_o flesh_n and_o the_o

die_v for_o thou_o that_o his_o blood_n be_v shed_v for_o thou_o so_o this_o be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n which_o must_v not_o be_v leave_v out_o likewise_o the_o distribution_n give_v and_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n be_v essential_a ceremony_n and_o what_o do_v the_o eat_n testify_v unto_o thou_o the_o apply_v of_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n unto_o thy_o soul_n so_o that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o rite_n but_o have_v their_o own_o signification_n and_o there_o can_v one_o of_o they_o be_v leave_v out_o but_o you_o shall_v pervert_v the_o whole_a action_n thus_o far_o

it_o own_o spiritual_a signification_n consider_v this_o and_o think_v with_o yourselves_o at_o that_o time_n especial_o when_o you_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n &_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o that_o

a_o faithful_a communicant_a look_v what_o the_o mouth_n do_v and_o how_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n be_v occupy_v outward_o so_o be_v the_o hand_n and_o mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v

a_o fruitful_a eat_n thus_o far_o for_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o sign_n now_o come_v in_o the_o matter_n wherein_o great_a difficulty_n stand_v whereof_o i_o speak_v the_o last_o day_n sacrament_n how_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v conjoin_v in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o god_n give_v i_o the_o grace_n yet_o in_o the_o particular_a i_o must_v speak_v as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o general_a but_o somewhat_o more_o short_o then_o you_o have_v to_o understand_v for_o the_o better_a information_n of_o your_o conscience_n and_o for_o the_o better_a preparation_n of_o

you_o know_v how_o these_o two_o be_v couple_v then_o must_v
you_o first_o mark_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v you_o must_v observe_v both_o their_o nature_n and_o why_o because_o nothing_o can_v be_v

or_o will_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o suffer_v a_o conjunction_n look_v how_o far_o it_o will_v suffer_v a_o conjunction_n so_o far_o be_v they_o conjoin_v see_v then_o you_o must_v observe_v the_o

because_o they_o can_v see_v by_o their_o natural_a judgement_n nor_o can_v understand_v by_o their_o natural_a wit_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o to_o wit_n how_o christ_n flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v

forgive_v sin_n now_o it_o be_v only_a god_n that_o may_v forgive_v sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o heavenly_a thing_n can_v be_v in_o the_o

after_o a_o double_a manner_n by_o a_o outward_a action_n and_o a_o inward_a action_n keep_v the_o distinction_n in_o these_o thing_n between_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v and_o you_o shall_v not_o easy_o slip_v in_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o sacrament_n this_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o general_a consideration_n of_o the_o element_n for_o all_o this_o yet_o appertain_v unto_o the_o element_n it_o rest_v that_o we_o speak_v somewhat_o concern_v the_o word_n word_n of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o word_n which_o i_o call_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n i_o mean_v &_o understand_v by_o the_o word_n where-unto_a the_o clement_n be_v annex_v that_o thing_n which_o quicken_v this_o whole_a action_n which_o serve_v as_o it_o be_v a_o soul_n and_o give_v life_n unto_o the_o whole_a action_n for_o by_o the_o word_n and_o appointment_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o word_n the_o minister_n know_v what_o be_v his_o part_n the_o hearer_n know_v what_o be_v his_o part_n and_o every_o one_o be_v prepare_v how_o to_o deliver_v and_o how_o to_o receive_v the_o minister_n how_o he_o shall_v deliver_v and_o the_o hearer_n how_o he_o shall_v receive_v so_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o quicken_n of_o the_o whole_a action_n for_o all_o the_o action_n be_v warrant_v from_o the_o institution_n set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n chief_o to_o be_v consider_v a_o command_n and_o a_o promise_n the_o command_n be_v this_o where_o he_o say_v take_v eat_v the_o command_n require_v obedience_n there_o be_v a_o promise_n also_o in_o the_o institution_n and_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n the_o promise_n crave_v faith_n as_o the_o command_n crave_v obedience_n so_o the_o promise_n crave_v belief_n therefore_o come_v not_o unto_o the_o sacrament_n except_o you_o bring_v both_o faith_n and_o obedience_n with_o you_o if_o thou_o come_v not_o with_o a_o heart_n mind_v to_o obey_v christ_n at_o the_o least_o more_o than_o thou_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v thou_o come_v unto_o thy_o own_o damnation_n and_o if_o thou_o bring_v a_o hart_n void_a of_o faith_n thou_o come_v unto_o thy_o own_o damnation_n so_o let_v every_o one_o that_o come_v unto_o the_o sacrament_n bring_v with_o he_o a_o hart_n mind_v to_o do_v better_a that_o be_v to_o obey_v &_o believe_v christ_n better_a than_o he_o do_v in_o time_n past_a except_o you_o bring_v these_o two_o in_o some_o measure_n come_v not_o unto_o the_o

to_o the_o soul_n now_o it_o may_v be_v that_o where_o two_o thing_n be_v true_o &_o conjointlie_o offer_v a_o man_n may_v receive_v the_o one_o and_o refuse_v the_o other_o he_o receive_v the_o one_o because_o he_o have_v a_o instrument_n to_o take_v it_o he_o refuse_v the_o other_o because_o he_o want_v a_o instrument_n i_o hear_v the_o word_n because_o i_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v it_o with_o i_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n because_o i_o have_v a_o mouth_n to_o receive_v it_o with_o but_o as_o for_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n represent_v i_o may_v refuse_v it_o because_o i_o have_v not_o a_o mouth_n to_o take_v it_o nor_o a_o eye_n to_o perceive_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o fault_n be_v not_o on_o god_n part_n but_o on_o our_o part_n the_o wicked_a get_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n offer_v to_o they_o conjoint_o with_o the_o word_n &_o sacrament_n but_o the_o fault_n be_v on_o their_o part_n that_o they_o have_v not_o a_o mouth_n to_o receive_v he_o and_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v they_o a_o mouth_n mark_v this_o that_o if_o it_o be_v not_o of_o god_n special_a grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o he_o give_v i_o a_o eye_n to_o perceive_v he_o and_o a_o mouth_n to_o receive_v he_o i_o will_v refuse_v he_o as_o well_o as_o they_o so_o this_o argument_n hold_v not_o christ_n be_v offer_v to_o all_o ergo_fw-la he_o be_v

of_o christ_n these_o speech_n be_v sacramental_a yet_o you_o be_v not_o the_o wise_a but_o i_o will_v make_v it_o plain_a by_o god_n grace_n they_o be_v sacramental_a what_o be_v that_o you_o know_v

have_v shed_v his_o blood_n for_o i_o that_o he_o have_v purchase_v remission_n of_o sin_n for_o i_o wherefore_o then_o call_v you_o this_o a_o eat_n what_o call_v you_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o body_n they_o body_n eat_v when_o thou_o apply_v the_o meat_n to_o thy_o mouth_n if_o then_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o body_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o apply_v of_o meat_n to_o the_o mouth_n the_o

wherein_o stand_v the_o glorification_n of_o a_o body_n and_o then_o the_o answer_n will_v be_v easy_a the_o apostle_n paul_n 1._o cor._n 15.42_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n so_o also_o say_v he_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a the_o body_n be_v sow_v in_o corruption_n and_o be_v raise_v in_o incorruption_n it_o be_v sow_v in_o dishonour_n and_o be_v raise_v in_o glory_n it_o be_v

this_o clear_a antithesis_fw-la paul_n plain_o describe_v the_o glorification_n of_o a_o body_n for_o he_o oppose_v these_o two_o the_o unglorified_a and_o the_o glorify_a body_n and_o to_o the_o unglorified_a body_n he_o ascribe_v corruption_n ignominy_n infirmity_n carnalitie_n and_o mortality_n to_o the_o glorify_a body_n he_o attribute_n incorruption_n glory_n power_n spirituality_n and_o immortality_n of_o this_o opposition_n we_o may_v gather_v easy_o what_o the_o resurrection_n and_o glorification_n bring_v to_o the_o body_n in_o a_o word_n by_o they_o we_o see_v that_o the_o body_n be_v only_o spoil_v of_o corruption_n shame_n infirmity_n naturalitie_n and_o mortality_n and_o it_o become_v only_o spoil_v of_o all_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o nature_n that_o it_o may_v be_v clothe_v with_o a_o more_o glorious_a apparel_n as_o with_o incorruption_n power_n glory_n spirituality_n and_o immortality_n we_o see_v then_o that_o this_o glorification_n import_v a_o change_n indeed_o but_o i_o believe_v no_o man_n will_v be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o think_v this_o change_n to_o be_v make_v in_o the_o substance_n for_o if_o that_o be_v so_o the_o old_a substance_n behove_v to_o decay_v and_o a_o new_a shall_v arise_v but_o we_o hear_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o this_o description_n and_o as_o little_a be_v the_o change_n make_v in_o the_o quantity_n for_o we_o find_v no_o

consist_v in_o the_o quality_n by_o the_o which_o the_o body_n cast_v off_o the_o old_a coat_n of_o infirmity_n and_o clothe_v itself_o with_o the_o coat_n of_o glory_n for_o christ_n after_o he_o do_v arise_v he_o both_o go_v and_o come_v be_v see_v and_o touch_v of_o the_o thing_n before_o deduce_v it_o clear_o follow_v that_o in_o respect_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n have_v wrought_v nothing_o in_o his_o nature_n and_o substance_n and_o consequent_o in_o his_o natural_a dimension_n neither_o yet_o in_o any_o other_o essential_a property_n that_o therefore_o the_o glorification_n of_o his_o body_n free_v it_o not_o from_o the_o rule_n of_o physic_n for_o so_o long_o as_o that_o nature_n of_o a_o true_a body_n remain_v there_o be_v no_o supernatural_a gift_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v glorify_v be_v they_o never_o so_o high_a so_o far_o as_o they_o may_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o may_v hurt_v either_o the_o nature_n or_o the_o natural_a property_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o gift_n nor_o quality_n that_o may_v hurt_v nature_n but_o that_o gift_n that_o be_v against_o nature_n but_o the_o supernatural_a gift_n be_v neither_o unnatural_a neither_o yet_o against_o nature_n therefore_o it_o can_v hurt_v nor_o impair_v nature_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o those_o gift_n that_o decore_v and_o beautify_v nature_n they_o can_v hurt_v nor_o impair_v nature_n but_o all_o supernatural_a gift_n beautify_v and_o decore_v nature_n therefore_o they_o can_v take_v away_o neither_o nature_n nor_o yet_o the_o natural_a property_n they_o leave_v we_o not_o so_o but_o out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o paul_n concern_v the_o glorification_n of_o the_o body_n they_o draw_v a_o objection_n to_o press_v we_o withal_o paul_n grant_v that_o a_o glorify_a body_n be_v a_o spiritual_a body_n but_o a_o spiritual_a body_n be_v a_o invisible_a body_n therefore_o a_o glorify_a body_n be_v invisible_a and_o by_o

confound_v not_o the_o outward_a manner_n of_o receve_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o body_n with_o the_o spiritual_a manner_n of_o receive_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v exceed_o clear_a to_o see_v that_o each_o thing_n shall_v be_v present_a to_o the_o own_o instrument_n that_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a thing_n signify_v shall_v be_v present_a to_o the_o spiritual_a mouth_n and_o hand_n and_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v the_o corporal_a sign_n be_v present_a to_o the_o corporal_a mouth_n and_o hand_n then_o how_o be_v any_o object_n present_a a_o corporal_a object_n be_v corporal_o present_a and_o a_o inward_a object_n be_v inward_o present_a of_o what_o nature_n be_v the_o thing_n signify_v it_o be_v of_o a_o heavenly_a nature_n then_o ask_v you_o how_o be_v he_o present_a he_o be_v spiritual_o and_o heavenly_a present_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v faith_n for_o it_o be_v a_o preposterous_a thing_n to_o make_v the_o thing_n signify_v present_a to_o thy_o belly_n or_o to_o the_o mouth_n or_o eye_n of_o thy_o body_n for_o if_o that_o be_v so_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v spiritual_o present_a because_o every_o thing_n be_v present_a as_o it_o agree_v in_o it_o own_o nature_n be_v it_o a_o bodily_a thing_n it_o be_v bodily_a present_n &_o if_o it_o be_v a_o heavenly_a thing_n it_o be_v spiritual_o present_a so_o i_o think_v no_o man_n can_v doubt_v how_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v present_a he_o be_v not_o carnal_o present_a but_o spiritual_o present_a to_o my_o soul_n and_o to_o faith_n in_o my_o soul_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o manner_n of_o his_o presence_n now_o the_o last_o part_n of_o our_o difference_n be_v this_o papist_n the_o last_o point_n in_o controversy_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n we_o have_v to_o consider_v to_o who_o the_o word_n ought_v to_o be_v direct_v &_o pronounce_v for_o we_o &_o the_o papist_n differ_v in_o this_o last_o point_n we_o say_v that_o the_o word_n ought_v to_o be_v direct_v &_o pronounce_v unto_o the_o people_n to_o the_o faithful_a communicant_n they_o on_o the_o contrary_n say_v that_o the_o word_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v direct_v nor_o pronounce_v to_o the_o people_n but_o to_o the_o element_n &_o not_o to_o be_v clear_o pronounce_v but_o whisper_v on_o the_o element_n so_o that_o if_o they_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o people_n or_o speak_v open_o their_o charm_n avail_v not_o now_o i_o say_v that_o as_o this_o holy_a action_n be_v pervert_v by_o they_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o they_o pervert_v it_o in_o this_o point_n also_o in_o speak_v that_o to_o the_o dumb_a element_n which_o they_o shall_v speak_v to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o clear_o by_o three_o argument_n take_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o word_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o bread_n but_o to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o first_o i_o say_v the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n aught_o to_o be_v direct_v and_o pronounce_v to_o they_o in_o who_o the_o lord_n perform_v they_o &_o make_v they_o effectual_a but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n be_v perform_v and_o make_v effectual_a not_o in_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o in_o faithful_a man_n &_o woman_n therefore_o these_o promise_n shall_v be_v direct_v to_o faithful_a man_n &_o woman_n now_o here_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n &_o grace_n this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o and_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o no_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o the_o faithful_a and_o so_o to_o they_o only_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v direct_v second_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v that_o this_o sacrament_n seal_v up_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n now_o with_o who_o will_v god_n make_v his_o covenant_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n will_v he_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n or_o any_o dumb_a element_n there_o be_v no_o man_n will_v enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o his_o servant_n much_o less_o will_v enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o a_o dumb_a element_n so_o in_o respect_n this_o sacrament_n seal_v up_o a_o covenant_n this_o covenant_n of_o necessity_n must_v be_v make_v with_o a_o faithful_a soul_n and_o in_o no_o wise_a with_o the_o
