only_o thus_o but_o they_o carry_v it_o about_o with_o they_o when_o they_o travel_v in_o the_o street_n and_o other_o place_n as_o a_o preservative_n against_o sickness_n and_o other_o evil_n these_o and_o such_o other_o like_o foppery_n be_v use_v in_o the_o popish_a church_n upon_o this_o false_a ground_n that_o be_v once_o dedicate_v to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o they_o suppose_v it_o must_v needs_o always_o have_v the_o same_o force_n and_o power_n so_o long_o as_o it_o continue_v we_o may_v refer_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o indifferent_a understand_a man_n to_o judge_v whether_o he_o think_v they_o or_o we_o do_v come_v near_a to_o the_o meaning_n and_o true_a institution_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o christ_n take_v bread_n and_o command_v we_o so_o to_o do_v to_o take_v the_o bread_n to_o bless_v it_o break_v it_o and_o distribute_v it_o but_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o never_o command_v it_o to_o be_v carry_v about_o for_o any_o such_o superstitious_a use_n as_o they_o do_v i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v occasion_n to_o travel_v into_o place_n where_o these_o and_o such_o like_a superstition_n be_v

on_o christ_n by_o faith_n though_o his_o faith_n be_v not_o lift_v up_o by_o such_o help_n as_o the_o sacrament_n be_v but_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v it_o to_o help_v thy_o faith_n thou_o must_v eat_v it_o and_o drink_v it_o he_o that_o look_v to_o have_v any_o benefit_n by_o the_o sacrament_n must_v communicate_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o stand_v by_o and_o look_v on_o and_o for_o other_o to_o do_v it_o but_o we_o must_v do_v it_o for_o ourselves_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v a_o blessing_n to_o his_o own_o ordinance_n but_o yet_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o we_o use_v they_o in_o their_o own_o kind_n and_o so_o as_o he_o have_v appoint_v and_o ordain_v they_o but_o if_o we_o apply_v they_o not_o or_o use_v they_o otherwise_o than_o god_n have_v appoint_v he_o be_v free_v of_o his_o promise_n neither_o can_v we_o expect_v any_o blessing_n from_o god_n use_v 3_o the_o three_o use_n it_o minister_v unto_o we_o matter_n of_o exhortation_n it_o teach_v we_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v only_o beneficial_a in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o frame_v ourselves_o to_o a_o frequent_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n there_o be_v no_o benefit_n without_o the_o use_n of_o it_o by_o the_o use_n of_o it_o there_o be_v much_o benefit_n and_o singular_a profit_n and_o comfort_n as_o the_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o favour_n assurance_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n and_o grace_n from_o god_n to_o preserve_v we_o from_o sin_n that_o we_o fall_v not_o final_o and_o many_o such_o like_a help_n there_o be_v therefore_o see_v without_o the_o use_n of_o it_o there_o be_v no_o benefit_n and_o by_o the_o use_n of_o it_o much_o benefit_n let_v we_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o to_o use_v it_o frequent_o and_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o it_o see_v thou_o bring_v not_o thy_o mouth_n and_o thy_o body_n and_o hand_n only_o but_o thy_o soul_n thy_o heart_n thy_o faith_n and_o thy_o spiritual_a man_n that_o while_o the_o one_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o bodily_a eat_n of_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o wine_n the_o other_o may_v be_v employ_v in_o the_o spirirituall_a eat_n of_o the_o body_n and_o drink_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n bring_v the_o whole_a man_n to_o be_v employ_v in_o this_o work_n and_o so_o shall_v thou_o then_o communicate_v in_o the_o whole_a benefit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n always_o provide_v that_o still_o we_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o to_o matter_n of_o action_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o we_o stir_v up_o our_o mind_n and_o scules_a to_o a_o actual_a believe_a a_o actual_a discern_a and_o a_o actual_a receive_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o merit_n and_o a_o actual_a apply_v they_o to_o our_o poor_a soul_n then_o shall_v we_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n 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 that_o accompany_v it_o the_o more_o benefit_n we_o shall_v receive_v by_o it_o and_o this_o be_v that_o that_o make_v many_o that_o come_v here_o to_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o that_o be_v make_v partaker_n happy_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o fail_v of_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n sure_o the_o fault_n be_v their_o own_o because_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o action_n and_o do_v and_o they_o perform_v not_o those_o action_n that_o god_n have_v enjoin_v they_o unto_o they_o do_v not_o apply_v christ_n to_o they_o by_o faith_n they_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o yet_o do_v not_o actual_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n so_o much_o of_o that_o first_o particular_a that_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v 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

to_o show_v forth_o good_a work_n as_o many_o as_o believe_v as_o many_o as_o profess_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n jesus_n must_v be_v careful_a to_o show_v forth_o all_o good_a duty_n that_o be_v

their_o course_n the_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v do_v thus_o there_o be_v many_o reason_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o practice_n of_o these_o duty_n be_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o profession_n the_o grace_n of_o all_o moral_a virtue_n consist_v in_o the_o action_n of_o virtue_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o every_o trade_n consist_v not_o so_o much_o in_o the_o knowledge_n

therefore_o the_o grace_n of_o it_o stand_v in_o our_o well_o manage_v of_o it_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o religious_a duty_n godly_a carriage_n in_o servant_n the_o mean_a that_o profess_v

religion_n in_o itself_o no_o in_o itself_o and_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v most_o gracious_a so_o that_o it_o need_v not_o nor_o can_v receive_v any_o grace_n from_o our_o do_v but_o that_o thereby_o

second_o this_o be_v the_o life_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o can_v live_v no_o long_o than_o it_o be_v exercise_v in_o good_a duty_n as_o rachel_n gen._n 39.1_o say_v to_o jacob_n give_v i_o child_n or_o

it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o call_n 1_o thess_n 4.7_o for_o god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o unto_o uncleanness_n but_o unto_o holiness_n that_o be_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o holy_a and_o
