the_o pattern_n for_o we_o be_v to_o live_v up_o to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o to_o precedent_n and_o not_o walk_v after_o any_o one_o in_o his_o deviation_n from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n unless_o we_o will_v confound_v all_o the_o rule_n and_o measure_n of_o right_n and_o wrong_n let_v we_o indeed_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o good_a example_n of_o the_o good_a and_o strive_v to_o come_v after_o they_o but_o not_o after_o the_o bad_a of_o the_o bad_a i_o have_v be_v so_o particular_a though_o with_o all_o the_o brevity_n i_o can_v on_o this_o argument_n because_o some_o do_v mighty_o hug_v and_o applaud_v themselves_o in_o it_o though_o to_o the_o deceive_a of_o themselves_o as_o well_o as_o other_o xxiii_o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o most_o certain_a unshaken_a and_o indisputable_a truth_n that_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n no_o man_n be_v shut_v out_o from_o sacrament_n for_o immorality_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a all_o the_o holy_a priest_n prophet_n judge_n king_n and_o at_o last_o john_n the_o baptist_n that_o most_o eminent_a and_o most_o holy_a forerunner_n of_o christ_n rather_o send_v invitation_n to_o all_o good_a and_o bad_a to_o come_v in_o and_o keep_v they_o according_a to_o the_o law_n than_o shut_v the_o door_n upon_o they_o xxiv_o but_o now_o our_o sacrament_n and_o those_o of_o our_o forefather_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v as_o to_o the_o thing_n signify_v see_v the_o spiritual_a sense_n of_o they_o altogether_o the_o same_o as_o paul_n 1_o cor._n 10._o plain_o intimate_v and_o therefore_o unless_o it_o can_v appear_v that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n either_o be_v abolish_v or_o change_v in_o this_o point_n none_o have_v authority_n to_o set_v up_o a_o contrary_a practice_n xxv_o for_o as_o against_o the_o anabaptist_n we_o do_v well_o urge_v as_o a_o most_o effectual_a argument_n that_o since_o baptism_n come_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n and_o that_o christ_n do_v nowhere_o forbid_v the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n it_o can_v be_v less_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o baptize_v our_o child_n than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o jew_n to_o circumcise_v they_o so_o may_v we_o here_o argue_v with_o equal_a force_n that_o the_o lord_n supper_n succeed_v to_o the_o eat_v the_o passover_n but_o vice_n and_o immorality_n be_v not_o punish_v by_o prohibit_v they_o to_o eat_v the_o passover_n nor_o be_v the_o jew_n on_o any_o such_o account_n drive_v from_o it_o but_o the_o law_n do_v rather_o invite_v all_o of_o what_o age_n or_o condition_n soever_o especial_o every_o male_a to_o keep_v it_o which_o be_v not_o find_v to_o be_v either_o antiquate_v nor_o abolish_v but_o hold_v still_o as_o to_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o crime_n be_v no_o more_o now_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o deny_v we_o the_o lord_n supper_n neither_o ought_v any_o one_o on_o this_o account_n to_o be_v reject_v but_o enough_o have_v be_v say_v with_o reference_n to_o the_o old_a testament_n it_o be_v time_n we_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n that_o be_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n xxvi_o now_o we_o read_v not_o any_o where_o that_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n do_v in_o any_o wise_a interdict_v any_o person_n access_n unto_o or_o use_v of_o the_o sacrament_n or_o that_o he_o so_o much_o as_o command_v the_o apostle_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v any_o thing_n like_o it_o for_o christ_n come_v not_o into_o the_o world_n to_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v and_o perfect_v it_o therefore_o when_o the_o law_n command_v all_o but_o the_o unclean_a to_o celebrate_v the_o passover_n christ_n will_v not_o sure_o forbid_v any_o one_o xxvii_o for_o it_o be_v very_o clear_a that_o christ_n check_v no_o body_n for_o use_v sacrament_n or_o frequent_v the_o temple_n and_o sacrifice_n but_o only_o caution_v they_o to_o use_v they_o aright_o and_o agreeable_o to_o the_o will_n and_o law_n of_o god_n he_o go_v into_o the_o same_o temple_n with_o pharisees_n sadducee_n publican_n and_o who_o not_o be_v they_o bad_a be_v they_o good_a he_o be_v with_o they_o at_o the_o same_o sacrifice_n use_v all_o sacrament_n promiscuous_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n be_v baptize_v of_o john_n with_o the_o same_o baptism_n as_o those_o wicked_a one_o be_v xxviii_o upon_o this_o account_n be_v it_o that_o jesus_n hinder_v not_o judas_n his_o betrayer_n from_o eat_v the_o last_o paschal_n lamb_n with_o he_o but_o he_o sit_v down_o to_o it_o with_o all_o his_o twelve_o disciple_n not_o but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o who_o endeavour_n to_o prove_v that_o judas_n be_v not_o present_a at_o this_o new_a institute_v supper_n of_o our_o lord_n which_o be_v a_o hard_a if_o not_o a_o impossible_a matter_n to_o evince_v from_o sacred_a writ_n but_o that_o he_o

which_o concession_n our_o argument_n hold_v firm_a and_o unanswerable_a for_o whether_o he_o go_v or_o go_v not_o out_o before_o the_o institution_n of_o another_o supper_n though_o the_o latter_a carry_v most_o of_o probability_n in_o it_o and_o always_o have_v be_v believe_v by_o most_o man_n this_o still_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o be_v present_a and_o partaker_n of_o the_o first_o and_o be_v

in_o his_o new_a institute_v supper_n if_o therefore_o he_o do_v go_v out_o he_o do_v it_o voluntary_o and_o of_o his_o own_o head_n neither_o go_v he_o out_o for_o any_o such_o purpose_n but_o ●he_v question_n with_o we_o be_v what_o christ_n not_o what_o judas_n do_v it_o be_v enough_o for_o our_o purpose_n that_o christ_n never_o command_v he_o to_o withdraw_v from_o his_o supper_n xxix_o but_o the_o common_a put-off_a and_o salvo_n for_o this_o matter_n be_v very_o light_a and_o frivolous_a that_o judas_n his_o crime_n be_v not_o of_o a_o public_a nature_n and_o that_o on_o that_o
