needs be by a valuable Consideration made Justification Evangelical 88. 1 Pet. 1.18 19. Scripture WHen the Scripture wants a Tongue of Expression we need not an Ear of Attention we may safely knock at the Council Door of God's Secrets but if we go further we may be more Bold than Welcome Cyril of Alexandria Basil when he had read the Bible over he said It was a Physician 's Shop of Preservatives against Poysonous Heresies a Pattern of profitable Laws against Rebellious Spirits a Treasure of most profitable Jewels against Beggarly Elements and a Fountain of most pure Water springing to Eternal Life Sanctification Sanctification and the New-Creature are no less than for a Man to be brought into an Intire Resignation of his Will to the Will of God and to live in the offering up his Soul continually in the Flames of Love a whole Burnt-Offering to Christ And how little says he are many of those who profess Christianity experimentally acquainted with this Work on their Souls Bishop Usher The Work of Sanctification that is true and effectual is a Work of the Spirit of God on the Soul enabling it to the Mortification of all Sin and to the Obeying of every Command to work with God in all well-pleasing Rom. 8.13 1 Pet. 1.2 Heb. 23. Mead. There is an Inward and an outward Sanctification Inward Sanctification is that which deals with the Soul and its Faculties as Understanding Conscience Memory and Affections Outward Sanctification is that which deals with the Life and Conversation both these concur to make a Christian indeed Thes 5.23 The Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ This is my Body by the Word This our Saviour meant This Bread is Infinitely plain to any that is unprejudiced What did he take the Text tells you he took Bread What he took he also Blessed Broke and Gave This he said Take Eat and then adds This is my Body this will be put out of doubt if by the following This in those Words This is my Blood by This be meant This Cup no reason can be assigned why This in Mat. 26.26 should not denote This Cup if This ver 28. denote This Cup It is true that St. Matthew and St. Mark having mentioned the Cup which Jesus Took Blessed and Gave tell us that Jesus said This is my Blood and tho' it be plain from what goes before that by This be meant This Cup Yet we have further proof of it still for whereas St. Matthew and Mark say only This St. Luke and St. Paul say This Cup and having this Warrant for This in the latter words to understand This Cup where lies the Blame when by the former This Bread. But I proceed This Verb IS is Interpretable according to the subject Matter but where it is used of a Sacrament and joyns the sign and the thing signified together and where another sence contended for is destructive to our Senses and against Reason and other Scripture 't is reasonable to understand it to Import the same with the Word Signifie and this is the present Case There are many more Reasons but what hath been here said may satisfie any unprejudiced Person Of the Real Presence acknowledged by Protestants in the Holy Sacrament made appear by a plain and familiar Example viz. A Father makes his last Will and by it bequeatheth his Estate and all the Profits of it to his Child He delivers it into the hands of his Son and bids him to take there his House and Lands by this his last Will he delivers to him The Son in this case receives nothing but a Roll of Parchment with a Seal to it from his Father But yet by vertue of this Parchment he is Intitled to his Estate performing the Condition of his Will and to all the Benefits and Advantages of it And in that Deed he truly and effectually received the very House and Lands that were conveyed to him Our Saviour Christ in like manner being now about to leave the World gives this holy Sacrament as a final Bequest to us in it he conveys to us a right to his Body and Blood and to all the Spiritual Blessings and Graces that proceed from them So that as we receive the holy Eucharist as we ought to do we receive nothing but a little Bread and Wine into our hands but by the blessing and promise of Christ we by that Bread and Wine as really and truly become partakers of Christ's Body and Blood as the Son by the Will of his Father was made Inheriter of his Estate Nor is it more necessary for this that Christ's Body should come down from Heaven or the outward Elements which we receive be substantially turned into it than it is necessary in that other case that the very Houses and Lands should be given into the hands of the Son to make a real Delivery or Conveyance to them or the Will of the Father be truly and properly Changed into the very Nature and Substance of him Soul. THat which the Soul is in the Body that are Christians in the World for as the Soul is in and not of the Body so Christians are in but no part of the World. Justin Martyr He that feasts his Body but starves his Soul is like him that feasts his Slaves but starves his Wife Ephrahim Cirus As the Soul is the Life of the Body so the Life of the Soul is God When the Soul departs the Body dies when God departs the Soul dies Prosper The reasonable Soul made in the likeness of God may here find much Distraction or no full Satisfaction for it being capable of Good can be satisfied with nothing but God.

GOD Condemns none before he Sins nor Crowns any before he overcomes P. Lumbard It is best not to Sin and next that amend upon the Punishment Justin Martyr Our Sins being Sins against the Infinite Majesty of God none but our Saviour who also is an Infinite Majesty both God and Man can make Satisfaction for them Bishop of Hereford's Legacy When Sinners have no sence of their Spiritual Condition it is plain they are dead in Sin the Tokens of Eternal Death are upon them Mead. In Deut. 5.25 28 29. They promise to fear God and keep his Commandments but they wanted a new Heart to perform what an unsanctified Heart had promised There is a strife against Sin in one and the same
