regeneration_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v make_v it_o pure_a clean_a without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n and_o a_o holy_a and_o glorious_a church_n m._n i_o do_v never_o yet_o so_o well_o

and_o touch_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v thou_o think_v that_o our_o soul_n and_o conscience_n be_v wash_v and_o make_v clean_o in_o baptism_n as_o one_o will_v with_o water_n wash_v a_o

well_o know_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v the_o wash_n of_o soul_n and_o of_o conscience_n not_o as_o though_o they_o must_v be_v wash_v and_o dip_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o

to_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o which_o thou_o have_v say_v to_o wit_n what_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n signify_v concern_v the_o wash_n and_o purification_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o

jesus_n christ_n bodily_a as_o a_o garment_n and_o be_v wash_v with_o his_o blood_n as_o with_o a_o material_a bath_n why_o shall_v thou_o not_o find_v it_o as_o strange_a or_o more_o strange_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o the_o body_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v natural_o and_o bodily_a eat_v and_o drunken_a in_o the_o supper_n as_o be_v the_o bread_n &_o the_o wine_n which_o be_v the_o sign_n m._n thou_o make_v i_o to_o consider_v somewhat_o more_o deep_o of_o this_o matter_n than_o heretofore_o i_o do_v p._n it_o be_v a_o matter_n well_o to_o be_v think_v on_o for_o if_o that_o in_o baptism_n we_o have_v no_o carnal_a communication_n with_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o only_o a_o spiritual_a i_o see_v not_o what_o great_a reason_n there_o be_v to_o have_v rather_o in_o the_o supper_n a_o carnal_a communication_n with_o he_o than_o in_o baptism_n consider_v that_o the_o supper_n depend_v of_o baptism_n and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o a_o more_o ample_a confirmation_n of_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n into_o the_o which_o we_o begin_v to_o enter_v by_o baptism_n and_o do_v continue_v by_o the_o

as_o well_o with_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o body_n &_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o with_o the_o faith_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n and_o

the_o true_a nature_n of_o they_o m._n expound_v this_o same_o unto_o i_o somewhat_o more_o at_o large_a p._n for_o the_o first_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o to_o think_v that_o the_o body_n of_o

that_o his_o blood_n be_v also_o drunken_a as_o be_v the_o wine_n which_o be_v the_o sign_n for_o be_v it_o that_o thou_o understand_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n be_v convert_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n or_o else_o that_o the_o body_n be_v eat_v with_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o blood_n drunken_a with_o the_o wine_n yet_o be_v there_o still_o great_a

very_a true_a natural_a body_n in_o every_o respect_n like_o unto_o we_o as_o touch_v the_o corporal_a substance_n sin_n except_o it_o be_v certain_a and_o true_a that_o he_o be_v not_o bodily_a and_o

all_o that_o but_o why_o be_v it_o then_o that_o they_o forge_v we_o a_o corporal_a and_o natural_a presence_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o steed_n of_o a_o

see_v not_o how_o they_o will_v agree_v their_o opinion_n with_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o do_v confess_v not_o only_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v go_v up_o into_o heaven_n

ascension_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v nothing_o against_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o against_o who_o thou_o have_v so_o long_o dispute_v for_o they_o deny_v not_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v go_v

their_o doctrine_n with_o this_o confession_n m._n they_o allege_v two_o thing_n upon_o this_o point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n where_o jesus_n christ_n be_v do_v stretch_v over_o all_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o sacrament_n the_o supper_n be_v invisible_a wherefore_o albeit_o that_o he_o be_v there_o bodily_a in_o the_o proper_a substance_n of_o his_o body_n &_o blood_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o there_o visible_o but_o invisible_o p._n if_o they_o make_v no_o space_n between_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o heaven_n and_o that_o they_o will_v stretch_v out_o the_o heaven_n even_o to_o the_o earth_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o chryst_n have_v not_o absent_v he_o from_o the_o earth_n as_o touch_v his_o body_n and_o that_o he_o do_v retire_v himself_o when_o he_o go_v up_o into_o heaven_n it_o may_v not_o then_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v ascend_v as_o the_o scripture_n witness_v but_o that_o he_o have_v always_o remain_v upon_o earth_n without_o depart_v from_o thence_o against_o that_o which_o he_o himself_o do_v prophesy_v to_o his_o disciple_n it_o must_v also_o be_v say_v that_o he_o shall_v then_o have_v make_v himself_o invisible_a to_o they_o and_o that_o he_o be_v still_o yet_o on_o earth_n not_o visible_a but_o invisible_a how_o that_o the_o presence_n

if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v no_o true_a ascension_n of_o jesus_n christ_n into_o heaven_n p._n albeit_o that_o it_o be_v so_o yet_o must_v it_o needs_o be_v that_o he_o have_v a_o

thou_o do_v not_o only_o dishonour_v that_o man_n which_o be_v thy_o carnal_a father_n but_o in_o he_o do_v thou_o dishonour_v god_n thy_o eternal_a father_n of_o who_o the_o carnal_a father_n be_v

love_a kindness_n by_o this_o instrument_n and_o the_o more_o that_o he_o make_v his_o image_n to_o shine_v in_o he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v thy_o wickedness_n &_o iniquity_n the_o great_a but_o if_o it_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o thy_o father_n shall_v be_v untrue_a towards_o god_n &_o shall_v require_v of_o thou_o a_o thing_n wherein_o thou_o can_v not_o obey_v he_o unless_o thou_o shall_v disobey_v god_n thou_o be_v not_o at_o all_o in_o any_o thing_n bind_v unto_o he_o in_o such_o a_o case_n for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n thou_o be_v dispense_v with_o in_o the_o first_o table_n &_o by_o the_o interpretation_n &_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o same_o for_o see_v that_o the_o honour_n which_o thou_o owe_v to_o thy_o father_n do_v comprehend_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n &_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o same_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o god_n be_v dishonour_v in_o that_o which_o thy_o father_n require_v of_o thou_o thou_o do_v not_o honour_v he_o at_o all_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o thou_o be_v command_v by_o god_n to_o honour_v he_o if_o thou_o do_v it_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o thy_o father_n require_v thou_o to_o do_v for_o thy_o father_n can_v be_v
