observe_v the_o matter_n that_o be_v to_o be_v remember_v that_o be_v the_o lord_n death_n then_o second_o we_o tell_v you_o here_o we_o must_v consider_v of_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o remember_n of_o it_o how_o must_v it_o be_v remember_v by_o a_o show_v forth_o by_o a_o lively_a and_o a_o kind_n of_o sensible_a express_v of_o it_o you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v concern_v the_o matter_n to_o be_v remember_v namely_o the_o lord_n death_n there_o we_o show_v you_o first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n namely_o both_o the_o act_n of_o his_o death_n in_o respect_n of_o himself_o and_o likewise_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n in_o respect_n of_o we_o for_o that_o also_o must_v be_v remember_v in_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n then_o when_o as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n death_n i_o show_v you_o that_o howsoever_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v lord_n can_v not_o die_v yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o death_n that_o christ_n do_v suffer_v be_v right_o call_v the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o christ_n be_v man_n be_v also_o god_n and_o lord_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n of_o both_o these_o nature_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n therefore_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n be_v right_o affirm_v of_o he_o as_o be_v god_n and_o lord_n and_o thence_o we_o draw_v this_o observation_n in_o that_o it_o be_v here_o call_v the_o lord_n death_n namely_o that_o howsoever_o christ_n jesus_n be_v cruel_o and_o shameful_o crucify_v and_o put_v to_o a_o most_o cruel_a and_o ignominious_a death_n upon_o the_o cross_n as_o ever_o any_o man_n can_v be_v put_v unto_o yet_o notwithstanding_o even_o in_o that_o state_n of_o his_o death_n he_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o glorious_a lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o follow_v now_o that_o we_o be_v to_o go_v on_o we_o have_v speak_v hitherto_o touch_v the_o lord_n death_n as_o it_o be_v consider_v absolute_o in_o itself_o we_o be_v yet_o further_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o lord_n death_n by_o way_n of_o application_n or_o by_o way_n of_o reference_n of_o it_o to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o so_o you_o see_v here_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o it_o respective_o unto_o this_o supper_n as_o often_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v where_o by_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o look_v what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o concern_v the_o lord_n death_n the_o same_o be_v confine_v expressety_n to_o the_o reference_n of_o the_o lord_n death_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v always_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n jesus_n every_o one_o of_o we_o that_o look_v to_o have_v any_o part_n or_o to_o have_v any_o benefit_n by_o it_o must_v remember_v it_o at_o all_o time_n but_o yet_o when_o as_o we_o come_v to_o communicate_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n than_o there_o be_v require_v of_o we_o a_o more_o special_a meditation_n thereof_o than_o general_o at_o other_o time_n again_o even_o in_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v meditate_v upon_o whole_a christ_n christ_n bear_v christ_n live_v christ_n die_v christ_n bury_v christ_n rise_v again_o for_o christ_n be_v give_v whole_o for_o we_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o christ_n be_v give_v whole_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o therefore_o there_o we_o must_v receive_v christ_n whole_o and_o meditate_v upon_o whole_a christ_n i_o but_o yet_o in_o this_o case_n when_o we_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n than_o we_o must_v more_o

they_o go_v further_o they_o maim_v this_o bless_a sacrament_n they_o make_v this_o communion_n but_o half_a a_o communion_n they_o deprive_v the_o people_n of_o the_o cup_n let_v they_o have_v the_o
