same_o word_n the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o they_o be_v life_n or_o the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n as_o if_o st._n peter_n have_v say_v we_o do_v not_o understand_v thou_o in_o that_o gross_a and_o absurd_a sense_n to_o which_o these_o man_n have_v pervert_v thy_o say_n for_o we_o perceive_v that_o thou_o speak_v of_o those_o doctrine_n and_o revelation_n by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o be_v guide_v to_o eternal_a life_n but_o if_o st._n peter_n have_v understand_v our_o saviour_n in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n and_o his_o revolt_a disciple_n understand_v he_o st._n peter_n answer_n will_v sure_o have_v be_v to_o this_o purpose_n whatever_o appearance_n there_o be_v of_o inhumanity_n and_o contradiction_n in_o give_v thy_o flesh_n to_o be_v eat_v and_o thy_o blood_n to_o be_v drink_v for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v eat_v thy_o natural_a flesh_n and_o drink_v etc._n etc._n because_o thou_o have_v say_v it_o for_o though_o this_o hard_a say_v stagger_v those_o man_n that_o be_v go_v off_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o stagger_v we_o at_o all_o this_o have_v be_v a_o confession_n of_o faith_n suitable_a to_o the_o occasion_n and_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o st._n peter_n if_o he_o have_v understand_v our_o saviour_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v at_o least_o he_o will_v have_v use_v those_o very_a expression_n which_o our_o saviour_n use_v when_o the_o jew_n take_v offence_n i._n e._n he_o will_v have_v say_v to_o who_o shall_v we_o go_v but_o to_o thou_o who_o will_v give_v we_o thy_o flesh_n to_o eat_v and_o thy_o blood_n to_o drink_v that_o we_o may_v have_v eternal_a life_n but_o when_o he_o rather_o choose_v to_o confess_v his_o faith_n in_o the_o explanatory_a word_n v._o 63._o thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n i_o think_v a_o reasonable_a man_n must_v acknowledge_v that_o st._n peter_n do_v not_o understand_v our_o saviour_n expression_n as_o the_o perverse_a jew_n understand_v they_o 69._o and_o we_o have_v already_o arrive_v to_o this_o faith_n by_o see_v thy_o mighty_a work_n and_o hear_v thy_o divine_a doctrine_n for_o by_o these_o testimony_n we_o be_v convince_v beyond_o all_o doubt_n that_o thou_o be_v the_o promise_a messiah_n and_o whereas_o these_o man_n cast_a thou_o the_o son_n of_o joseph_n we_o assure_o believe_v that_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o that_o god_n who_o give_v life_n to_o all_o and_o will_v give_v eternal_a life_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o thou_o and_o to_o this_o answer_n of_o peter_n all_o the_o rest_n assent_v v._o 69._o and_o st._n peter_n have_v thus_o show_v plain_o enough_o what_o he_o understand_v by_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n viz._n his_o doctrine_n or_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n he_o show_v as_o plain_o in_o this_o verse_n what_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n understand_v by_o eat_v viz._n believe_v as_o jesus_n himself_o have_v explain_v it_o before_o verse_n 47._o therefore_o say_v he_o and_o we_o believe_v and_o be_v sure_a etc._n etc._n so_o that_o by_o what_o st._n peter_n say_v upon_o this_o occasion_n it_o appear_v sufficient_o that_o if_o jesus_n have_v mean_v the_o literal_a and_o gross_a sense_n the_o jew_n and_o the_o disciple_n that_o forsake_v he_o understand_v he_o aright_o and_o peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n that_o stay_v mistake_v he_o which_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o do_v not_o because_o our_o saviour_n approve_v what_o st._n peter_n say_v in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n it_o be_v i_o believe_v more_o safe_a to_o follow_v st._n peter_n with_o the_o approbation_n of_o our_o saviour_n than_o to_o follow_v any_o of_o his_o successor_n without_o it_o 70._o but_o this_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o jesus_n to_o show_v that_o he_o as_o well_o understand_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o twelve_o apostle_n as_o he_o do_v of_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o disciple_n v._n 64._o answer_v they_o to_o this_o purpose_n what_o one_o of_o you_o have_v say_v in_o behalf_n of_o all_o be_v true_a of_o all_o but_o one_o i_o have_v indeed_o choose_v you_o twelve_o before_o all_o my_o other_o disciple_n to_o be_v my_o chief_a companion_n and_o minister_n but_o there_o be_v one_o of_o you_o who_o already_o hate_v i_o and_o be_v treacherous_o bend_v to_o do_v i_o mischief_n 71._o though_o he_o do_v not_o mention_n judas_n the_o traitor_n yet_o he_o mean_v he_o and_o not_o any_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n the_o conclusion_n and_o now_o i_o hearty_o beseech_v all_o into_o who_o hand_n these_o paper_n may_v chance_v to_o come_v not_o to_o think_v that_o this_o chapter_n be_v to_o be_v do_v withal_o when_o they_o be_v once_o satisfy_v what_o our_o lord_n meaning_n be_v in_o those_o expression_n of_o eat_v he_o and_o the_o like_a but_o that_o they_o will_v please_v to_o attend_v to_o the_o reason_n and_o end_v of_o these_o and_o such_o kind_n of_o say_n which_o will_v convince_v they_o i_o doubt_v not_o that_o this_o excellent_a chapter_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v think_v of_o and_o lay_v to_o heart_n every_o day_n they_o live_v great_a pity_n it_o be_v that_o this_o portion_n of_o god_n word_n also_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v a_o bone_n of_o contention_n which_o be_v design_v to_o beget_v and_o improve_v in_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n a_o spirit_n of_o true_a wisdom_n and_o piety_n and_o to_o establish_v they_o in_o a_o holy_a life_n that_o which_o our_o lord_n principal_o aim_v at_o in_o all_o this_o discourse_n be_v to_o make_v his_o hearer_n concern_v in_o good_a earnest_n for_o their_o eternal_a state_n which_o will_v at_o first_o sight_n appear_v to_o any_o man_n that_o mind_v how_o often_o those_o say_n return_v of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o be_v raise_v up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n now_o this_o indeed_o seem_v to_o be_v his_o great_a design_n in_o almost_o all_o his_o sermon_n and_o application_n to_o the_o people_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v gather_v this_o profitable_a instruction_n that_o man_n be_v more_o or_o less_o prepare_v to_o receive_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n according_a as_o they_o be_v more_o or_o less_o affect_v with_o the_o end_n of_o his_o come_n into_o the_o world_n which_o be_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o everlasting_a life_n but_o in_o this_o chapter_n and_o in_o some_o other_o there_o be_v a_o peculiar_a instruction_n tend_v to_o this_o purpose_n which_o we_o ought_v all_o of_o we_o very_o frequent_o to_o consider_v not_o slight_v it_o because_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a but_o make_v much_o of_o it_o both_o because_o it_o be_v very_o useful_a and_o strong_o suggest_v by_o our_o lord_n himself_o and_o it_o be_v in_o short_a this_o that_o the_o care_n we_o be_v at_o and_o the_o pain_n we_o take_v for_o the_o welfare_n of_o this_o short_a life_n shall_v awaken_v in_o we_o a_o great_a care_n and_o concern_v for_o our_o everlasting_a welfare_n and_o that_o we_o who_o be_v so_o thoughtful_a and_o diligent_a in_o pursue_v our_o temporal_a interest_n shall_v be_v ashamed_a and_o count_v ourselves_o reprove_v by_o our_o worldly_a care_n if_o we_o be_v not_o much_o more_o careful_a to_o work_v out_o our_o salvation_n this_o be_v the_o method_n our_o lord_n take_v to_o bring_v those_o people_n to_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o he_o represent_v to_o they_o the_o mean_n and_o condition_n of_o everlasting_a life_n under_o the_o name_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o their_o heart_n have_v hitherto_o be_v most_o set_v upon_o i.e._n bread_n and_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o these_o be_v the_o man_n that_o have_v be_v feed_v by_o he_o the_o day_n before_o and_o now_o they_o follow_v he_o for_o the_o loaf_n that_o be_v in_o hope_n to_o reap_v such_o bodily_a advantage_n as_o these_o from_o he_o every_o day_n but_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o some_o sense_n of_o better_a thing_n and_o to_o lead_v they_o towards_o a_o due_a esteem_n of_o that_o end_n for_o which_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n he_o proceed_v in_o his_o admonition_n by_o call_v the_o spiritual_a benefit_n which_o he_o have_v in_o store_n for_o they_o bread_n and_o food_n and_o their_o receive_v those_o benefit_n eat_v and_o drink_v ever_o and_o anon_o let_v they_o know_v that_o if_o they_o eat_v and_o drink_v of_o that_o food_n which_o he_o come_v to_o give_v they_o they_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o what_o be_v the_o instruction_n of_o this_o way_n of_o discourse_v to_o they_o but_o that_o if_o the_o bodily_a food_n for_o which_o they_o be_v so_o solicitous_a be_v a_o valuable_a enjoyment_n which_o yet_o will_v serve_v but_o for_o the_o prolong_n of_o a_o mortal_a life_n how_o ought_v
believe_v that_o all_o thing_n will_v go_v well_o now_o he_o be_v with_o they_o and_o so_o it_o prove_v for_o though_o they_o have_v make_v so_o little_a progress_n before_o yet_o now_o the_o ship_n come_v present_o to_o the_o place_n whither_o it_o be_v bind_v 22._o now_o the_o people_n who_o jesus_n have_v feed_v in_o the_o desert_n be_v not_o so_o perfect_o disperse_v but_o that_o many_o of_o they_o keep_v together_o till_o the_o day_n follow_v and_o come_v to_o the_o shore_n where_o the_o disciple_n take_v ship_n the_o evening_n before_o and_o although_o they_o know_v there_o be_v no_o other_o boat_n there_o when_o the_o disciple_n go_v to_o sea_n but_o that_o into_o which_o they_o enter_v and_o that_o jesus_n do_v not_o go_v with_o they_o 23._o though_o there_o come_v other_o boat_n from_o tiberias_n afterward_o which_o these_o man_n find_v that_o morning_n near_o the_o place_n where_o the_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v 24._o yet_o know_v that_o the_o disciple_n be_v go_v and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v jesus_n on_o that_o side_n they_o believe_v he_o be_v go_v after_o they_o though_o they_o know_v not_o how_o v._n 25._o and_o so_o they_o resolve_v to_o follow_v the_o disciple_n in_o those_o boat_n that_o be_v new_o come_v from_o tiberias_n hope_v to_o find_v jesus_n himself_o with_o they_o at_o capernaum_n or_o bethsaida_n 25._o and_o when_o they_o find_v he_o they_o desire_v to_o know_v by_o what_o miracle_n he_o get_v thither_o so_o soon_o for_o they_o know_v he_o go_v not_o over_o with_o his_o disciple_n and_o no_o other_o boat_n be_v on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o transport_v he_o but_o those_o in_o which_o they_o come_v and_o the_o way_n by_o land_n over_o the_o bridge_n of_o tiberias_n be_v too_o far_o about_o to_o get_v thither_o in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n 26._o but_o jesus_n without_o satisfy_v their_o curiosity_n in_o this_o matter_n turn_v the_o discourse_n to_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o answer_v they_o in_o this_o manner_n i_o certain_o know_v that_o you_o do_v not_o follow_v i_o for_o the_o true_a end_n of_o those_o miracle_n which_o i_o work_v which_o be_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v in_o i_o and_o obtain_v everlasting_a life_n but_o mere_o for_o that_o present_a benefit_n which_o you_o hope_v to_o receive_v by_o they_o as_o you_o do_v yesterday_o when_o you_o do_v eat_v etc._n etc._n 27._o but_o i_o have_v a_o far_a end_n in_o feed_v your_o body_n which_o now_o i_o require_v you_o to_o mind_n and_o that_o be_v to_o persuade_v you_o not_o to_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n for_o the_o prolong_n of_o a_o life_n which_o will_v short_o end_v as_o for_o that_o virtue_n and_o knowledge_n which_o be_v the_o food_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o mean_n of_o live_v happy_o for_o ever_o when_o this_o life_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o you_o shall_v follow_v the_o son_n of_o man_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o the_o father_n have_v show_v he_o to_o be_v the_o person_n who_o shall_v convey_v these_o blessing_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o that_o by_o those_o wonderful_a work_n which_o he_o have_v send_v he_o to_o do_v for_o the_o relief_n of_o their_o body_n 28._o these_o man_n be_v so_o sudden_o disgu_v with_o this_o spiritual_a doctrine_n that_o they_o reply_v in_o this_o manner_n we_o who_o have_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n do_v already_o know_v what_o work_v god_n require_v and_o can_v thou_o tell_v we_o what_o will_v be_v more_o please_v to_o he_o than_o our_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n 29._o jesus_n answer_v god_n have_v send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o reveal_v a_o better_a doctrine_n and_o to_o prescribe_v a_o better_a life_n than_o moses_n do_v and_o that_o work_v please_v to_o god_n and_o necessary_a to_o your_o salvation_n which_o you_o must_v do_v be_v in_o short_a this_o to_o believe_v he_o who_o god_n have_v send_v and_o to_o take_v his_o word_n for_o your_o security_n in_o do_v all_o that_o he_o require_v 30._o but_o they_o be_v so_o strange_o prejudice_v against_o jesus_n upon_o his_o call_v they_o off_o from_o the_o care_n of_o this_o world_n to_o a_o heavenly_a life_n and_o a_o better_a hope_n that_o the_o late_a miracle_n for_o which_o they_o have_v so_o extol_v he_o v._n 14._o be_v now_o in_o their_o opinion_n nothing_o at_o all_o and_o so_o they_o reply_v to_o he_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v if_o thou_o pretend_v to_o a_o high_a doctrine_n than_o moses_n teach_v why_o do_v not_o thou_o show_v we_o equal_a if_o not_o great_a sign_n and_o wonder_n than_o he_o wrought_v that_o we_o may_v see_v they_o and_o believe_v thou_o for_o their_o sake_n what_o do_v thou_o perform_v answerable_a to_o such_o a_o mighty_a faith_n as_o thou_o require_v of_o we_o note_n v._o 30._o this_o sudden_a turn_v of_o they_o be_v so_o strange_a that_o grotius_n do_v not_o allow_v those_o that_o say_v this_o to_o be_v the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v feed_v in_o the_o wilderness_n the_o day_n before_o but_o i_o can_v see_v no_o reason_n for_o his_o opinion_n for_o the_o evangelist_n plain_o seem_v to_o continue_v the_o relation_n as_o of_o the_o same_o person_n and_o it_o be_v no_o unusual_a thing_n for_o man_n either_o to_o keep_v or_o alter_v their_o persuasion_n as_o they_o be_v lead_v by_o their_o prejudices_fw-la and_o interest_n and_o our_o saviour_n tell_v those_o that_o have_v be_v feed_v in_o the_o wilderness_n that_o they_o follow_v he_o for_o worldly_a advantage_n and_o not_o for_o instruction_n in_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a matter_n v._o 26._o so_o that_o find_v themselves_o disappoint_v it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a that_o they_o will_v fall_v in_o their_o opinion_n of_o he_o to_o which_o we_o may_v add_v that_o one_o main_a design_n of_o his_o follow_a discourse_n be_v to_o show_v that_o external_a evidence_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o create_v faith_n without_o the_o inward_a preparation_n of_o a_o sincere_a and_o honest_a mind_n which_o be_v very_o pertinent_a to_o the_o case_n of_o those_o man_n who_o be_v make_v confident_a that_o jesus_n be_v that_o prophet_n by_o the_o late_a miracle_n till_o they_o find_v that_o his_o doctrine_n be_v contrary_a to_o their_o worldly_a affection_n for_o which_o reason_n i_o have_v choose_v to_o continue_v the_o discourse_n in_o the_o paraphrase_n as_o the_o text_n seem_v to_o direct_v i._n e._n between_o jesus_n and_o the_o same_o person_n that_o speak_v to_o he_o v._o 25._o rather_o than_o to_o substitute_v other_o speaker_n for_o which_o there_o be_v neither_o authority_n of_o the_o text_n nor_o any_o need_n upon_o the_o

all_o for_o you_o may_v please_v to_o consider_v also_o that_o when_o our_o saviour_n find_v some_o of_o his_o disciple_n to_o understand_v he_o as_o the_o carnal_a jew_n do_v he_o think_v fit_a for_o

of_o eat_v his_o flesh_n which_o be_v a_o more_o plain_a intimation_n of_o that_o violent_a death_n which_o he_o be_v to_o suffer_v for_o we_o than_o that_o former_a say_v of_o give_v his_o flesh_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o though_o he_o keep_v still_o to_o the_o allusion_n yet_o he_o represent_v what_o kind_n of_o death_n he_o be_v to_o suffer_v more_o full_o than_o he_o have_v do_v before_o but_o perhaps_o you_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n why_o he_o continue_v to_o speak_v allusive_o at_o all_o when_o he_o find_v that_o he_o be_v so_o gross_o
mistunderstood_v and_o then_o i_o answer_v as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o the_o note_n upon_o that_o place_n that_o i_o be_o not_o oblige_v to_o say_v precise_o what_o our_o saviour_n reason_n be_v for_o that_o but_o beside_o what_o you_o will_v find_v there_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o sometime_o it_o well_o become_v a_o man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o authority_n when_o he_o find_v his_o word_n pervert_v by_o cavil_a people_n to_o repeat_v they_o again_o and_o thereby_o to_o speak_v his_o own_o assurance_n that_o they_o do_v not_o drop_v unadvised_o from_o he_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o but_o his_o hearer_n fault_n that_o he_o be_v misunderstand_v and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o reasonable_a to_o be_v say_v in_o the_o present_a case_n if_o the_o jew_n wilful_o pervert_v our_o saviour_n word_n to_o that_o absurd_a sense_n of_o eat_v his_o flesh_n with_o their_o tooth_n as_o it_o be_v probable_o they_o do_v and_o that_o because_o his_o expression_n be_v plain_o allusive_a and_o because_o also_o the_o allusion_n be_v now_o and_o then_o explain_v as_o i_o show_v before_o what_o inconvenience_n be_v it_o therefore_o to_o suppose_v that_o our_o lord_n perceive_v that_o his_o divine_a discourse_n and_o exhortation_n have_v but_o harden_v they_o in_o a_o spirit_n of_o contradiction_n do_v not_o think_v himself_o bind_v to_o use_v present_o the_o utmost_a

in_o this_o matter_n i_o refer_v you_o once_o more_o to_o the_o paraphrase_n and_o note_n which_o be_v already_o finish_v and_o where_o some_o little_a light_n be_v give_v to_o those_o passage_n which_o may_v seem_v obscure_a enough_o i_o hope_v to_o lead_v you_o out_o of_o all_o danger_n of_o suspect_v those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n v._o 51_o etc._n etc._n to_o enforce_v that_o the_o
