point_n that_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n here_o in_o this_o speech_n make_v mention_n of_o the_o outward_a element_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n he_o call_v they_o by_o their_o own_o proper_a name_n eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n that_o be_v this_o wine_n he_o call_v

shall_v eat_v this_o body_n and_o drink_v this_o blood_n but_o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n and_o this_o he_o do_v after_o the_o blessing_n and_o consecration_n to_o this_o sacred_a use_n and_o that_o appear_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n for_o look_v what_o bread_n our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o former_a word_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o here_o see_v he_o infer_v it_o by_o way_n of_o reason_n now_o that_o which_o christ_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o verse_n go_v before_o be_v bread_n after_o it_o be_v bless_v and_o consecrate_v bread_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o bread_n still_o and_o so_o likewise_o it_o appear_v plain_o by_o the_o whole_a drift_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o chapter_n where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n namely_o after_o consecration_n doctr._fw-la 2_o the_o point_n of_o doctrine_n that_o hence_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o howsoever_o the_o creature_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n use_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v consecrate_v by_o the_o institution_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o a_o spiritual_a and_o sacred_a use_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o thereby_o change_v out_o of_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n but_o still_o for_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n they_o continue_v the_o same_o creature_n as_o before_o the_o same_o bread_n and_o the_o same_o wine_n bread_n still_o as_o it_o be_v bread_n
