luke_n 22._o 19_o to_o speak_v of_o which_o be_v only_o pertinent_a to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n the_o two_o first_o evangelist_n affirm_v that_o only_o his_o disciple_n be_v with_o he_o see_v

be_v to_o be_v celebrate_v according_a to_o christ_n institution_n now_o there_o be_v a_o question_n raise_v which_o i_o do_v not_o find_v from_o christ_n time_n downward_o untile_v now_o who_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o this_o sacrament_n sect_n ii_o who_o the_o proper_a minister_n of_o this_o sacrament_n there_o be_v many_o dispute_n i_o grant_v but_o move_v new_o there_o be_v as_o i_o hear_v though_o i_o read_v it_o not_o a_o question_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o proper_a minister_n or_o no_o of_o the_o communion_n consider_v therefore_o with_o i_o this_o text_n there_o be_v none_o with_o our_o saviour_n but_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n it_o be_v say_v to_o these_o do_v this_o from_o that_o time_n downward_o it_o have_v be_v hold_v that_o none_o but_o apostolical_a man_n successor_n of_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o the_o great_a and_o high_a concernment_n to_o a_o man_n soul_n that_o ever_o be_v heaven_n or_o hell_n be_v at_o stake_n upon_o it_o if_o we_o miss_v consider_v it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o lift_v up_o a_o creature_n beyond_o its_o nature_n bread_n and_o wine_n to_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n which_o way_n one_o way_n or_o other_o it_o be_v a_o command_n give_v to_o a_o select_a number_n of_o man_n these_o be_v describe_v by_o that_o office_n not_o by_o a_o general_n notion_n to_o be_v

clear_a here_o be_v a_o covenant_n institute_v what_o it_o be_v be_v in_o other_o place_n and_o law_n of_o our_o saviour_n describe_v and_o belong_v not_o to_o my_o business_n this_o only_a appertain_v to_o my_o business_n that_o the_o apostle_n be_v institute_v and_o they_o only_o the_o minister_n of_o it_o only_o this_o little_a i_o will_v add_v lest_o some_o man_n observation_n may_v stagger_v at_o it_o sect_n iii_o the_o communion_n be_v institute_v before_o our_o saviour_n death_n that_o though_o our_o baptism_n may_v perchance_o appear_v to_o take_v its_o force_n from_o some_o command_n of_o christ_n after_o his_o death_n yet_o this_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v now_o institute_v before_o and_o yet_o do_v relate_v to_o his_o death_n first_o because_o circumcision_n be_v not_o determine_v but_o the_o passeover_n be_v which_o prefigure_v the_o lord_n supper_n and_o this_o which_o he_o now_o celebrate_v and_o have_v finish_v be_v the_o last_o which_o by_o god_n command_n shall_v be_v celebrate_v among_o the_o jew_n second_o because_o the_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v at_o hand_n so_o near_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o communion_n interpose_v betwixt_o this_o and_o that_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v give_v in_o the_o very_a nick_n of_o time_n and_o as_o while_o the_o passeover_n be_v on_o foot_n no_o communion_n can_v be_v expect_v so_o as_o soon_o as_o that_o be_v expire_v no_o interim_n betwixt_o this_o and_o that_o this_o must_v appear_v in_o its_o institution_n i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o i_o only_o consider_v that_o as_o in_o humane_a affair_n he_o that_o shall_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o king_n person_n to_o act_v as_o he_o without_o he_o make_v he_o chancellor_n or_o judge_n enter_v into_o a_o high_a presumption_n so_o and_o much_o great_a must_v his_o pride_n be_v that_o dare_v to_o act_n christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o call_v for_o a_o sacramental_a virtue_n to_o the_o element_n without_o his_o authority_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v grant_v only_o to_o this_o sort_n of_o man_n and_o to_o none_o other_o thus_o i_o think_v you_o see_v the_o full_a commission_n of_o the_o apostle_n until_o now_o restrain_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o they_o be_v institute_v as_o yet_o preacher_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n to_o come_v at_o this_o institution_n of_o the_o communion_n the_o celebrater_n of_o that_o that_o they_o and_o the_o other_o disciple_n do_v baptize_v before_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o do_v not_o do_v it_o without_o a_o commission_n in_o honour_n to_o they_o and_o their_o piety_n i_o be_o resolve_v it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o what_o that_o baptism_n be_v or_o when_o or_o how_o far_o they_o have_v a_o commission_n i_o find_v not_o and_o therefore_o dare_v determine_v nothing_o chap._n iu._n god_n method_n for_o man_n salvation_n when_o our_o saviour_n be_v dead_a and_o have_v suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n he_o then_o break_v down_o the_o partition_n

they_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o relation_n of_o reason_n by_o divine_a institution_n i_o consent_v so_o far_o as_o he_o say_v it_o be_v a_o relation_n without_o any_o dispute_n but_o it_o be_v a_o relation_n of_o divine_a make_n and_o confirm_v and_o therefore_o not_o bare_o a_o relation_n of_o reason_n which_o in_o its_o use_n of_o speak_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o constitution_n of_o man_n
