- It is alamentable'thing to behold ,hOw this ho-
{sly 'Saéram'ent, which was ordained by Chrift to ,
ibea bond whereby wee {houldbe .knit together
in vnity,is by Satans malice, and-the corruption
of” man‘s difpoﬁtion, fo ﬁtangely peruerted the
Contrary Way, that it. is made the‘principall oc-

caﬁon of that wofull diftraaion which wee fee a—
' ' mongi’t Chrii'tians at this day, and the very fuel]
of endlelTe ﬁrifes, and implacable contentiQnS- l ,
Ahdfor‘as much. as thefe mifchiefes haue pro-
Ceeded from theinconﬁderate confounding of
'thofe things which in their ownenature areas
different as may be :for the cleercr diﬁinguifhing
of, matters, we are in the ﬁrﬁ place to conﬁder,
that a Sacrament taken in‘his full exrent, com-
prehendeth two things in it": that which'is out-
ward and viﬁble, which the Schooles call pro-
perly Sacramentum, (in a more ‘ftriét acception
of the Word:) and that which is inward andin-
uiﬁble, Which they mama we» WWW, the
principall thing exhibited in the Sacrament.
Thus in the Lords Supper, theoutwardﬂ thing
which we fee without eyes,is bread and wine, the
inward thing which wee‘ apprehend by faith is,
the éody and/21m! of Cbrg/Z : in the outward part
of this myfticall action, which reacheth to that
which is Sacramentum onely, we receiue this bo‘.
' dy and blood but facramentally, in the inward, .
which containeth rem, the thing it felfe in it, wee I '
rcceiuc them really: and confcquently the pre—
fcnce of thcfe in the one is relatiue andﬁmbolicaﬂ; .

1 things diﬁant in place may be vnited together,by _
hauing. the {pit-it of the one communica ted vnto
the Other.

Naygif we marke it well,we {hall ﬁnde it to be
thus 'in euery of our owne bodies : that-the for-
mall reafon of the vnion of themembers con;
ﬁlieth nor in the continuity of the parts (though
that alfo be requiﬁte to the vuity of a natural! bo-
dy:) but in the animation thereof by one and the
fame fpirit. If we {hould fuppofe a body to betas

be where Chrift our Head is, and the feet where
we his members are: no fooner could that head
thinke of mouin one of the toes, but inﬂantly
the thing would %>e done, without any impedi-
ment giuen by that huge diftance of the one
from the Other. And why P becaufe the fame foule
tha't'is inthe head, as in. the fountaine of fence
and morion, is prefer“: likeW-ife in the loweﬂ
member of the body.But if it {hould {'0 fallout,
that this,or any Other member proued to be mor.
tiﬁed, it prefently would ceafe to bee a member
of that body; the corporall coniunaion and con-
tinuity with the Other parts norwithﬁanding.
And euen thus is it in Chtiﬁ; although integapd
of his corporall prefence, the heme» mag/l rcm'ue

and all occaﬁons whereby a man might be‘temp-
ted to commit fo*vile a ﬁnne. The bodily danger
that followeth vPon the toleration of Idolaters,
is: that they ﬂaould be in t/Jez'r ﬁdes, that is, ( as in
anorher place it ’is more fully orpreﬂéd) they
ould'lze pride! in their eyes, and theme: in Meir
ﬁdes, and/bould vexe tbem in tbe Lam! :vbereiiz thy
dwelled. Now in bOth thefe refpeéts it is certaine,
that the tolerationof the Idolaters with whom
we haue to doc, is farre more perillous than of
any Other. In regard of the _fpirituall danger ,
wherewith ﬁmple foules are more like to bee in-
t‘fnared: becaufe this kinde of Idolatry is not
brought in with an Open {hew of impiety,(as
thatofthe‘Pagans) but is a my/lery ofiniquityﬁ
wickedneffe eouered'with the vaile of piety 5 and
the harlot, which maketh the inhabitants of the
earth drunke with the wine ofxthis, fornication,
is, both gilded her felfe, and prefenteth alfo her
abominations vnto her followers in 4 cup of gold.
If we looke to outward perill, we are like to ﬁnd
thefe men ,nor thornes in our fades to vexe vs, but
daggers in our hearts to deﬁroy vs. Nor thatI
take all of them tobeof this furious difpoﬁtion,
‘ (miftake me nor : I know a number my felfe of a
ﬁne different temper : ) but becaufe there are ne-
uer wanting amongthem fome turbulent hu.
mours, To inﬂamed with the fpirit of fornication,
that they runne mad with it -, and are tranlported
fo farre, that no tolerable termes can content
