would signifie unto us, That the com∣munion which all the faithfull, both great and small, have with Christ, and with his flesh and bloud, is true and reall: and yet not made any o∣ther way but by the power and bond of the Spirit. And therefore, although it be secret, full of mysteries, and Spirituall; because it is made by the Spirit and by faith: Yet we are not to doubt but by reason of the same Spirit it is as true and essentiall, as that is between the man and the wise which are made 〈◊〉〈◊〉 flesh; and that, between the foundation 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the stones which are built thereupon; and that, between the tree and the boughes; between the vine and the branches; and last of all that, between the head and the members which are knit to∣gether with ligaments and sinewes▪ and live & work by one and the same soul: Insomuch that we can have no greater union with Christ, whilst we are in this mortall flesh.
