dead_a and_o dull_a than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o have_v less_o mind_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n than_o they_o have_v former_o be_v this_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n you_o will_v

and_o indeed_o be_v better_a than_o mere_o natural_a part_n 1_o if_o it_o be_v only_o natural_a conscience_n it_o put_v upon_o duty_n but_o give_v no_o strength_n to_o do_v they_o but_o when_o the_o

thy_o duty_n as_o in_o a_o round_a but_o now_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n put_v thou_o upon_o holy_a duty_n it_o be_v not_o a_o task_n do_v but_o thou_o sinde_v more_o and_o more_o increase_n in_o communion_n with_o god_n thy_o heart_n more_o raise_v to_o god_n and_o more_o close_v with_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o still_o more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o course_n of_o thy_o life_n i_o have_v a_o little_a converse_n with_o god_n at_o first_o when_o god_n begin_v to_o acquaint_v my_o soul_n with_o his_o way_n but_o through_o his_o mercy_n now_o i_o find_v more_o communion_n with_o he_o and_o so_o thou_o can_v bless_v thyself_o in_o god_n in_o that_o converse_n that_o thou_o have_v in_o communion_n with_o he_o thou_o will_v not_o lose_v that_o communion_n thou_o have_v with_o god_n

again_o as_o natural_a conscience_n do_v give_v no_o strength_n to_o do_v the_o duty_n so_o it_o make_v not_o the_o duty_n to_o be_v strong_a to_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v thus_o there_o be_v no_o

gracious_a heart_n be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n worship_n it_o find_v the_o very_a duty_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o be_v strength_n to_o it_o and_o so_o it_o fit_v it_o for_o another_o duty_n 5_o further_n a_o natural_a conscience_n limit_n its_o self_n and_o be_v bound_v that_o be_v so_o much_o as_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o it_o be_v own_o peace_n and_o quiet_a so_o much_o it_o will_v do_v and_o no_o more_o but_o when_o one_o be_v act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n one_o be_v enlarge_v without_o any_o limit_n at_o all_o not_o bound_v to_o one_o own_o peace_n for_o the_o more_o peace_n a_o gracious_a heart_n have_v in_o duty_n the_o more_o it_o be_v enlarge_v in_o duty_n now_o a_o natural_a conscience_n that_o put_v to_o duty_n and_o will_v act_v you_o when_o you_o want_v peace_n when_o you_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o fear_n but_o when_o you_o be_v not_o in_o trouble_n and_o fear_n than_o it_o put_v not_o on_o the_o heart_n to_o performance_n of_o duty_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n put_v on_o the_o soul_n to_o duty_n when_o there_o be_v most_o peace_n and_o comfort_n 6_o a_o little_a will_v serve_v the_o turn_n to_o satisfy_v a_o natural_a conscience_n so_o be_v it_o they_o perform_v the_o duty_n it_o be_v enough_o but_o one_o that_o be_v act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o duty_n must_v meet_v with_o much_o of_o god_n or_o else_o he_o be_v not_o satisfy_v he_o go_v mourn_v in_o the_o day_n time_n if_o he_o have_v not_o meet_v with_o much_o of_o god_n in_o the_o morning_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n thus_o you_o see_v there_o be_v much_o difference_n between_o the_o act_n of_o natural_a part_n and_o conscience_n in_o duty_n and_o the_o act_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n there_o be_v only_o now_o two_o thing_n more_o for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o duty_n and_o then_o we_o be_v to_o come_v to_o show_v how_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o duty_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o several_a attribute_n of_o god_n but_o first_o for_o those_o two_o head_n further_o 8_o the_o eight_o thing_n be_v this_o when_o you_o come_v to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n if_o you_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n you_o must_v consecrate_v yourselves_o to_o god_n there_o must_v be_v a_o resignation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n estate_n liberty_n name_n and_o all_o you_o be_v have_v or_o can_v do_v unto_o god_n this_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n the_o consecration_n of_o yourselves_o too_o god_n and_o the_o profess_v of_o this_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n when_o you_o be_v to_o pray_v be_v a_o very_a good_a thing_n actual_o to_o profess_v yourselves_o to_o be_v god_n to_o profess_v that_o you_o do_v give_v up_o all_o that_o you_o be_v have_v or_o can_v do_v to_o god_n lord_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n take_v all_o faculty_n of_o soul_n and_o member_n of_o body_n and_o improve_v all_o lay_v out_o all_o to_o thy_o own_o praise_n to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o bring_v glory_n to_o thy_o great_a name_n if_o every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n you_o do_v this_o this_o be_v to_o sanctify_v yourselves_o to_o god_n i_o speak_v before_o of_o a_o sanctify_a heart_n but_o now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o profession_n of_o yourselves_o to_o god_n do_v it_o secret_o at_o least_o in_o your_o own_o thought_n if_o you_o do_v not_o every_o time_n express_v it_o in_o word_n yet_o in_o your_o own_o thought_n do_v it_o devote_v yourselves_o to_o god_n every_o day_n of_o admirable_a use_n it_o will_v be_v if_o every_o day_n when_o man_n and_o woman_n worship_n god_n either_o in_o their_o closert_n or_o family_n they_o do_v profess_o devote_v and_o consecrate_v themselves_o to_o god_n and_o so_o likewise_o every_o time_n they_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n or_o to_o receive_v sacrament_n god_n will_v account_v his_o name_n to_o be_v sanctify_v in_o such_o a_o work_n as_o this_o be_v 9_o last_o that_o that_o must_v make_v all_o up_o and_o witout_a which_o all_o the_o other_o be_v nothing_o it_o be_v that_o you_o must_v tender_v up_o all_o your_o worship_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n let_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n worship_n god_n never_o so_o well_o yet_o when_o they_o have_v do_v all_o if_o they_o do_v not_o tender_v it_o up_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n god_n will_v not_o account_v his_o name_n to_o be_v sanctify_v thou_o must_v by_o faith_n look_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o glorious_a mediator_n that_o be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n by_o who_o thou_o have_v access_n unto_o the_o father_n and_o act_v thy_o faith_n upon_o christ_n and_o give_v up_o thy_o duty_n into_o his_o hand_n as_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n to_o be_v tender_v up_o to_o the_o father_n by_o he_o though_o thou_o have_v labour_v what_o thou_o can_v to_o perform_v duty_n as_o well_o as_o thou_o be_v able_a yet_o thou_o must_v not_o think_v to_o tender_v it_o up_o by_o thy_o own_o hand_n unto_o god_n but_o thou_o must_v tender_v it_o up_o to_o the_o father_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o so_o thou_o shall_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n we_o read_v in_o levit._n 16.13_o that_o when_o aaron_n be_v to_o tender_v up_o the_o incense_n he_o be_v to_o put_v the_o incense_n on_o the_o fire_n before_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o cloud_n of_o the_o incense_n may_v cover_v the_o mercy_n seat_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o testimony_n that_o he_o die_v not_o mark_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o his_o life_n be_v worth_a whether_o he_o do_v it_o or_o do_v it_o not_o now_o incense_v it_o be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n call_v

prayer_n and_o so_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n too_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o emblem_n of_o prayer_n the_o offer_v up_o of_o our_o prayer_n be_v the_o offer_v up_o of_o incense_n to_o god_n and_o the_o mercy_n seat_v it_o be_v a_o type_n of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o the_o incense_n shall_v cover_v the_o mercy_n seat_n so_o our_o prayer_n must_v go_v up_o to_o jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v upon_o he_o and_o so_o must_v be_v accept_v by_o the_o father_n and_o as_o we_o read_v in_o judg._n 13.20_o when_o manoah_n offer_v a_o sacrifice_n the_o text_n say_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n ascend_v in_o the_o flame_n this_o angel_n of_o god_n here_o be_v jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o may_v eaâ—â—ly_v from_o this_o scripture_n make_v it_o out_o and_o he_o ascend_v up_o in_o the_o flame_n from_o the_o altar_n now_o though_o we_o do_v not_o offer_v such_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n with_o fire_n and_o incense_n as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o when_o we_o be_v offer_v up_o of_o our_o incense_n there_o must_v be_v a_o flame_n of_o fervency_n and_o zeal_n but_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o together_o with_o the_o flame_n of_o the_o altar_n the_o angel_n of_o god_n jesus_n christ_n the_o great_a angel_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n for_o angel_n signify_v nothing_o but_o messenger_n the_o great_a messenger_n that_o be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n about_o that_o great_a errand_n of_o he_o to_o reconcile_v the_o world_n to_o himself_o he_o must_v ascend_v up_o in_o the_o flame_n and_o so_o god_n will_v account_v his_o name_n to_o be_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v not_o sanctify_v but_o through_o jesus_n christ_n the_o act_n of_o our_o faith_n upon_o christ_n as_o mediator_n be_v a_o special_a ingredient_n to_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o holy_a duty_n as_o you_o know_v the_o scripture_n say_v that_o the_o altar_n do_v sanctify_v the_o gift_n offer_v upon_o the_o altar_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o altar_n upon_o who_o all_o our_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n be_v to_o be_v offer_v and_o this_o altar_n do_v sanctify_v the_o gift_n that_o be_v offer_v upon_o it_o let_v never_o so_o great_a a_o gift_n be_v offer_v upon_o

jesus_n christ_n himself_o be_v our_o altar_n upon_o who_o we_o be_v to_o offer_v all_o our_o sacrifice_n and_o this_o altar_n must_v sanctify_v the_o gift_n we_o can_v never_o have_v our_o gift_n sanctify_v no_o nor_o god_n name_v sanctify_v in_o this_o gift_n except_o it_o be_v offer_v upon_o this_o altar_n and_o our_o faith_n act_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n people_n little_a think_v of_o

such_o kind_n of_o thing_n every_o one_o that_o have_v any_o enlighten_v of_o conscience_n will_v think_v of_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o but_o people_n do_v least_o think_v of_o this_o which_o be_v the_o great_a ingredient_n of_o all_o that_o be_v require_v in_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o holy_a duty_n that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o tender_v up_o all_o to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n how_o many_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o have_v be_v professor_n of_o religion_n 20_o or_o 30_o year_n and_o yet_o not_o acquaint_v with_o this_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n to_o tender_v up_o all_o to_o god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n this_o be_v that_o that_o upon_o divers_a occasion_n i_o have_v speak_v unto_o and_o be_o willing_a upon_o

reject_v of_o god_n and_o cast_v away_o now_o then_o put_v all_o these_o nine_o thing_n together_o and_o see_v by_o they_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v that_o we_o may_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o

a_o god_n as_o we_o be_v now_o worship_v now_o then_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o scrip_n ure_n say_v of_o god_n and_o then_o let_v we_o see_v what_o suitable_a disposition_n we_o shall_v have_v in_o we_o unto_o those_o thing_n that_o the_o scripture_n say_v of_o god_n 1_o first_o you_o know_v the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n in_o joh_n 4.24_o then_o present_o

he_o be_v a_o infinite_a and_o glorious_a spirit_n well_o then_o sure_o bodily_a worship_n be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o i_o though_o i_o do_v kneel_v down_o in_o prayer_n or_o do_v come_v and_o present_v my_o body_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n or_o my_o body_n to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n this_o be_v not_o to_o worship_n god_n as_o a_o spirit_n if_o indeed_o that_o our_o god_n be_v as_o the_o heathen_n that_o be_v corporeal_a than_o it_o be_v another_o matter_n then_o bodily_a worship_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n but_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n he_o must_v have_v spiritual_a worship_n therefore_o my_o soul_n and_o all_o that_o be_v within_o i_o magnify_v his_o name_n say_v david_n my_o soul_n magnify_v his_o name_n not_o my_o lip_n only_o but_o my_o soul_n the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o

for_o you_o to_o come_v and_o fit_a in_o a_o pew_n and_o have_v the_o sound_n of_o a_o man_n voice_n in_o your_o ear_n but_o your_o soul_n must_v be_v at_o work_n and_o so_o when_o you_o come_v to_o

when_o thou_o come_v to_o worship_n take_v heed_n thou_o do_v not_o come_v in_o thy_o own_o strength_n for_o there_o be_v more_o require_v in_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n than_o thy_o

before_o mention_v none_o stir_v up_o himself_o to_o take_v hold_n on_o god_n quicken_v up_o thy_o heart_n and_o rouse_v up_o thy_o spirit_n when_o thou_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n 3_o when_o ever_o

when_o thou_o find_v thou_o can_v not_o do_v it_o according_a to_o what_o be_v require_v in_o any_o comfortable_a measure_n let_v the_o shame_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n for_o it_o abide_v upon_o

and_o so_o for_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n or_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o this_o will_v further_o thou_o mighty_o for_o the_o sanctify_a the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n but_o now_o that_o all_o may_v be_v seal_v up_o unto_o you_o and_o so_o that_o we_o may_v close_v the_o point_n know_v that_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o he_o and_o there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n in_o the_o point_n first_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o a_o way_n of_o justice_n second_o if_o we_o do_v sanctify_v his_o name_n than_o he_o will_v sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n towards_o we_o for_o the_o first_o god_n will_v manifest_v that_o he_o be_v displease_v with_o such_o

tender_a up_o to_o he_o for_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o god_n shall_v accept_v of_o such_o unholy_a thing_n from_o man_n god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v like_a unto_o themselves_o as_o a_o man_n if_o he_o do_v entertain_v any_o as_o his_o familiar_a friend_n that_o be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a it_o be_v his_o disgrace_n and_o dishonour_n a_o man_n may_v sometime_o employ_v in_o some_o business_n those_o that_o be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a and_o it_o may_v be_v no_o disgrace_n to_o he_o but_o if_o he_o do_v entertain_v one_o in_o his_o house_n that_o be_v wicked_a it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o he_o so_o god_n may_v employ_v the_o most_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o world_n in_o some_o outward_a service_n but_o if_o he_o shall_v accept_v of_o they_o in_o his_o worship_n it_o will_v be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o god_n that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v his_o own_o name_n he_o will_v manifest_v his_o displeasure_n at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o against_o such_o duty_n of_o worship_n you_o that_o perform_v worship_n in_o a_o formal_a manner_n and_o with_o unclean_a vile_a heart_n i_o say_v it_o stand_v upon_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n if_o he_o will_v manifest_v himself_o a_o holy_a god_n he_o must_v manifest_v some_o dipleasure_n against_o that_o way_n of_o thy_o worship_v of_o he_o this_o one_o meditation_n one_o will_v think_v shall_v mighty_o sink_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o man_n that_o have_v a_o enlighten_v conscience_n to_o think_v thus_o it_o stand_v upon_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n and_o he_o can_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n except_o he_o do_v some_o way_n or_o other_o appear_v to_o be_v against_o i_o in_o such_o duty_n that_o i_o tender_v up_o unto_o he_o now_o you_o will_v say_v how_o do_v god_n appear_v that_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o they_o he_o will_v appear_v in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1_o first_o by_o blast_v those_o that_o do_v worship_n he_o thus_o in_o a_o formal_a way_n it_o shall_v at_o first_o be_v secret_a but_o afterward_o it_o will_v appear_v more_o apparent_o and_o we_o see_v it_o by_o experience_n that_o such_o as_o have_v be_v professor_n of_o religion_n and_o worship_n god_n in_o hypocrisy_n and_o in_o formality_n they_o have_v be_v blast_v in_o their_o part_n and_o common_a gift_n the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_v it_o be_v secret_a at_o first_o it_o strike_v they_o dead_a and_o though_o by_o fire_n yet_o if_o you_o read_v the_o story_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o their_o clothes_n be_v not_o

gift_n he_o blast_v they_o i_o say_v inward_o though_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v outward_o yet_o at_o length_n it_o will_v appear_v before_o man_n that_o they_o be_v blast_v and_o in_o these_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o lord_n do_v come_v with_o spiritual_a judgement_n rather_o than_o with_o outward_a temporal_a judgement_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n those_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n the_o lord_n do_v appear_v by_o some_o external_a and_o visible_a way_n upon_o their_o body_n but_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o god_n come_v with_o more_o spiritual_a judgement_n upon_o man_n soul_n and_o those_o be_v the_o most_o terrible_a judgement_n we_o have_v a_o notable_a scripture_n for_o this_o in_o isa_n 29.13_o how_o god_n do_v blast_v those_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o holy_a duty_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n say_v forasmuch_o as_o this_o people_n draw_v near_o i_o with_o their_o

to_o make_v a_o preparation_n many_o man_n for_o want_n of_o preparation_n to_o duty_n they_o lose_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o time_n when_o they_o come_v to_o perform_v a_o duty_n of_o worship_n in_o prayer_n they_o spend_v half_o the_o time_n that_o be_v convenient_a to_o be_v spend_v in_o prayer_n before_o they_o begin_v to_o pray_v and_o so_o in_o hear_v the_o word_n they_o be_v a_o long_a

lose_v because_o you_o have_v not_o prepare_v before_o hand_n for_o it_o perhaps_o you_o kneel_v upon_o your_o knee_n but_o you_o be_v a_o long_a time_n before_o you_o can_v get_v your_o heartâ—_n

natural_o exceed_o unprepared_a for_o every_o good_a work_n we_o be_v all_o natural_o even_o reprobate_a to_o every_o good_a work_n the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v high_a and_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a thing_n but_o by_o nature_n our_o heart_n grovel_v in_o the_o dirâ—_n and_o we_o be_v carnal_a sensual_a drossy_a dead_a slight_a sottish_a and_o vain_a altogether_o unfit_a to_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n oh_o that_o we_o be_v but_o apprehensive_a and_o sensible_a of_o the_o unfitness_n of_o our_o heart_n to_o come_v into_o god_n presence_n perhaps_o because_o thou_o know_v not_o god_n thou_o can_v rush_v into_o his_o presence_n without_o any_o more_o ado_n but_o if_o thou_o know_v thyself_o and_o god_n thou_o can_v not_o but_o see_v thyself_o altogether_o unfit_a for_o his_o presence_n and_o so_o as_o to_o wonder_v that_o the_o lordshould_n not_o spurn_v thou_o out_o of_o his_o presence_n every_o time_n thou_o come_v unto_o he_o there_o have_v need_v then_o be_v preparation_n because_o we_o be_v so_o unfit_a to_o come_v into_o his_o presence_n four_o there_o have_v need_n be_v preparation_n because_o of_o the_o great_a hindrance_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n this_o business_n and_o the_o other_o business_n will_v hinder_v the_o entanglement_n they_o will_v hinder_v the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n they_o will_v hinder_v sometime_o the_o

there_o be_v so_o many_o hindrance_n in_o the_o way_n many_o of_o you_o will_v complain_v that_o you_o be_v much_o hinder_v but_o do_v you_o do_v what_o you_o can_v to_o make_v preparation_n before_o

the_o heathen_n themselves_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n when_o they_o do_v but_o worship_v their_o idol_n god_n they_o will_v make_v some_o preparation_n such_o as_o be_v suitable_a to_o those_o

much_o that_o they_o be_v convin_v in_o their_o conscience_n that_o when_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v people_n shall_v be_v prepare_v the_o sixth_o &_o last_o reason_n have_v a_o great_a deal_n in_o it_o which_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v of_o we_o find_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v make_v the_o uprightnes_n of_o the_o heart_n much_o to_o consist_v in_o preparation_n for_o worship_n and_o do_v make_v the_o falseness_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o man_n do_v not_o prepare_v perhaps_o you_o have_v not_o so_o much_o think_v of_o this_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v of_o excellent_a use_n unto_o you_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o scripture_n do_v make_v the_o very_a uprightness_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o confist_n in_o the_o preparation_n for_o duty_n and_o the_o

christ_n see_v that_o his_o church_n have_v need_n of_o it_o that_o he_o shall_v that_o night_n when_o he_o be_v betray_v have_v his_o thought_n busy_v about_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o be_v

the_o supper_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v great_a love_n in_o it_o christ_n see_v that_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n why_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o such_o a_o ordinance_n as_o this_o be_v and_o not_o to_o account_v it_o as_o a_o common_a and_o ordinary_a thing_n 3._o we_o must_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o this_o because_o it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o our_o communion_n with_o christ_n wherein_o we_o come_v to_o have_v such_o a_o near_a union_n and_o communion_n with_o he_o as_o to_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o to_o drink_v his_o blood_n and_o to_o sit_v at_o his_o table_n we_o come_v to_o have_v communion_n with_o christ_n even_o in_o all_o our_o sense_n now_o christ_n come_v so_o full_o to_o we_o that_o call_v upon_o we_o to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n when_o we_o come_v before_o he_o 4_o in_o this_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v seal_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n come_v to_o be_v seal_v in_o both_o the_o part_n of_o it_o now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n both_o to_o have_v the_o seal_n on_o his_o part_n and_o the_o seal_n on_o we_o sure_o this_o must_v needs_o call_v for_o a_o sanctify_v use_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o be_v so_o holy_a as_o this_o be_v and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o this_o because_o if_o we_o be_v in_o ordinary_a eat_n &_o drink_v we_o must_v do_v it_o then_o in_o this_o wherein_o there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o god_n wherein_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n be_v set_v before_o we_o wherein_o there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n wherein_o we_o be_v to_o have_v close_a communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o wherein_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n come_v to_o be_v seal_v on_o both_o side_n there_o have_v need_v therefore_o be_v sanctify_v of_o god_n name_n in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o second_o consider_v this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o duty_n in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n that_o i_o know_v of_o that_o be_v urge_v with_o more_o strength_n and_o severity_n than_o this_o be_v as_o that_o place_n in_o 1_o cor._n 11._o show_v where_o you_o have_v require_v of_o every_o one_o that_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o they_o shall_v examine_v themselves_o and_o so_o eat_v and_o you_o have_v the_o most_o dreadful_a expression_n against_o those_o that_o do_v not_o do_v it_o that_o i_o know_v be_v mention_v against_o the_o neglect_n of_o any_o duty_n in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n there_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v that_o whosoever_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o first_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o second_o he_o eat_v and_o drink_v his_o own_o damnation_n these_o two_o expression_n have_v as_o much_o dreadfulness_n in_o they_o as_o can_v be_v imagine_v and_o we_o do_v not_o find_v a_o exhortation_n to_o a_o duty_n back_v with_o two_o such_o severe_a expression_n in_o case_n we_o shall_v neglect_v our_o duty_n as_o this_o exhortation_n what_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o this_o duty_n we_o come_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n bloodguiltiness_n be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n you_o know_v david_n cry_v out_o lord_n deliver_v i_o from_o bloodguiltiness_n to_o have_v but_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o ordinary_a man_n to_o lie_v upon_o one_o to_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o vilede_a rogue_n that_o live_v in_o a_o murderous_a way_n it_o will_v lie_v upon_o the_o conscience_n and_o be_v very_o terrible_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o such_o a_o man_n can_v be_v quiet_a all_o his_o

of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n who_o blood_n be_v ten_o thousand_o thousand_o time_n more_o worth_a than_o the_o blood_n of_o all_o the_o man_n that_o ever_o live_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o

to_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o lord_n will_v charge_v he_o of_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o guilty_a of_o abuse_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o he_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v his_o own_o damnation_n but_o we_o shall_v speak_v more_o to_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o show_v how_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o those_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v it_o here_o in_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n i_o will_v not_o therefore_o spend_v further_a time_n in_o those_o scripture_n for_o i_o bring_v they_o only_o now_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o it_o that_o we_o do_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o this_o ordinance_n three_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o strike_v more_o upon_o a_o man_n conscience_n we_o find_v it_o by_o experience_n even_o upon_o wicked_a man_n conscience_n and_o especial_o upon_o such_o as_o begin_v to_o be_v enlighten_v in_o the_o holiness_n of_o this_o ordinance_n god_n have_v put_v much_o honour_n upon_o it_o i_o confess_v some_o man_n may_v use_v it_o superstitious_o though_o it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n yet_o god_n have_v put_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o

though_o about_o forty_o year_n of_o age_n and_o be_v ask_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o confess_v that_o he_o live_v in_o some_o sin_n that_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o leave_v and_o therefore_o will_v

that_o be_v his_o child_n that_o must_v sit_v at_o his_o table_n therefore_o they_o must_v be_v holy_a now_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o that_o first_o thing_n that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n but_o such_o as_o have_v submit_v to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n before_o such_o as_o have_v grace_n and_o ability_n to_o examine_v

the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 17._o verse_n for_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n therefore_o all_o that_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n they_o must_v so_o come_v as_o

can_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n alone_o there_o must_v be_v a_o communion_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v to_o be_v administer_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o there_o be_v one_o godly_a man_n there_o but_o

what_o if_o wicked_a man_n do_v come_v there_o will_v that_o hinder_v we_o from_o sanctify_a god_n name_n in_o partake_v of_o the_o sacrament_n with_o they_o do_v not_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n

and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o reform_v than_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o tell_v the_o church_n to_o tell_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n when_o they_o meet_v together_o for_o so_o the_o word_n

fit_a yet_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o concern_v the_o church_n as_o well_o to_o look_v who_o come_v there_o and_o likewise_o the_o minister_n i_o say_v to_o look_v about_o he_o that_o he_o do_v not_o say_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v to_o thou_o when_o he_o know_v they_o be_v profane_a and_o wicked_a it_o concern_v the_o minister_n to_o look_v that_o he_o do_v not_o

to_o the_o institution_n shall_v give_v the_o sacrament_n to_o no_o particular_a but_o in_o general_a to_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v but_o any_o particular_a that_o the_o

kingdom_n come_v they_o do_v as_o much_o as_o say_v o_o lord_n do_v thou_o set_v thyself_o against_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o thy_o kingdom_n if_o they_o belong_v to_o thy_o election_n lord_n

prayer_n but_o now_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o prayer_n the_o most_o thing_n i_o confess_v be_v there_o first_o when_o we_o come_v to_o prayer_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o pray_v with_o understanding_n 1_o cor._n 14.15_o what_o be_v it_o then_o i_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o â—â—irâ—â—_n and_o will_v pray_v with_o understand_v also_o god_n do_v not_o love_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n we_o must_v not_o come_v babble_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n to_o speak_v we_o know_v not_o what_o and_o to_o multiply_v word_n we_o know_v not_o wherefore_o but_o god_n do_v require_v that_o those_o that_o come_v to_o prayer_n come_v with_o understanding_n that_o they_o offer_v to_o god_n a_o rational_a a_o reasonable_a a_o understand_a sacrifice_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n now_o as_o it_o belong_v to_o all_o other_o duty_n of_o worship_n so_o especial_o in_o prayer_n to_o know_v what_o we_o do_v when_o we_o pray_v not_o to_o think_v to_o put_v off_o god_n with_o a_o mere_a empty_a sound_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o prayer_n it_o be_v the_o give_v up_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o it_o i_o speak_v to_o that_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o general_a we_o shall_v apply_v it_o now_o particular_o to_o prayer_n the_o give_v up_o not_o only_o our_o understanding_n but_o will_n thought_n affection_n strength_n in_o prayer_n in_o 2_o chron._n 20.3_o it_o be_v say_v of_o jehoshaphat_n that_o he_o set_v himself_o to_o seek_v the_o

indeed_o may_v well_o take_v up_o a_o whole_a sermon_n in_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o prayer_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o so_o in_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o trouble_v with_o the_o wander_a of_o their_o thought_n both_o in_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v their_o great_a burden_n and_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o i_o never_o hear_v any_o more_o complain_n of_o the_o wander_a of_o their_o spirit_n than_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o pester_v in_o their_o spirit_n with_o this_o evil_a it_o be_v very_o grievous_a unto_o they_o and_o many_o of_o they_o go_v under_o it_o as_o a_o grievous_a burden_n all_o their_o day_n the_o chief_a burden_n that_o be_v upon_o their_o spirit_n be_v their_o wander_a in_o prayer_n so_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o they_o as_o he_o speak_v unto_o solomon_n and_o bid_v he_o ask_v what_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v many_o in_o this_o congregation_n that_o have_v already_o good_a assurance_n of_o god_n love_n in_o christ_n if_o they_o have_v not_o that_o that_o will_v be_v the_o main_a thing_n that_o they_o will_v ask_v but_o have_v attain_v that_o if_o god_n will_v speak_v from_o heaven_n and_o say_v what_o shall_v i_o give_v you_o for_o yourselves_o if_o he_o shall_v ask_v you_o in_o the_o general_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v ask_v something_o for_o the_o church_n but_o if_o it_o be_v for_o yourselves_o you_o will_v put_v up_o this_o petition_n oh_o lord_n that_o i_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o a_o wander_a spirit_n in_o holy_a duty_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o

than_o if_o god_n shall_v give_v they_o to_o be_v king_n or_o queen_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o god_n shall_v put_v these_o two_o into_o the_o balance_n either_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o

but_o those_o that_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n they_o find_v it_o to_o be_v very_o grievous_a to_o they_o but_o be_v the_o time_n be_v past_a i_o shall_v reserve_v that_o to_o speak_v yet_o a_o

that_o be_v wicked_a and_o vile_a that_o not_o only_o have_v vain_a wander_a thought_n in_o prayer_n but_o even_o in_o the_o very_a duty_n of_o prayer_n many_o time_n have_v wicked_a and_o ungodly_a

some_o blasphemous_a thought_n cast_v into_o they_o for_o the_o devil_n be_v never_o more_o busy_a than_o at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n but_o they_o rather_o come_v from_o the_o devil_n than_o
