this Memorial when they resolve to live Wickedly and contrary to that Religion and so tread under foot the Son of God and count the Blood of the Covenant His Blood wherewith they were Sanctified an unholy thing They are guilty of the Body and Blood of our Lord and Eat and Drink Judgment to themselves not discerning the Lord's Body not distinguishing the Death of Christ in that Remembrance as they ought to do The Lord's Supper if it be celebrated aright is it self a Preparation to a Religious Life and a Refolution for a Religious Life is the summary Preparation for that Supper Nor can we with a sincere Joy and Thankfulness remember the setting up our Religion by the Death of Christ unless we love our Religion and resolve to live Religiously 3. The Life consequent to this Commemoration must be agreeable to that Religion the setting up of which we commemorate The Jews did not remember what God had done for them and what Religion he had set up among them meerly for the Remembrance sake but they remembred the setting up their Religion That they might be persuaded by such Remembrance to live according to their Religion They did therefore remember what God had done for them and what God would do for the Religious to this end that they might be persuaded to live according to his Religion set up among them And so we Christians Remember the setting up our Religion by the Death of Christ not meerly and ultimately for remembrance sake but that by such remembrance we might be persuaded to live Religiously And for this same end we remember what the Son of God has done for us and what he will do for the Religious that by such Remembrance we may be persuaded to live Religiously according to his Institution A Religious Life according to the Gospel of the Son of God is necessary to our Eternal Happiness und the Memorial of the Lord's Supper is in order to that Religious Life If after the Lord's Supper we do live Religiously through the influence of the Remembrance there Celebrated we then receive the Lord's Supper to good and great purpose but if we do not so live Religiously after it the Lord's Supper is in vain to us Let us not therefore if we be Wicked deceive our selves by a false and preposterous Notion of things There is not any Ritual Preparation for the Lord's Supper by the Devotions of a Week before that can qualify impenitent Sinners to receive they know not what Benefit thereby and they know not how The Lord's Supper is to a wise and serious Christian an Obligation to a Religious Life and that Religious Life must be according to the Gospel in which we see what that Religion was which Christ set up at his Death which we Remember in his Supper To Conclude When we are about to Celebrate the Lord's Supper which is called the Communion or Fellowship of his Body and Blood we must consider how St. Paul exhorts us to approve our selves to God when we Eat this Bread and Drink this Cup. For the Lord's Supper is not like our own Meals in which we Eat and Drink for natural Necessity or Pleasure but it is a Religious Performance in which we remember the Death of our Saviour and the Obligations to our Religion And as the Privilege of those is very great who by Repentance and Faith and Obedience are true Disciples of Christ and as they rightly Commemorate his Death in W●ole Life the Life of Christ is manifest so their Condemnation is just who notwithstanding that the so often Remember the Death of Christ 〈◊〉 which and by which the Religion which they Profess was set up yet do not live as his Distiples bus as his Enemies They sin against the Death of Christ and unless they truly and effectually Repent and Amend his Blood will be upon them to their eternal Destruction Nor are they sure to escape the Judgments of God even in this World who so highly provoke him by their presumptuous Wickedness Consider therefore well with your selves what the Temper of your Hearts and the Course of your Lives are Whether you be such as God does Approve or such as God does Condemn Renew your Repentance exercise your Faith amend what is amiss in your Lives love God above all things and love your Neighbour as you love your selves Live Soberly Righteously and Godly in this present World and let the Remembrance of the Death of Christ prevail with you so to live Give also unfeigned Thanks and Praise unto God for sending his Son into the World to save Mankind from Sin and who to this end lived subject to the Afflictions of this mortal State and suffered the painful and cursed Death of the Cross for us when we had deserved the worst we could suffer by our Sins which Sins we are obliged by the Blood of our Saviour and by the hopes of Pardon to forsake And to the end that the Consideration of the Love of Christ in Living and Dying for us might never be forgotten but might eflectually prevail upon us to live as his Redeemed He has appointed this his Supper to be often Celebrated in Remembrance of him and his Death For this purpose when we are Assembled at the proper time and place let us call to mind what the Son of God has done and suffered for us and let us give Glory to God for this inestimable Mercy and let us Devote our selves Souls and Bodies unto Him which is our reasonable Service MOST great and glorious God the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ by whose name we are called We do not present our selves before thee with any confidence in our own righteousness but humbly confess our sins and implore the forgiveness of them We are wretched dust and ashes less than the least of all thy mercies and have deserved the severest of thy judgments But thou hast assured us by thy Son our Saviour that thou wilt pardon the sins of those who repent and live religiously and thou hast obliged us by this blessed hope so to do We depend upon thy promise in Christ and assure our selves of thy grace to enable and dispose us to live as he lived and we cannot but approve those sacred obligations which the death of thy Son has laid upon us Grant that the remembrance thereof which we celebrate in his Supper may for ever abide upon our Souls and constrain us to live unto him who died for us that we may at last live for ever with him and give glory unto thee who hast redeemed us by his blood Amen THE Bread which we break is the Memorial of the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ its being given for men as the Propitiation for Sin we take and eat this in Remembrance of Him The Wine which we drink is the Memorial of the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ which was shed for men for the Remission of Sins we drink this in
