help your Humiliation and Repentance you bring thither a loaden miserable Soul to receive a pardon and relief And you see before you the Sacrificed Son of God who made his soul an offering for sin and became a Curse for us to save us who were accursed 2. To draw out your desires you have the most excellent gifts and the most needful mercies presented to you that this world is capable of Even the pardon of sin the Love of God the Spirit of Grace and the hopes of Glory and Christ himself with whom all this is given 3. To exercise your Faith you have Christ here first represented as crucified before your eyes and then with his benefits freely given you and offered to your acceptance with a Command that you refuse him not 4. To exercise your delight and gladness you have this Saviour and this Salvation tendered to you and all that your souls can well desire set before you 5. To exercise your Thankfulness what could do more than so great a Gift so dearly purchased so surely sealed and so freely offered 6. To exercise your Love to God in Christ you have the fullest manifestation of his attractive Love even offered to your eyes and taste and heart that a soul on earth can reasonably expect in such wonderful condescension that the greatness and strangness of it surpasseth a natural mans belief 7. To exercise your hopes of life eternal you have the price of it here set before you you have the Gift of it here sealed to you and you have that Saviour represented to you in his suffering who is now there reigning that you may remember him as expectants of his Glorious coming to judge the world and glorifie you with himself 8. To exercise your self-denyal and resolution for suffering and contempt of the world and fleshly pleasures you have before you both the greatest example and obligation that ever could be offered to the world when you see and receive a Crucified Christ that so strangely denyed himself for you and set so little by the world and flesh 9. To exercise your love to Brethren yea and Enemies you have his example before your eyes that loved you to the death when you were Enemies And you have his holy servants before your eyes who are amiable in him through the workings of his Spirit and on whom he will have you shew your love to himself 10. And to excite your Resolution for future odedience you see his double Title to the Government of you as Creator and as Redeemer and you feel the obligations of Mercy and Gratitude and you are to renew a Covenant with him to that end even openly where all the Churches are witnesses So that you see here are powerful object before you to draw out all these Graces and that they are all but such as the work requireth you then to exercise III. But that you may be the readier when it cometh to practice I shall as it were lead you by the hand through all the parts of the administration tell you when and how to exercise every grace and those that are to be joyned together I shall take together that needless distinctness do not trouble you 1. When you are called up and going to the Table of the Lord exercise your Humility Desire and Thankfulness and say in your hearts What Lord dost thou call such a wretch as I What! me that have so oft despised thy mercy and wilfully offended thee and preferred the filth of this world and the pleasures of the flesh before thee Alas it is thy wrath in Hell that is my due But if love will choose such an unworthy guest and Mercy will be honoured upon such sin and misery I come Lord at thy call I gladly come Let thy will be done and let that mercy which inviteth me make me acceptable and graciously entertain me and let me not come without the wedding Garment nor unreverently rush on holy things nor turn thy mercies to my bane 2. When the Minister is confessing sin prostrate your very souls in the sense of your unworthiness and let your particular sins be in your eye with their hainous aggravations The whole need not the Physician but the sick But here I need not put words into your mouths or minds because the Minister goeth before you and your hearts must concurr with his Confessions and put in also the secret sins which he omitteth 3. When you look on the Bread and Wine which is provided and offered for this holy use remember that it is the Creator of all things on whom you live whose Laws you did offend and say in your hearts O Lord how great is my offence who have broken the Laws of him that made me and on whom the whole Creation doth depend I had my Being from thee and my daily Bread and should I have requited thee with disobedience Father I have sinned against Heaven and before thee and am no more worthy to be called thy Son 4. When the words of the Institution are read and the Bread and Wine are solemnly consecrated by separating them to that sacred use and the acceptance and blessing of God is desired admire the mercy that prepared us a Redeemer and say O God how wonderful is thy wisdom and thy love How strangely dost thou glorifie thy mercy over sin that gave advantage to glorifie thy justice Even thou our God whom we have offended hast out of thy own Treasury satisfied thy own justice and given us a Saviour by such a Miracle of Wisdom Love and Condescention as men or Angels shall never be able fully to comprehend so didst thou love the sinful world as to give thy Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life O thou that hast prepared us so full a remedy and so pretious a gift sanctifie these Creatures to be the Representative Body and Blood of Christ and prepare my heart for so great a gift and so high and holy and honourable a work 5. When you behold the Consecrated Bread and Wine discern the Lords Body and reverence it as the Reprsentative Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and take heed of Prophaning it by looking on it as common Bread and VVine Though it be not Transubstantiate but still is very Bread and VVine in its Natural being yet it is Christs Body and Blood in representation and effect Look on it as the consecrated Bread of life which with the quickning Spirit must nourish you to life eternal 6. When you see the Breaking of the Bread and the Pouring out of the VVine let Repentance and Love and Desire and Thankfulness thus work within you O wondrous Love O hateful sin How merciful Lord hast thou been to sinners how cruel have we been to our selves thee Could Love stoop lower Could God be merciful at a dearer rate Could my sin have done a more horrid deed than put to death the Son of God How small a
hazard my Eternal pleasures Speak sinner was it not so The sinner answers My God these weeping eyes and bended knees confess so much God speaks Had I not told thee that sin would cost thee thy life then thou hadst had some excuse have I said it and will the great God change sinner thou must die I told thee so before and now I tell thee again the God of Heaven cannot lye Get thee gone thou cursed wretch into eternal flames and keep that Devil company in chains and torments with whom thou hast rebelled against me and go see what pleasures thou hast in sinning The Sinner answereth Thou great God and terrible Judge I do confess thy sentence just but if there be any powels of mercy in thee pity me or I die for ever Mercy mercy Lord for I am thy creature the workmanship of thy hands If there be any thing in the trembling heart and hands and knees of this thy sentenced prisoner that will move compassion O pity pity a condemned sinner God speaks What! stays he longer to trouble my patience I say be gone thou cursed though thou art my creature know that my wrath hath kindled on better creatures than thou art get thee to Hell and the howling Devils will tell thee as much The sinner speaks Ah wo wo wo to me for ever cursed I am and cursed must I go for ever My righteous Judge and ye Glorious Angels adieu for ever Live live for ever bless'd and happy in his love I might have lived and joyed and gloried in that God that made both ye and me but like a wretch that I am wo that ever I was born I sold his favour and so my eternal life for a thing of nought a vain lust a sinful pleasure that lasted but for a season and I go I go into eternal flames What says my heart to this Methinks the very thoughts of it do make my heart to quiver and my flesh to shake all round about me I feel no strength in all my joints God speaks So so I am glad something moves thee But think again that the Devil did take hold of thee and drag thee from the place thou fittest on to Hell suppose the Father frowning on thee and all the Angels shouting thee down to Hell and glorying in thy damnation but think again thou sawest when all were joying to see thee sentenced to Hell that he that sat just by the Judge whom thou thoughtest even now to be his Son but knewest it not Look look methings I see him rise off his Throne see see how the Angels fall to adore him methinks he is a coming near thee Oh how my heart doth tremble Oh what will he torment me before my time Ah me my doom is great enough already Sinner speaks Thou wilt not send me to a worser place than Hell my Judge hath passed my sentence thou canst not send me into worser than flames or punish me longer than everlastingly Christ answers Oh how my bowels turn this sinner knows not what is in my heart he thinks I am his enemy Sinner shake off thy tears and wipe thine eyes thou shalt not die The sinner speaks again Oh thou glorious God or Angel or I know not what to call thee do not delude or deride a poor Caitiff wretch in the midst of misery Why wilt thou raise me to such a pinacle of hope to cast me down and make my fall the greater My Judge hath passed the sentence I must die and who can reverse the doom Ah! I must go see my prison-door wide open the smoke and flashes come to meet my despairing soul half way Christ speaks And now my heart begins to break my love can keep no longer in how causlesly doth this wretch torment his heart he knows not who I am I must reveal my self Sinner I love thee I say thou shalt not die Come feel my heart and pulse how they beat and tell how strong my love within doth act them Dost thou not fee I have left my Throne and am come down to the Bar where thou standest condemned But why dost thou weep Come let me wipe thine eyes and bind up thy bleeding and despairing heart I tell thee thou shalt not die If Heaven will have blood it shall have mine so it will but spare thine Sinner if thou knewest who I am thou wouldest not doubt one tittle I tell thee I am his Son his only Son that but now condemned thee I know he is just and justice must be satisfied But do not thou fear if one of us must die it shall be I I will pour out my blood a sacrifice for sin and appease his wrath and make you friends again Ye innumerable company of Angels yet servants at my Father will why do ye rejoyce to see my prisoner sent to Hell this cursed soul over whom in glory you do now triumph I do resolve to die for and to buy her to my self a Spouse and to make her blessed with your selves and give her a Princes's place on a Throne that is by my self Sinner speaks Is this a dream or am I waking the goodness greatness glory of this sudden unexpected blessed change tempts me to doubt whether it be true or whether it be some unruly fancy that doth delude this wretched heart of mine What for the Son of God to debase himself so low as to take my nature so my cause and become the prisoner What! and though he knows he shall be cast Will he hear the sentence and quietly bear bolts and shackles and chains which should have fettered me Yet more than this Doth he know it is impossible to get a reprieve from his Father and judge and that he must most assuredly drink the bitterest dregs of Death more bitter than Devils or damned Souls in Hell has yet ever tasted of For it is impossible the Cup should pass And can he will he dare he venture But stay I must be a Spouse to be exalted from this Dunghill to be a Princess to the Son and Heir of Glory Hold hold here 's enugh it is a dream an idle fancy of a distempered brain I shall never find a heart to believe one Syllable But yet methinks if it be a dream 't is a Golden one Is it possible that such a damned wretch as I could harbour such silken gilded thoughts of such love grace mercy and tenderness of the Son of God Oh my heart if they were not true how came they into my mind or how came they to stay or could they if but meer fictions make such a change in my heart Could they so victoriously conquer all my fear silence all my doubts allay the heats of a scorched and be-helled Conscience But why a dream poor wretched heart Didst thou not see him step off his Throne Was it a time to dream or sleep in when thou wert before the judgment-seat while God was frowning and the Devils dragging thee to and fro to
matter hath tempted me to that which must cost so dear before it was forgiven How dear payed my Saviour for that which I might have avoided at a very cheap rate At how low a price have I valued his Blood when I have sinned and sinned again for nothing This is my doing My sins were the Thorns the Nails the Spear Can a Murderer of Christ be a small offender O dreadful justice It was I and such other sinners that deserved to bear the punishment who were guilty of the sin and to have been fewel for the unquenchable flames for ever O pretious Sacrifice O hateful sin O gracious Saviour how can mans dull and narrow heart be duly affected with such transcendent things or Heaven make its due impression upon an inch of flesh Shall I ever again have a dull apprehension of such Love Or ever have a favourable thought of sin Or ever have a fearless thought of justice O break or melt this hardened heart that it may be somewhat conformed to my crucified Lord The tears of Love and true Repentance are easier than the flames from which I am redeemed O hide me in these wounds and wash me in this pretious blood This is the Sacrifice in which I trust This is the Righteousness by which I must be justified and saved from the Curse of thy violated Law As thou hast accepted this O Father for the world upon the Cross Behold it till on the behalf of sinners and hear his Blood that cryeth unto thee for mercy to the miserable and pardon us and accept us as thy Reconciled Children for the sake of this Crucified Christ alone We can offer thee no other Sacrifice for sin and we need no other 7. When the Minister applyeth himself to God by prayer for the efficacy of this Sacrament that in it he will give us Christ and his benefits and pardon and justifie us and accept us as his reconciled Children joyn heartily and earnestly in these requests as one that knoweth the need and worth of such a mercy 8. When the Minister delivereth you the consecrated Bread and Wine look upon him as the messenger of Christ and hear him as if Christ by him said to you Take this my broken body and blood and feed â—â— it to everlasting life and take with it no sealed Covenant and therein the sealed testimony of my love and the sealed pardon oâ— your sins and a sealed gift of life eternal so be it you unfeignedly consent unto my Covenant and give up your selves to me â—â— my redeemed ones Even as in delivering the possession of House or Lands the deliverer giveth a Key and a Twig and a Turf and saith I deliver you this house and I deliver you this Land So doth the Minister by Christ's Authority deliver you Christ and pardon and title to eternal life Here is an Image of a sacrificed Christ of Gods own appointing which you may lawfully use And more than an Image even an investing Instrument by which these highest mercies are solemnly delivered to you in the name of Christ Let your hearts therefore say with Ioy and Thankfulness with Faith and Love O matchless bounty of the eternal God! what a gift is this and unto what unworthy sinners and will God stoop so low to man and come so near him and thus reconcile his worthless enemies Will he freely pardon all that I have done and take me into his family and love and feed me with the flesh and blood of Christ I believe Lord help mine unbelief I humbly and thankfully accept thy gifts Open thou my heart that I may yet more joyfully and thankfully accept them Seeing God will glorifie his Love and mercy by such incomprehensible gifts as these behold Lord a wretch that needeth all this mercy And seeing it is the offer of thy Grace and Covenant my Soul doth gladly take thee for my God and Father for my Saviour and my Sanctifier And here I give my up self unto thee as thy Created Redeemed and I hope Regenerate one as thy Own thy Subject and thy Child to be saved and Sanctified by thee to be beloved by thee and to Love thee to everlasting O seal up this Covenant and pardon by the Spirit which thou sealest and deliverest to me in thy Sacrament that without reserve I may be entirely and for ever thine 9. When you see the Communicants receiving with you let your very hearts be united to the Saints in love and say How goodly are thy Tents O Jacob How amiable is the Family of the Lord How good and pleasant is the unity of Bretheren How dear to me are the pretious numbers of my Lord though they have yet all their spots and weaknesses which he pardoneth and so must we My goodness O Lord extendeth not unto thee but unto thy Saints the excellent ones on earth in whom is my delight What portion of my estate thou requirest I willingly give unto the poor and if I have wronged any man I am willing to restore it And seeing thou hast â—â—oved me an enemy and forgiven me so great a debt I heartily forgive those that have done me wrong and love my enemies O keep me in thy Family all my days for â— day in thy Court is better than a Thousand and the door-keepers in thy house are happier than the most prosperous of the wicked Numb 24. 5. Psal 133. 15. 4. 16. 2 3. Luke 19. 8. Psal 84. 10. 10. When the Minister returneth Thanks and Praise to God stir up your Souls to the greatest alacrity and suppose you saw the Heavenly Hosts of Saints and Angels praising the same God in the presence of his Glory and think with your selves that you belong to the same Family and society as they and are learning their work and must shortly arrive at their perfection Strive therefore to imitate them in Love and Joy and let your very souls be poured out in Praises and Thanksgiving And when you have the next â—iesure for your private thoughts as when the Minister is exhorting you to your duty exercise your love and thanks and Faith and hope and self-denyal and Resolution for future obedience in some such breathings of your Souls as these O my gracious God thou hast surpassed all humane comprehension in thy Love Is this thy usage of unworthy prodigals I feared lest thy wrath as a consuming fire would have devoured such a guilty Soul and thou wouldest have charged upon me all my folly But while I condemned my self thou hast forgiven justified me and surprized me with the sweetest embracements of thy love I see now that thy thoughts are above our thoughts and thy ways above our ways and thy love excelleth the love of man even more than the Heavens are above the earth With how dear a price hast thou Redeemed a wretch that deserved thy everlasting vengeance with how pretious and sweet a Feast hast thou entertained me who deserved to be cast out with
hear to my confusion Depart from me I know thee not thou worker of iniquity Thou mayest justly tell me thou hast no pleasure in me nor wilt receive an Offering at my hand But with thee there is abundant mercy And my Advocate Jesus Christ the Righteous is the Propitiation for my sins who bare them in his Body on the Cross and made himself an Offering for them that he might put them away by the Sacrifice of himself have mercy upon me and wash me in his blood cloath me with his Righteousness take away my iniquities and let them not be my ruine forgive them and remember them no more O thou that delightest not in the death of sinners heal my back-slidings love me freely and say unto my soul that thou art my salvation Thou wilt in no wise cast out them that come unto thee receive me graciously to the Feast thou hast prepared for me cause me to hunger and thirst after Christ and his Righteousness that I may be satisfied Let his flesh and blood be to me meat and drink indeed and his Spirit be in me a well of living water springing up to everlasting life Give me to know thy Love in Christ which passeth knowledge Though I have not seen him let me love him And though now I see him not yet believing let me rejoyce with joy unspeakable and full of glory though I am unworthy of the crumbs that fall from thy Table yet feed me with the Bread of Life and speak and seal up Peace to my sinful wounded soul Soften my heart that is hardened by the deceitfulness of sin mortifie the flesh and strengthen me with might in the inward man that I may live and glorifie thy Grace through Jesus Christ our only Saviour In whose words I conclude saying Our Father c.
