A47326 Convivium cœleste a plain and familiar discourse concerning the Lords Supper, shewing at once the nature of that sacrament : as also the right way of preparing our selves for the receiving of it : in which are also considered those exceptions which men usually bring to excuse their not partaking of it. Kidder, Richard, 1633-1703. 1684 (1684) Wing K401; ESTC R218778 114,952 274

whatever_o the_o sinner_n may_v plead_v for_o himself_o certain_a it_o be_v a_o man_n may_v as_o easy_o bless_v god_n as_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a to_o speak_v well_o of_o our_o neighbour_n be_v as_o soon_o do_v as_o to_o speak_v amiss_o a_o good_a word_n cost_v we_o no_o more_o pain_n than_o a_o bad_a one_o and_o what_o wretched_a sinner_n be_v we_o who_o choose_v to_o do_v amiss_o when_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o we_o to_o do_v well_o and_o certain_o so_o it_o be_v in_o many_o case_n 9_o another_o aggravation_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v when_o we_o have_v not_o only_o sin_v

search_v into_o our_o heart_n and_o life_n whether_o we_o have_v not_o by_o our_o counsel_n or_o example_n by_o our_o neglect_n and_o unfaithfulness_n cause_v other_o to_o go_v astray_o who_o may_v

when_o it_o be_v come_v to_o a_o habit_n or_o custom_n and_o this_o do_v still_o make_v our_o sin_n the_o great_a for_o now_o our_o sin_n be_v grow_v up_o to_o a_o full_a measure_n and_o to_o the_o high_a stature_n and_o pitch_n and_o then_o we_o may_v well_o reckon_v ourselves_o to_o be_v not_o only_a sinner_n but_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n it_o be_v very_o advisable_v that_o we_o shall_v consider_v of_o these_o agrravation_n of_o our_o sin_n in_o order_n to_o the_o more_o full_a humiliation_n of_o our_o soul_n before_o god_n it_o be_v very_o needful_a that_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v great_o increase_v our_o guilt_n shall_v be_v particular_o confess_v and_o lament_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n now_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o the_o particular_a abovenamed_a do_v very_o much_o heighten_v and_o increase_v our_o guilt_n indeed_o every_o sinner_n do_v transgress_v the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o law_n which_o be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a for_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n but_o then_o he_o that_o sin_n against_o the_o clear_a dictate_v of_o his_o own_o conscience_n also_o contract_v a_o double_a guilt_n he_o that_o sin_n after_o his_o solemn_a vow_n of_o obedience_n add_v treachery_n to_o his_o other_o guilt_n and_o he_o that_o sin_n after_o many_o mercy_n add_v ingratitude_n to_o his_o other_o sin_n every_o sin_n make_v we_o obnoxious_a to_o god_n displeasure_n but_o yet_o be_v there_o many_o degree_n in_o our_o sin_n which_o do_v great_o aggravate_v our_o fault_n and_o introduce_v a_o new_a and_o great_a guilt_n upon_o we_o and_o certain_o to_o abound_v in_o sin_n under_o the_o great_a mean_n of_o grace_n to_o continue_v in_o our_o folly_n when_o the_o rod_n of_o god_n lie_v heavy_a upon_o we_o to_o commit_v the_o sin_n which_o it_o be_v so_o very_o easy_a to_o avoid_v to_o repeat_v our_o sin_n when_o we_o have_v confess_v and_o bewail_v it_o to_o sin_n and_o to_o cause_v other_o to_o sin_n also_o to_o contract_v habit_n and_o custom_n of_o evil_n do_v these_o be_v thing_n which_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v forget_v in_o our_o search_n because_o they_o do_v import_v so_o much_o of_o guilt_n and_o so_o great_a a_o degree_n of_o wickedness_n but_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v be_v but_o relative_a to_o something_o else_o we_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v find_v out_o our_o sin_n the_o jew_n be_v not_o only_o oblige_v to_o search_v for_o their_o leaven_n at_o the_o passover_n but_o also_o to_o purge_v it_o out_o and_o their_o search_n be_v in_o order_n to_o their_o put_v it_o away_o they_o may_v not_o leave_v it_o where_o they_o find_v it_o but_o be_v oblige_v to_o put_v it_o from_o they_o we_o must_v do_v so_o by_o our_o sin_n too_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v now_o consider_v what_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o do_v in_o the_o next_o place_n chap._n vi_o when_o we_o be_v go_v thus_o far_o and_o have_v find_v out_o our_o sin_n we_o must_v then_o put_v they_o away_o by_o a_o true_a and_o hearty_a repentance_n unless_o we_o do_v this_o we_o shall_v eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o ourselves_o now_o because_o though_o repentance_n be_v very_o common_o pretend_v to_o yet_o we_o do_v often_o mistake_v ourselves_o in_o it_o and_o take_v that_o for_o it_o which_o come_v far_o short_a of_o it_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a we_o shall_v examine_v our_o repentance_n and_o very_o careful_o try_v whether_o it_o be_v such_o as_o be_v never_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o for_o as_o it_o be_v very_o common_a with_o man_n to_o think_v they_o have_v not_o sin_v when_o they_o have_v so_o it_o be_v very_o common_a with_o man_n to_o think_v they_o have_v not_o sin_v when_o they_o have_v so_o it_o be_v also_o as_o usual_a a_o thing_n with_o they_o to_o conceit_n that_o they_o have_v repent_v when_o indeed_o they_o have_v not_o for_o we_o be_v too_o apt_a to_o think_v repentance_n no_o more_o but_o a_o call_n to_o god_n for_o mercy_n or_o a_o general_a confession_n that_o we_o be_v sinner_n or_o some_o sudden_a purpose_n of_o amendment_n of_o life_n or_o at_o most_o the_o actual_a abstain_v from_o

again_o his_o sorrow_n be_v very_o hearty_a and_o unfeigned_a he_o be_v grieve_v in_o earnest_n and_o his_o grief_n be_v great_a according_a to_o the_o measure_n and_o proportion_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o folly_n he_o be_v vile_a and_o base_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n and_o be_v great_o afflict_v for_o his_o wickedness_n indeed_o the_o sincerity_n of_o his_o sorrow_n be_v not_o altogether_o to_o be_v measure_v by_o his_o tear_n which_o he_o shed_v for_o though_o tear_n be_v repute_v the_o expression_n of_o our_o grief_n yet_o be_v they_o but_o the_o expression_n of_o it_o grief_n do_v many_o time_n break_v out_o this_o way_n but_o yet_o a_o man_n may_v be_v great_o forrowful_a when_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o grief_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o tear_n some_o there_o be_v who_o do_v easy_o weep_v a_o very_a trifle_a matter_n will_v draw_v forth_o plenty_n of_o tear_n but_o there_o be_v other_o who_o grieve_v more_o and_o yet_o weep_v less_o but_o than_o

certain_o we_o may_v well_o suspect_v ourselves_o when_o we_o can_v find_v none_o at_o all_o for_o our_o heinous_a offence_n against_o god_n for_o it_o may_v be_v reasonable_o think_v that_o if_o our_o grief_n be_v hearty_a and_o pungent_a which_o we_o have_v for_o our_o sin_n it_o will_v break_v out_o at_o the_o same_o vent_n which_o it_o be_v wont_a to_o find_v upon_o all_o other_o

real_a grief_n be_v not_o the_o less_o though_o he_o do_v not_o weep_v so_o plentiful_o yet_o he_o grieve_v as_o hearty_o as_o he_o that_o do_v he_o do_v afflict_v himself_o for_o his_o sin_n he_o judge_n and_o condemn_v himself_o and_o feel_v as_o much_o pain_n in_o his_o soul_n and_o as_o cordial_a a_o sorrow_n as_o he_o that_o weep_v bitter_o 2._o he_o that_o true_o repent_v do_v confess_v
