can_v live_v without_o his_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o so_o for_o the_o soul_n to_o have_v such_o a_o disposition_n after_o christ_n this_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n but_o know_v that_o god_n name_n be_v not_o sanctify_v unless_o thou_o do_v come_v in_o such_o a_o way_n unto_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n that_o be_v the_o four_o thing_n hungry_a and_o thirsty_a desire_n after_o christ_n from_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o the_o need_n of_o he_o and_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o excellency_n in_o he_o 5._o in_o the_o five_o place_n there_o must_v be_v a_o exercise_n of_o faith_n for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n here_o faith_n that_o be_v both_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o mouth_n for_o the_o take_n of_o this_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o spiritual_a drink_n when_o thou_o come_v to_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o lord_n faith_n first_o be_v the_o eye_n and_o then_o the_o hand_n and_o mouth_n it_o be_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o give_v a_o real_a sight_n of_o what_o there_o be_v here_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o discern_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n if_o thou_o come_v only_o with_o bodily_a eye_n to_o look_v upon_o what_o be_v here_o thou_o see_v nothing_o but_o a_o little_a bread_n and_o wine_n but_o now_o where_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n be_v there_o be_v a_o real_a appearance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o soul_n as_o if_o christ_n be_v bodily_a present_n and_o we_o need_v not_o have_v the_o bread_n turn_v into_o his_o body_n for_o faith_n can_v see_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n through_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n gush_v in_o the_o wine_n and_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a thing_n to_o have_v christ_n and_o such_o spiritual_a thing_n make_v real_a and_o not_o to_o be_v a_o fancy_n if_o one_o look_v upon_o the_o fire_n that_o be_v paint_v one_o can_v heat_v one_o self_n in_o cold_a weather_n with_o that_o but_o fire_n that_o be_v real_o burn_v upon_o the_o hearth_n so_o those_o that_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o not_o come_v with_o faith_n that_o have_v only_o the_o eye_n of_o their_o body_n they_o only_o see_v as_o it_o be_v a_o paint_a christ_n they_o do_v not_o see_v christ_n real_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o those_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o present_v as_o real_a thing_n to_o their_o soul_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o go_v away_o and_o get_v nothing_o but_o now_o when_o the_o soul_n come_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n the_o soul_n see_v the_o wonderful_a thing_n of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o most_o glorious_a sight_n in_o the_o world_n all_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v not_o like_o this_o sight_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o do_v appear_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n therefore_o you_o may_v by_o this_o know_v whether_o you_o have_v come_v with_o faith_n or_o no_o to_o the_o sacrament_n whether_o you_o have_v see_v the_o most_o glorious_a sight_n that_o ever_o your_o eye_n do_v behold_v alas_o with_o our_o natural_a eye_n we_o behold_v a_o minister_n come_v with_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n and_o a_o little_a wine_n but_o when_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n be_v open_v than_o we_o behold_v the_o glorious_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n many_o time_n when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n your_o heart_n burn_v within_o you_o as_o they_o that_o go_v to_o emaus_n but_o when_o you_o be_v break_v bread_n the_o eye_n of_o faith_n that_o must_v look_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n those_o that_o have_v pierce_v christ_n must_v look_v upon_o he_o that_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v in_o zach._n 12._o latter_a end_n they_o shall_v look_v on_o he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v by_o their_o sin_n and_o then_o mourn_v and_o lament_v this_o eye_n of_o faith_n will_v cause_v mourning_n and_o lament_v for_o sin_n and_o then_o as_o faith_n be_v the_o eye_n to_o make_v what_o be_v here_o real_a so_o faith_n be_v the_o hand_n to_o take_v it_o when_o you_o come_v to_o a_o feast_n you_o must_v have_v something_o to_o take_v the_o meat_n to_o you_o so_o say_v christ_n he_o break_v bread_n and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n say_v take_v eat_v this_o take_v it_o how_o shall_v we_o take_v it_o by_o reach_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n if_o you_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o this_o ordinance_n as_o you_o reach_v out_o your_o hand_n to_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o actual_a reach_v out_o of_o the_o soul_n by_o faith_n put_v forth_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n to_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n unto_o the_o soul_n to_o apply_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o thy_o soul_n with_o all_o his_o merit_n and_o good_a thing_n that_o he_o have_v purchase_v when_o the_o minister_n do_v give_v out_o that_o ordinance_n you_o shall_v look_v upon_o god_n the_o father_n give_v out_o his_o son_n as_o if_o this_o be_v your_o condition_n i_o be_o now_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o eternal_a father_n who_o now_o do_v actual_o give_v out_o his_o son_n to_o my_o soul_n and_o say_v soul_n here_o receive_v anew_o this_o day_n my_o son_n with_o all_o that_o he_o have_v purchase_v for_o thy_o good_a now_o than_o the_o soul_n act_v upon_o this_o and_o by_o stir_v up_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n come_v and_o close_v with_o this_o gift_n of_o the_o father_n and_o cast_v its_o self_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o say_v as_o it_o be_v amen_o to_o what_o the_o father_n give_v oh_o lord_n here_o i_o come_v and_o embrace_v thy_o son_n as_o my_o life_n as_o my_o saviour_n as_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o my_o good_a in_o who_o i_o expect_v all_o the_o good_a i_o be_o like_a to_o have_v either_o here_o or_o to_o all_o eternity_n so_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o stir_v up_o of_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n in_o a_o actual_a take_n of_o christ_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o believer_n can_v thou_o remember_v what_o thou_o do_v when_o first_o thou_o do_v take_v jesus_n christ_n when_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o his_o word_n do_v reveal_v jesus_n christ_n to_o thy_o soul_n what_o do_v thou_o then_o oh_o soul_n how_o do_v thy_o soul_n work_v in_o close_v with_o christ_n as_o thy_o soul_n do_v then_o in_o close_v with_o christ_n so_o it_o must_v now_o renew_v the_o work_n there_o must_v be_v a_o renewall_n of_o the_o work_n at_o that_o time_n so_o that_o when_o you_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o it_o be_v then_o a_o time_n to_o listen_v to_o doubt_n fear_n and_o scruple_n no_o but_o it_o be_v a_o time_n that_o god_n call_v for_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n the_o cast_n of_o the_o soul_n upon_o christ_n and_o his_o merit_n for_o life_n and_o for_o salvation_n or_o else_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v not_o sanctify_v as_o it_o ought_v thou_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n when_o thou_o be_v busy_v thy_o foul_a in_o doubt_n and_o scruple_n in_o thy_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o then_o faith_n be_v as_o the_o mouth_n when_o thou_o come_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v how_o can_v thou_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o a_o mouth_n thou_o have_v a_o bodily_a month_n to_o take_v in_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o know_v that_o without_o faith_n thy_o soul_n can_v take_v in_o christ_n faith_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o mouth_n that_o be_v by_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n the_o soul_n do_v open_v itself_o for_o jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o only_o open_v itself_o but_o take_v in_o christ_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o make_v christ_n and_o the_o soul_n as_o one_o as_o our_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v make_v one_o with_o our_o body_n so_o faith_n take_v in_o christ_n and_o make_v he_o as_o one_o with_o thou_o and_o turn_v christ_n into_o the_o nourishment_n of_o thy_o foul_a and_o thou_o and_o christ_n by_o faith_n be_v make_v as_o true_o one_o as_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o be_v put_v into_o thy_o body_n be_v make_v one_o with_o thy_o body_n this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n without_o which_o we_o can_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n six_o there_o must_v be_v spiritual_a joy_n that_o must_v be_v exercise_v here_o for_o it_o be_v a_o feast_n here_o we_o come_v to_o sit_v with_o christ_n at_o his_o table_n we_o come_v as_o child_n to_o our_o father_n table_n and_o to_o sit_v there_o with_o jesus_n christ_n our_o elder_a brother_n now_o as_o a_o father_n do_v not_o love_n to_o have_v his_o child_n set_v in_o a_o sullen_a and_o dogged_a way_n at_o his_o table_n or_o to_o be_v cry_v but_o he_o will_v have_v the_o child_n set_v in_o comfort_n
now_o when_o it_o be_v mere_o out_o of_o love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n that_o i_o may_v have_v more_o edification_n to_o my_o soul_n and_o still_o i_o retain_v love_n to_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v there_o as_o they_o be_v in_o a_o communion_n and_o so_o far_o as_o they_o have_v any_o thing_n good_a among_o they_o i_o hold_v communion_n with_o they_o in_o that_o only_o i_o desire_v in_o humility_n and_o in_o meekness_n that_o i_o may_v be_v in_o such_o a_o place_n where_o my_o soul_n may_v be_v most_o edify_v where_o i_o may_v enjoy_v all_o those_o ordinance_n that_o christ_n have_v appoint_v for_o his_o church_n certain_o that_o soul_n that_o can_v give_v this_o account_n to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o go_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o will_v be_v free_v by_o jesus_n christ_n from_o such_o a_o sin_n as_o this_o that_o the_o world_n call_v schism_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o word_n be_v in_o man_n mouth_n that_o understand_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v and_o the_o devil_n always_o will_v have_v some_o word_n or_o other_o cast_v upon_o they_o that_o be_v good_a for_o he_o have_v heretofore_o gain_v much_o by_o it_o so_o still_o he_o make_v account_n to_o gain_v much_o by_o word_n and_o term_n and_o therefore_o man_n shall_v take_v heed_n of_o word_n and_o term_n that_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v and_o examine_v serious_o what_o the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n and_o what_o be_v hold_v forth_o in_o those_o word_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o that_o point_n that_o it_o must_v be_v in_o a_o holy_a communion_n wherever_o there_o be_v the_o

the_o holy_a qualification_n or_o disposition_n of_o the_o soul_n together_o with_o the_o act_n fit_a in_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n what_o be_v require_v in_o the_o soul_n for_o

when_o i_o come_v to_o receive_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n knowledge_n apply_v to_o the_o work_n that_o i_o be_o about_o when_o some_o of_o you_o have_v come_v to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n if_o

that_o power_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n for_o sin_n as_o the_o behold_n of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v behold_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o that_o heart_n be_v a_o hard_a heart_n that_o can_v see_v what_o be_v there_o to_o be_v see_v and_o not_o break_v in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o sin_n when_o i_o here_o see_v what_o my_o sin_n cost_n what_o a_o price_n be_v make_v for_o my_o

the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n for_o my_o sin_n i_o see_v here_o that_o the_o make_n of_o my_o peace_n which_o god_n do_v cost_v more_o than_o ten_o thousand_o world_n be_v worth_a i_o see_v that_o by_o my_o sin_n such_o a_o breach_n be_v make_v between_o god_n and_o my_o soul_n that_o all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v never_o make_v up_o this_o breach_n only_o the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o that_o be_v god_n and_o man_n that_o be_v thus_o break_v by_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o his_o father_n for_o my_o sin_n can_v do_v this_o the_o truth_n be_v when_o we_o come_v to_o this_o holy_a communion_n we_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o christ_n as_o if_o we_o see_v he_o hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n suppose_v thou_o have_v live_v at_o the_o time_n when_o christ_n be_v crucify_v and_o have_v understand_v as_o much_o concern_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o now_o thou_o do_v and_o what_o christ_n be_v if_o so_o be_v that_o thou_o shall_v have_v behold_v he_o in_o the_o garden_n and_o there_o sweat_a drop_n of_o water_n and_o blood_n and_o lie_v grovel_v upon_o the_o ground_n cry_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o

hear_v he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o will_v not_o such_o a_o sight_n as_o this_o be_v have_v break_v thy_o heart_n for_o thy_o sin_n the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v more_o i_o will_v say_v only_o so_o much_o but_o i_o say_v there_o be_v more_o in_o this_o sacrament_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n for_o sin_n then_o such_o a_o sight_n as_o that_o you_o will_v say_v if_o you_o shall_v have_v christ_n to_o be_v crucify_v again_o before_o your_o eye_n if_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o there_o behold_v he_o crucify_v and_o hear_v of_o he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o you_o will_v think_v if_o your_o heart_n do_v not_o break_v for_o sin_n then_o that_o they_o be_v desperate_o hard_a know_v every_o time_n that_o thou_o have_v come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n thou_o have_v come_v to_o see_v such_o a_o fight_n and_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o thy_o heart_n if_o it_o have_v not_o break_v at_o this_o sight_n as_o it_o will_v be_v if_o it_o shall_v not_o break_v at_o that_o fight_n we_o read_v in_o gal._n 3._o 1._o of_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v crucify_v before_o those_o that_o do_v hear_v the_o word_n and_o foolish_a galatian_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o obey_v the_o truth_n before_o who_o eye_n jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v evident_o set_v forth_o crucify_v among_o you_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o christ_n be_v crucify_v in_o galatia_n but_o that_o where_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v he_o be_v evident_o set_v forth_o and_o crucify_v among_o they_o but_o now_o my_o brethren_n the_o crucify_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o word_n be_v not_o such_o a_o real_a evident_a and_o sensible_a set_n forth_o of_o christ_n crucify_v as_o when_o he_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o work_v with_o more_o efficacy_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n then_o that_o other_o sight_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v be_v this_o because_o you_o do_v never_o find_v that_o god_n do_v set_v that_o apart_o as_o a_o ordinance_n a_o institution_n appoint_v to_o that_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o look_v upon_o that_o for_o the_o break_n of_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o naturalnesse_n in_o it_o that_o if_o they_o do_v behold_v christ_n it_o may_v break_v their_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o ordinance_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n as_o this_o be_v now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o sacramental_a way_n in_o the_o use_n of_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o suffering_n and_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o soul_n there_o may_v be_v expect_v here_o a_o further_a blessing_n then_o in_o the_o other_o though_o its_o true_a the_o other_o may_v work_v mighty_o upon_o the_o heart_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o great_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n a_o great_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o set_n out_o of_o his_o suffering_n it_o have_v a_o more_o special_a blessing_n that_o go_v along_o with_o it_o every_o ordinance_n have_v a_o promise_n and_o a_o more_o special_a blessing_n then_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n so_o when_o you_o come_v here_o to_o behold_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o you_o can_v see_v christ_n natural_o crucify_v as_o upon_o the_o cross_n but_o you_o have_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o sacrament_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o solemn_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v a_o special_a blessing_n which_o go_v along_o with_o it_o therefore_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o break_v here_o there_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o great_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v behold_v jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o our_o heart_n not_o break_v there_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o special_a reason_n why_o those_o be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o receive_v unworthy_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v then_o alive_a and_o have_v be_v before_o the_o cross_n and_o there_o have_v see_v how_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v shed_v for_o sin_n and_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v affect_v with_o it_o but_o shall_v have_v account_v it_o as_o a_o common_a thing_n this_o man_n in_o some_o regard_n may_v have_v be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o his_o death_n that_o be_v to_o have_v join_v and_o consent_v with_o those_o that_o do_v crucify_v he_o for_o if_o a_o man_n see_v another_o commit_v a_o sin_n if_o he_o be_v not_o affect_v with_o that_o sin_n and_o it_o do_v not_o stir_v his_o heart_n he_o may_v come_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o sin_n so_o those_o that_o shall_v come_v to_o see_v jesus_n christ_n crucify_v and_o have_v not_o their_o heart_n at_o all_o stir_v with_o the_o crucify_a of_o christ_n they_o be_v in_o some_o regard_n true_o say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n brokennesse_n of_o spirit_n be_v suitable_a to_o the_o light_n of_o a_o break_a christ_n 3._o the_o three_o thing_n that_o be_v here_o to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n be_v the_o purge_n and_o cleanse_v of_o the_o heart_n from_o sin_n a_o actual_a cleanse_n and_o purge_v the_o heart_n from_o sin_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o jew_n in_o their_o passeover_n be_v to_o cast_v out_o all_o leaven_n and_o those_o that_o write_v of_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n say_v that_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v three_o thing_n in_o the_o cast_n out_o of_o their_o leven_n 1._o they_o make_v diligent_a search_n for_o leaven_n they_o light_v candle_n to_o look_v into_o every_o corner_n lest_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o bit_n of_o leaven_n leave_v in_o the_o house_n 2._o when_o they_o find_v it_o they_o cast_v it_o out_o 3._o they_o use_v a_o execration_n they_o do_v curse_v themselves_o if_o they_o shall_v willing_o keep_v any_o leaven_n in_o the_o house_n so_o my_o brethren_n when_o we_o come_v to_o partake_v of_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o diligent_a inquisition_n for_o

compare_v to_o leaven_v thou_o shall_v make_v a_o diligent_a search_n what_o sin_n there_o be_v in_o thy_o heart_n in_o any_o of_o the_o faculty_n of_o thy_o soul_n what_o sin_n there_o be_v in_o thy_o thought_n in_o thy_o conscience_n in_o thy_o understanding_n in_o thy_o will_n in_o any_o of_o thy_o affection_n what_o sin_n there_o have_v be_v in_o thy_o life_n what_o family_n sin_n what_o

to_o find_v out_o in_o thy_o heart_n there_o must_v be_v a_o cast_n of_o it_o out_o that_o be_v thy_o soul_n must_v be_v set_v against_o it_o to_o oppose_v it_o with_o all_o thy_o might_n whatever_o

be_v thus_o lord_n as_o ever_o i_o expect_v to_o receive_v any_o good_a by_o this_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o i_o come_v now_o to_o receive_v so_o lord_n here_o i_o profess_v against_o every_o sin_n that_o i_o have_v find_v out_o in_o my_o heart_n i_o desire_v to_o find_v out_o all_o and_o profess_v against_o all_o and_o renounce_v all_o and_o will_v do_v to_o the_o uttermost_a that_o i_o be_o able_a for_o deliver_v of_o my_o soul_n full_o from_o every_o know_a or_o belove_a sin_n oh_o that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o remain_v in_o my_o heart_n this_o must_v be_v the_o

disposition_n unto_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o we_o come_v here_o to_o profess_v that_o we_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o sin_n do_v cost_v so_o much_o as_o it_o do_v that_o it_o cost_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o this_o can_v choose_v but_o cause_n the_o heart_n to_o renounce_v sin_n if_o indeed_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o sin_n have_v cost_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o cost_v he_o so_o dear_a as_o it_o do_v that_o it_o do_v trouble_v heaven_n and_o earth_n that_o there_o must_v be_v such_o a_o mighty_a wonderful_a way_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o god_n for_o my_o sin_n commit_v against_o he_o certain_o sin_n have_v a_o dreadful_a evil_n in_o it_o oh_o let_v i_o never_o have_v to_o do_v with_o such_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o such_o suffering_n to_o my_o saviour_n that_o do_v shed_v his_o blood_n if_o so_o be_v that_o thou_o see_v a_o knife_n that_o have_v cut_v the_o throat_n of_o thy_o dear_a child_n will_v not_o thy_o

sin_n for_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n i_o remember_v it_o be_v report_v of_o anthony_n when_o caesar_n be_v slay_v he_o come_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n against_o those_o that_o have_v slay_v caesar_n and_o he_o take_v the_o clothes_n that_o be_v bloody_a and_o hold_v they_o forth_o to_o the_o people_n and_o say_v here_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o your_o

that_o cause_v this_o sure_o the_o put_v away_o sin_n the_o rise_n of_o the_o heart_n against_o sin_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o disposition_n suitable_a to_o such_o a_o ordinance_n as_o this_o be_v

the_o four_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n here_o it_o be_v the_o hunger_a and_o thirst_v of_o the_o soul_n after_o jesus_n christ_n whosoever_o come_v

that_o i_o may_v have_v more_o of_o christ_n that_o i_o may_v meet_v with_o christ_n that_o i_o may_v have_v some_o further_a manifestation_n with_o jesus_n christ_n that_o i_o may_v have_v my_o

have_v be_v sweet_a unto_o i_o but_o i_o expect_v a_o further_a communion_n of_o christ_n here_o for_o this_o be_v the_o grand_a ordinance_n for_o communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n in_o deed_n the_o

when_o they_o can_v get_v plum_n and_o pear_n and_o fill_v their_o stomach_n with_o they_o when_o they_o come_v to_o your_o table_n though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o much_o wholesome_a diet_n they_o

hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o they_o come_v to_o such_o a_o great_a ordinance_n to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n that_o then_o they_o feel_v no_o want_n at_o all_o of_o christ_n

and_o with_o a_o holy_a cheerfulness_n with_o a_o holy_a freedom_n of_o spirit_n not_o in_o a_o sullen_a way_n but_o as_o a_o child_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o father_n and_o not_o as_o a_o

when_o you_o have_v come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n have_v you_o actual_o renew_v your_o covenant_n with_o god_n you_o that_o have_v take_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n have_v you_o give_v up_o your_o body_n to_o christ_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n then_o that_o you_o sin_n so_o much_o with_o your_o body_n that_o you_o abuse_v your_o body_n with_o uncleanness_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o

to_o god_n in_o way_n of_o covenant_n nine_o in_o the_o last_o place_n for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n there_o be_v require_v a_o renew_n of_o love_n the_o come_n with_o lovely_a

to_o we_o certain_o my_o brethren_n these_o thing_n be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o i_o have_v deliver_v and_o so_o far_o as_o you_o have_v be_v want_v in_o any_o of_o these_o know_v so_o far_o you_o have_v take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a in_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n you_o have_v not_o be_v worthy_a receiver_n of_o this_o sacrament_n you_o have_v cause_n to_o look_v back_o to_o your_o

the_o lamb_n that_o be_v slay_v he_o be_v find_v worthy_a to_o open_v the_o book_n so_o i_o say_v thy_o condemnation_n be_v seal_v up_o with_o many_o seal_n and_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n that_o be_v able_a to_o cancel_v these_o seal_n only_o the_o lamb_n jesus_n christ_n yea_o that_o christ_n who_o blood_n thou_o have_v shed_v and_o be_v guilty_a of_o only_o he_o be_v worthy_a and_o he_o

of_o some_o thing_n in_o the_o word_n that_o come_v close_o to_o their_o heart_n remember_v when_o you_o be_v a_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n that_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v above_o you_o and_o it_o

that_o action_n be_v a_o do_v meditation_n 1._o as_o first_o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n salvation_n it_o be_v by_o a_o mediator_n it_o be_v not_o only_o by_o god_n mercy_n god_n say_v that_o he_o be_v offend_v by_o sin_n but_o he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o pass_v it_o by_o no_o but_o it_o be_v through_o a_o mediator_n now_o this_o meditation_n be_v suggest_v thus_o when_o i_o see_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n if_o i_o disceren_fw-mi what_o that_o signifyes_n it_o will_v hold_v forth_o this_o to_o i_o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n salvation_n it_o be_v not_o mere_o from_o hence_o that_o

through_o a_o mediator_n med._n 2._o the_o second_o meditation_n be_v this_o that_o this_o mediator_n that_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o we_o be_v very_o and_o true_o man_n he_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o the_o bread_n that_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o wine_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v of_o the_o humane_a

the_o pour_v forth_o of_o his_o blood_n this_o be_v a_o useful_a meditation_n oh_o what_o shall_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o jesus_n christ_n in_o our_o body_n even_o to_o resist_v unto_o

here_o we_o come_v to_o see_v we_o have_v occasion_n of_o meditate_v of_o that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o we_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n save_v it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n they_o crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o scripture_n phrase_n we_o shall_v consider_v when_o we_o see_v the_o wine_n pour_v out_o and_o so_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o blood_n who_o blood_n and_o who_o body_n be_v this_o it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o be_v true_o god_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n this_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v very_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o be_v think_v of_o when_o we_o see_v the_o body_n break_v and_o the_o blood_n pour_v out_o what_o will_v the_o break_n of_o the_o body_n and_o shed_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o mere_a creature_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v peace_n between_o god_n and_o man_n sure_o no_o therefore_o you_o must_v meditate_v who_o body_n this_o be_v and_o who_o blood_n this_o be_v it_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o be_v god_n it_o be_v true_a god_n have_v no_o body_n nor_o no_o blood_n but_o the_o same_o person_n that_o
