over_o nine_o common-place_n head_n and_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v enlarge_v in_o every_o particular_a about_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o sin_n now_o i_o will_v proceed_v further_o in_o this_o instance_n and_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o these_o particular_n to_o get_v your_o affection_n raise_v and_o warm_v and_o stir_v up_o to_o more_o holiness_n after_o that_o i_o have_v traverse_v all_o the_o head_n of_o reason_n and_o have_v consider_v the_o description_n the_o distribution_n cause_n and_o effect_n of_o sin_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o

my_o heart_n in_o a_o mourn_a frame_n and_o i_o will_v thus_o say_v to_o myself_o oh_o my_o soul_n be_v sin_n so_o odious_a to_o god_n that_o no_o sacrifice_n but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n can_v appease_v god_n wrath_n and_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v odious_a to_o i_o be_v sin_n so_o displease_v unto_o god_n and_o so_o defile_v to_o the_o soul_n that_o no_o bath_n but_o a_o bath_n of_o christ_n blood_n can_v wash_v away_o the_o stain_n of_o it_o and_o shall_v i_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o that_o sin_n that_o cost_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v sin_n a_o burden_n to_o christ_n and_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o i_o thus_o i_o will_v reason_v with_o myself_o do_v sin_n make_v christ_n shed_v drop_n of_o blood_n and_o shall_v it_o not_o make_v i_o shed_v a_o few_o tear_n do_v christ_n cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o for_o our_o sin_n i_o mean_v for_o our_o sin_n he_o take_v upon_o he_o and_o shall_v i_o make_v a_o sport_n of_o sin_n shall_v i_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o sin_n do_v david_n complain_v that_o his_o sin_n be_v a_o burden_n too_o heavy_a for_o he_o to_o bear_v and_o do_v paul_n cry_v out_o oh_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o shall_v not_o sin_n be_v bitter_a to_o i_o shall_v not_o i_o mourn_v that_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o so_o gracious_a a_o god_n so_o merciful_a a_o redeemer_n so_o holy_a a_o sanctifier_n 2._o i_o will_v proceed_v to_o the_o second_o and_o begin_v to_o complain_v of_o the_o hardness_n of_o my_o heart_n and_o of_o my_o unaffectedness_n with_o the_o sin_n i_o be_o guilty_a of_o and_o i_o will_v thus_o say_v to_o my_o soul_n oh_o my_o soul_n how_o be_v it_o that_o thou_o can_v mourn_v for_o any_o outward_a loss_n if_o thou_o lose_v but_o a_o child_n though_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v half_a a_o score_n if_o thou_o lose_v but_o one_o of_o they_o thou_o can_v mourn_v immoderate_o if_o thou_o lose_v thy_o wife_n thy_o husband_n any_o part_n of_o thy_o estate_n thou_o can_v mourn_v too_o much_o but_o thou_o have_v not_o one_o tear_n for_o thy_o sin_n how_o be_v it_o oh_o my_o soul_n that_o thou_o shall_v be_v thus_o hard-hearted_a and_o unaffected_a with_o thy_o sin_n be_v not_o sin_n deicidium_fw-la be_v not_o sin_v a_o murder_a of_o god_n in_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v be_v not_o sin_n animaecidium_fw-la that_o which_o slay_v the_o soul_n be_v not_o sin_v a_o dethron_n of_o god_n a_o rob_n of_o god_n a_o injure_v of_o god_n how_o be_v it_o then_o that_o i_o be_o no_o more_o affect_v with_o my_o sin_n how_o be_v it_o that_o after_o so_o many_o sermon_n so_o many_o sacrament_n so_o many_o year_n be_v in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n after_o so_o many_o mercy_n receive_v from_o god_n so_o many_o affliction_n the_o lord_n have_v inflict_v upon_o i_o yet_o my_o heart_n shall_v be_v so_o hard_a and_o so_o flinty_a and_o so_o stony_a i_o can_v easy_o hate_v my_o enemy_n too_o too_o soon_o which_o i_o shall_v not_o do_v but_o sin_n that_o be_v my_o great_a enemy_n i_o can_v hate_v that_o which_o i_o shall_v hate_v most_o of_o all_o i_o must_v love_v my_o outward_a enemy_n but_o god_n bid_v i_o hate_v my_o sin_n god_n do_v not_o bid_v i_o love_v the_o devil_n or_o the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n i_o can_v hate_v that_o which_o i_o shall_v love_v but_o i_o can_v hate_v that_o which_o i_o shall_v hate_v i_o can_v hate_v my_o sin_n 3._o i_o will_v proceed_v to_o stir_v up_o my_o affection_n to_o a_o passionate_a wish_n and_o i_o will_v say_v to_o my_o soul_n thus_o oh_o that_o my_o heart_n be_v more_o soft_a oh_o that_o i_o can_v mourn_v with_o a_o godly_a mourning_n not_o with_o a_o legal_a mourning_n but_o with_o a_o mourning_n that_o be_v out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n oh_o that_o i_o can_v mourn_v with_o repentance_n unto_o life_n with_o a_o gospel-sorrow_n for_o all_o my_o sin_n of_o omission_n commission_n my_o sacrament-sin_n my_o family-sin_n my_o closet-sin_n the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n the_o sin_n of_o my_o ripe_a age_n for_o all_o my_o unkindness_n against_o my_o god_n oh_o that_o my_o head_n be_v water_n and_o my_o eye_n a_o fountain_n of_o tear_n that_o i_o can_v mourn_v day_n and_o night_n for_o my_o sin_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o time_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o place_n wherein_o i_o live_v oh_o that_o river_n of_o tear_n will_v run_v down_o my_o eye_n because_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o my_o god_n thus_o will_v i_o wish_v and_o passionate_o express_v myself_o that_o so_o i_o may_v get_v my_o heart_n raise_v up_o oh_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v pour_v down_o the_o spirit_n of_o mourning_n upon_o i_o 4._o i_o will_v make_v a_o humble_a confession_n of_o my_o own_o inability_n to_o mourn_v and_o i_o will_v say_v thus_o o_o lord_n thou_o know_v it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n to_o direct_v his_o own_o way_n it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n to_o guide_v his_o own_o step_n i_o know_v oh_o lord_n that_o i_o be_o not_o able_a of_o myself_o to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o i_o to_o cleave_v a_o rock_n in_o piece_n than_o to_o cleave_v my_o rocky_a heart_n by_o my_o own_o strength_n there_o must_v be_v a_o almighty_a power_n to_o get_v my_o heart_n to_o be_v soft_a for_o my_o heart_n oh_o lord_n be_v hard_a than_o the_o nether_a millstone_n and_o i_o can_v soften_v it_o i_o will_v mourn_v that_o

from_o thy_o table_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o eat_v my_o daily_a bread_n much_o less_o worthy_a to_o eat_v the_o sacramental_a bread_n oh_o the_o thought_n of_o this_o will_v make_v you_o say_v with_o mephibosheth_n what_o be_o i_o a_o dead_a dog_n that_o my_o lord_n and_o king_n shall_v invite_v i_o to_o his_o table_n what_o be_o i_o dust_n and_o ash_n sinful_a wretch_n that_o the_o lord_n

get_v supply_v what_o sin_n do_v bear_v most_o sway_n in_o thou_o that_o thou_o may_v get_v it_o more_o mortify_v now_o the_o more_o sensible_a you_o be_v of_o your_o spiritual_a want_n the_o more_o will_v your_o appetite_n be_v quicken_v to_o this_o bless_a feast_n 7._o you_o must_v meditate_v of_o the_o curse_a condition_n of_o a_o unworthy_a receiver_n a_o unworthy_a receiver_n be_v a_o

we_o bless_v shall_v be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o you_o the_o communion_n of_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o heaven_n to_o thy_o soul._n it_o shall_v be_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o you_o and_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o the_o cup_n of_o salvation_n unto_o you_o 9_o i_o will_v have_v you_o meditate_v sometime_o of_o the_o sacramental_a element_n when_o you_o see_v the_o bread_n i_o will_v have_v you_o meditate_v of_o the_o analogy_n and_o proportion_n between_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n you_o know_v that_o bread_n be_v the_o staff_n of_o life_n so_o be_v christ_n the_o staff_n of_o a_o christian_a bread_n be_v not_o for_o dead_a folk_n but_o for_o live_a folk_n bread_n do_v not_o beget_v life_n but_o increase_v and_o strengthen_v life_n so_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o for_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n the_o sacrament_n do_v not_o beget_v grace_n but_o nourish_v and_o increase_v grace_n and_o then_o i_o will_v have_v you_o consider_v the_o analogy_n between_o wine_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o wine_n refresh_v the_o spirit_n and_o cheer_v the_o heart_n so_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cheer_v the_o soul_n of_o every_o worthy_a receiver_n 10._o i_o will_v have_v you_o meditate_v of_o the_o sacramental_a action_n for_o all_o the_o action_n of_o the_o minister_n at_o the_o sacrament_n be_v mystical_a they_o all_o represent_v christ_n christ_n be_v to_o be_v read_v by_o a_o spiritual_a eye_n in_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v by_o the_o minister_n the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n represent_v christ_n body_n be_v break_v upon_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o pour_v out_o the_o wine_n represent_v how_o christ_n blood_n be_v pour_v out_o for_o we_o and_o the_o give_v of_o the_o wine_n represent_v how_o christ_n be_v offer_v and_o tender_v unto_o we_o the_o take_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n represent_v how_o thou_o by_o faith_n take_v christ_n for_o thy_o everlasting_a comfort_n every_o thing_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o object_n of_o meditation_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n for_o a_o christian_n to_o make_v the_o sacramental_a element_n to_o be_v his_o bible_n when_o he_o be_v at_o the_o sacrament_n and_o when_o he_o find_v his_o heart_n dull_a to_o look_v at_o the_o element_n the_o break_n of_o bread_n and_o pour_v out_o of_o wine_n which_o be_v all_o spiritual_a help_n to_o raise_v up_o thy_o heart_n unto_o christ._n 11._o you_o must_v meditate_v of_o the_o sacramental_a promise_n christ_n jesus_n have_v promise_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o that_o be_v the_o sacramental_a promise_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o christ_n have_v promise_v that_o whensoever_o we_o do_v take_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n worthy_o he_o will_v convey_v himself_o to_o we_o now_o we_o must_v feed_v upon_o this_o promise_n and_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o promise_n and_o he_o have_v promise_v that_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n shall_v be_v the_o cup_n of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o bread_n that_o be_v break_v shall_v be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n now_o we_o must_v meditate_v upon_o these_o promise_n and_o act_v faith_n upon_o they_o 12._o when_o all_o this_o be_v do_v i_o mean_v when_o thou_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n than_o thou_o must_v meditate_v what_o retribution_n to_o make_v unto_o christ_n for_o this_o you_o must_v say_v as_o david_n do_v psal._n 116._o 7._o what_o shall_v i_o render_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o all_o his_o benefit_n towards_o i_o thou_o must_v say_v to_o thy_o soul_n oh_o how_o ought_v i_o to_o love_v that_o christ_n that_o have_v love_v i_o and_o become_v a_o curse_n for_o i_o how_o ought_v i_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v for_o that_o christ_n that_o have_v shed_v his_o blood_n for_o i_o oh_o what_o singular_a thing_n shall_v i_o do_v for_o that_o christ_n that_o have_v become_v man_n that_o have_v leave_v the_o throne_n of_o heaven_n and_o have_v take_v my_o nature_n and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o i_o upon_o the_o cross_n unto_o i_o at_o the_o sacrament_n what_o great_a thing_n shall_v i_o return_v unto_o this_o god_n oh_o that_o i_o be_v make_v up_o all_o of_o thankfulness_n oh_o that_o i_o can_v do_v something_o worthy_a of_o this_o god_n this_o must_v be_v your_o meditation_n and_o you_o must_v study_v to_o find_v out_o some_o rare_a piece_n of_o service_n to_o do_v for_o this_o christ_n that_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o for_o you_o and_o you_o must_v never_o leave_v meditate_v till_o you_o have_v find_v out_o some_o singular_a thing_n as_o for_o example_n such_o a_o enemy_n have_v do_v i_o wrong_n i_o will_v requite_v he_o in_o love_v he_o the_o more_o i_o will_v do_v he_o the_o
