and_o sanctify_v themselves_o for_o the_o passove_a which_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n this_o admonish_v they_o that_o the_o matter_n now_o to_o be_v perform_v be_v very_o weighty_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v deep_o to_o consider_v it_o for_o now_o be_v the_o action_n and_o sum_n of_o all_o salvation_n in_o handle_v if_o they_o do_v prepare_v themselves_o so_o before_o they_o do_v receive_v the_o figure_n of_o this_o sacrament_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v prepare_v before_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n itself_o 6_o therefore_o as_o josiah_n command_v the_o levite_n to_o prepare_v the_o people_n so_o paul_n advise_v the_o people_n to_o prepare_v themselves_o that_o be_v to_o examine_v whether_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o love_n and_o repentance_n scripture_n before_o they_o come_v to_o this_o feast_n by_o this_o all_o may_v see_v first_o that_o paul_n will_v have_v every_o lie_v man_n skilful_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o examine_v himself_o by_o it_o for_o this_o admonition_n be_v not_o to_o they_o which_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n but_o to_o all_o which_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o rule_n by_o which_o we_o must_v examine_v ourselves_o be_v the_o law_n which_o we_o shall_v obey_v therefore_o if_o the_o rule_n be_v unknowen_a the_o examination_n must_v be_v undo_v our_o doctrine_n must_v be_v examine_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n 11._o our_o prayer_n must_v be_v examine_v by_o the_o six_o petition_n of_o christ_n prayer_n note_n our_o belief_n must_v be_v examine_v by_o the_o twelve_o article_n of_o faith_n our_o life_n must_v be_v examine_v by_o the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n etc._n now_o he_o which_o have_v his_o touchstone_n may_v try_v gold_n from_o copper_n but_o he_o which_o have_v it_o not_o takes_z one_o for_o the_o other_o therefore_o 5._o before_o paul_n examine_v you_o have_v need_v to_o learn_v christ_n search_n 39_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o they_o will_v lighten_v you_o to_o search_v yourselves_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n with_o which_o i_o will_v end_v and_o the_o necessary_a point_n for_o which_o i_o choose_v this_o text_n to_o teach_v you_o if_o i_o can_v that_o christian_a art_n how_o to_o examine_v yourselves_o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o before_o he_o eat_v 28._o here_o be_v first_o a_o examination_n division_n second_o a_o examination_n of_o ourselves_o three_o a_o examination_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n touch_v the_o first_o here_o paul_n say_v examine_v yourselves_o but_o in_o 2._o corinth_n 13._o he_o double_v his_o charge_n prove_v yourselves_o and_o again_o at_o next_o word_n examine_v yourselves_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v this_o work_n must_v be_v do_v when_o it_o be_v do_v because_o it_o be_v never_o thorough_o do_v &_o therefore_o we_o must_v double_v our_o examination_n as_o paul_n double_v his_o counsel_n if_o a_o man_n suspect_v his_o enemy_n he_o will_v try_v he_o with_o a_o question_n if_o that_o will_v not_o search_v he_o he_o will_v put_v forth_o another_o if_o that_o be_v spy_v he_o will_v move_v another_o like_o one_o which_o put_v diverse_a key_n into_o a_o lock_n until_o it_o open_v so_o he_o which_o examine_v must_v try_v and_o try_v prove_v and_o prove_v search_n and_o search_v 14._o for_o the_o angel_n of_o darkness_n be_v like_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n 1._o and_o we_o have_v no_o way_n to_o discover_v he_o but_o that_o of_o john_n try_v the_o spirit_n god_n examine_v with_o trial_n the_o devil_n examine_v with_o temptation_n the_o world_n examine_v with_o persecution_n we_o which_o be_v thus_o examine_v have_v need_n to_o examine_v too_o if_o any_o man_n skill_n not_o what_o examine_v mean_v the_o very_a word_n examine_v be_v so_o pregnant_a that_o it_o prompt_v we_o how_o we_o shall_v examine_v for_o it_o signify_v to_o put_v ourselves_o unto_o the_o touchstone_n as_o if_o we_o will_v try_v gold_n from_o copper_n therefore_o one_o say_v that_o examination_n be_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n examination_n whereby_o she_o see_v herself_o and_o her_o safety_n and_o her_o danger_n and_o her_o way_n which_o she_o walk_v and_o her_o pace_n which_o she_o hold_v and_o the_o end_n to_o which_o she_o tend_v she_o look_v into_o her_o glass_n and_o spi_v every_o spot_n in_o her_o face_n how_o all_o her_o grace_n be_v stain_v then_o she_o take_v the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o wash_v her_o blot_n away_o after_o she_o look_v again_o and_o behold_v all_o her_o gift_n her_o faith_n fear_n love_n patience_n meekness_n and_o mark_v how_o every_o one_o do_v flourish_v or_o wither_v if_o they_o fade_v and_o decay_v that_o she_o feel_v a_o consumption_n then_o she_o take_v preseruative_n and_o restorative_n of_o prayer_n and_o counsel_n and_o repentance_n before_o the_o sickness_n grow_v thus_o every_o day_n she_o let_v down_o a_o bucket_n into_o her_o heart_n to_o see_v what_o water_n it_o bring_v up_o lest_o she_o shall_v corrupt_v within_o and_o perish_v sudden_o to_o hear_v and_o read_v and_o pray_v and_o fast_o and_o communicate_v be_v a_o work_n of_o many_o but_o to_o examine_v those_o work_n be_v the_o fashion_n of_o few_o and_o therefore_o jeremie_n complain_v 6._o no_o man_n say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v no_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o therefore_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v say_v but_o of_o one_o 28._o that_o he_o fear_v all_o his_o work_n as_o though_o he_o dare_v not_o think_v nor_o speak_v nor_o do_v any_o thing_n before_o he_o have_v examine_v what_o it_o be_v from_o whence_o it_o come_v and_o whither_o it_o go_v so_o the_o more_o precious_a treasure_n be_v deep_a hide_v in_o the_o ground_n 44_o the_o second_o point_n be_v to_o examine_v ourselves_o paul_n say_v 21_o try_v all_o thing_n much_o more_o shall_v we_o try_v ourselves_o 25_o the_o good_a sower_n do_v sow_v his_o own_o ground_n but_o the_o bad_a sower_n do_v so_o we_o another_o man_n ground_n as_o the_o devil_n do_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n say_v master_n be_v it_o i_o not_o 22_o master_n be_v it_o he_o the_o disciple_n of_o john_n ask_v 10._o master_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v not_o master_n what_o shall_v they_o do_v we_o must_v obey_v some_o and_o hear_v other_o &_o admonish_v other_o and_o love_n all_o but_o examine_v ourselves_o that_o which_o we_o apply_v unto_o other_o the_o apostle_n apply_v unto_o ourselves_o for_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o examiner_n we_o intend_v one_o which_o examine_v other_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o accuser_n we_o intend_v one_o which_o accuse_v other_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o judge_n we_o mean_v one_o which_o judge_v other_o 13_o but_o the_o scripture_n cry_v examine_v thyself_o accuse_v thyself_o judge_v thyself_o 3._o that_o be_v be_v not_o curious_a to_o search_v a_o moat_n in_o thy_o brother_n eye_n but_o pull_v out_o the_o beam_n which_o be_v in_o thy_o own_o eye_n this_o do_v show_v that_o they_o which_o sit_v in_o god_n chair_n to_o judge_v other_o common_o have_v great_a fault_n themselves_o than_o they_o who_o they_o use_v to_o judge_v and_o therefore_o christ_n call_v their_o fault_n a_o beam_n and_o the_o other_o a_o moat_n this_o make_v david_n say_v 4._o examine_v thy_o heart_n thy_o heart_n be_v thy_o own_o heart_n therefore_o thou_o must_v examine_v whether_o thou_o pray_v whether_o thou_o watch_n whether_o thou_o fast_o and_o not_o whether_o he_o pray_v whether_o he_o watch_v whether_o he_o fast_o as_o the_o pharisie_n examine_v the_o publican_n 11._o lest_o thou_o have_v peter_n check_n when_o he_o examine_v what_o john_n shall_v do_v 22_o christ_n say_v what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o follow_v thou_o i_o thou_o be_v a_o private_a man_n and_o have_v a_o private_a examination_n therefore_o let_v thy_o question_n be_v what_o have_v i_o do_v and_o make_v thy_o anatomy_n of_o thyself_o see_v belove_v we_o may_v not_o believe_v ourselves_o before_o we_o have_v examine_v ourselves_o for_o we_o be_v false_a heart_a and_o the_o notable_a cousiner_n that_o deceive_v most_o for_o one_o time_n that_o he_o deceive_v other_o ten_o time_n deceive_v himself_o because_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o wily_a servant_n and_o will_v lie_v like_o gehezi_n to_o his_o master_n 25._o and_o face_n he_o that_o it_o have_v not_o sin_v when_o it_o come_v from_o sin_n therefore_o as_o elisha_n examine_v his_o servant_n 26._o so_o the_o soul_n must_v examine_v her_o servant_n that_o be_v man_n must_v be_v jealous_a of_o himself_o and_o take_v himself_o for_o a_o liar_n for_o a_o flatterer_n for_o a_o dissembler_n until_o he_o be_v through_o acquaint_v with_o himself_o for_o no_o man_n be_v so_o often_o beguile_v as_o by_o

word_n wanton_a gesture_n and_o dainty_a fare_n with_o many_o other_o pleasure_n do_v because_v unto_o sin_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o wine_n why_o hang_v the_o bush_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o

the_o apostle_n that_o you_o will_v not_o walk_v in_o strife_n and_o envy_v therefore_o put_v away_o these_o among_o the_o rest_n for_o he_o that_o have_v not_o put_v off_o these_o have_v not_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o put_v on_o christ_n he_o be_v then_o no_o christian_a envy_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o it_o punish_v itself_o like_o gluttony_n for_o it_o fret_v the_o heart_n shorten_v the_o life_n and_o eat_v the_o flesh_n as_o a_o fire_n consume_v the_o wood_n it_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o strife_n and_o a_o great_a worker_n in_o the_o court_n this_o be_v it_o which_o bring_v labour_n and_o sickness_n and_o death_n into_o the_o world_n even_o the_o envy_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o it_o will_v condemn_v thou_o in_o thy_o conscience_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o envious_a man_n nothing_o resemble_v god_n more_o than_o love_n for_o god_n be_v love_n so_o if_o thou_o have_v love_n thou_o resemble_v god_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v envy_n and_o be_v a_o adversary_n thou_o resemble_v the_o devil_n for_o thou_o can_v not_o come_v near_o the_o devil_n any_o way_n than_o to_o be_v envious_a as_o the_o dust_n come_v with_o the_o wind_n so_o the_o devil_n come_v with_o envy_n and_o he_o that_o be_v possess_v with_o envy_n be_v possess_v with_o the_o devil_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n above_o all_o thing_n put_v on_o love_n because_o love_n be_v best_a of_o all_o why_o do_v he_o call_v love_v the_o band_n of_o perfection_n because_o it_o bind_v all_o virtue_n together_o if_o love_n be_v the_o band_n of_o perfection_n to_o bind_v all_o virtue_n together_o then_o envy_n be_v the_o band_n of_o impiety_n to_o bind_v all_o sin_n together_o therefore_o if_o we_o must_v cast_v off_o all_o but_o love_n we_o must_v cast_v off_o envy_n thou_o can_v not_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o peace_n without_o love_n the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n be_v at_o peace_n and_o shall_v not_o god_n kingdom_n be_v at_o peace_n shall_v we_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o be_v at_o variance_n with_o god_n and_o at_o strife_n one_o with_o another_o fire_n be_v cruel_a wrath_n be_v rage_v but_o who_o can_v stand_v before_o envy_n proverb_n 27._o and_o if_o none_o can_v stand_v before_o envy_n how_o can_v envy_n stand_v before_o god_n if_o thou_o can_v not_o forgive_v he_o that_o do_v offend_v thou_o thou_o pray_v against_o thyself_o and_o ask_v vengeance_n upon_o thou_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v thou_o not_o to_o let_v the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o thy_o wrath_n ephes_n 5._o 26._o charity_n envy_v not_o say_v paul_n therefore_o see_v thou_o have_v charity_n lest_o thou_o be_v count_v a_o envious_a person_n the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n be_v arm_v with_o horn_n with_o hoof_n with_o tusk_n and_o such_o like_a to_o take_v revenge_n but_o nature_n have_v leave_v nothing_o for_o man_n to_o put_v he_o in_o

envy_v john_n say_v he_o that_o hate_v his_o brother_n be_v a_o manslayer_n and_o love_v not_o god_n neither_o know_v god_n if_o a_o envious_a man_n say_v he_o say_v he_o love_v god_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n because_o he_o hate_v his_o image_n if_o he_o say_v he_o know_v god_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n how_o can_v thou_o love_v god_n and_o hate_v good_a man_n &_o how_o can_v thou_o love_v learning_n when_o thou_o hate_v the_o learned_a so_o do_v the_o envious_a man_n all_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a therefore_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a sin_n because_o it_o come_v near_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n consider_v therefore_o who_o thou_o hate_v even_o thy_o image_n the_o devil_n be_v appoint_v to_o hate_v man_n and_o not_o man_n to_o hate_v man_n and_o if_o thou_o hate_v a_o good_a man_n thou_o hate_v god_n if_o thou_o hate_v a_o evil_a man_n thou_o hate_v one_o like_o thyself_o and_o if_o thou_o hate_v one_o like_o thyself_o thou_o hate_v thy_o own_o soul_n therefore_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n can_v thou_o not_o hate_v the_o sin_n and_o love_v the_o person_n as_o the_o physician_n hate_v the_o disease_n and_o yet_o love_v the_o
