have_v forbid_v we_o how_o strange_a be_v this_o for_o man_n out_o of_o a_o dread_n of_o damnation_n to_o neglect_v their_o duty_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n not_o to_o be_v afraid_a to_o live_v carnal_a and_o sensual_a life_n never_o therefore_o let_v any_o among_o you_o so_o long_o as_o you_o continue_v in_o your_o sin_n plead_v that_o you_o be_v afraid_a you_o shall_v offend_v your_o saviour_n if_o unworthy_o you_o eat_v his_o body_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n and_o therefore_o dare_v not_o communicate_v for_o your_o daily_a practice_n confute_v this_o pretence_n whilst_o you_o notorious_o break_v his_o law_n and_o violate_v his_o authority_n and_o scandalize_v his_o religion_n you_o pretend_v fear_n of_o damnation_n no_o such_o matter_n this_o be_v not_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o your_o abstain_v from_o this_o sacrament_n you_o be_v rather_o afraid_a the_o sacrament_n will_v engage_v you_o to_o leave_v those_o sin_n you_o have_v no_o mind_n as_o yet_o to_o part_v with_o that_o it_o will_v put_v you_o upon_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o duty_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o your_o profit_n pleasure_n or_o secular_a interest_n you_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o displease_v god_n but_o of_o be_v too_o strict_o tie_v and_o bind_v to_o please_v he_o you_o be_v afraid_a lest_o that_o solemnity_n shall_v raise_v some_o scruple_n in_o your_o mind_n which_o you_o have_v no_o leisure_n to_o consider_v of_o you_o will_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o such_o a_o serious_a business_n you_o suspect_v you_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o sin_n so_o secure_o and_o quiet_o after_o it_o as_o now_o you_o do_v let_v not_o such_o therefore_o as_o neglect_v this_o duty_n invent_v any_o such_o pitiful_a excuse_n but_o confess_v plain_o that_o they_o love_v sin_n and_o the_o world_n too_o much_o that_o they_o prize_v they_o above_o the_o benefit_n purchase_v by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o resolve_v to_o go_v on_o in_o their_o wickedness_n for_o some_o long_a time_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o do_v not_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n they_o be_v loath_a to_o engage_v themselves_o so_o solemn_o to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o find_v in_o themselves_o no_o heart_n or_o will_n to_o perform_v this_o indeed_o be_v the_o secret_a thought_n of_o many_o man_n though_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o very_a foolish_a one_o for_o they_o be_v very_o much_o mistake_v who_o think_v themselves_o at_o great_a liberty_n to_o do_v evil_a whilst_o they_o abstain_v from_o this_o sacrament_n for_o christian_n be_v engage_v by_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n to_o no_o other_o obedience_n than_o they_o be_v before_o by_o their_o baptism_n it_o do_v not_o so_o much_o oblige_v we_o to_o new_a duty_n as_o enable_v we_o to_o make_v good_a those_o obligation_n which_o our_o profession_n of_o christianity_n have_v already_o lay_v upon_o we_o 5._o and_o last_o if_o the_o receive_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o indifferent_a rite_n or_o ceremony_n that_o may_v be_v do_v or_o omit_v at_o pleasure_n than_o indeed_o the_o great_a danger_n there_o be_v in_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o may_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n justify_v our_o omission_n of_o it_o but_o what_o if_o the_o danger_n be_v as_o great_a and_o the_o hazard_n equal_a of_o not_o receive_v it_o at_o all_o as_o of_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o where_o then_o be_v our_o prudence_n or_o safety_n when_o to_o avoid_v one_o danger_n we_o run_v into_o another_o every_o whit_n as_o great_a when_o for_o fear_v of_o displease_v god_n we_o disobey_v a_o plain_a command_n and_o for_o fear_n of_o damnation_n commit_v a_o damnable_a sin_n for_o i_o can_v call_v it_o no_o less_o to_o live_v in_o the_o neglect_n and_o contempt_n of_o this_o holy_a institution_n it_o be_v not_o very_o easy_a to_o determine_v which_o be_v the_o great_a affront_n to_o god_n or_o do_v most_o high_o provoke_v he_o never_o to_o perform_v our_o duty_n or_o to_o perform_v it_o after_o a_o wrong_a manner_n never_o to_o pray_v at_o all_o or_o to_o be_v present_a at_o prayer_n but_o not_o to_o mind_n or_o regard_v what_o we_o be_v about_o never_o to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n or_o to_o receive_v it_o often_o but_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o what_o we_o and_o drink_v there_o and_o what_o eat_v we_o do_v at_o our_o own_o house_n but_o however_o he_o that_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n although_o it_o be_v after_o a_o undue_a manner_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o show_v somewhat_o more_o respect_n to_o god_n and_o his_o command_n than_o he_o who_o whole_o neglect_v it_o and_o beside_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o wicked_a man_n that_o dare_v come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n without_o some_o good_a thought_n and_o resolution_n or_o who_o be_v not_o for_o a_o little_a time_n before_o and_o after_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o more_o careful_a of_o himself_o and_o his_o action_n and_o though_o this_o do_v not_o last_v long_o but_o he_o soon_o return_v to_o his_o former_a wickedness_n yet_o however_o this_o be_v something_o better_a than_o continue_v in_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n without_o any_o intermission_n or_o cessation_n moreover_o such_o a_o one_o use_v the_o best_a mean_n of_o become_v better_a which_o by_o god_n grace_n at_o some_o time_n may_v prove_v effectual_a whereas_o he_o that_o cast_v off_o all_o these_o duty_n be_v in_o a_o more_o desperate_a and_o irreclaimable_a state_n in_o short_a be_v there_o neither_o sin_n nor_o danger_n in_o omit_v this_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o so_o great_a hazard_n in_o the_o receive_n it_o unworthy_o prudence_n and_o interest_n may_v engage_v we_o to_o choose_v the_o safe_a side_n and_o not_o to_o meddle_v with_o it_o at_o all_o but_o if_o we_o expose_v ourselves_o as_o certain_o to_o god_n anger_n and_o displeasure_n by_o whole_o neglect_v this_o duty_n as_o by_o perform_v it_o undue_o than_o these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n can_v be_v no_o pretence_n or_o excuse_n for_o our_o abstain_v from_o this_o communion_n for_o will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o odd_a way_n of_o argue_v because_o intemperate_a eat_n and_o drink_v be_v very_o prejudicial_a to_o our_o health_n and_o often_o breed_v mortal_a disease_n therefore_o it_o be_v better_a never_o to_o eat_v or_o drink_v at_o all_o will_v it_o not_o be_v madness_n lest_o we_o shall_v kill_v ourselves_o by_o a_o surfeit_n to_o resolve_v to_o starve_v ourselves_o by_o obstinate_a fast_v and_o this_o shall_v bring_v i_o to_o the_o four_o and_o last_o thing_n i_o propound_v to_o discourse_v of_o which_o be_v iv_o to_o show_v what_o be_v the_o only_a true_a and_o just_a consequence_n which_o can_v be_v draw_v from_o what_o be_v here_o affirm_v by_o the_o apostle_n he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o which_o be_v this_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v plain_o command_v all_o his_o follower_n and_o disciple_n to_o do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o and_o yet_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v so_o great_a danger_n in_o do_v it_o unworthy_o that_o we_o shall_v neither_o omit_v the_o duty_n for_o that_o will_v be_v a_o plain_a transgression_n of_o our_o saviour_n command_n nor_o yet_o be_v careless_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o inference_n which_o the_o apostle_n himself_o make_v not_o that_o the_o corinthian_n who_o he_o blame_v so_o much_o for_o their_o unworthy_a receive_v this_o sacrament_n shall_v therefore_o forbear_v come_v to_o it_o any_o more_o at_o all_o but_o for_o the_o future_a they_o shall_v examine_v themselves_o and_o partake_v of_o it_o with_o great_a reverence_n and_o devotion_n than_o they_o have_v use_v to_o do_v let_v the_o danger_n of_o receive_v unworthy_o be_v never_o so_o great_a the_o consideration_n of_o this_o aught_o only_a to_o make_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o receive_v it_o after_o a_o right_n and_o acceptable_a manner_n and_o to_o put_v we_o upon_o great_a watchfulness_n over_o ourselves_o when_o we_o meddle_v with_o such_o sacred_a thing_n this_o be_v the_o use_n we_o ought_v to_o make_v of_o these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n not_o rash_o or_o precipitant_o without_o due_a preparation_n or_o consideration_n to_o rush_v upon_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n but_o serious_o to_o mind_v the_o end_n and_o design_n of_o it_o and_o so_o due_o to_o affect_v our_o spirit_n with_o the_o thing_n represent_v to_o we_o by_o it_o that_o they_o may_v make_v lively_a and_o last_a impression_n upon_o we_o and_o we_o may_v bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o all_o in_o a_o holy_a and_o unblamable_a conversation_n in_o the_o world_n to_o end_v all_o i_o will_v not_o have_v any_o thing_n i_o have_v now_o say_v upon_o this_o subject_n to_o you_o so_o interpret_v or_o understand_v as_o in_o the_o least_o to_o take_v away_o from_o the_o reverence_n you_o have_v of_o

of_o god_n worship_n but_o of_o those_o who_o pretend_v to_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o care_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o yet_o live_v at_o ease_n in_o the_o gross_a omission_n of_o this_o duty_n now_o among_o the_o many_o plea_n or_o excuse_n with_o which_o man_n satisfy_v themselves_o in_o the_o neglect_n or_o disuse_n of_o this_o holy_a communion_n that_o which_o most_o general_o prevail_v and_o perhaps_o with_o some_o honest_a and_o well-meaning_a person_n be_v the_o consideration_n of_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o so_o dreadful_a be_v the_o threaten_a and_o punishment_n here_o denounce_v against_o those_o who_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n unworthy_o that_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o think_v it_o much_o the_o safe_a and_o wife_a course_n never_o to_o venture_v on_o a_o duty_n the_o wrong_a performance_n of_o which_o be_v attend_v with_o so_o great_a mischief_n damnation_n be_v so_o terrible_a a_o word_n and_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v say_v v._n 27._o whosoever_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n unworthy_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o heinous_a a_o crime_n that_o it_o may_v seem_v the_o most_o prudent_a course_n for_o a_o man_n to_o keep_v himself_o at_o the_o great_a distance_n from_o all_o possibility_n of_o fall_v into_o it_o better_o never_o receive_v at_o all_o than_o expose_v one_o self_n to_o so_o great_a hazard_n by_o receive_v i_o hope_v therefore_o it_o will_v not_o be_v think_v altogether_o unprofitable_a to_o entertain_v you_o at_o this_o time_n with_o a_o discourse_n on_o these_o word_n wherein_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o give_v you_o the_o full_a meaning_n of_o they_o with_o the_o true_a and_o just_a inference_n and_o consequence_n that_o may_v be_v draw_v from_o they_o in_o order_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o i._o what_o be_v mean_v here_o by_o damnation_n ii_o what_o by_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o iii_o how_o far_o this_o text_n may_v reasonable_o scare_v and_o fright_v people_n from_o this_o sacrament_n iu._n what_o be_v the_o true_a consequence_n from_o what_o be_v here_o affirm_v by_o the_o apostle_n he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o i._o what_o be_v mean_v here_o by_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o a_o man_n self_n the_o original_a word_n which_o be_v here_o translate_a damnation_n true_o signify_v no_o more_o than_o judgement_n or_o punishment_n in_o general_n of_o what_o kind_n soever_o it_o be_v temporal_a or_o eternal_a so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o translate_n it_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n damnation_n nay_o there_o be_v two_o plain_a reason_n why_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v only_o of_o temporal_a evil_n and_o chastisement_n 1._o because_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v inflict_v on_o the_o corinthian_n for_o their_o profanation_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v only_o temporal_a verse_n 30_o for_o this_o cause_n many_o be_v weak_a and_o sickly_a among_o you_o and_o many_o sleep_n 2._o because_o the_o reason_n assign_v of_o these_o judgement_n be_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v condemn_v in_o the_o other_o world_n v._o 32._o but_o when_o we_o be_v judge_v where_o the_o same_o greek_a word_n be_v use_v which_o in_o my_o text_n be_v translate_v damnation_n we_o be_v chastened_a of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n that_o be_v god_n inflict_v these_o evil_n on_o the_o corinthian_n that_o be_v reform_v by_o these_o stripe_n in_o this_o life_n they_o may_v escape_v that_o vengeance_n which_o be_v reserve_v for_o the_o impenitent_a in_o another_o life_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v damnation_n that_o be_v eternal_a damnation_n that_o be_v either_o threaten_v or_o inflict_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o unworthy_a receive_n the_o sum_n of_o what_o the_o apostle_n mean_v seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o by_o profane_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n they_o will_v pluck_v down_o some_o remarkable_a judgement_n upon_o their_o head_n of_o this_o say_v he_o you_o have_v notorious_a instance_n among_o yourselves_o in_o those_o various_a and_o mortal_a disease_n that_o have_v be_v so_o rise_v in_o your_o city_n and_o this_o god_n do_v to_o warn_v you_o that_o you_o may_v be_v awaken_v to_o avoid_v great_a and_o worse_a judgement_n that_o be_v future_a and_o eternal_a now_o this_o punishment_n be_v extraordinary_a and_o peculiar_a to_o that_o time_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n find_v among_o we_o at_o this_o day_n namely_o that_o god_n do_v sudden_o smite_v all_o unworthy_a communicant_n with_o some_o grievous_a disease_n or_o sudden_a death_n nor_o indeed_o be_v man_n afraid_a of_o any_o such_o thing_n though_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n that_o by_o such_o profaneness_n they_o will_v bring_v down_o some_o remarkable_a temporal_a judgement_n upon_o themselves_o but_o i_o shall_v not_o insist_v any_o long_o upon_o this_o but_o take_v the_o word_n damnation_n as_o we_o common_o understand_v it_o and_o in_o that_o sense_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o a_o man_n self_n do_v imply_v that_o by_o our_o unworthy_a participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o receive_v any_o benefit_n or_o advantage_n by_o it_o that_o we_o do_v incur_v god_n heavy_a displeasure_n and_o render_v ourselves_o liable_a to_o eternal_a misery_n and_o so_o proceed_v ii_o to_o inquire_v who_o those_o be_v that_o do_v run_v this_o great_a danger_n they_o who_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o now_o this_o phrase_n of_o eat_v unworthy_o be_v only_o find_v here_o in_o this_o chapter_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o it_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o the_o fault_n be_v with_o which_o the_o apostle_n charge_v the_o corinthian_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v some_o very_a heinous_a disorder_n that_o have_v creep_v in_o among_o they_o occasion_v by_o their_o lovefeast_n at_o the_o end_n of_o which_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v usual_o celebrate_v which_o disorder_v therefore_o be_v peculiar_a to_o those_o time_n and_o be_v not_o now_o to_o be_v find_v among_o we_o as_o v._o 18._o first_o of_o all_o when_o you_o come_v together_o in_o the_o church_n i_o hear_v that_o there_o be_v division_n among_o you_o they_o bandy_v into_o separate_a party_n and_o v._o 21._o in_o eat_v every_o one_o take_v before_o another_o his_o own_o supper_n that_o be_v whereas_o there_o be_v a_o custom_n when_o they_o come_v together_o to_o commemorate_v christ_n death_n to_o furnish_v a_o common_a table_n where_o no_o man_n be_v to_o pretend_v any_o propriety_n to_o what_o he_o himself_o bring_v but_o be_v to_o eat_v in_o common_a with_o the_o rest_n this_o charitable_a custom_n these_o corinthian_n whole_o pervert_v for_o he_o that_o bring_v a_o great_a deal_n fall_v to_o that_o as_o

with_o such_o irreverence_n and_o disorder_n do_v they_o behave_v themselves_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v meet_v at_o a_o common_a feast_n this_o the_o apostle_n call_v not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n that_o be_v they_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o that_o heavenly_a food_n and_o common_a bread_n they_o eat_v the_o sacrament_n as_o if_o it_o be_v their_o ordinary_a meat_n what_o say_v he_o v._o 22._o have_v you_o not_o house_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o you_o may_v even_o as_o well_o stay_v at_o home_n and_o do_v this_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o

commemorate_v his_o love_n and_o to_o devote_v ourselves_o to_o he_o in_o new_a and_o better_a obedience_n and_o not_o to_o make_v it_o a_o merry_a meeting_n only_o to_o fill_v our_o own_o belly_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o they_o be_v also_o riotous_a and_o intemperate_a in_o these_o lovefeast_n they_o play_v the_o glutton_n and_o be_v drink_v even_o when_o they_o receive_v the_o
