shall_v be_v as_o the_o last_o so_o in_o my_o judgement_n not_o the_o least_o profitable_a part_n of_o this_o treaty_n and_o that_o be_v how_o a_o man_n shall_v draw_v near_o unto_o such_o reverend_a

to_o offer_v to_o he_o such_o excellent_a grace_n thereby_o wherein_o i_o mind_v not_o to_o deal_v large_o because_o as_o you_o see_v through_o all_o this_o discourse_n i_o profess_v brevity_n and_o

say_v somewhat_o since_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v i_o to_o feel_v somewhat_o be_v not_o only_o to_o deface_v the_o grace_n that_o god_n in_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n have_v bestow_v upon_o i_o poor_a and_o miserable_a wretch_n that_o i_o be_o but_o to_o defraud_v my_o good_a brethren_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n of_o some_o either_o profitable_a instruction_n or_o sweet_a comfort_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v please_v to_o acquaint_v i_o withal_o wherein_o set_v god_n glory_n chief_o before_o my_o eye_n and_o the_o good_a of_o his_o child_n i_o will_v trust_v in_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o mercy_n assay_v to_o utter_v that_o little_a that_o i_o myself_o in_o some_o measure_n feel_v in_o this_o matter_n the_o thing_n that_o every_o man_n be_v principal_o to_o deal_v in_o concern_v this_o point_n may_v in_o my_o mind_n be_v well_o reduce_v into_o three_o short_a head_n or_o title_n first_a because_o no_o man_n be_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n without_o deep_a consideration_n before_o hand_n of_o the_o matter_n he_o take_v in_o hand_n we_o be_v to_o see_v what_o he_o be_v to_o perform_v before_o the_o communicate_n or_o receive_v of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o this_o i_o will_v call_v in_o one_o term_n preparation_n secondlie_o because_o in_o the_o action_n and_o execution_n of_o every_o good_a and_o lawful_a thing_n a_o man_n be_v to_o have_v his_o mind_n whole_o bend_v and_o set_v upon_o the_o same_o we_o be_v to_o weigh_v what_o he_o be_v to_o do_v or_o think_v upon_o in_o the_o time_n and_o at_o the_o very_a instant_n of_o receive_v and_o this_o i_o will_v name_v meditation_n three_o because_o there_o be_v no_o good_a thing_n so_o well_o do_v but_o the_o pleasure_n or_o profit_n in_o time_n afterward_o may_v thereby_o redound_v to_o the_o doer_n yea_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o well_o do_v by_o man_n but_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o imperfection_n of_o man_n nature_n some_o thing_n must_v still_o be_v add_v we_o be_v to_o look_v what_o he_o be_v to_o do_v after_o the_o time_n of_o receive_v and_o this_o i_o will_v call_v action_n or_o practice_n preparation_n which_o be_v the_o first_o respect_v either_o god_n or_o man_n now_o that_o which_o concern_v god_n be_v comprehend_v under_o sound_a knowledge_n true_a faith_n &_o unfeigned_a repentance_n as_o that_o which_o concern_v man_n be_v comprise_v under_o sincere_a love_n and_o i_o call_v they_o sound_v true_a unfeigned_a and_o sincere_a &_o yet_o not_o perfect_a because_o perfection_n proper_o signify_v that_o unto_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v can_v not_o be_v find_v in_o man_n during_o this_o natural_a life_n of_o he_o and_o this_o i_o speak_v partly_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o such_o as_o dream_v of_o a_o perfection_n in_o this_o life_n to_o gross_a a_o error_n to_o be_v large_o confute_v because_o god_n word_n be_v most_o plain_a in_o that_o behalf_n &_o the_o manifold_a imperfection_n of_o those_o that_o will_v seem_v most_o perfect_a do_v plentifullie_o improve_v the_o same_o and_o partly_o as_o in_o a_o comfortable_a sort_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o our_o imperfection_n shall_v not_o hinder_v we_o from_o draw_v nigh_o thereto_o so_o that_o we_o do_v not_o foster_v and_o feed_v ourselves_o in_o they_o see_v that_o otherwise_o the_o sacrament_n shall_v stand_v we_o in_o no_o steed_n if_o we_o be_v not_o unperfect_a because_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a help_n and_o singular_a succour_n ordain_v by_o god_n himself_o against_o our_o natural_a infirmity_n and_o weakness_n 1_o by_o knowledge_n i_o understand_v not_o any_o human_a science_n or_o worldly_a faculty_n or_o a_o mean_a insight_n into_o the_o ground_n of_o christian_n religion_n but_o a_o assure_a understanding_n as_o of_o the_o most_o material_a

of_o our_o religion_n alone_o and_o this_o sound_a knowledge_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o christian_n religion_n and_o that_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o god_n have_v reveal_v they_o unto_o we_o in_o his_o word_n must_v of_o necessity_n go_v before_o all_o other_o thing_n both_o because_o it_o be_v as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v the_o foundation_n to_o the_o house_n &_o the_o root_n to_o the_o tree_n and_o also_o because_o if_o we_o know_v not_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o our_o god_n we_o can_v never_o either_o believe_v or_o do_v the_o same_o for_o even_o as_o
