press_v you_o by_o these_o two_o argument_n and_o so_o conclude_v i._o the_o first_o be_v the_o great_a concern_v we_o have_v make_v show_n of_o about_o our_o religion_n and_o the_o fear_n we_o have_v

keep_v it_o by_o be_v true_o religious_a be_v there_o any_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o they_o be_v trouble_v with_o fear_n of_o lose_v one_o half_o of_o the_o communion_n who_o can_v be_v content_a with_o none_o at_o all_o or_o with_o what_o conscience_n do_v they_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o take_v away_o the_o cup_n from_o the_o people_n when_o they_o themselves_o live_v as_o if_o the_o whole_a sacrament_n be_v unnecessary_a it_o be_v a_o false_a zeal_n which_o declaim_v against_o the_o priest_n receive_v alone_o and_o do_v not_o bring_v man_n to_o receive_v

be_v unseigned_o desirous_a to_o maintain_v the_o estate_n of_o religion_n here_o establish_v let_v we_o serious_o comply_v with_o its_o institution_n and_o serve_v god_n due_o in_o all_o its_o

profession_n if_o such_o as_o these_o may_v not_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o holy_a communion_n and_o consequent_o we_o receive_v with_o such_o than_o none_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v but_o we_o must_v turn_v all_o people_n whatsoever_o from_o it_o and_o so_o break_v all_o christian_a communion_n for_o want_v of_o company_n to_o partake_v of_o this_o sacrament_n extinguish_v the_o ordinance_n itself_o which_o christ_n have_v most_o solemn_o appoint_v ii_o now_o this_o be_v settle_v as_o a_o wellgrounded_n truth_n it_o follow_v that_o no_o good_a christian_n can_v be_v forward_o to_o

person_n who_o they_o censure_v because_o they_o act_v contrary_a to_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o make_v it_o a_o sin_n to_o be_v hasty_a in_o condemn_v our_o neighbour_n there_o be_v such_o great_a danger_n that_o we_o may_v be_v mistake_v for_o though_o a_o man_n have_v contradict_v his_o christian_a profession_n in_o some_o thing_n yet_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n wherein_o we_o all_o agree_v that_o whosoever_o be_v a_o true_a penitent_a and_o purpose_n to_o leave_v those_o sin_n whereby_o he_o have_v contradict_v it_o be_v by_o that_o repentance_n restore_v to_o friendship_n with_o god_n and_o therefore_o real_o worthy_a to_o receive_v the_o holy_a communion_n now_o whether_o a_o man_n who_o you_o judge_v unworthy_a have_v this_o serious_a settle_a purpose_n or_o no_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o you_o to_o know_v since_o you_o can_v see_v into_o any_o man_n heart_n nor_o know_v what_o be_v between_o god_n and_o he_o in_o secret_a but_o he_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n you_o ought_v rather_o to_o judge_v that_o he_o do_v so_o purpose_n and_o resolve_v because_o he_o be_v invite_v thither_o upon_o those_o term_n and_o no_o other_o nay_o require_v to_o come_v so_o prepare_v or_o else_o not_o dare_v to_o approach_v unto_o it_o for_o so_o you_o find_v it_o in_o the_o exhortation_n that_o be_v read_v when_o the_o minister_n give_v warning_n for_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o so_o he_o speak_v again_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o celebration_n in_o those_o know_a word_n you_o that_o do_v true_o and_o earnest_o repent_v you_o of_o your_o sin_n and_o be_v in_o love_n and_o charity_n with_o your_o neighbour_n and_o intend_v to_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n follow_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o walk_v from_o
