to_o those_o that_o i_o now_o do_v communicate_v with_o for_o it_o be_v the_o near_a communion_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v in_o this_o world_n between_o one_o creature_n and_o another_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o there_o shall_v be_v that_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n set_v up_o every_o where_o to_o cast_v out_o those_o that_o be_v unworthy_a because_o it_o be_v the_o great_a

at_o staff_n end_n or_o walk_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o they_o though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o poor_a and_o mean_a know_v that_o thou_o do_v profane_v this_o holy_a ordinance_n every_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o it_o when_o thou_o come_v with_o such_o a_o heart_n as_o this_o be_v if_o thou_o do_v not_o find_v this_o renew_a love_n lord_n there_o begin_v to_o be_v a_o strangeness_n between_o

of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n oh_o how_o far_o be_v people_n from_o any_o such_o work_n of_o god_n as_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n expect_v this_o shall_v be_v in_o you_o every_o time_n you_o

you_o have_v take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a be_v this_o holy_a ordinance_n you_o have_v not_o be_v worthy_a receiver_n of_o this_o sacrament_n you_o have_v cause_n to_o look_v back_o to_o your_o former_a way_n and_o spend_v much_o humiliation_n for_o your_o sin_n herein_o and_o not_o to_o be_v so_o greedy_a of_o it_o as_o some_o be_v they_o must_v have_v the_o communion_n but_o i_o put_v it_o to_o your_o conscience_n have_v you_o repent_v you_o for_o the_o profane_v of_o god_n name_n and_o that_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v further_o have_v speak_v of_o that_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v that_o be_v thus_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n it_o will_v quite_o turn_v to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v the_o proper_a end_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o seal_v up_o our_o

time_n as_o thou_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n so_o many_o seal_n have_v thou_o upon_o thou_o for_o the_o seal_n up_o of_o thy_o condemnation_n but_o yet_o for_o thy_o comfort_n while_o thou_o be_v alive_a it_o be_v possible_a that_o these_o sell_v may_v be_v break_v open_a as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o revelation_n that_o john_n see_v the_o book_n that_o have_v seven_o seal_n upon_o it_o and_o none_o can_v be_v find_v that_o be_v able_a to_o open_v it_o at_o length_n the_o lamb_n that_o be_v slay_v he_o be_v find_v worthy_a to_o open_v the_o book_n so_o i_o say_v thy_o condemnation_n be_v seal_v up_o with_o many_o seal_n and_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n that_o be_v able_a to_o conceal_v these_o seal_n only_o the_o lamb_n jesus_n christ_n yea_o that_o christ_n who_o blood_n thou_o have_v shed_v and_o be_v guilty_a of_o only_o he_o be_v worthy_a and_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o open_v these_o seal_n for_o as_o it_o be_v with_o those_o that_o do_v crucify_v christ_n yet_o they_o be_v save_v by_o the_o same_o blood_n that_o they_o have_v shed_v as_o in_o act_n 2._o so_o though_o thou_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n again_o and_o again_o by_o thy_o profane_a come_n to_o the_o sacrament_n yet_o know_v see_v there_o be_v life_n in_o thou_o and_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n be_v continue_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o thy_o soul_n may_v be_v save_v by_o that_o blood_n that_o thou_o have_v crucify_v oh_o how_o many_o be_v cut_v off_o that_o have_v thus_o profane_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o never_o come_v to_o understand_v this_o danger_n they_o be_v cut_v off_o and_o now_o be_v undo_v for_o ever_o then_o bless_v god_n that_o thou_o be_v alive_a to_o hear_v more_o about_o this_o sacrament_n and_o how_o god_n name_v shall_v be_v sanctify_v that_o thou_o be_v alive_a and_o have_v time_n to_o repent_v the_o of_o this_o great_a evil_n of_o profane_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n sermon_n xiii_o leviticus_n 10._o 3._o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o they_o that_o come_v nigh_o i_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o about_o the_o sanctify_a the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o clear_o concern_v we_o and_o that_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o this_o be_v such_o a_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o depend_v mere_o upon_o institution_n that_o be_v upon_o a_o positive_a law_n upon_o the_o will_n of_o god_n there_o be_v some_o duty_n of_o worship_n which_o be_v natural_a that_o we_o may_v know_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n they_o be_v due_a to_o god_n but_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o duty_n of_o worship_n that_o be_v only_o by_o institution_n and_o if_o god_n have_v not_o reveal_v it_o we_o have_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o it_o therefore_o in_o these_o duty_n of_o institution_n god_n stand_v very_o punctual_a upon_o they_o we_o must_v be_v very_o exact_a neither_o to_o err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o the_o left_a to_o make_v any_o alteration_n in_o the_o point_n of_o institution_n now_o therefore_o for_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n we_o find_v it_o in_o divers_a of_o the_o evangelist_n in_o matth._n 26._o 26._o there_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n they_o eat_v the_o sacrament_n together_o and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o it_o they_o be_v together_o sit_v at_o the_o same_o table_n so_o it_o be_v call_v the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n sometime_o in_o scripture_n therefore_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o institution_n that_o those_o that_o do_v communicate_v must_v come_v to_o the_o table_n as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v as_o many_o as_o can_v sit_v about_o it_o and_o all_o to_o come_v as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o otherwise_o you_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v the_o end_n why_o god_n shall_v have_v you_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o end_n be_v to_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n now_o except_o pou_fw-mi be_v able_a to_o see_v the_o sight_n to_o see_v what_o be_v do_v to_o have_v your_o eye_n as_o well_o as_o your_o ear_n

great_a mystery_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o institution_n that_o every_o communicant_a must_v be_v where_o he_o may_v behold_v what_o be_v do_v he_o must_v

thou_o be_v not_o sinful_a because_o of_o thy_o worthyness_n but_o mere_o for_o his_o free_a grace_n another_o holy_a disposition_n in_o prayer_n shall_v be_v this_o the_o soul_n shall_v come_v with_o

god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o pick_v out_o his_o meaning_n god_n send_v fire_n down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o altar_n so_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o 9_o chap._n god_n send_v down_o
