A10898 A treatise of the two sacraments of the Gospell: baptisme and the Supper of the Lord Divided into two parts. The first treating of the doctrine and nature of the sacraments in generall, and of these two in speciall; together with the circumstances attending them. The second containing the manner of our due preparation to the receiving of the Supper of the Lord; as also, of our behaviour in and after the same. Whereunto is annexed an appendix, shewing; first, how a Christian may finde his preparation to the Supper sweete and easie: secondly, the causes why the sacrament is so unworthily received by the worst; and so fruitefly by the better sort: with the remedies to avoyd them both. By D.R. B. of Divin. minister of the Gospell. D. R. (Daniel Rogers), 1573-1652. 1633 (1633) STC 21169; ESTC S112046 376,405 453

or_o till_o the_o sacrament_n come_v for_o than_o it_o must_v be_v do_v and_o then_o as_o good_a make_v but_o one_o work_n of_o it_o as_o many_o and_o spare_v ourselves_o a_o labour_n and_o repent_v of_o all_o together_o but_o he_o that_o be_v wise_a find_v out_o his_o error_n and_o sin_n daily_o will_v repent_v daily_o and_o not_o put_v it_o off_o so_o long_o till_o he_o have_v forget_v it_o and_o so_o the_o work_n will_v prove_v the_o more_o tedious_a beside_o daily_a repentance_n keep_v the_o heart_n fast_o and_o tender_a &_o preserve_v we_o wary_a of_o offend_v afterward_o even_o as_o

joy_n growth_n in_o grace_n but_o if_o at_o the_o supper_n we_o have_v feel_v these_o to_o revive_v in_o we_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o retain_v their_o work_n and_o power_n in_o we_o from_o day_n to_o
