Hellens, London / by Henry Hesketh ...	Hesketh, Henry, 1637?-1710.	1689 (1689)	Wing H1607; ESTC R14433	108,608	240

it_o or_o so_o gross_o irreverent_a and_o careless_a as_o not_o to_o consider_v it_o for_o have_v they_o do_v either_o much_o more_o both_o they_o can_v hardly_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o such_o

unworthy_o be_v in_o this_o place_n the_o discern_a the_o lord_n body_n will_v secure_v man_n from_o it_o and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v plain_a in_o these_o follow_a consideration_n 1._o the_o not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n be_v here_o make_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o eat_n and_o drink_v unworthy_o this_o i_o have_v clear_v already_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n both_o of_o the_o sin_n and_o punishment_n too_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n will_v secure_v from_o both_o for_o if_o man_n eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o because_o they_o do_v not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n then_o if_o they_o do_v discern_v it_o they_o will_v not_o eat_v unworthy_o for_o the_o old_a rule_n be_v true_a in_o morality_n as_o well_o as_o nature_n and_o will_v hold_v in_o this_o instance_n as_o well_o as_o other_o take_v away_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n will_v cease_v 2._o but_o second_o this_o appear_v clear_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n for_o there_o be_v a_o direct_a and_o immediate_a virtue_n and_o power_n in_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n to_o cause_v in_o man_n all_o those_o qualification_n that_o render_v they_o meet_v for_o this_o service_n and_o sufficient_o secure_v they_o from_o eat_v unworthy_o as_o the_o corinthian_n do_v yea_o and_o from_o do_v so_o in_o any_o sense_n like_o unto_o they_o for_o first_o in_o general_n if_o man_n discern_v the_o lord_n body_n they_o will_v present_o perceive_v that_o this_o be_v a_o most_o sacred_a solemn_a service_n of_o religion_n and_o not_o any_o ordinary_a thing_n and_o by_o this_o will_v not_o only_o be_v admonish_v of_o that_o reverence_n and_o devotion_n that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v perform_v with_o but_o strong_o induce_v to_o it_o man_n natural_o have_v some_o sense_n of_o reverence_n and_o awe_n upon_o their_o mind_n when_o they_o be_v address_v themselves_o to_o devotion_n and_o when_o they_o engage_v into_o the_o service_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o they_o will_v have_v here_o also_o when_o they_o consider_v what_o a_o solemn_a service_n of_o religion_n this_o be_v and_o have_v always_o be_v esteem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o true_o they_o can_v hardly_o be_v otherwise_o if_o they_o have_v any_o sense_n of_o religion_n or_o any_o dread_n of_o the_o almighty_a upon_o their_o spirit_n and_o second_o if_o man_n discern_v the_o lord_n body_n here_o so_o as_o to_o understand_v the_o special_a reason_n of_o this_o institution_n that_o it_o be_v to_o commemorate_v the_o mighty_a love_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o die_v for_o we_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o religious_a solemn_a representation_n of_o his_o meritorious_a bitter_a death_n and_o passion_n for_o our_o sin_n they_o will_v find_v that_o it_o will_v even_o natural_o beget_v in_o they_o repentance_n and_o faith_n and_o joy_n and_o charity_n and_o thankfulness_n and_o a_o very_a high_a sense_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n towards_o poor_a sinner_n these_o be_v the_o high_a and_o meet_a preparation_n for_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o those_o qualification_n that_o fit_v we_o for_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o high_a argument_n and_o most_o powerful_a mean_n of_o effect_v these_o in_o man_n that_o god_n almighty_n have_v to_o offer_v or_o can_v use_v with_o they_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o count_v it_o irresistible_a and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o can_v miss_v of_o effect_n upon_o man_n that_o consider_v it_o 2_o cor._n 5.14_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o because_o we_o thus_o judge_v that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o than_o all_o be_v dead_a etc._n etc._n and_o true_o if_o man_n do_v thus_o judge_v if_o they_o do_v serious_o reflect_v upon_o the_o transcendent_a and_o amaze_a love_n of_o christ_n in_o die_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o sinner_n it_o will_v even_o constrain_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o faith_n and_o love_n almost_o whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o if_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v irresistible_a in_o any_o argument_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v certain_o so_o in_o this_o and_o i_o will_v adventure_v to_o say_v it_o be_v so_o far_o so_o here_o that_o those_o be_v monster_n of_o man_n or_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v thing_n as_o man_n that_o can_v resist_v and_o defeat_v the_o effect_n of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v so_o sensible_a a_o commemoration_n of_o this_o death_n the_o very_a visible_a representation_n of_o it_o the_o evident_a crucify_a of_o christ_n before_o our_o eye_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v gal._n 3.1_o the_o true_a discern_v of_o it_o and_o of_o the_o lord_n body_n in_o it_o will_v be_v of_o the_o same_o effect_n to_o produce_v all_o these_o thing_n in_o we_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o experience_n of_o good_a man_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o say_v let_v they_o tell_v you_o what_o a_o mighty_a efficacy_n they_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n to_o this_o purpose_n and_o how_o powerful_o they_o feel_v their_o heart_n move_v to_o these_o thing_n by_o it_o and_o true_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o natural_a causality_n of_o thing_n we_o shall_v be_v incline_v to_o think_v it_o almost_o impossible_a it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o let_v we_o consider_v they_o a_o little_a single_o 1._o as_o for_o

do_v what_o can_v effect_v this_o in_o i_o if_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n do_v not_o can_v i_o see_v the_o lord_n body_n break_v and_o his_o blood_n pour_v out_o as_o i_o do_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n for_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v the_o great_a atonement_n to_o the_o divine_a justice_n for_o sin_n i_o say_v can_v i_o see_v this_o without_o a_o sorrowful_a reflection_n upon_o my_o own_o sin_n which_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o this_o suffering_n or_o can_v i_o doubt_v what_o a_o mighty_a evil_a sin_n be_v which_o can_v not_o be_v expiate_v by_o a_o mean_a sacrifice_n than_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o of_o how_o dangerous_a and_o insupportable_a effect_n that_o punishment_n must_v be_v which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n can_v not_o bear_v without_o horror_n and_o astonishment_n without_o faint_v and_o death_n or_o last_o can_v i_o consider_v all_o this_o without_o some_o resolution_n and_o purpose_n to_o reform_v from_o sin_n and_o to_o beware_v of_o that_o who_o consequence_n and_o issue_n i_o see_v to_o be_v so_o dreadful_a and_o insupportable_a i_o be_o sure_a i_o can_v consider_v these_o thing_n but_o they_o will_v have_v some_o effect_n upon_o my_o mind_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a if_o they_o have_v not_o i_o do_v not_o due_o consider_v they_o 2._o and_o as_o for_o faith_n whether_o it_o respect_v the_o gracious_a declaration_n or_o kind_a promise_n or_o terrible_a threaten_n in_o the_o gospel_n or_o all_o these_o can_v i_o doubt_v the_o truth_n of_o any_o of_o these_o when_o i_o see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n die_v to_o confirm_v it_o can_v i_o question_v whether_o god_n be_v gracious_a and_o ready_a to_o forgive_v sin_n when_o i_o see_v he_o expose_v his_o own_o son_n to_o death_n that_o he_o may_v with_o honour_n do_v so_o can_v i_o doubt_v his_o promise_n to_o all_o penitent_a sinner_n when_o i_o see_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o seal_v in_o his_o son_n blood_n or_o can_v i_o think_v that_o the_o divine_a threaten_n of_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n against_o all_o impenitent_a wretch_n will_v not_o most_o certain_o be_v execute_v on_o they_o when_o i_o see_v god_n inexorable_a to_o his_o own_o son_n and_o let_v he_o suffer_v and_o die_v rather_o than_o permit_v sin_n to_o pass_v unpunished_a in_o a_o word_n the_o whole_a covenant_n that_o god_n have_v make_v with_o man_n the_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o

of_o god_n which_o be_v such_o a_o assurance_n and_o confirmation_n of_o its_o truth_n as_o can_v never_o fail_v we_o and_o beyond_o which_o our_o faith_n can_v desire_v a_o great_a 3._o and_o then_o as_o to_o a_o mighty_a sense_n of_o the_o

to_o expiate_v and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o pardon_v the_o failure_n of_o they_o and_o have_v we_o not_o such_o a_o compassionate_a mediator_n to_o intercede_v for_o and_o such_o a_o merciful_a
