or_o believe_v to_o be_v in_o other_o to_o who_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o want_n thereof_o do_v not_o make_v man_n unworthy_a communicant_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o all_o christian_n

of_o their_o faith_n in_o and_o communion_n with_o christ_n yea_o such_o complacency_n as_o well_o as_o extraordinary_a act_n of_o love_n and_o adoration_n do_v they_o show_v therein_o that_o one_o will_v imagine_v that_o their_o soul_n be_v carry_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o that_o with_o st._n stephen_n they_o be_v not_o only_o view_v their_o saviour_n by_o faith_n in_o figure_n and_o

be_v apt_a to_o believe_v that_o if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o they_o mind_v nothing_o else_o and_o be_v go_v up_o to_o be_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n but_o however_o we_o may_v admire_v this_o in_o other_o we_o be_v not_o to_o judge_v those_o as_o unworthy_a that_o can_v reach_v thereto_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v so_o judge_v we_o shall_v not_o only_o condemn_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o generation_n of_o god_n child_n but_o shall_v cast_v a_o stumbling-block_n before_o they_o and_o render_v their_o case_n worse_o than_o it_o be_v for_o as_o the_o save_a influence_n and_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n may_v be_v where_o there_o want_v these_o extraordinary_a impulse_n and_o consolation_n so_o a_o man_n may_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n to_o very_o
