like_o satan_n satan_n have_v desire_v to_o five_o thou_o say_v christ_n to_o peter_n so_o we_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o sift_v other_o even_o peter_n which_o be_v sift_v of_o satan_n long_v to_o sift_v john_n and_o know_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v before_o he_o karken_v to_o his_o own_o charge_n therefore_o the_o help_n of_o examination_n be_v a_o needful_a preservative_n although_o we_o be_v as_o sound_v as_o peter_n they_o which_o be_v suspect_v of_o crime_n do_v not_o examine_v themselves_o but_o be_v examine_v of_o other_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v partial_a but_o a_o christian_a must_v examine_v himself_o of_o his_o crime_n and_o be_v his_o own_o judge_n his_o own_o accuser_n &_o his_o own_o condemner_n for_o no_o man_n know_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o man_n 11._o which_o will_v condemn_v he_o if_o he_o be_v guilty_a and_o tell_v he_o all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v and_o with_o what_o mind_n he_o do_v it_o &_o what_o he_o deserve_v for_o it_o this_o be_v the_o private_a arraignment_n or_o close_a session_n when_o conscience_n sit_v in_o her_o chair_n to_o examine_v and_o accuse_v and_o judge_v and_o condemn_v herself_o because_o she_o will_v not_o be_v condemn_v of_o god_n thus_o holy_a man_n have_v keep_v their_o session_n at_o home_n and_o make_v their_o heart_n the_o foreman_n of_o the_o jury_n and_o examine_v themselves_o as_o we_o examine_v other_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n stand_v at_o the_o door_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o examine_v every_o thought_n before_o it_o go_v in_o and_o at_o the_o door_n of_o their_o lip_n to_o examine_v every_o word_n before_o it_o go_v out_o whereby_o they_o escape_v a_o thousand_o sin_n which_o we_o commit_v as_o though_o we_o have_v no_o other_o work_n so_o thou_o shall_v sit_v in_o judgement_n of_o thyself_o and_o call_v thy_o thought_n and_o speech_n &_o action_n to_o give_v in_o evidence_n against_o thou_o whether_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n or_o a_o infidel_n a_o son_n or_o a_o bastard_n a_o servant_n or_o a_o rebel_n a_o protestant_n or_o a_o hypocrite_n if_o thou_o find_v not_o faith_n nor_o fear_n nor_o love_n nor_o zeal_n when_o thou_o examine_v thyself_o let_v no_o man_n make_v thou_o believe_v that_o thou_o be_v holy_a that_o thou_o be_v sanctify_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n that_o thou_o be_v a_o believer_n that_o thou_o be_v a_o gospeller_n because_o thou_o be_v worse_o than_o thou_o seem_v thyself_o for_o every_o man_n be_v partial_a to_o himself_o when_o he_o be_v most_o humble_a therefore_o if_o my_o heart_n tell_v i_o that_o i_o do_v love_n god_n who_o shall_v i_o believe_v before_o my_o self_n 3._o as_o solomon_n faith_n no_o man_n can_v search_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n so_o paul_n say_v no_o man_n know_v the_o spirit_n of_o any_o man_n 11._o but_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o man_n that_o be_v no_o man_n feel_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n so_o well_o as_o himself_o and_o yet_o himself_o although_o he_o have_v live_v with_o it_o ever_o since_o he_o be_v bear_v do_v not_o know_v his_o own_o heart_n unless_o he_o examine_v it_o narrow_o no_o more_o than_o he_o know_v his_o own_o bone_n or_o his_o vein_n or_o his_o sinew_n or_o his_o artery_n or_o his_o muskle_n how_o many_o be_v in_o his_o body_n or_o where_o they_o lie_v or_o what_o they_o do_v this_o seem_v strange_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o know_v his_o own_o heart_n yet_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o best_a of_o we_o all_o do_v not_o know_v his_o own_o heart_n though_o he_o have_v dwell_v with_o it_o from_o his_o mother_n womb_n for_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n 55._o even_o to_o his_o disciple_n you_o know_v not_o of_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v that_o be_v you_o think_v better_o of_o yourselves_o than_o you_o be_v and_o know_v not_o what_o the_o clock_n strike_v within_o there_o be_v a_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n and_o there_o be_v a_o knowledge_n without_o zeal_n there_o be_v a_o faith_n without_o obedience_n and_o there_o be_v a_o obedience_n without_o faith_n there_o be_v a_o love_n without_o fear_n and_o there_o be_v a_o fear_n with_o love_n and_o both_o be_v hypocrite_n therefore_o as_o dalilah_n search_v where_o sampsons_n strength_n lay_v 6._o so_o let_v every_o man_n search_v where_o his_o weakness_n lie_v and_o always_o be_v fill_v the_o empty_a gap_n now_o this_o examination_n must_v go_v before_o we_o to_o the_o sacrament_n every_o meat_n work_v according_a as_o it_o be_v digest_v &_o this_o meat_n work_v according_a as_o it_o be_v receive_v therefore_o when_o christ_n have_v teach_v what_o we_o shall_v do_v in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n now_o paul_n show_v what_o we_o shall_v do_v before_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o but_o some_o will_v come_v before_o they_o examine_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n have_v authority_n to_o put_v by_o lame_a and_o blind_a sacrifice_n so_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v power_n to_o put_v by_o lame_a and_o blind_a receiver_n and_o he_o which_o do_v not_o so_o give_v a_o sword_n into_o their_o hand_n to_o kill_v they_o self_n if_o the_o pastor_n will_v use_v this_o examination_n due_o it_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o make_v every_o one_o examine_v himself_o lest_o he_o be_v put_v by_o like_o non_fw-la proficient_o as_o liphtah_n discern_v the_o ephramite_n because_o when_o they_o shall_v pronounce_v shibbole_v they_o pronounce_v sibbole_v so_o all_o which_o can_v pronounce_v christ_n that_o be_v give_v a_o reason_n of_o their_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v thrust_v from_o this_o table_n there_o be_v hear_v 18._o and_o a_o preparative_n before_o hear_v there_o be_v a_o pray_v and_o a_o preparative_n before_o pray_v there_o be_v a_o receive_n 17._o and_o a_o preparative_n before_o receive_v which_o if_o it_o be_v want_v the_o receiver_n receave_v uncomfortablie_o the_o prayer_n pray_v idle_o the_o hearer_n hear_v unfruitefullie_o like_o those_o which_o eat_v before_o hunger_n and_o drink_v before_o thirst_n this_o preparative_n before_o hear_v and_o pray_v and_o receive_v do_v signify_v that_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o physic_n in_o these_o three_o for_o preparative_n be_v ministre●_fw-fr 〈◊〉_d way_n before_o physic_n &_o as_o the_o preparative_n which_o go_v before_o make_v way_n to_o the_o physic_n or_o else_o it_o will_v do_v no_o good_a but_o hurt_n so_o unless_o examination_n go_v before_o the_o sacrament_n we_o seal_v up_o the_o threaten_n which_o be_v write_v against_o we_o in_o stead_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o for_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o seal_n and_o therefore_o seal_v good_a or_o evil_n as_o every_o other_o seal_n do_v the_o preparative_n before_o we_o receive_v be_v to_o examine_v 76._o as_o john_n be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n examination_n so_o examination_n be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o the_o sacrament_n like_o the_o harbinger_n which_o ride_v before_o to_o prepare_v the_o room_n 5._o for_o if_o job_n command_v his_o son_n to_o sanctify_v themselves_o before_o they_o do_v come_v to_o his_o sacrifice_n how_o shall_v we_o sanctify_v ourselves_o before_o we_o come_v to_o christ_n sacrament_n wherein_o we_o be_v command_v to_o do_v as_o the_o lord_n himself_o do_v which_o institute_v it_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o chamber_n wherein_o christ_n do_v institute_v this_o sacrament_n 12._o be_v trim_v the_o chamber_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n receive_v this_o sacrament_n be_v trim_v if_o judas_n chamber_n his_o inner_a chamber_n have_v be_v trim_v so_o to_o he_o have_v receive_v this_o sacrament_n with_o as_o much_o comfort_n as_o the_o other_o disciple_n do_v but_o because_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o trim_v therefore_o he_o be_v the_o first_o which_o be_v condemn_v for_o the_o unworthy_a receive_n of_o this_o sacrament_n 6._o adam_n do_v not_o think_v that_o death_n have_v be_v in_o a_o apple_n so_o you_o will_v not_o think_v that_o death_n shall_v be_v in_o bread_n but_o as_o a_o coal_n have_v fire_n in_o it_o beside_o the_o coal_n itself_o which_o fire_n do_v either_o warm_a or_o burn_v so_o this_o meat_n have_v another_o meat_n in_o it_o beside_o that_o which_o be_v see_v which_o do_v either_o save_v or_o destroy_v therefore_o he_o which_o come_v to_o this_o spiritual_a meat_n must_v examine_v whether_o he_o have_v a_o spiritual_a mouth_n as_o well_o as_o a_o carnal_a mouth_n or_o else_o he_o shall_v receive_v no_o more_o than_o he_o see_v and_o that_o which_o he_o see_v not_o shall_v destroy_v he_o 22._o no_o man_n say_v christ_n put_v new_a wine_n into_o old_a vessel_n lest_o the_o vessel_n break_v and_o the_o wine_n leak_n this_o wine_n be_v new_a wine_n therefore_o
