even_o until_o our_o last_o breathe_v we_o shall_v have_v need_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n that_o it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o forgive_v our_o hourly_o sin_n through_o his_o son_n our_o only_a lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n but_o yet_o the_o imperfection_n and_o iniquity_n abide_v in_o we_o aught_o to_o prevail_v so_o little_a to_o the_o withdraw_n of_o our_o seve_v from_o god_n that_o if_o we_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a and_o grieve_a for_o the_o same_o they_o shall_v rather_o cause_v we_o to_o draw_v near_o unto_o he_o &_o to_o this_o holy_a banquet_n to_o the_o end_n that_o like_o miserable_a starve_a creature_n we_o may_v receive_v jesus_n christ_n with_o the_o more_o greediness_n who_o be_v the_o true_a and_o only_a food_n and_o nourishment_n of_o our_o soul_n thirdlie_o albeit_o a_o perfect_a faith_n repentance_n give_v of_o thanks_n and_o love_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v come_v worthy_o to_o the_o supper_n yet_o they_o must_v be_v all_o true_a &_o not_o counterfeit_v they_o must_v come_v from_o the_o heart_n and_o from_o the_o spirit_n our_o faith_n may_v not_o be_v feign_v our_o repentance_n may_v not_o be_v dissemble_v as_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o hypocite_v the_o thanks_n which_o we_o give_v to_o god_n may_v not_o proceed_v only_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n neither_o must_v we_o love_v our_o brethren_n only_o in_o word_n &_o not_o in_o deed_n but_o the_o whole_a profession_n of_o our_o faith_n &_o christian_a life_n must_v above_o all_o thing_n be_v far_o remoove_v from_o vain_a boast_n and_o dissemble_v that_o we_o may_v take_v more_o care_n &_o pain_n to_o be_v effectualy_a &_o before_o god_n then_o to_o be_v esteem_v &_o take_v for_o good_a christian_n before_o man_n against_o those_o that_o witting_o and_o willing_o abstain_v from_o the_o lord_n his_o supper_n as_o they_o be_v many_o which_o fault_n in_o come_v unworthy_o to_o the_o supper_n so_o there_o be_v many_o which_o offend_v of_o the_o contrary_a namely_o in_o not_o come_v at_o all_o nor_o present_v themselves_o to_o the_o say_v holy_a banquet_n fear_v as_o they_o say_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o unworthilie_o and_o so_o consequent_o to_o be_v culpable_a and_o guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o let_v they_o know_v which_o abstain_v of_o set_a purpose_n from_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o it_o be_v no_o less_o a_o vice_n through_o unthankfulnes_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o holy_a meat_n which_o god_n set_v before_o we_o in_o the_o supper_n to_o abstain_v than_o it_o be_v to_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o even_o as_o the_o patient_a which_o be_v dangerous_o sick_a if_o he_o make_v no_o account_n of_o the_o physician_n his_o receipt_n and_o order_n deserve_v no_o less_o blame_n than_o he_o that_o abuse_v the_o same_o receipt_n &_o diet_n and_o do_v not_o use_v it_o with_o discretion_n &_o moderation_n according_a as_o it_o be_v order_v by_o the_o physician_n and_o let_v they_o not_o therefore_o abuse_v &_o flatter_v themselves_o as_o if_o hereby_o they_o may_v escape_v unblameable_a before_o god_n and_o man_n see_v it_o be_v a_o case_n most_o clear_a &_o a_o thing_n most_o certain_a that_o so_o gross_a unthankfulness_n can_v be_v currant_n nor_o by_o any_o mean_v possible_a bear_v excuse_v for_o first_o they_o witting_o despise_v the_o commandment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o say_v to_o all_o that_o be_v he_o do_v this_o take_v and_o eat_v second_o they_o set_v light_a by_o the_o happy_a memory_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o say_v to_o the_o faithful_a that_o they_o shall_v celebrate_v and_o keep_v solemn_a the_o supper_n in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o three_o they_o contemn_v the_o price_n of_o their_o redemption_n to_o wit_n the_o precious_a body_n &_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v give_v and_o part_v to_o all_o true_a christian_n in_o the_o supper_n as_o it_o be_v write_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o your_o sin_n last_o they_o despise_v the_o church_n and_o the_o union_n thereof_o &_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n excommunicate_v themselves_o from_o the_o fellowship_n that_o the_o faithful_a have_v in_o the_o supper_n as_o well_o with_o jesus_n christ_n as_o one_o with_o another_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o these_o contemner_n of_o the_o lord_n his_o supper_n do_v gross_o fault_n and_o grievous_o sin_n in_o this_o behalf_n and_o be_v altogether_o void_a and_o unworthy_a of_o excuse_n let_v we_o therefore_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o follow_v not_o their_o example_n except_o we_o will_v run_v into_o the_o like_a danger_n with_o they_o that_o for_o their_o ox_n ferme_n wife_n and_o traffic_v of_o merchandise_n refuse_v to_o come_v to_o the_o marriage_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o they_o that_o come_v unworthy_o to_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v of_o they_o that_o sin_n against_o the_o first_o article_n of_o the_o first_o preparation_n which_o consist_v in_o true_a faith_n all_o atheist_n unbeliever_n &_o ignorant_a

final_o all_o such_o as_o make_v it_o but_o a_o ordinary_a &_o common_a matter_n to_o swear_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n or_o by_o their_o faith_n &_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o vain_a &_o fruitless_a matter_n all_o such_o i_o say_v may_v not_o presume_v to_o touch_v the_o holy_a table_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o they_o have_v not_o true_a affiance_n and_o trust_n in_o god_n without_o the_o which_o we_o can_v not_o be_v member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o so_o consequent_o can_v not_o be_v fit_a &_o able_a to_o receive_v life_n of_o he_o who_o be_v the_o only_a head_n and_o chief_a of_o all_o the_o faithful_a of_o those_o that_o sin_n against_o the_o second_o article_n of_o the_o second_o preparation_n which_o consist_v of_o repentance_n all_o such_o as_o lead_v a_o odious_a a_o
