master_n have_v wash_v your_o foot_n you_o also_o aught_o to_o wash_v one_o another_o foot_n for_o i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o example_n that_o you_o shall_v do_v even_o as_o i_o have_v do_v to_o

before_o we_o come_v to_o this_o supper_n which_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o our_o unite_n as_o well_o with_o jesus_n christ_n as_o with_o his_o church_n if_o there_o be_v any_o strife_n or_o quarrel_n between_o we_o &_o our_o brethren_n we_o must_v in_o all_o good_a and_o amiable_a sort_n be_v reconcile_v if_o we_o have_v be_v offend_v we_o must_v free_o &_o frank_o forgive_v our_o brethren_n yea_o our_o enemy_n as_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o forgive_v we_o and_o as_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n leave_v we_o a_o example_n of_o this_o love_n and_o charity_n when_o he_o pray_v to_o god_n his_o father_n for_o his_o enemy_n which_o put_v he_o to_o a_o cruel_a death_n whereof_o saint_n steven_n also_o give_v we_o a_o godly_a example_n also_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v

of_o the_o public_a peace_n of_o the_o land_n to_o entreat_v their_o subject_n gentle_o &_o moderate_o as_o also_o of_o the_o people_n who_o part_n be_v to_o honour_v the_o king_n to_o pay_v their_o

and_o last_o it_o behoove_v every_o one_o of_o we_o for_o his_o particular_a part_n to_o exercise_v charity_n in_o that_o vocation_n wherein_o god_n have_v place_v he_o in_o his_o eternal_a

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

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

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

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

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

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
