testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o you_o shall_v observe_v that_o the_o text_n say_v he_o drink_v it_o and_o say_v drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o so_o that_o this_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n for_o a_o minister_n to_o go_v up_o and_o down_o and_o to_o give_v it_o into_o every_o man_n hand_n certain_o this_o be_v not_o so_o from_o the_o beginning_n this_o be_v a_o way_n of_o man_n own_o devise_v for_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o cup_n to_o be_v give_v into_o every_o body_n hand_n by_o the_o minister_n christ_n do_v but_o give_v it_o once_o he_o give_v it_o to_o they_o all_o and_o say_v drink_v you_o all_o of_o this_o so_o it_o be_v do_v quest_n but_o you_o will_v say_v be_v it_o not_o better_o for_o it_o to_o be_v give_v into_o every_o one_o hand_n answ_n no_o because_o that_o the_o give_v of_o it_o once_o for_o all_o do_v signify_v more_o full_o the_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n that_o they_o have_v together_o as_o at_o a_o table_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o every_o bit_n of_o meat_n must_v be_v give_v to_o every_o one_o particular_o no_o but_o the_o dish_n must_v be_v set_v before_o they_o and_o they_o must_v take_v it_o themselves_o indeed_o if_o they_o be_v child_n you_o cut_v every_o piece_n of_o meat_n and_o give_v it_o into_o their_o hand_n or_o mouth_n but_o that_o be_v suitable_a to_o a_o fellowship_n at_o table_n and_o communion_n to_o have_v the_o meat_n set_v before_o they_o be_v blessed_v and_o then_o for_o all_o to_o partake_v of_o it_o and_o beside_o this_o giving_z it_o into_o every_o one_o hand_n certain_o it_o come_v to_o we_o from_o a_o popish_a and_o superstitious_a conceit_n of_o the_o papist_n for_o the_o papist_n will_v give_v it_o into_o their_o mouth_n because_o the_o people_n must_v not_o defile_v it_o with_o their_o hand_n and_o it_o be_v to_o bring_v more_o reverence_n to_o the_o sacrament_n now_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o danger_n for_o to_o bring_v in_o man_n device_n for_o to_o cause_v more_o reverence_n we_o be_v to_o look_v to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n he_o give_v it_o once_o and_o say_v drink_v you_o of_o it_o in_o general_n to_o they_o all_o and_o so_o the_o minister_n shall_v do_v and_o beside_o there_o be_v this_o in_o it_o more_o and_o one_o will_v wonder_v that_o minister_n shall_v give_v it_o in_o particular_a and_o not_o in_o general_a to_o the_o church_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n minister_n may_v abundant_o ease_v themselves_o of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o charge_n and_o guilt_n for_o upon_o this_o ground_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o a_o minister_n though_o as_o a_o eminent_a officer_n he_o be_v to_o look_v to_o his_o congregation_n that_o they_o be_v fit_a yet_o the_o truth_n

the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v to_o thou_o when_o he_o know_v they_o be_v profane_a and_o wicked_a it_o concern_v the_o minister_n to_o look_v that_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v a_o lie_n but_o now_o when_o the_o minister_n give_v it_o general_o to_o the_o church_n take_v eat_v and_o take_v drink_v he_o give_v it_o particular_o to_o no_o body_n now_o than_o his_o charge_n be_v divide_v to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o body_n that_o be_v unworthy_a let_v the_o church_n look_v to_o it_o as_o well_o as_o he_o though_o he_o as_o a_o eminent_a officer_n it_o be_v more_o especial_o in_o particular_a his_o duty_n then_o any_o other_o heretofore_o the_o charge_n will_v lie_v much_o upon_o the_o minister_n but_o the_o minister_n according_a to_o the_o institution_n shall_v give_v the_o sacrament_n to_o no_o particular_a but_o in_o general_a to_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v but_o any_o particular_a that_o the_o minister_n upon_o a_o particular_a knowledge_n do_v know_v to_o be_v naught_o he_o may_v in_o great_a part_n discharge_v himself_o as_o profess_v against_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a man_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n alone_o to_o keep_v any_o from_o the_o sacrament_n but_o if_o so_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v profess_v against_o such_o and_o such_o man_n the_o church_n must_v join_v with_o he_o to_o labour_v to_o keep_v they_o from_o the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o be_v the_o next_o thing_n for_o the_o institution_n christ_n give_v it_o not_o into_o any_o particular_a man_n hand_n but_o he_o give_v it_o to_o all_o say_v drink_n and_o eat_v you_o all_o of_o it_o a_o three_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v for_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o that_o all_o the_o while_n the_o communicant_n be_v take_v eat_a and_o drink_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n they_o shall_v all_o of_o they_o that_o while_o have_v their_o thought_n exercise_v about_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o be_v the_o institution_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o action_n intermingle_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n nothing_o but_o mind_v the_o work_n that_o you_o be_v about_o that_o be_v to_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o discern_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n not_o only_a when_o you_o take_v yourselves_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o when_o you_o see_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n break_v or_o pour_v forth_o and_o you_o see_v other_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n all_o that_o while_n you_o shall_v be_v think_v of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n and_o consider_v what_o these_o outward_a element_n do_v signify_v and_o that_o they_o do_v seal_v the_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n to_o be_v sing_v of_o psalm_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n while_o the_o sacrament_n be_v receive_v and_o so_o to_o have_v your_o thought_n about_o other_o thing_n sing_v of_o psalm_n in_o its_o due_a time_n be_v a_o good_a thing_n but_o for_o you_o to_o do_v it_o at_o that_o time_n when_o as_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v present_v before_o you_o and_o christ_n call_v you_o to_o look_v upon_o his_o body_n and_o to_o think_v upon_o what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v this_o be_v no_o seasonable_a time_n of_o sing_v and_o if_o you_o read_v the_o institution_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n after_o all_o be_v do_v the_o text_n say_v they_o sing_v a_o hymn_n so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n it_o be_v after_o the_o action_n be_v do_v of_o eat_v and_o drink_v then_o for_o the_o church_n to_o join_v together_o and_o sing_v a_o psalm_n in_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o then_o they_o must_v mind_v all_o the_o same_o thing_n together_o for_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n that_o look_v what_o one_o do_v all_o must_v mind_v together_o for_o when_o one_o part_n sing_v and_o the_o other_o be_v wait_v for_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n this_o be_v not_o suitable_a to_o the_o holy_a table_n action_n and_o that_o communion_n that_o god_n require_v of_o we_o though_o the_o thing_n in_o themselves_o be_v both_o good_a that_o be_v do_v yet_o when_o we_o be_v about_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n be_v it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n for_o communion_n all_o be_v to_o be_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o so_o when_o all_o have_v do_v eat_v and_o drink_v then_o for_o all_o to_o join_v together_o in_o sing_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n now_o it_o may_v be_v this_o at_o first_o seem_v strange_a to_o many_o yet_o certain_o observe_v this_o do_v but_o keep_v to_o the_o institution_n in_o the_o sacrament_n though_o you_o may_v think_v it_o a_o more_o mean_a way_n yet_o you_o will_v find_v a_o great_a beauty_n in_o this_o ordinance_n than_o ever_o you_o find_v in_o all_o your_o life_n for_o the_o more_o we_o keep_v to_o christ_n institution_n and_o mingle_v nothing_o of_o our_o own_o the_o more_o glory_n and_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n do_v appear_v in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o when_o any_o man_n shall_v mix_v any_o of_o his_o own_o invention_n though_o he_o may_v do_v it_o to_o a_o good_a end_n and_o think_v to_o add_v to_o and_o put_v a_o

come_v to_o seal_v a_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o formal_o and_o explicit_o take_v a_o oath_n yet_o they_o bind_v themselves_o in_o a_o holy_a covenant_n which_o have_v

a_o communion_n of_o saint_n what_o if_o wicked_a man_n do_v come_v there_o will_v that_o hinder_v we_o from_o sanctify_a god_n name_n in_o partake_v of_o the_o sacrament_n with_o they_o do_v not_o

therefore_o what_o if_o wicked_a man_n be_v there_o do_v that_o hinder_v answ_n i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n there_o have_v be_v wicked_a man_n and_o

to_o take_v two_o or_o three_o and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o reform_v than_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o tell_v the_o church_n to_o tell_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n when_o they_o meet_v together_o for_o so_o the_o word_n church_n do_v signify_v and_o we_o find_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 5._o chap._n that_o when_o there_o be_v a_o incestuous_a person_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o it_o be_v

you_o have_v not_o discharge_v your_o conscience_n and_o so_o you_o come_v to_o be_v defile_v and_o you_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o this_o ordinance_n because_o you_o have_v not_o do_v to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o your_o duty_n for_o the_o cast_v out_o of_o those_o wicked_a man_n and_o mark_v in_o 2_o cor._n 5._o 7._o there_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o church_n bid_v they_o

to_o purge_v he_o out_o and_o we_o do_v not_o do_v it_o as_o in_o all_o communion_n of_o saint_n there_o be_v a_o duty_n and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o but_o may_v do_v something_o towards_o
