give_v for_o we_o and_o the_o wine_n may_v notify_v and_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n shed_v for_o us._n wherein_o consist_v the_o fitness_n which_o true_a bread_n have_v to_o signify_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n it_o consist_v in_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o like_a as_o the_o bread_n be_v break_v so_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v break_v and_o tear_v upon_o the_o cross_n for_o we_o as_o paul_n say_v this_o bread_n it_o be_v the_o communiâ_fw-la of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n 2._o thâ_n like_a as_o bread_n have_v the_o force_n of_o nourish_v so_o the_o body_n oâ_n of_o christ_n give_v for_o we_o unâ_n death_n have_v power_n to_o refresh_v our_o conscience_n forlorn_a and_o almost_o spend_v and_o pine_v away_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n 3._o like_a as_o bread_n do_v not_o only_o nourish_v but_o it_o do_v also_o strengthen_v our_o body_n so_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o like_a manner_n deliver_v unto_o death_n for_o we_o have_v power_n continual_o to_o cherish_v and_o sustain_v our_o droop_a miserable_a conscience_n wherein_o consist_v the_o correspondency_n that_o wine_n have_v unto_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o three_o thing_n also_o first_o even_o as_o the_o wine_n be_v pour_v out_o into_o the_o cup_n and_o pour_v also_o out_o of_o the_o cup_n so_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n spring_v out_o of_o his_o body_n and_o be_v shed_v upon_o the_o cross_n second_o even_o as_o wine_n have_v the_o power_n of_o reviue_v and_o quicken_a or_o of_o heat_n and_o moisten_v of_o our_o body_n and_o of_o increase_v vital_a and_o animal_n spirit_n so_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v the_o power_n of_o quicken_a our_o conscience_n benumb_v and_o dry_v up_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n three_o even_o as_o wine_n make_v glad_a the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o have_v great_a virtue_n in_o it_o to_o cheer_v up_o the_o mind_n so_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o blood_n of_o

that_o person_n that_o come_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n second_o it_o consist_v in_o application_n whereby_o we_o appropriate_a unto_o ourselves_o christ_n passion_n steadfast_o believe_v that_o we_o as_o christ_n member_n be_v so_o make_v one_o with_o christ_n our_o head_n that_o as_o he_o suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n even_o so_o the_o pardon_n for_o all_o those_o sin_n for_o

from_o the_o former_a it_o be_v three_o fold_n first_o the_o consecration_n of_o ourselves_o that_o even_o as_o christ_n offer_v himself_o once_o upon_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o we_o so_o we_o shall_v in_o this_o public_a action_n of_o the_o church_n offer_v up_o ourselves_o and_o our_o whole_a life_n even_o all_o that_o be_v we_o unto_o god_n and_o his_o son_n second_o the_o public_a confession_n of_o the_o faith_n to_o wit_n that_o by_o these_o external_a symbol_n and_o token_n as_o by_o a_o military_a mark_n and_o badge_n we_o may_v testify_v unto_o what_o company_n we_o belong_v and_o to_o what_o religion_n we_o adjoine_v ourselves_o three_o the_o obligation_n of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v also_o by_o this_o public_a action_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o church_n bound_v ourselves_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n and_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o charity_n especial_o to_o they_o that_o be_v partaker_n with_o we_o in_o the_o same_o belief_n and_o religion_n and_o hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o the_o ancient_n call_v this_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d that_o be_v a_o love-feast_n and_o that_o they_o be_v always_o wont_a which_o come_v unto_o the_o supper_n to_o give_v some_o alm_n unto_o the_o poor_a that_o so_o they_o may_v testify_v how_o that_o by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v work_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a doctrine_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n draw_v out_o of_o the_o only_a word_n of_o god_n 18._o sy_v theol._n pag._n 459._o calu._n justit_fw-la lib._n 4._o ca._n 18._o and_o take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o sacrament_n but_o contrariwise_o the_o mass_n be_v a_o horrible_a monster_n a_o idol_n of_o antichrists_n own_o make_n consist_v of_o diverse_a horrible_a blasphemy_n whereby_o the_o whole_a dignity_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v deface_v and_o quite_o take_v away_o namely_o while_o they_o say_v that_o
a_o man_n self_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o sift_v of_o one_o conscience_n what_o a_o man_n think_v of_o himself_o and_o this_o examination_n be_v three_o fold_n which_o be_v the_o first_o examination_n the_o first_o examination_n be_v as_o touch_v our_o misery_n which_o again_o be_v either_o general_a namely_o when_o we_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o the_o misery_n of_o whole_a mankind_n which_o do_v betide_v we_o by_o the_o fall_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n which_o do_v consist_v in_o sin_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n or_o special_a when_o our_o thought_n be_v occupy_v about_o our_o own_o peculiar_a misery_n which_o examination_n stand_v in_o 2_o thing_n first_o in_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o those_o sin_n which_o thou_o every_o day_n have_v commit_v either_o by_o omit_v good_a thing_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v do_v or_o commit_v evil_o which_o shall_v have_v be_v leave_v undo_v and_o that_o both_o in_o respect_n of_o good_a work_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v as_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o prayer_n and_o daily_o invocate_a on_o god_n name_n which_o have_v be_v either_o altogether_o neglect_v or_o but_o cold_o perform_v together_o with_o a_o due_a and_o diligent_a consideration_n of_o those_o punishment_n both_o corporal_a and_o eternal_a which_o we_o may_v for_o those_o our_o sin_n fear_v will_v just_o fall_v upon_o us._n second_o in_o a_o serious_a grief_n &_o repent_v sorrow_n for_o those_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v i_o think_v very_o meet_v to_o make_v such_o a_o examination_n of_o ourselves_o on_o the_o three_o day_n as_o it_o be_v for_o example_n sake_n on_o friday_n before_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o on_o that_o day_n to_o be_v read_v both_o the_o first_o part_n of_o sacred_a theology_n and_o

the_o five_o and_o six_o chapter_n of_o matthew_n the_o 12_o and_o the_o follow_a chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n the_o latter_a chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galath_n

that_o devotion_n which_o ought_v to_o go_v before_o the_o use_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n now_o tell_v i_o also_o somewhat_o of_o that_o devotion_n which_o i_o ought_v to_o use_v at_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o holy_a communion_n that_o devotion_n be_v either_o external_a namely_o that_o we_o do_v sober_o and_o reverent_o approach_v unto_o this_o holy_a action_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o outward_a gesture_n or_o internal_a and_o principal_a which_o consist_v in_o these_o four_o point_n first_o that_o thou_o render_v unto_o christ_n most_o devout_a and_o hearty_a thanks_n for_o that_o his_o passion_n and_o death_n which_o for_o thy_o sake_n he_o suffer_v and_o sustain_v second_o that_o thou_o take_v the_o sacred_a bread_n do_v make_v sure_a thy_o faith_n and_o appropriate_v unto_o thyself_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n passion_n and_o so_o of_o the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o cross_n cherish_v &_o strengthen_v thy_o conscience_n with_o that_o assurance_n and_o then_o take_v the_o wine_n that_o thou_o bethink_v with_o thyself_o how_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v shed_v for_o thy_o sin_n and_o so_o withal_o reviue_v and_o fill_v with_o joy_n thy_o droop_a conscience_n three_o this_o devotion_n must_v be_v also_o in_o consideration_n of_o thy_o own_o self_n that_o thou_o do_v hereafter_o dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v thyself_o whole_o both_o in_o soul_n and_o in_o body_n and_o all_o thy_o work_n unto_o god_n four_o that_o thou_o do_v also_o remember_v the_o church_n in_o who_o sight_n thou_o use_v the_o lord_n supper_n firm_o resolve_v with_o thyself_o to_o abide_v always_o in_o that_o church_n and_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o charity_n unto_o the_o brethren_n for_o the_o better_a effect_v of_o these_o 4_o point_n of_o this_o internal_a devotion_n every_o one_o may_v use_v some_o pithy_a form_n of_o prayer_n about_o the_o very_a act_n of_o receive_v and_o so_o have_v we_o finish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o true_a preparation_n unto_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o together_o with_o it_o have_v lay_v down_o the_o sum_n and_o epitome_n of_o all_o divinity_n now_o what_o remain_v but_o that_o we_o earnest_o entreat_v of_o god_n since_o his_o word_n be_v a_o lantern_n unto_o our_o foot_n and_o a_o light_n to_o our_o path_n that_o he_o will_v enlighten_v our_o mind_n and_o open_v our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v the_o undoubted_a truth_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o be_v pious_o transform_v into_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o understand_v so_o that_o we_o may_v not_o in_o any_o thing_n displease_v his_o heavenly_a majesty_n and_o that_o for_o christ_n jesus_n sake_n our_o lord_n and_o only_a saviour_n so_o be_v it_o a_o brief_a direction_n how_o to_o examine_v ourselves_o before_o we_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n how_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o there_o and_o how_o to_o try_v ourselves_o afterward_o before_o we_o must_v dare_v to_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a communion_n we_o must_v diligent_o
