celebration_n of_o this_o holy_a supper_n motive_n 1_o first_o because_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o passeover_n solemn_o though_o but_o outward_o of_o many_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o free_v all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o israelite_n from_o have_v their_o first_o bear_v destroy_v from_o the_o egyptian_n so_o may_v the_o keep_n of_o this_o supper_n that_o succeed_v the_o passeover_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o preserv_v we_o from_o common_a calamity_n see_v our_o sacrament_n be_v not_o less_o but_o rather_o more_o effectual_a than_o they_o and_o withal_o consider_v that_o this_o be_v a_o approve_a

many_o be_v sick_a and_o weak_a and_o some_o die_v because_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o unworthy_a receive_n as_o we_o see_v 1_o cor._n 11.30_o their_o sin_n and_o judgement_n can_v be_v small_a that_o

do_v very_o believe_v that_o many_o abstain_v out_o of_o mere_a conscience_n fear_v that_o they_o shall_v do_v more_o hurt_n than_o good_a but_o conscientia_fw-la erronea_fw-la non_fw-la obli_fw-la get_v motive_n 3_o three_o it_o be_v without_o question_n and_o grant_v on_o all_o side_n that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n necessary_o incumbent_a upon_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o administer_v this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o special_a part_n of_o god_n public_a worship_n but_o it_o be_v question_v by_o most_o and_o flat_o deny_v by_o many_o both_o learned_a and_o godly_a man_n that_o a_o single_a minister_n have_v power_n of_o himself_o to_o suspend_v a_o scandalous_a person_n from_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v safe_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v his_o certain_a duty_n than_o neglect_v it_o whole_o and_o so_o in_o a_o kind_n suspend_v all_o good_a and_o bad_a worthy_a as_o well_o as_o unworthy_a motive_n 4_o last_o the_o often_o celebration_n of_o this_o sacred_a supper_n tend_v much_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o church_n good_a because_o herein_o be_v a_o thankful_a acknowledgement_n of_o chrst_a crucify_a for_o we_o and_o also_o a_o put_v god_n the_o father_n in_o mind_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o some_o suppose_v and_o of_o his_o covenant_n of_o grace_n seal_v with_o his_o son_n blood_n and_o also_o a_o renew_v our_o covenant_n with_o god_n as_o be_v former_o say_v that_o he_o may_v renew_v his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n upon_o we_o which_o thing_n be_v of_o singular_a use_n wherefore_o let_v we_o lament_v and_o lay_v to_o heart_n our_o former_a great_a neglect_n and_o labour_n for_o time_n to_o come_v to_o be_v more_o faithful_a and_o frequent_a in_o administration_n of_o this_o holy_a supper_n as_o without_o all_o popish_a superstition_n so_o with_o all_o reverence_n and_o godly_a simplicity_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o main_a defect_n in_o those_o corinthian_n that_o receive_v so_o unworthy_o and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o censure_n in_o this_o case_n let_v i_o commend_v to_o they_o the_o apostle_n practice_v in_o that_o 1_o cor._n

1_v cor._n 11.29_o add_v hereunto_o that_o the_o prelatical_a party_n who_o have_v be_v most_o backward_o in_o this_o business_n of_o examination_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o confirmation_n be_v

such_o as_o can_v say_v the_o catechism_n and_o that_o none_o shall_v be_v admit_v to_o the_o communion_n until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o can_v say_v the_o catechism_n and_o be_v confirm_v and_o therefore_o the_o minister_n be_v appoint_v to_o catechise_v such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v confirm_v and_o all_o father_n mother_n master_n and_o dame_n shall_v cause_v their_o child_n servant_n and_o

very_o few_o of_o they_o and_o likewise_o parent_n and_o master_n etc._n etc._n be_v backward_o to_o bring_v their_o child_n and_o servant_n to_o learn_v the_o catechism_n and_o bishop_n as_o

have_v they_o not_o want_v care_n and_o conscience_n hence_o most_o sort_v of_o people_n do_v still_o remain_v very_o ignorant_a of_o the_o ground_n of_o religion_n be_v altogether_o uncatechise_v wherefore_o let_v any_o man_n judge_n what_o need_v there_o be_v now_o of_o more_o than_o ordinary_a examination_n or_o catechise_n almost_o of_o all_o sort_n in_o regard_n of_o knowledge_n so_o that_o a_o great_a many_o that_o mutter_v and_o make_v much_o ado_n against_o examination_n as_o if_o it_o be_v so_o tyrannical_a and_o much_o worse_a than_o episcopal_a government_n do_v say_v they_o know_v not_o what_o for_o though_o episcopal_a government_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o office_n fall_v short_a in_o this_o particular_a yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o right_a

communion_n what_o shall_v be_v do_v with_o they_o sol._n 1_o i_o think_v they_o shall_v indeed_o be_v excommunicate_v from_o all_o public_a communion_n in_o holy_a ordinance_n those_o i_o mean_v that_o be_v prove_v scandalous_a and_o will_v not_o be_v admonish_v nor_o submit_v and_o acknowledge_v their_o crime_n and_o heinous_a offence_n second_o see_v that_o in_o most_o congregation_n there_o want_v sufficient_a power_n for_o authoritative_a excommunication_n i_o think_v it_o very_o difficult_a what_o to_o determine_v in_o this_o business_n and_o that_o because_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o judge_v what_o be_v scandal_n and_o also_o who_o be_v scandalous_a learned_a man_n be_v much_o divide_v in_o this_o particular_a therefore_o i_o conceive_v it_o too_o great_a a_o burden_n to_o be_v put_v upon_o the_o minister_n alone_o unless_o he_o be_v more_o infallible_a than_o most_o can_v possible_o be_v imagine_v or_o unless_o there_o be_v public_a law_n to_o regulate_v and_o
