we_o know_v clear_o provoke_v god_n to_o give_v we_o no_o more_o light_n since_o we_o improve_v not_o what_o we_o have_v chap._n 3._o self-examination_n require_v of_o all_o before_o partake_v the_o second_o inference_n be_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v the_o communion_n of_o christ●_n body_n and_o blood_n to_o the_o believer_n then_o all_o who●_n partake_v be_v oblige_v to_o prepare_v for_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n particular_o to_o examine_v themselves_o before_o they_o eat_v i_o shall_v therefore_o by_o the_o lord_n help_v first_o giu_v some_o reason_n why_o this_o examine_v a_o man_n self_n must_v no●_n be_v omit_v 2._o answer_v some_o objection_n make_v against_o it_o 3_o show_v the_o manner_n how_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v perform_v and_o in_o the_o last_o place_n point_v at_o these_o head_n wherein_o we_o be_v chief_o to_o examine_v ourselves_o before_o we_o partake_v for_o the_o first_o the_o reason_n why_o every_o man_n shall_v examine_v before_o he_o eat_v be_v these_o first_o it_o be_v express_o command_v 1_o cor._n 11._o 28._o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v here_o be_v no_o exception_n of_o one_o by_o another_o and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v make_v none_o it_o be_v not_o say_v let_v a_o poor_a ignorant_a man_n examine_v himself_o but_o man_n of_o knowledge_n need_v not_o it_o be_v not_o say_v let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o the_o first_o time_n he_o receive_v only_o but_o whensoever_o he_o be_v to_o eat_v let_v he_o examine_v himself_o therefore_o the_o neglect_n of_o this_o one_o duty_n will_v render_v a_o man_n guilty_a before_o god_n take_v care_n how_o you_o enter_v the_o work_n if_o you_o go_v out_o of_o the_o road_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o way_n you_o shall_v not_o easy_o know_v where_o to_o fall_v into_o it_o again_o 2._o the_o transaction_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o partaker_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v of_o the_o great_a importance_n for_o a_o man_n soul_n for_o either_o he_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o unworthy_a receive_n or_o be_v bless_v with_o the_o seal_n of_o god_n for_o his_o eternal_a happiness_n if_o he_o true_o receive_v christ_n therefore_o previous_a examination_n be_v most_o necessary_a 3_o it_o be_v god_n great_a mercy_n to_o our_o soul_n that_o he_o require_v this_o duty_n of_o examine_v ourselves_o and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o burden_n but_o a_o mean_a for_o prevent_v our_o ruin_n for_o if_o after_o examination_n you_o find_v yourselves_o in_o the_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n and_o in_o the_o broad_a way_n to_o the_o pit_n it_o be_v your_o mercy_n to_o know_v it_o before_o you_o feel_v it_o can_v you_o in_o cold_a blood_n think_v it_o adviseable_a that_o the_o pit_n be_v your_o first_o waken_n when_o the_o unquenchable_a flame_n of_o god_n wrath_n be_v about_o you_o be_v you_o resolve_v to_o understand_v the_o state_n of_o your_o soul_n no_o other_o way_n can_v this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o wisdom_n can_v you_o approve_v it_o and_o if_o you_o can_v in_o your_o own_o conscience_n approve_v it_o but_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sinful_a and_o dangerous_a neglect_n why_o then_o will_v you_o take_v a_o young_a hell_n in_o your_o breast_n to_o the_o old_a why_o do_v you_o prepare_v such_o a_o gnaw_a worm_n as_o this_o will_v be_v that_o here_o be_v a_o man_n who_o never_o have_v so_o much_o regard_n to_o heaven_n or_o fear_v of_o hell_n as_o to_o inquire_v which_o of_o they_o he_o be_v go_v to_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o after_o examination_n you_o shall_v find_v any_o thing_n of_o true_a grace_n the_o least_o grain_n of_o that_o fine_a gold_n try_v in_o the_o fire_n though_o cover_v with_o much_o rubbish_n if_o any_o love_n of_o christ_n and_o holiness_n though_o but_o as_o a_o smoke_a flax_n will_v not_o the_o comfort_n abundant_o compense_v thy_o pain_n can_v thou_o deny_v it_o if_o christ_n have_v give_v thou_o grace_n be_v it_o not_o worth_a the_o look_v on_o that_o thou_o may_v at_o least_o give_v he_o thanks_o for_o it_o search_v therefore_o diligent_o for_o thou_o know_v not_o the_o many_o blessing_n that_o may_v attend_v a_o conscientious_a examination_n psal_n 119._o 59_o i_o think_v upon_o my_o way_n and_o turn_v my_o foot_n to_o thy_o testimony_n 4._o we_o be_v natural_o incline_v

therefore_o be_v oblige_v to_o make_v a_o diligent_a search_n lest_o we_o vain_o think_v we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o nothing_o when_o we_o be_v wretched_a and_o naked_a rev._n 3._o 17._o we_o may_v

soul_n if_o still_o among_o the_o dead_a and_o at_o last_o under_o the_o second_o death_n and_o the_o poor_a man_n have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v but_o i_o think_v i_o be_v alive_a in_o my_o soul_n and_o many_o other_o think_v so_o of_o i_o i_o think_v that_o i_o may_v be_v as_o welcome_a to_o the_o lord_n table_n as_o any_o christian_a be_v there_o i_o think_v myself_o more_o upright_o than_o many_o of_o they_o my_o heart_n say_v so_o to_o i_o i_o many_o time_n think_v their_o many_o prayer_n whining_n groan_n doubt_n and_o examine_v themselves_o be_v either_o but_o hypocrisy_n or_o vain_a

without_o hope_n of_o a_o morning_n be_v wise_a then_o as_o to_o your_o latter_a end_n for_o the_o time_n be_v at_o hand_n when_o man_n will_v need_v no_o examination_n you_o will_v be_v all_o at_o a_o point_n in_o a_o few_o year_n and_o eternal_o fix_v in_o your_o lot_n 5._o if_o people_n will_v not_o be_v at_o pain_n to_o examine_v themselves_o before_o a_o communion_n they_o will_v easy_o neglect_v it_o at_o other_o time_n and_o so_o be_v apt_a to_o live_v out_o of_o this_o duty_n while_o they_o live_v when_o man_n become_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o face_v the_o lord_n table_n not_o observe_v his_o direction_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o to_o approach_v it_o the_o direction_n be_v perremptory_a but_o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o so_o that_o albeit_o there_o be_v a_o reluctancy_n to_o this_o profitable_a duty_n yet_o this_o shall_v constrain_v to_o it_o as_o we_o will_v not_o profane_v the_o holy_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o when_o people_n make_v conscience_n of_o it_o though_o the_o sacrament_n be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n a_o confirm_a ordinance_n yet_o this_o previous_a examination_n have_v be_v signal_o bless_v of_o god_n be_v the_o very_a time_n and_o mean_v of_o awaken_n many_o out_o of_o their_o secure_a sleep_n in_o their_o sin_n i_o know_v many_o at_o this_o day_n now_o exemplary_a in_o holiness_n who_o can_v declare_v that_o preparation_n for_o communion_n in_o their_o young_a year_n be_v the_o very_a time_n their_o heart_n be_v first_o engage_v to_o christ_n and_o his_o way_n 6._o some_o without_o due_a examination_n take_v up_o a_o opinion_n that_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n no_o title_n to_o christ_n or_o his_o table_n and_o so_o deprive_v themselves_o of_o that_o benefit_n this_o opinion_n be_v not_o the_o result_n of_o serious_a examination_n but_o rather_o a_o temptation_n to_o obstruct_v both_o their_o duty_n and_o mercy_n and_o this_o become_v both_o a_o sin_n and_o snare_n to_o they_o a_o sin_n because_o they_o have_v not_o follow_v god_n direction_n in_o know_v the_o very_a state_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o a_o sna●e_n be_v thereby_o bar_v up_o from_o their_o spiritual_a good_a therefore_o this_o self_n examination_n be_v most_o necessary_a every_o way_n notwithstanding_o of_o the_o many_o clear_a and_o ponderous_a reason_n for_o this_o examine_n before_o partake_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n yet_o some_o object_n against_o it_o as_o first_o i_o know_v my_o soul_n condition_n so_o well_o already_o that_o i_o be_o resolve_v not_o to_o communicate_v an●_n therefore_o it_o will_v be_v to_o i_o but_o a_o unprofitable_a toil_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v leave_v that_o work_n to_o such_o as_o intend_v to_o receive_v answ_n by_o what_o rule_n can_v or_o dare_v you_o resolve_v not_o to_o partake_v before_o you_o take_v the_o way_n of_o god_n appointment_n to_o examine_v first_o and_o then_o determine_v be_v it_o not_o just_a with_o god_n to_o leave_v you_o to_o your_o own_o
