unworthy_a receive_v to_o the_o person_n himself_o that_o 20._o thus_o receive_v and_o not_o to_o other_o that_o receive_v with_o he_o three_o because_o neither_o the_o prophet_n of_o old_a nor_o

to_o do_v the_o contrary_a and_o have_v show_v we_o by_o their_o practice_n that_o in_o assembly_n where_o the_o word_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v keep_v pure_a for_o substance_n there_o may_v be_v a_o comfortable_a participate_n of_o sacrament_n yea_o though_o by_o connivance_n of_o governor_n some_o inordinate_a walker_n be_v admit_v viii_o case_n whether_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o minister_n who_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n may_v impeach_v the_o sufficiency_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o a_o believe_v communicant_n solution_n no_o it_o can_v for_o the_o

this_o divine_n 7._o both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a have_v many_o way_n illustrate_v as_o by_o water_n that_o pass_v through_o a_o channel_n of_o stone_n into_o a_o garden_n though_o the_o channel_n itself_o receive_v no_o benefit_n by_o it_o because_o of_o his_o own_o indisposition_n yet_o may_v the_o garden_n be_v make_v fruitful_a by_o the_o water_n that_o this_o channel_n conveigh_v into_o

may_v be_v add_v but_o these_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o the_o sacrament_n receive_v at_o a_o evil_a minister_n hand_n may_v yet_o have_v its_o due_a effect_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o worthy_a receiver_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v refuse_v by_o we_o when_o such_o do_v administer_v it_o unto_o we_o for_o what_o man_n that_o be_v in_o his_o right_a wit_n if_o he_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o law_n will_v refuse_v his_o prince_n pardon_n though_o bring_v unto_o he_o by_o he_o that_o be_v never_o so_o wicked_a a_o man_n or_o who_o will_v think_v that_o pardon_n

to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n solution_n there_o be_v no_o set_a time_n nor_o time_n for_o this_o prescribe_v in_o the_o scripture_n neither_o have_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o we_o read_v th●●_z in_o the_o primitive_a time_n of_o the_o church_n they_o use_v at_o first_o to_o receive_v it_o every_o

that_o at_o least_o once_o a_o year_n it_o shall_v be_v receive_v and_o therefore_o in_o this_o variety_n of_o 165._o practice_n we_o must_v for_o our_o better_a guidance_n herein_o observe_v the_o

of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o our_o body_n have_v daily_a need_n of_o nourishment_n by_o our_o corporal_a food_n so_o have_v our_o soul_n by_o our_o spiritual_a yet_o must_v not_o this_o be_v the_o only_a guide_n or_o ground_n of_o our_o receive_v but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v respect_n to_o conveniency_n for_o see_v there_o be_v require_v a_o due_a and_o diligent_a preparation_n for_o the_o receive_n of_o this_o sacrament_n the_o same_o must_v moderate_v our_o necessity_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v as_o well_o look_v to_o our_o fitness_n as_o to_o our_o need_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o three_o place_n the_o due_a consideration_n of_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n and_o comfort_n we_o obtain_v by_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n must_v stir_v we_o up_o so_o oft_o as_o with_o conveniency_n we_o may_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o 13._o this_o bless_a banquet_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a we_o may_v every_o day_n be_v fit_a to_o communicate_v or_o at_o least_o so_o often_o as_o the_o sacrament_n be_v administer_v x._o case_n what_o quantity_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n must_v be_v take_v by_o he_o that_o receive_v solution_n so_o much_o of_o each_o as_o may_v give_v both_o nourish_a and_o cheer_v to_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o that_o custom_n take_v up_o by_o the_o young_a sort_n of_o only_o kiss_v the_o cup_n or_o take_v but_o a_o drop_n or_o two_o of_o wine_n into_o their_o mouth_n be_v not_o to_o be_v approve_v for_o christ_n ordinance_n be_v not_o to_o sip_v but_o to_o 27._o drink_v at_o the_o communion_n xi_o case_n whether_o such_o person_n as_o be_v at_o contention_n and_o go_v to_o law_n one_o with_o another_o may_v with_o good_a conscience_n come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n solution_n questionless_a they_o may_v so_o that_o they_o go_v to_o law_n lawful_o for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a rule_n in_o law_n both_o divine_a and_o human_a which_o the_o apostle_n set_v down_o in_o 1_o tim._n 1._o 8._o that_o the_o law_n be_v good_a if_o a_o man_n use_v it_o lawful_o now_o to_o use_v the_o law_n lawful_o there_o be_v these_o condition_n require_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v do_v not_o for_o every_o little_a trifle_n which_o will_v bear_v

which_o by_o god_n law_n and_o man_n belong_v unto_o he_o 3._o that_o it_o be_v not_o do_v out_o of_o a_o ambitious_a mind_n more_o to_o get_v the_o victory_n of_o his_o adversary_n than_o to_o gain_v
