come_v without_o repentance_n what_o say_v the_o apostle_n for_o this_o cause_n because_o you_o come_v unreverent_o to_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n some_o be_v sick_a and_o some_o weak_a and_o some_o

our_o spiritual_a wisdom_n be_v get_v by_o the_o sight_n of_o our_o own_o error_n we_o grow_v more_o establish_v after_o against_o the_o like_a temptation_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o we_o

they_o come_v to_o these_o holy_a mystery_n with_o comfort_n notwithstanding_o any_o thing_n before_o for_o god_n have_v prepare_v these_o thing_n not_o for_o angel_n but_o for_o weak_a man_n who_o faith_n stand_v in_o need_n to_o be_v strengthen_v and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o christianity_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o compliment_n that_o because_o we_o be_v baptize_v and_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n all_o be_v well_o for_o we_o may_v do_v all_o this_o and_o yet_o be_v great_a sinner_n than_o turk_n or_o jew_n church_n or_o pagan_n for_o the_o

in_o general_a i_o will_v not_o speak_v much_o it_o will_v be_v large_a and_o the_o point_n of_o glorify_v god_n be_v most_o sweet_o consider_v as_o invest_v in_o such_o a_o benefit_n as_o this_o when_o we_o think_v of_o it_o not_o as_o a_o idea_n only_o but_o think_v of_o it_o in_o christ_n for_o who_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o glorify_v god_n god_n and_o for_o all_o the_o good_a we_o have_v by_o he_o all_o first_o then_o we_o hold_v tune_n with_o the_o bless_a angel_n in_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n when_o we_o exalt_v god_n in_o our_o soul_n above_o all_o creature_n and_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n when_o we_o lift_v he_o up_o in_o his_o own_o place_n and_o let_v he_o be_v in_o our_o soul_n as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o in_o the_o most_o holy_a god_n be_v glorious_a especial_o in_o

till_o we_o give_v he_o the_o high_a place_n in_o our_o love_n and_o joy_n and_o delight_n and_o all_o those_o affection_n that_o be_v set_v upon_o good_a when_o they_o be_v set_v upon_o he_o as_o the_o chief_a good_a than_o we_o give_v he_o his_o due_a place_n in_o our_o soul_n we_o ascribe_v to_o he_o that_o divinity_n and_o excellency_n and_o eminency_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o and_o this_o especial_o appear_v in_o competition_n and_o opposition_n of_o other_o thing_n opposition_n when_o we_o will_v not_o offend_v god_n for_o any_o creature_n when_o we_o can_v say_v as_o the_o psalmist_n who_o have_v i_o in_o heaven_n but_o thou_o 73._o and_o what_o be_v there_o in_o earth_n in_o comparison_n of_o thou_o therefore_o let_v we_o ask_v our_o own_o thought_n often_o what_o that_o be_v that_o our_o affection_n of_o delight_n and_o joy_n and_o love_n and_o all_o the_o sweetness_n and_o marrow_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v spend_v on_o and_o run_v after_o be_v it_o the_o sweet_a love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o excellent_a state_n we_o have_v in_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a sign_n sure_o the_o bless_a saint_n in_o heaven_n and_o those_o that_o be_v in_o earth_n that_o look_v for_o heaven_n be_v thus_o dispose_v for_o the_o most_o part_n especial_o when_o they_o set_v themselves_o in_o their_o devotion_n before_o god_n let_v we_o examine_v what_o be_v high_a in_o our_o soul_n the_o love_a kindness_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v better_a than_o life_n itself_o say_v the_o psalmist_n then_o we_o give_v god_n glory_n when_o we_o set_v light_a by_o life_n itself_o as_o holy_a saint_n paul_n can_v say_v what_o do_v you_o tell_v i_o of_o suffer_v at_o jerusalem_n i_o be_o not_o only_o ready_a to_o do_v that_o but_o to_o die_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o philip._n 1._o 1._o so_o god_n may_v be_v magnify_v by_o my_o life_n or_o death_n i_o be_o at_o a_o point_n so_o if_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o we_o shall_v sacrifice_v this_o blood_n and_o life_n of_o we_o or_o dishonour_n god_n and_o wrong_v the_o gospel_n or_o be_v any_o way_n prejudicial_a to_o the_o truth_n know_v when_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o part_v with_o all_o with_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o house_n and_o land_n and_o all_o for_o christ_n then_o with_o the_o angel_n we_o say_v glory_n be_v to_o god_n on_o high_a therefore_o in_o a_o state_n of_o opposition_n when_o we_o can_v enjoy_v both_o let_v we_o leave_v the_o creature_n and_o cleave_v to_o god_n then_o again_o christ._n we_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n for_o christ_n when_o we_o take_v all_o the_o favour_n we_o have_v from_o god_n in_o christ_n when_o we_o see_v christ_n in_o every_o thing_n all_o thing_n be_v we_o because_o we_o be_v christ_n it_o be_v by_o christ_n that_o we_o be_v heir_n that_o we_o have_v any_o comfortable_a interest_n therefore_o when_o we_o accept_v all_o in_o christ_n and_o give_v god_n in_o christ_n the_o glory_n of_o all_o we_o practise_v this_o that_o the_o angel_n do_v here_o we_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n god_n then_o again_o we_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n when_o we_o stir_v up_o other_o all_o the_o angel_n consent_n there_o be_v no_o

the_o way_n we_o can_v every_o one_o in_o our_o place_n and_o calling_n magistrate_n and_o minister_n and_o every_o one_o in_o our_o family_n labour_v that_o christ_n may_v rule_v there_o that_o god_n in_o christ_n may_v be_v know_v in_o psal._n 103._o 103._o there_o the_o psalmist_n stir_v up_o himself_o to_o glorify_v god_n and_o he_o stir_v up_o the_o angel_n and_o here_o the_o angel_n stir_v

of_o another_o angel_n man_n and_o man_n angel_n and_o a_o wish_v that_o god_n may_v have_v glory_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n therefore_o those_o that_o labour_v not_o in_o their_o place_n that_o

because_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v great_a so_o they_o require_v a_o suitable_a carriage_n not_o a_o common_a carriage_n we_o profane_v the_o sacrament_n if_o we_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o a_o common_a feast_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v you_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n we_o profane_a mystery_n when_o we_o discern_v not_o beast_n and_o beastlike_a man_n discern_v not_o the_o relation_n of_o thing_n that_o these_o outward_a element_n have_v reference_n to_o great_a matter_n to_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o do_v not_o discern_v they_o from_o common_a bread_n and_o wine_n though_o they_o be_v use_v to_o raise_v up_o our_o soul_n to_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n word_n so_o likewise_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o look_v not_o to_o our_o foot_n but_o come_v to_o the_o church_n as_o if_o we_o go_v to_o a_o play_n or_o some_o common_a place_n without_o prayer_n without_o preparation_n when_o we_o come_v with_o common_a affection_n this_o be_v to_o come_v profane_o here_o we_o come_v to_o mystery_n to_o high_a thing_n to_o great_a matter_n therefore_o when_o we_o come_v to_o converse_v with_o god_n we_o must_v not_o come_v with_o common_a affection_n we_o must_v carry_v ourselves_o holy_o in_o holy_a business_n or_o else_o we_o offer_v to_o god_n strange_a fire_n god_n be_v in_o this_o place_n say_v jacob_n and_o

and_o we_o be_v not_o aware_a of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o we_o not_o to_o labour_v to_o bring_v suitable_a disposition_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o that_o consequent_a life_n or_o death_n

we_o go_v about_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n and_o then_o to_o let_v the_o reins_n lose_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o vanity_n the_o very_a heathen_n will_v

at_o these_o time_n when_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o a_o holy_a disposition_n be_v this_o the_o way_n to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o entertain_v and_o embrace_v these_o
