suitable_a to_o the_o end_n of_o this_o sacrament_n to_o be_v exercise_v our_o memory_n mind_n and_o affection_n in_o the_o perusal_n of_o christ_n jesus_n i_o know_v that_o some_o church_n use_v to_o sing_v a_o psalm_n while_o the_o action_n be_v perform_v who_o i_o condemn_v not_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o keep_v the_o heart_n intent_n and_o in_o spiritual_a frame_n or_o fixedness_n but_o shall_v rather_o choose_v a_o silent_a meditation_n and_o employment_n of_o the_o mind_n in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o be_v more_o suitable_a to_o the_o end_n of_o this_o ordinance_n and_o to_o christ_n example_n and_o institution_n who_o according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n fill_v the_o time_n of_o action_n with_o commemoration_n and_o close_v it_o with_o a_o hymn_n and_o if_o we_o may_v give_v credit_n to_o the_o jewish_a writer_n and_o other_o out_o of_o they_o as_o hugo_n broughton_n show_v in_o his_o commentary_n on_o daniel_n the_o psalm_n of_o the_o

pertinent_a meditation_n that_o may_v full_o take_v up_o the_o time_n of_o the_o action_n with_o great_a advantage_n and_o benefit_n to_o our_o soul_n as_o namely_o 1._o the_o dreadfulness_n of_o

this_o blood_n 4._o what_o a_o infinite_a love_n break_v forth_o that_o god_n rather_o than_o let_v our_o soul_n be_v lose_v will_v send_v his_o eternal_a son_n and_o make_v he_o sin_n for_o we_o 5._o

penny_n of_o this_o debt_n which_o be_v not_o dissolve_v by_o any_o blood_n but_o of_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n 6._o that_o god_n will_v not_o only_o pardon_v sin_n by_o give_v forth_o a_o general_a
