the_o holy_a sacrament_n which_o their_o mind_n may_v have_v entertain_v upon_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o chap._n ii_o have_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n clear_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n i_o proceed_v in_o this_o to_o the_o second_o general_n that_o i_o propose_v to_o draw_v some_o general_a conclusion_n from_o they_o which_o may_v be_v proper_a to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o present_a case_n and_o to_o which_o i_o shall_v reduce_v as_o to_o so_o many_o head_n what_o i_o intend_v further_o to_o say_v in_o this_o discourse_n the_o collection_n that_o i_o purpose_n be_v these_o three_o that_o follow_v 1._o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o place_n be_v a_o thing_n hardly_o to_o be_v commit_v by_o christian_n in_o this_o age_n 2._o the_o suppose_a danger_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o man_n to_o abstain_v from_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n upon_o 3._o the_o true_a purpose_n of_o this_o place_n be_v to_o deter_v man_n from_o irreverence_n and_o rudeness_n in_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o engage_v they_o to_o that_o devotion_n and_o reverence_n that_o become_v they_o that_o do_v discern_v the_o lord_n body_n these_o be_v three_o material_a collection_n proper_a to_o be_v consider_v by_o all_o scrupulous_a person_n in_o this_o case_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o my_o power_n and_o skill_n to_o discourse_v they_o with_o that_o plainness_n and_o evidence_n that_o they_o require_v and_o deserve_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o text_n be_v hardly_o to_o be_v commit_v by_o christian_n in_o this_o age_n in_o order_n to_o the_o clear_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o collection_n it_o will_v concern_v i_o to_o do_v these_o follow_a thing_n 1._o show_v what_o this_o eat_n and_o drink_v unworthy_o be_v and_o wherein_o this_o sin_n of_o these_o corinthian_n do_v consist_v 2._o consider_v the_o circumstance_n that_o all_o christian_n now_o be_v in_o which_o set_v they_o almost_o above_o the_o possibility_n of_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o 3._o i_o shall_v inquire_v what_o can_v be_v count_v eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o in_o proportion_n to_o this_o 4._o and_o consider_v in_o the_o last_o place_n whether_o these_o also_o be_v not_o almost_o incompetent_a to_o christian_n especial_o to_o any_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o our_o present_a case_n sect_n i._o in_o order_n to_o my_o discharge_n the_o first_o thing_n undertake_v i_o shall_v need_v but_o to_o repeat_v a_o little_a of_o what_o i_o say_v in_o the_o explication_n of_o this_o text_n and_o this_o phrase_n in_o it_o not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n be_v certain_o the_o key_n to_o the_o meaning_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o and_o by_o consider_v the_o one_o we_o may_v come_v to_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o other_o and_o by_o examine_v how_o the_o case_n stand_v with_o these_o corinthian_n we_o may_v easy_o understand_v both_o by_o their_o not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n the_o apostle_n mean_v their_o not_o consider_v that_o this_o be_v a_o immediate_a service_n of_o religion_n and_o that_o the_o morsel_n of_o bread_n which_o they_o do_v eat_v and_o glass_n of_o wine_n that_o they_o do_v drink_v be_v sacramental_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o put_v no_o difference_n between_o these_o sacred_a symboll_n of_o our_o lord_n body_n and_o blood_n and_o common_a food_n and_o drink_n nor_o show_v great_a reverence_n in_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o one_o than_o do_v so_o to_o the_o other_o they_o eat_v in_o god_n house_n just_a as_o they_o do_v in_o their_o own_o and_o make_v no_o distinction_n between_o this_o and_o a_o common_a meal_n yea_o and_o which_o be_v something_o worse_o yet_o they_o do_v this_o not_o only_o thus_o irreverent_o but_o in_o intemperance_n and_o downright_a

may_v more_o full_o now_o by_o give_v a_o short_a account_n of_o the_o ancient_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n in_o this_o matter_n now_o that_o brief_o stand_v thus_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v

will_v not_o only_o hold_v but_o improve_v and_o grow_v strong_a in_o every_o succeed_a age_n and_o period_n of_o the_o world_n in_o which_o the_o sense_n and_o memory_n of_o it_o will_v be_v in_o

these_o intimation_n i_o may_v add_v one_o thing_n very_o considerable_a to_o our_o purpose_n from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o discourse_n in_o this_o chapter_n a_o learned_a man_n have_v take_v notice_n of_o they_o before_o i_o so_o that_o i_o shall_v but_o just_a name_n they_o first_o that_o the_o apostle_n take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o instruct_v the_o corinthian_n in_o the_o right_a way_n of_o communicate_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o to_o reform_v the_o profanation_n of_o it_o that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o now_o can_v any_o man_n reasonable_o think_v that_o he_o will_v have_v do_v this_o if_o he_o have_v not_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o necessary_a duty_n tie_v upon_o christian_n by_o christ_n own_o command_n and_o institution_n certain_o no_o he_o that_o give_v direction_n how_o to_o do_v a_o duty_n suppose_v the_o obligation_n and_o necessity_n of_o it_o or_o else_o he_o speak_v to_o little_a purpose_n and_o as_o that_o great_a man_n speak_v can_v any_o man_n think_v the_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o do_v a_o action_n to_o be_v a_o duty_n and_o yet_o that_o action_n itself_o no_o duty_n this_o be_v not_o supposable_a and_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a the_o apostle_n will_v never_o have_v spend_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o this_o chapter_n in_o direct_v how_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v how_o to_o order_v and_o prepare_v themselves_o for_o it_o but_o that_o he_o look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o duty_n necessary_o incumbent_a on_o they_o nor_o be_v so_o impertinent_a as_o to_o concern_v and_o busy_v himself_o in_o direct_v the_o circumstance_n of_o a_o action_n which_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o be_v do_v but_o arbitrary_a and_o at_o their_o pleasure_n whether_o to_o do_v it_o or_o no._n the_o second_o circumstance_n be_v what_o i_o observe_v before_o that_o he_o do_v this_o even_a when_o the_o corinthian_n run_v a_o very_a great_a hazard_n and_o incur_v a_o grand_a guilt_n by_o their_o profanation_n of_o this_o service_n and_o come_v so_o unworthy_o to_o it_o certain_o have_v the_o apostle_n look_v upon_o this_o as_o any_o thing_n less_o than_o a_o necessary_a duty_n he_o will_v have_v go_v another_o way_n to_o work_v with_o they_o he_o will_v have_v discourse_v to_o they_o at_o another_o rate_n and_o have_v tell_v they_o it_o be_v much_o the_o better_o and_o safe_a way_n to_o stay_v away_o from_o the_o sacrament_n than_o incur_v so_o great_a guilt_n and_o punishment_n by_o come_v so_o unworthy_o this_o will_v have_v be_v the_o advice_n that_o a_o great_a many_o man_n now_o according_a to_o their_o principle_n will_v have_v give_v to_o they_o and_o indeed_o do_v give_v themselves_o and_o other_o too_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n to_o this_o purpose_n nor_o know_v of_o any_o warrant_n he_o have_v to_o do_v so_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o grant_v they_o any_o indulgence_n or_o licence_n to_o stay_v away_o though_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o come_v so_o very_o unfit_o he_o be_v to_o recommend_v it_o as_o a_o necessary_a duty_n and_o to_o press_v the_o serious_a and_o become_a observation_n of_o it_o but_o he_o have_v receive_v no_o warrant_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o dispense_v with_o that_o observation_n he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o sacrament_n as_o a_o necessary_a stand_a service_n of_o their_o religion_n to_o count_v it_o their_o duty_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o his_o province_n be_v only_o to_o direct_v they_o how_o they_o may_v do_v it_o acceptable_o and_o not_o to_o
