delight_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o my_o god._n o_o ineffable_a and_o amaze_a love_n to_o mankind_n who_o deserve_v nothing_o but_o a_o eternal_a curse_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o lamb_n that_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n so_o the_o eucharist_n represent_v to_o we_o in_o the_o five_o place_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o christian_n we_o can_v look_v upon_o the_o sacrament_n as_o the_o pledge_n and_o seal_n of_o this_o covenant_n without_o be_v fill_v with_o a_o excess_n of_o joy_n and_o consolation_n for_o indeed_o what_o great_a glory_n can_v be_v imagine_v than_o for_o man_n to_o be_v admit_v to_o a_o treaty_n with_o god_n and_o what_o a_o inconceivable_a advantage_n be_v this_o that_o god_n shall_v vouchsafe_v to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o we_o there_o be_v none_o but_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o israelite_n in_o this_o regard_n to_o be_v convince_v of_o which_o we_o need_v only_o hear_v they_o even_o at_o this_o day_n speak_v with_o the_o great_a comfort_n of_o the_o honour_n god_n therein_o have_v do_v they_o notwithstanding_o their_o total_a dispersion_n and_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o that_o curse_n which_o pursue_v and_o overtake_v they_o every_o where_n now_o that_o ancient_a covenant_n god_n have_v abolish_v as_o be_v imperfect_a but_o this_o which_o we_o commemorate_v be_v to_o endure_v for_o ever_o the_o design_n of_o the_o former_a be_v only_o to_o give_v the_o jew_n a_o lively_a sense_n of_o sin_n or_o at_o the_o best_a to_o administer_v a_o typical_a expiation_n whereas_o the_o latter_a viz._n the_o new_a according_a to_o the_o prophet_n

his_o own_o blood_n to_o raise_v they_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o adoption_n who_o shall_v believe_v in_o him._n o_o how_o happy_a be_v the_o people_n who_o god_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o what_o do_v this_o expression_n to_o be_v the_o god_n of_o any_o one_o import_n but_o this_o viz._n to_o be_v his_o great_a and_o sovereign_a benefactor_n of_o old_a he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n but_o

of_o christ_n and_o can_v we_o with_o any_o attention_n reflect_v on_o this_o truth_n represent_v to_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n without_o feel_v a_o joy_n unspreakable_a and_o full_a of_o

the_o full_a salvation_n of_o believer_n do_v as_o yet_o only_o consist_v in_o hope_n god_n indeed_o pardon_v their_o sin_n but_o they_o be_v still_o subject_a to_o all_o the_o misery_n sin_n have_v
