adorn_v the_o table_n nor_o from_o our_o blood_n and_o spirit_n raise_v and_o ferment_v by_o generous_a wine_n but_o from_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a consideration_n from_o the_o boundless_a and_o unaccountable_a love_n of_o god_n in_o send_v his_o only_a beget_v and_o belove_v son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n and_o shed_v his_o blood_n as_o a_o propitiation_n for_o

several_a name_n and_o phrase_n by_o which_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v describe_v they_o be_v figurative_a and_o borrow_v from_o civil_a entertainment_n but_o although_o it_o have_v receive_v the_o same_o name_n and_o be_v represent_v by_o phrase_n that_o proper_o suit_n to_o ordinary_a feast_n yet_o the_o lord_n supper_n differ_v in_o its_o nature_n from_o civil_a banquet_n as_o much_o as_o heaven_n and_o earth_n body_n and_o spirit_n differ_v in_o they_o as_o to_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o we_o see_v and_o taste_v they_o be_v only_a sign_n and_o type_n of_o the_o true_a spiritual_a feast_n and_o serve_v to_o raise_v our_o mind_n to_o and_o whet_v the_o appetite_n of_o our_o soul_n after_o celestial_a and_o heavenly_a enjoyment_n thus_o much_o may_v suffice_v to_o

for_o the_o sake_n of_o we_o vile_a and_o miserable_a sinner_n 4._o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o mysterious_a rite_n of_o religious_a worship_n which_o as_o it_o respect_v god_n the_o father_n have_v the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o a_o thanksgiving_n and_o a_o prayer_n as_o the_o sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n have_v for_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n may_v be_v signify_v by_o

the_o christian_a church_n to_o this_o day_n 5._o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v institute_v to_o be_v a_o foederal_n or_o covenant_v rite_n between_o god_n and_o all_o worthy_a communicant_n 19_o where_o by_o permit_v we_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o his_o table_n 24._o he_o signify_v that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o peace_n and_o friendship_n and_o in_o a_o covenant-relation_n with_o he_o

be_v institute_v for_o this_o further_a end_n viz._n to_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o convey_v and_o apply_v to_o we_o the_o merit_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o christ_n offer_v for_o sinner_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o as_o a_o pledge_n to_o assure_v we_o thereof_o 7._o it_o be_v institute_v to_o be_v a_o sacred_a bond_n of_o unity_n and_o concord_n among_o all_o christian_n to_o engage_v and_o dispose_v we_o to_o love_v one_o another_o as_o our_o lord_n love_v we_o who_o think_v not_o his_o life_n too_o dear_a nor_o his_o blood_n too_o much_o to_o part_v with_o for_o our_o sake_n this_o be_v a_o short_a and_o so_o far_o as_o it_o serve_v my_o present_a design_n a_o full_a account_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n if_o the_o reader_n desire_v to_o see_v these_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v but_o touch_v upon_o more_o large_o prove_v and_o explain_v let_v he_o for_o his_o satisfaction_n consult_v those_o two_o excellent_a discourse_n among_o many_o other_o that_o pass_v under_o these_o name_n sherlock_n viz._n 1._o the_o christian_a sacrifice_n 2._o discourse_v of_o religious_a assembly_n howsoever_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v of_o a_o complicate_v nature_n and_o institute_v for_o various_a end_n that_o it_o be_v vast_o different_a both_o in_o its_o nature_n and_o end_n from_o civil_a and_o ordinary_a feast_n and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v not_o at_o this_o religious_a feast_n to_o guide_v ourselves_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o common_a table-fellowship_n but_o by_o more_o religious_a and_o spiritual_a consideration_n which_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n propose_v for_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o present_a case_n 2._o that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v not_o absolute_o require_v and_o necessary_o oblige_v we_o to_o observe_v a_o table-gesture_n in_o order_n to_o a_o right_n and_o worthy_a receive_v of_o it_o the_o reason_n that_o i_o shall_v offer_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o be_v these_o 1._o if_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n consider_v as_o a_o feast_n necessary_o require_v a_o table-gesture_n than_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n consider_v as_o a_o feast_n equal_o conclude_v for_o all_o other_o formality_n which_o be_v either_o essential_a to_o all_o civil_a feast_n whatsoever_o or_o to_o all_o feast_n as_o they_o obtain_v among_o we_o for_o if_o sit_v be_v necessary_a pure_o because_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o feast_n require_v it_o than_o all_o other_o circumstance_n which_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o feast_n require_v will_v be_v equal_o necessary_a too_o but_o our_o dissent_v brethren_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v of_o this_o nor_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o observe_v all_o other_o formality_n though_o equal_o suitable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o feast_n as_o sit_v be_v though_o for_o what_o good_a reason_n i_o be_o perfect_o in_o the_o dark_a for_o 1._o as_o they_o omit_v many_o thing_n at_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v as_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o feast_n as_o the_o table-gesture_n be_v so_o they_o observe_v several_a modes_n and_o circumstance_n which_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o feast_n as_o the_o custom_n of_o our_o country_n stand_v for_o instance_n at_o our_o common_a and_o
