and_o passion_n of_o christ_n a._o by_o observe_v careful_o what_o be_v do_v by_o the_o minister_n that_o do_v administer_v it_o and_o himself_o that_o do_v receive_v it_o q_o what_o do_v the_o

of_o the_o bless_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n a._o he_o be_v then_o to_o meditate_v how_o that_o 15_o god_n the_o father_n out_o of_o his_o mere_a love_n to_o mankind_n do_v set_v apart_o

in_o the_o time_n of_o receive_v upon_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o benefit_n which_o accrue_v to_o he_o thereby_o tell_v i_o now_o next_o what_o be_v the_o duty_n which_o he_o be_v to_o perform_v to_o god_n and_o man_n therefore_o a._o to_o god_n he_o be_v to_o lift_v up_o his_o heart_n 7_o by_o way_n of_o thanksgiving_n for_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o

it_o stand_v in_o this_o to_o try_v whether_o he_o have_v get_v any_o good_a by_o the_o sacrament_n or_o not_o q_o what_o if_o he_o find_v little_a or_o no_o good_a by_o his_o receive_v a._o he_o be_v

out_o what_o be_v the_o fault_n in_o either_o that_o hinder_v the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sacrament_n unto_o he_o he_o must_v judge_v himself_o and_o be_v 43_o serious_o humble_v for_o it_o and_o second_o he_o must_v endeavour_v by_o after-paine_n in_o prayer_n and_o humiliation_n to_o quicken_v and_o awaken_v the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sacrament_n unto_o his_o soul_n q._n but_o what_o if_o he_o find_v any_o good_a by_o his_o receive_v what_o be_v he_o to_o do_v then_o a._o he_o be_v first_o to_o bless_v god_n with_o all_o 4_o his_o heart_n therefore_o and_o to_o acknowledge_v with_o

of_o new_a obedience_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n when_o he_o come_v to_o receive_v q_o be_v there_o any_o great_a danger_n if_o we_o do_v neglect_v to_o do_v so_o a._o yes_o for_o first_o
