of_o your_o lord_n who_o you_o be_v to_o remember_v at_o his_o table_n that_o may_v be_v proper_a for_o your_o case_n apply_v your_o thought_n and_o care_n and_o resolution_n that_o way_n design_n and_o resolve_v to_o attend_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n for_o the_o supply_n of_o those_o want_n and_o to_o endeavour_v to_o use_v it_o so_o that_o the_o need_v grace_n may_v be_v obtain_v and_o the_o

contain_v most_o excellent_a meditation_n and_o prayer_n both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o first_o design_n of_o this_o little_a discourse_n i_o intend_v to_o have_v add_v
