that_o a_o action_n how_o good_a soever_o it_o may_v be_v in_o itself_o lose_v its_o worth_n and_o value_n by_o the_o default_n of_o a_o good_a intention_n and_o it_o become_v evil_a and_o vicious_a if_o the_o intention_n be_v such_o and_o if_o it_o be_v do_v for_o a_o evil_a end_n this_o be_v true_a in_o all_o good_a action_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v still_o much_o more_o in_o this_o of_o

be_v a_o contempt_n of_o the_o greatness_n and_o sanctity_n of_o god_n to_o approach_v unto_o he_o upon_o any_o other_o motive_n then_o that_o of_o please_v he_o and_o merit_v his_o grace_n and_o favour_n for_o this_o reason_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o none_o shall_v serve_v himself_o upon_o his_o altar_n of_o any_o other_o then_o holy_a fire_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o he_o punish_v with_o sudden_a death_n the_o two_o son_n of_o aaron_n who_o be_v so_o rash_a as_o there_o to_o make_v use_n of_o profane_a fire_n by_o this_o figure_n we_o learn_v that_o for_o one_o to_o approach_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o be_v holy_a but_o it_o be_v also_o necessary_a that_o one_o bring_v with_o he_o a_o intention_n altogether_o pure_a and_o holy_a and_o that_o a_o evil_a and_o profane_a intention_n do_v grievous_o offend_v he_o upon_o this_o occasion_n we_o must_v then_o approach_v unto_o the_o holy_a communion_n with_o a_o intention_n total_o pure_a and_o propose_v to_o ourselves_o a_o end_n altogether_o holy_a in_o this_o so_o great_a and_o so_o august_a a_o action_n now_o that_o we_o may_v perform_v this_o duty_n two_o thing_n be_v necessary_a the_o first_o be_v that_o one_o propose_v to_o himself_o no_o evil_a thing_n as_o the_o motive_n and_o cause_n of_o his_o communion_n as_o hypocrisy_n to_o dissemble_v and_o conceal_v some_o fault_n with_o a_o appearance_n of_o piety_n vanity_n to_o be_v esteem_v virtuous_a humane_a respect_n lest_o he_o shall_v displease_v any_o one_o or_o to_o please_v man_n rather_o then_o god._n these_o three_o motive_n be_v but_o too_o frequent_a among_o those_o who_o be_v not_o sufficient_o instruct_v concern_v the_o intention_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o our_o communion_n and_o particular_o among_o young_a people_n wherefore_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v special_a care_n to_o avoid_v they_o the_o first_o be_v the_o great_a fault_n and_o ordinary_o speak_v render_v the_o communion_n sacrilegious_a the_o other_o two_o deprive_v one_o of_o the_o best_a part_n of_o the_o fruit_n it_o otherwise_o will_v produce_v second_o this_o intention_n must_v be_v direct_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o our_o salvation_n to_o god_n to_o please_v he_o the_o more_o and_o to_o unite_v ourselves_o thereby_o more_o strict_o to_o he_o to_o our_o salvation_n to_o promote_v it_o by_o obtain_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o holy_a communion_n the_o grace_n which_o we_o stand_v most_o in_o need_n of_o as_o to_o amend_v our_o fault_n to_o resist_v temptation_n to_o fix_v and_o confirm_v we_o more_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o virtue_n the_o two_o end_n we_o find_v in_o our_o lord_n prayer_n where_o the_o three_o first_o petition_n contain_v what_o we_o can_v wish_v for_o the_o great_a honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o other_o four_o comprehend_v what_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a exercise_n to_o propose_v to_o ourselves_o for_o the_o end_n of_o our_o communion_n the_o obtain_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o seven_o demand_n which_o make_v up_o &_o compose_v it_o or_o of_o which_o this_o divine_a prayer_n consist_v it_o be_v also_o good_a to_o add_v to_o this_o general_a intention_n some_o particular_a end_n according_a to_o our_o present_a necessity_n as_o to_o obtain_v some_o particular_a grace_n we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o to_o correct_v in_o ourselves_o some_o fault_n and_o to_o advance_v in_o some_o particular_a virtue_n last_o the_o right_a and_o religious_a intention_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o communion_n be_v the_o very_a same_o which_o christ_n propose_v to_o himself_o when_o he_o first_o institute_v this_o divine_a sacrament_n now_o his_o intention_n be_v as_o he_o himself_o declare_v that_o he_o may_v remain_v in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o he_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o
