without_o impediment_n and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o leave_v in_o their_o soul_n to_o oppose_v their_o duty_n whereas_o bad_a people_n in_o a_o quite_o contrary_a way_n give_v admission_n to_o

communion_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n be_v so_o general_a and_o so_o long_o continue_v in_o the_o late_a distract_a time_n be_v lay_v aside_o in_o man_n whole_a parish_n of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o near_a twenty_o year_n together_o that_o in_o some_o age_n of_o the_o church_n it_o will_v have_v be_v interpret_v a_o downright_a apostasy_n from_o christ_n and_o a_o renunciation_n of_o the_o

devotion_n wherewith_o such_o festival_n as_o this_o be_v keep_v which_o now_o alas_o be_v want_v among_o we_o and_o i_o shall_v do_v it_o from_o those_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n 1_o cor._n xi_o 26._o wherein_o he_o recommend_v this_o duty_n unto_o we_o upon_o this_o particular_a account_n that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n we_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v in_o which_o word_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o observe_v these_o three_o practical_a truth_n the_o two_o first_o whereof_o be_v plain_o suppose_v and_o the_o other_o be_v affirm_v and_o enjoin_v i._o the_o first_o thing_n here_o suppose_v be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a duty_n to_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n here_o speak_v of_o that_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n ii_o the_o second_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a duty_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v often_o perform_v and_o then_o iii_o it_o be_v here_o plain_o assert_v that_o when_o it_o be_v perform_v the_o thing_n design_v in_o it_o and_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o aim_v at_o be_v to_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v the_o last_o of_o these_o will_v be_v sufficient_o explain_v in_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o other_o two_o viz._n the_o duty_n and_o the_o frequent_a repetition_n of_o it_o unto_o which_o i_o shall_v confine_v my_o discourse_n and_o of_o the_o first_o at_o this_o time_n i._o that_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a duty_n incumbent_a upon_o every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n that_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n this_o be_v suppose_v in_o the_o word_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o a_o mere_a permission_n that_o we_o may_v do_v this_o if_o we_o think_v good_a and_o when_o we_o think_v good_a but_o as_o a_o command_n of_o something_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v we_o do_v when_o we_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n in_o which_o we_o show_v forth_o christ_n death_n it_o plain_o imply_v that_o it_o must_v be_v do_v and_o be_v not_o leave_v to_o our_o choice_n whether_o we_o will_v show_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n or_o no._n of_o which_o more_o anon_o when_o i_o have_v lay_v some_o other_o thing_n before_o you_o which_o will_v convince_v you_o if_o they_o be_v consider_v of_o the_o obligation_n that_o lie_v upon_o you_o to_o the_o serious_a performance_n of_o this_o duty_n and_o for_o our_o clear_a and_o orderly_o proceed_v i_o shall_v cast_v my_o discourse_n into_o this_o method_n i._n first_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o plain_a institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o a_o command_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v receive_v and_o then_o ii_o second_o i_o shall_v show_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n after_o ●hat_n time_n when_o they_o first_o receive_v it_o with_o our_o saviour_n that_o it_o be_v no_o temporary_a command_n but_o of_o everlasting_a obligation_n iii_o three_o that_o there_o be_v more_o ●han_n their_o practice_n to_o interpret_v the_o meaning_n and_o obligation_n of_o this_o command_n iu._n four_o that_o in_o this_o discourse_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n there_o be_v evident_a proof_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o its_o performance_n v._n five_o that_o the_o very_a text_n show_v the_o same_o by_o the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v institute_v vi_o last_o that_o all_o these_o reason_n be_v exemplify_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o christ_n i._o and_o first_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v a_o divine_a institution_n ordain_v command_v and_o require_v by_o christ_n himself_o who_o the_o same_o night_n that_o he_o be_v betray_v take_v bread_n and_o bless_v it_o and_o break_v it_o and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o say_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o he_o take_v the_o cup_n and_o give_v thanks_o and_o give_v it_o to_o they_o say_v drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o for_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n matth._n xxvi_o 26_o 27_o 28._o here_o be_v as_o manifest_v a_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o as_o formal_a a_o command_n to_o take_v and_o eat_v and_o drink_v what_o christ_n then_o give_v as_o can_v be_v contrive_v in_o word_n unless_o they_o be_v plain_a which_o we_o read_v in_o other_o place_n for_o the_o institution_n be_v record_v by_o the_o two_o next_o evangelist_n st._n mark_n and_o st._n luke_n and_o here_o again_o in_o this_o chapter_n by_o st._n paul_n which_o two_o last_n name_v say_v that_o our_o saviour_n add_v these_o word_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n this_o do_v in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o luk._n xxii_o 19_o 1_o cor._n xi_o 24_o 25._o which_o enjoin_v this_o duty_n by_o as_o express_v a_o command_n as_o those_o of_o old_a remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a and_o honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n which_o may_v henceforth_o be_v blot_v out_o of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o commandment_n if_o we_o take_v this_o to_o
