thirdlie_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o lord_n propound_v unto_o we_o the_o mystical_a union_n that_o be_v betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n we_o and_o he_o make_v but_o one_o body_n of_o his_o holy_a congregation_n he_o be_v the_o head_n thereof_o and_o we_o the_o particular_a member_n by_o which_o also_o as_o we_o be_v instruct_v in_o our_o holy_a duty_n towards_o he_o we_o attempt_v nothing_o that_o may_v tend_v to_o the_o prejudice_n hurt_n or_o grief_n of_o our_o holy_a head_n but_o endeavour_v everye_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a before_o he_o so_o we_o comfortable_o conceive_v the_o great_a and_o continual_a care_n he_o have_v for_o we_o he_o perform_v more_o effectual_o by_o much_o the_o duty_n of_o headship_n unto_o his_o spiritual_a body_n the_o

both_o towards_o the_o lord_n and_o one_o of_o we_o towards_o a_o other_o 4_o fourthlie_o and_o last_o the_o lord_n deliver_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o use_n of_o his_o supper_n that_o holy_a unity_n

whatsoever_o or_o wheresoever_o they_o be_v for_o even_o as_o the_o bread_n that_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o be_v make_v of_o many_o grain_n &_o yet_o make_v but_o one_o loaf_n as_o we_o see_v &_o as_o the_o wine_n that_o we_o drink_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n be_v make_v of_o many_o grape_n and_o yet_o make_v but_o one_o wine_n so_o all_o the_o faithful_a people_n not_o only_o of_o one_o

some_o make_v in_o deed_n but_o one_o holy_a body_n of_o the_o church_n neither_o do_v our_o be_v of_o several_a member_n one_o of_o we_o to_o another_o any_o more_o hinder_v our_o growth_n in_o this_o same_o spiritual_a fellowship_n than_o the_o variety_n of_o member_n in_o a_o natural_a body_n hinder_v the_o constitute_n and_o make_v of_o the_o whole_a body_n itself_o nay_o rather_o as_o

can_v this_o whole_a or_o holy_a body_n of_o the_o church_n &_o every_o particular_a congregation_n throughout_o the_o world_n concur_v to_o the_o establish_n thereof_o and_o yet_o so_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o name_n church_n may_v as_o right_o be_v attribute_v to_o every_o several_a society_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o the_o word_n earth_n to_o every_o part_n of_o the_o

after_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o though_o this_o come_v in_o the_o last_o place_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o a_o matter_n of_o the_o least_o importance_n nay_o rather_o it_o be_v of_o such_o great_a weight_n that_o the_o former_a without_o it_o be_v little_o available_a for_o even_o as_o in_o all_o humane_a science_n knowledge_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o exquisite_a be_v without_o action_n &_o practice_v common_o count_v but_o a_o vain_a conceit_n so_o in_o spiritual_a understanding_n that_o be_v much_o more_o true_a because_o if_o a_o man_n know_v never_o so_o much_o of_o god_n mercy_n and_o meditate_v never_o so_o deep_o in_o the_o same_o yet_o if_o that_o by_o the_o same_o he_o be_v not_o lead_v as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o hand_n both_o humble_o to_o praise_n

and_o other_o as_o if_o it_o be_v nothing_o now_o this_o matter_n that_o we_o call_v action_n consist_v 1_o first_o in_o earnest_a prayer_n unto_o god_n not_o only_o for_o a_o clear_a sight_n of_o the_o grace_n offer_v because_o we_o be_v blind_a to_o perceve_v they_o but_o also_o for_o a_o lively_a and_o continual_a feel_n of_o the_o same_o because_o we_o do_v easy_o choke_v and_o smother_v they_o up_o yea_o for_o the_o plentiful_a fructifieng_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o his_o sacrament_n in_o our_o heart_n because_o we_o ourselves_o be_v barren_a and_o ill_a ground_n and_o can_v hardly_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n though_o we_o have_v have_v very_o much_o cost_n and_o labour_v bestow_v upon_o us._n and_o this_o duty_n must_v be_v perform_v not_o for_o the_o time_n present_v alone_o as_o while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o public_a exercise_n or_o for_o the_o day_n of_o communicate_v only_o return_v afterward_o as_o filthy_a swine_n to_o our_o former_a wallow_v or_o unclean_a dog_n to_o our_o vomit_n again_o for_o alas_o what_o will_v that_o avail_v we_o but_o to_o a_o more_o fearful_a judgement_n and_o just_a condemnation_n because_o we_o continue_v in_o sin_n &_o abuse_v the_o mean_n of_o our_o sanctification_n and_o purge_n but_o even_o for_o the_o whole_a race_n and_o course_n of_o our_o life_n that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o day_n nor_o hour_n of_o a_o day_n go_v over_o our_o head_n wherein_o we_o stand_v not_o in_o need_n of_o some_o blessing_n from_o the_o lord_n so_o there_o shall_v few_o time_n escape_v we_o wherein_o we_o will_v not_o do_v to_o god_n this_o duty_n that_o we_o believe_v to_o be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o because_o he_o have_v command_v it_o and_o so_o profitable_a unto_o ourselves_o because_o it_o reach_v unto_o every_o part_n and_o period_n or_o state_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n 2_o second_o in_o humble_a thanksgiving_n as_o for_o all_o the_o unestimable_a riches_n and_o treasure_n of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n general_o

upon_o we_o all_o grace_n both_o bodily_a &_o spiritual_o bodily_a as_o the_o sanctification_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n unto_o we_o which_o otherwise_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o sin_n as_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v do_v if_o christ_n have_v not_o die_v for_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v unclean_a unto_o we_o and_o spiritual_a as_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n which_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n believe_v because_o otherwise_o god_n may_v as_o well-condemne_a we_o for_o want_v of_o righteousness_n as_o for_o our_o notorious_a transgression_n and_o many_o such_o other_o particular_n before_o recite_v and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_o provoke_v to_o this_o great_a duty_n of_o thankfulness_n it_o shall_v be_v good_a
