that_o keep_v holy_a day_n the_o soul_n can_v never_o forget_v those_o time_n of_o communion_n that_o it_o have_v with_o god_n nor_o those_o bosom_n embrace_n nor_o those_o sweet_a kiss_n that_o it_o

god_n again_o a_o soul_n that_o have_v have_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o christ_n o_o how_o do_v it_o long_o after_o further_a fellowship_n with_o he_o 3._o it_o leave_v in_o a_o man_n a_o love_n to_o those_o ordinance_n wherein_o it_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n o_o how_o be_v the_o soul_n in_o love_n with_o those_o prayer_n which_o bring_v christ_n to_o it_o and_o in_o love_n with_o that_o word_n wherein_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v to_o his_o soul_n how_o be_v it_o take_v with_o every_o ordinance_n wherein_o the_o influence_n of_o heaven_n be_v distil_v and_o drop_v upon_o they_o 4._o it_o leave_v a_o impression_n upon_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n the_o holiness_n of_o god_n be_v of_o a_o transform_a nature_n act_v 4.15_o they_o take_v knowledge_n of_o they_o that_o they_o have_v be_v with_o jesus_n they_o see_v that_o they_o have_v enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n why_o there_o be_v such_o beam_n of_o the_o majesty_n and_o the_o beauty_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n leave_v upon_o they_o that_o they_o that_o see_v they_o may_v easy_o know_v that_o they_o have_v see_v god_n and_o have_v enjoy_v communion_n with_o he_o and_o it_o be_v say_v of_o stephen_n they_o behold_v his_o face_n as_o the_o face_n of_o a_o angel_n when_o he_o be_v before_o the_o council_n 5._o if_o you_o have_v fellowship_n &_o communion_n with_o god_n you_o will_v have_v acquaintance_n with_o god_n and_o familiarity_n with_o he_o job_n 22.21_o acquaint_v thyself_o with_o god_n etc._n etc._n a_o soul_n can_v enjoy_v communion_n with_o a_o stranger_n till_o he_o be_v familiarize_v into_o his_o acquaintance_n communion_n speak_v the_o choice_a familiarity_n between_o person_n if_o your_o soul_n have_v have_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o god_n than_o you_o be_v bring_v into_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n 6._o if_o your_o soul_n have_v enjoy_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o god_n you_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o keep_v god_n company_n and_o walk_v with_o god_n let_v other_o walk_v which_o way_n they_o please_v it_o be_v say_v of_o enoch_n to_o his_o praise_n that_o he_o walk_v with_o god_n and_o god_n speak_v to_o abraham_n walk_v before_o i_o and_o be_v thou_o perfect_a 7._o a_o soul_n that_o have_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n be_v sensible_a of_o all_o god_n withdrawment_n he_o know_v when_o god_n come_v in_o and_o when_o god_n go_v out_o at_o a_o ordinance_n how_o many_o person_n be_v there_o that_o never_o mind_n either_o the_o access_n or_o recess_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o spirit_n when_o they_o come_v in_o to_o appear_v before_o god_n in_o ordinance_n 8._o there_o will_v be_v a_o sweet_a agreement_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o soul_n can_v two_o walk_v together_o except_o they_o be_v agree_v in_o what_o path_n they_o shall_v go_v and_o what_o step_v they_o shall_v take_v that_o which_o be_v god_n way_n shall_v be_v the_o soul_n way_n god_n will_v not_o go_v one_o

these_o thing_n alas_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o very_a ordinance_n believer_n will_v never_o be_v so_o often_o in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o little_a bread_n and_o wine_n at_o a_o sacrament_n who_o will_v sit_v down_o at_o it_o with_o such_o great_a delight_n if_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o pray_v in_o prayer_n who_o will_v lose_v any_o time_n about_o it_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hear_v in_o hear_v if_o there_o be_v not_o the_o power_n of_o god_n go_v along_o with_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n what_o be_v it_o and_o therefore_o when_o you_o see_v the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n so_o often_o employ_v themselves_o about_o spiritual_a ordinance_n when_o you_o see_v they_o begin_v the_o day_n with_o prayer_n and_o end_v the_o day_n with_o thanksgiving_n when_o you_o see_v they_o fix_v their_o soul_n to_o meditate_v upon_o god_n you_o may_v well_o conclude_v there_o be_v more_o than_o the_o bare_a ordinance_n nay_o in_o every_o ordinance_n remember_v it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o ordinance_n sake_n but_o for_o communion_n with_o god_n which_o be_v the_o main_a end_n why_o god_n set_v up_o ordinance_n use_v 2_o for_o examination_n how_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o have_v have_v any_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n or_o no._n this_o be_v a_o serious_a question_n and_o deserve_v more_o than_o a_o slight_a answer_n communion_n with_o god_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o more_o concernment_n and_o of_o great_a moment_n than_o most_o man_n be_v a_o ware_n of_o and_o we_o use_v to_o try_v thing_n that_o will_v not_o be_v take_v from_o we_o without_o trial_n consider_v three_o thing_n 1._o god_n have_v scale_n to_o weigh_v all_o your_o grace_n 2._o he_o have_v touchstone_n

thing_n where_o there_o may_v be_v credit_n sometime_o man_n take_v that_o for_o fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n which_o be_v not_o and_o sometime_o mendeny_v that_o for_o fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n that_o be_v first_o some_o man_n take_v that_o for_o fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n which_o be_v not_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o look_v like_o fellowshp_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n that_o be_v not_o 1._o there_o be_v some_o imperfect_a approach_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o soul_n of_o unregenerate_a man_n in_o ordinance_n when_o there_o be_v no_o reciprocal_a approach_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o unregenerate_a man_n to_o god_n 2._o when_o their_o spirit_n be_v only_o passive_a and_o not_o active_a god_n call_v upon_o they_o to_o seek_v his_o face_n but_o their_o heart_n never_o answer_v lord_n thy_o face_n will_v i_o seek_v as_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o righteous_a do_v second_o some_o man_n deny_v that_o for_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n which_o be_v common_a take_v these_o two_o distinction_n 1._o dist._n communion_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n be_v sometime_o secret_a and_o sometime_o more_o manifest_a first_o it_o be_v secret_a god_n do_v not_o always_o speak_v peace_n with_o a_o loud_a voice_n he_o sometime_o speak_v peace_n with_o a_o still_a voice_n cant._n 5.4_o 5._o there_o communion_n with_o god_n be_v more_o secret_a my_o belove_a put_v in_o his_o hand_n by_o the_o hole_n of_o the_o door_n and_o my_o bowel_n be_v move_v for_o he_o i_o rise_v up_o to_o open_a to_o my_o

in_o hide_a room_n in_o secret_a chamber_n together_o at_o other_o time_n they_o be_v walk_v in_o the_o open_a gallery_n 2._o distinction_n there_o be_v a_o sanctify_a communion_n and_o there_o be_v a_o ravish_a communion_n the_o sanctifying-communion_n may_v be_v where_o the_o ravish_a communion_n may_v not_o be_v ps_n 51.8_o make_v i_o to_o of_o hear_v joy_n and_o gladness_n etc._n etc._n

may_v know_v whether_o you_o have_v fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n or_o no_o by_o three_o thing_n 1._o by_o something_o before_o duty_n 2._o by_o something_o in_o duty_n 3._o by_o something_o after_o duty_n first_o by_o something_o before_o duty_n if_o you_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o these_o three_o character_n 1._o if_o god_n before_o raise_v

king_n in_o his_o sanctuary_n o_o that_o i_o may_v be_v able_a to_o see_v the_o print_n and_o footstep_n of_o god_n in_o such_o and_o such_o a_o ordinance_n god_n will_v never_o deceive_v the_o

may_v certain_o conclude_v thou_o shall_v have_v fellowship_n with_o he_o 2._o if_o god_n before_o hand_n put_v thy_o heart_n into_o a_o suitable_a frame_n to_o the_o duty_n than_o thou_o may_v
