A58139	A treatise of sacramental convenanting with Christ shewing the ungodly their contempt of Christ, in their contempt of the Sacremental covenant : and calling them (not to a profanation of this holy ordnanice [sic], but) to an understanding, serious, entire dedication of themselves to God in the sacramental covenant, and a believing commemoration of the death of Christ / by M.M.	Rawlet, John, 1642-1686.	1667 (1667)	Wing R360A; ESTC R39731	215,644	320

we_o be_v to_o do_v in_o order_n to_o the_o due_a improvement_n of_o sacrament_n to_o our_o advantage_n even_o to_o remember_v often_o what_o a_o strict_a covenant_n we_o thereby_o enter_v into_o that_o by_o the_o remembrance_n thereof_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o awe_v and_o restrain_v from_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o it_o thus_o ought_v you_o to_o make_v use_n of_o your_o baptism_n which_o be_v i_o doubt_v too_o seldom_o mind_v often_o you_o shall_v think_v how_o absolute_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o take_v he_o for_o your_o god_n to_o who_o you_o be_v so_o early_o devote_v remember_v the_o end_n of_o it_o and_o now_o see_v to_o answer_v and_o attain_v i●_n which_o you_o may_v find_v full_o express_v rom._n 6.3_o 4._o therefore_o be_v we_o bury_v with_o christ_n by_o

of_o life_n whenever_o you_o see_v a_o child_n baptise_v let_v it_o bring_v to_o your_o mind_n that_o you_o be_v once_o so_o dedicate_v to_o god_n and_o admit_v into_o his_o church_n and_o then_o

with_o god_n especial_o make_v this_o use_n of_o it_o when_o you_o meet_v with_o temptation_n to_o any_o sin_n whatever_o or_o when_o you_o begin_v to_o grow_v careless_a and_o remiss_a in_o your_o

i_o argue_v that_o for_o my_o oath_n be_v sake_n and_o for_o those_o that_o sit_v with_o i_o i_o will_v not_o do_v thus_o for_o not_o one_o of_o my_o fellow-communicants_a but_o may_v witness_v to_o

so_o dear_a and_o which_o i_o have_v protest_v against_o i_o be_o now_o no_o company_n for_o you_o for_o i_o have_v take_v the_o sacrament_n depart_v satan_n and_o tempt_v i_o not_o from_o my_o
