press_v you_o by_o these_o two_o argument_n and_o so_o conclude_v i._o the_o first_o be_v the_o great_a concern_v we_o have_v make_v show_n of_o about_o our_o religion_n and_o the_o fear_n we_o have_v pretend_v lest_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o unhappy_a as_o to_o lose_v it_o if_o we_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_n concern_v for_o it_o why_o then_o i_o beseech_v you_o do_v we_o not_o take_v care_n to_o keep_v it_o by_o be_v true_o religious_a be_v there_o any_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o they_o be_v trouble_v with_o fear_n of_o lose_v one_o half_o of_o the_o communion_n who_o can_v be_v content_a with_o none_o at_o all_o or_o with_o what_o conscience_n do_v they_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o take_v away_o the_o cup_n from_o the_o people_n when_o they_o themselves_o live_v as_o if_o the_o whole_a sacrament_n be_v unnecessary_a it_o be_v a_o false_a zeal_n which_o declaim_v against_o the_o priest_n receive_v alone_o and_o do_v not_o bring_v man_n to_o receive_v with_o he_o when_o they_o may_v but_o suffer_v he_o still_o to_o remain_v at_o the_o altar_n with_o a_o very_a small_a company_n in_o these_o thing_n we_o accuse_v and_o reproach_v ourselves_o demonstrate_v we_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o religion_n but_o by_o humour_n worldly_a interest_n or_o faction_n for_o no_o man_n can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v true_o solicitous_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o religion_n when_o he_o make_v no_o use_n of_o it_o nor_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o it_o can_v he_o live_v without_o the_o name_n who_o live_v without_o the_o thing_n it_o we_o be_v unseigned_o desirous_a to_o maintain_v the_o estate_n of_o religion_n here_o establish_v let_v we_o serious_o comply_v with_o its_o institution_n and_o serve_v god_n due_o in_o all_o its_o office_n be_v afraid_a of_o this_o above_o all_o other_o thing_n lest_o god_n shall_v therefore_o remove_v our_o candlestick_n out_o of_o its_o place_n because_o we_o will_v not_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n thereof_o therefore_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o opportunity_n of_o the_o holy_a communion_n because_o we_o have_v no_o list_n to_o communicate_v unto_o which_o duty_n let_v we_o stir_v up_o

that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n we_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n profess_v to_o depend_v whole_o upon_o heaven_n in_o the_o use_n of_o spiritual_a weapon_n alone_o for_o our_o protection_n in_o time_n of_o danger_n disclaim_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o take_v up_o arm_n to_o resist_v the_o supreme_a power_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n be_v we_o not_o strange_o forgetful_a then_o if_o we_o accustom_v not_o ourselves_o to_o the_o use_n of_o these_o spiritual_a mean_n for_o our_o safety_n and_o security_n especial_o this_o of_o which_o i_o may_v say_v as_o david_n of_o the_o
