some_o check_n for_o a_o man_n be_v to_o examine_v himself_o concern_v his_o fitness_n and_o if_o he_o eat_v unworthy_o he_o eat_v damnation_n or_o judgement_n to_o himself_o and_o therefore_o a_o private_a member_n have_v here_o no_o call_n or_o warrant_v to_o examine_v the_o fitness_n of_o other_o nor_o do_v they_o that_o be_v unworthy_a eat_v judgement_n to_o he_o but_o to_o themselves_o but_o of_o this_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v at_o large_a §._o 7._o of_o the_o minister_n or_o eldership_n examine_v communicant_n before_o admittance_n §_o 7_o i_o know_v you_o will_v ask_v i_o what_o i_o say_v to_o that_o examination_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n competent_n or_o candidate_n of_o this_o sacrament_n which_o have_v be_v observe_v in_o your_o congregation_n of_o late_a time_n for_o the_o exploration_n only_o of_o their_o competency_n of_o knowledge_n in_o order_n to_o their_o admission_n to_o the_o lord_n table_n i_o profess_v my_o hearty_a sorrow_n for_o the_o rent_n and_o discontent_n which_o have_v ensue_v not_o will_v i_o stand_v up_o to_o justify_v any_o scandalous_a procedure_n which_o have_v arm_v any_o man_n with_o argument_n or_o indignation_n but_o shall_v clear_o without_o any_o fraud_n or_o prevarication_n declare_v my_o opinion_n upon_o the_o thing_n itself_o 1._o i_o do_v not_o enforce_v it_o upon_o this_o text_n which_o do_v not_o intend_v a_o examination_n mere_o by_o propound_v question_n but_o a_o find_v out_o of_o our_o spiritual_a estate_n and_o of_o that_o whole_a fitness_n and_o meetness_n require_v of_o we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o access_n to_o the_o lord_n table_n that_o in_o question_n be_v a_o exploration_n by_o question_n touch_v knowledge_n competent_a or_o sufficient_a this_o in_o the_o text_n be_v require_v before_o every_o sacrament_n that_o but_o once_o in_o order_n to_o first_o admission_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o prove_v it_o not_o by_o this_o text_n so_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v not_o disprove_v by_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o that_o infer_v from_o hence_o against_o all_o examination_n by_o other_o must_v necessary_o destroy_v all_o catechise_n whether_o by_o parent_n master_n or_o other_o which_o can_v be_v every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o examine_v himself_o but_o not_o bind_v from_o examine_v other_o that_o be_v under_o his_o charge_n for_o than_o he_o shall_v be_v bind_v from_o his_o duty_n and_o therefore_o it_o hold_v not_o negative_o that_o no_o man_n may_v examine_v another_o and_o so_o both_o part_n may_v let_v this_o text_n rest_n 2._o the_o church_n of_o christ_n do_v never_o hold_v herself_o unconcerned_a in_o the_o admittance_n of_o member_n into_o her_o society_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n when_o man_n of_o year_n come_v in_o unto_o the_o church_n from_o idolatry_n and_o heathenism_n they_o pass_v a_o severe_a test_n and_o be_v catechize_v a_o long_a time_n before_o they_o become_v competent_n for_o baptism_n and_o at_o their_o baptism_n have_v question_n propound_v and_o by_o they_o answer_v as_o touch_v their_o faith_n and_o purpose_n of_o life_n and_o have_v past_o the_o test_n than_o it_o be_v needless_a at_o the_o supper_n except_o they_o fall_v into_o gross_a sin_n but_o that_o case_n and_o we_o be_v different_a when_o all_o be_v baptize_v in_o infancy_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v catechize_v and_o instruct_v in_o the_o fundamental_o of_o religion_n and_o have_v the_o test_n of_o the_o church_n before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n or_o else_o never_o 3._o therefore_o in_o all_o gospel_n church_n we_o may_v find_v footstep_n of_o this_o exploration_n look_v into_o the_o romish_a and_o popish_a way_n they_o have_v auricular_a concession_n which_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o tyranny_n and_o superstition_n but_o the_o people_n must_v pass_v this_o test_n which_o do_v not_o they_o ignorant_o take_v for_o a_o easy_a way_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n they_o will_v be_v sensible_a of_o as_o extreme_a slavery_n and_o it_o be_v paraeus_n his_o observation_n that_o this_o confession_n be_v of_o old_a institute_v ad_fw-la hanc_fw-la probationem_fw-la for_o this_o trial_n or_o probation_n of_o man_n fitness_n to_o this_o sacrament_n the_o lutheran_n have_v such_o a_o way_n of_o examination_n and_o confession_n too_o as_o chemnitius_n confess_v and_o the_o augustan_n confession_n as_o bellarmine_n note_n be_v plain_a for_o it_o nulli_fw-la admittuntur_fw-la nisi_fw-la prius_fw-la explerati_fw-la and_o so_o in_o england_n it_o be_v order_v that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v admit_v that_o have_v not_o learn_v his_o catechism_n etc._n etc._n i_o do_v not_o bring_v these_o instance_n to_o any_o end_n but_o to_o cry_v down_o the_o ignorant_a opinion_n of_o novelty_n and_o strangeness_n for_o if_o we_o in_o england_n have_v follow_v our_o own_o rule_n it_o have_v not_o be_v such_o a_o stranger_n as_o it_o now_o seem_v 4._o the_o intent_n and_o end_n of_o this_o examination_n in_o question_n be_v partly_o that_o thereby_o the_o church_n may_v know_v she_o own_o member_n and_o their_o due_a qualification_n partly_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o help_n to_o prepare_v and_o put_v into_o the_o way_n such_o as_o can_v not_o examine_v themselves_o for_o if_o the_o church_n shall_v afford_v her_o communion_n to_o all_o at_o all_o adventure_n to_o what_o scandal_n and_o contempt_n shall_v she_o prostitute_v herself_o and_o the_o ordinance_n there_o will_v be_v no_o wisdom_n in_o make_v her_o communion_n like_o that_o of_o a_o common_a inn_n where_o know_v and_o unknown_a be_v all_o alike_o nor_o will_v there_o be_v charity_n to_o suffer_v blind_a folk_n to_o run_v into_o a_o open_a pit_n and_o rush_v on_o the_o swordpoint_n you_o may_v observe_v how_o willing_o a_o patient_a will_v answer_v a_o physician_n question_v he_o about_o his_o bodily_a estate_n and_o a_o client_n his_o counsellor_n question_v he_o about_o his_o title_n or_o because_o because_o both_o be_v in_o order_n to_o advise_v and_o help_v of_o they_o that_o can_v help_v themselves_o and_o such_o be_v this_o if_o it_o be_v so_o well_o interpret_v but_o misrepresentation_n and_o prejudice_n judge_n otherwise_o for_o man_n look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o dominion_n over_o their_o faith_n not_o a_o help_n to_o their_o weakness_n especial_o if_o they_o see_v a_o distance_n keep_v and_o authority_n assume_v they_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o arraignment_n and_o take_v themselves_o to_o come_v to_o a_o bar_n or_o tribunal_n to_o be_v examine_v upon_o delinquency_n which_o kind_n of_o distance_n i_o like_v not_o in_o such_o a_o business_n as_o tend_v to_o society_n and_o communion_n where_o poor_a and_o rich_a be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o if_o any_o man_n through_o mistake_n have_v conceive_v that_o this_o do_v but_o set_v up_o a_o tribunal_n upon_o he_o to_o dive_v into_o his_o breast_n to_o extort_v his_o secret_n like_o a_o auricular_a concession_n i_o blame_v he_o not_o of_o his_o backwardness_n to_o appear_v for_o so_o shall_v i_o for_o i_o abhor_v both_o that_o tyranny_n and_o that_o superstition_n but_o if_o no_o more_o be_v but_o that_o the_o church_n will_v know_v my_o faith_n or_o help_v my_o ignorance_n i_o see_v not_o but_o i_o may_v conclude_v with_o mr_n hooker_n a_o man_n i_o know_v of_o reverence_n with_o you_o in_o his_o five_o book_n of_o ecclesiastical_a polity_n when_o in_o answer_n to_o mr_n cartwright_n upon_o this_o point_n have_v these_o word_n the_o examination_n of_o communicant_n when_o need_n require_v for_o the_o profitable_a use_v it_o may_v have_v in_o such_o case_n we_o reject_v not_o and_o so_o paraeus_n examen_fw-la publicum_fw-la aut_fw-la privatum_fw-la non_fw-la respuimus_fw-la 11._o 1_o cor._n 11._o modo_fw-la absit_fw-la so_o as_o tyranny_n and_o superstition_n be_v keep_v out_o give_v i_o leave_v upon_o those_o word_n of_o mr_n hooker_n to_o infer_v and_o say_v 1._o to_o they_o that_o ask_v for_o a_o direct_a precept_n or_o injunction_n for_o this_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o order_n not_o of_o faith_n it_o be_v of_o profitable_a use_n say_v hooker_n not_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n for_o than_o i_o must_v be_v examine_v too_o and_o it_o will_v extend_v to_o all_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o yet_o you_o exact_v it_o not_o at_o minister_n hand_n nor_o man_n of_o know_a sufficiency_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n but_o of_o order_n i_o mean_v not_o of_o necessity_n to_o worthy_a receiver_n 3._o in_o some_o case_n profitable_a and_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o we_o be_v in_o a_o singular_a and_o particular_a case_n here_o in_o england_n for_o you_o know_v man_n and_o
