to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n but_o it_o be_v a_o better_a thing_n to_o give_v god_n obedience_n and_o it_o be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o when_o first_o give_v god_n obedience_n we_o then_o come_v

from_o obedience_n obedience_n separate_v from_o and_o perform_v without_o sacrifice_n may_v be_v acceptable_a 5._o obedience_n qualify_v and_o fit_v a_o man_n for_o sacrifice_n and_o prepare_v he_o to_o be_v a_o acceptable_a sacrificer_n but_o sacrifice_n fit_v not_o a_o disobedient_a person_n unto_o obedience_n therefore_o to_o obey_v be_v better_a than_o to_o sacrifice_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n to_o obey_v be_v also_o better_o then_o to_o receive_v sacrament_n it_o be_v a_o more_o spiritual_a service_n then_o bare_a receive_n it_o be_v a_o continual_a and_o a_o more_o daily_a duty_n it_o be_v duty_n which_o many_o do_v not_o can_v do_v that_o yet_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n it_o may_v be_v accept_v when_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o receive_v not_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o

prepare_v thus_o will_v appear_v by_o these_o thing_n 1_o first_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n we_o come_v to_o eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o come_v to_o eat_v
