will_v lose_v all_o the_o ordinance_n that_o you_o enjoy_v except_o you_o meet_v with_o christ_n in_o they_o 3._o be_v communion_n with_o god_n the_o great_a end_n of_o god_n in_o ordinance_n hence_o then_o learn_v this_o that_o when_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o ordinance_n be_v not_o enjoy_v than_o the_o ultimate_a end_n of_o all_o the_o ordinance_n be_v frustrate_v you_o lose_v the_o end_n for_o which_o all_o preach_a and_o pray_v and_o hear_v be_v ordain_v while_o communion_n be_v miss_v while_o you_o have_v no_o communion_n with_o god_n ordinance_n never_o attain_v their_o appoint_a end_n how_o sad_a be_v it_o to_o use_v the_o mean_n and_o never_o attain_v the_o end_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o thousand_o of_o soul_n that_o live_v under_o choice_a administration_n and_o yet_o be_v never_o bring_v into_o a_o state_n of_o communion_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n though_o it_o be_v declare_v to_o they_o how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o lie_v a_o long_a time_n at_o the_o pool_n and_o yet_o never_o see_v any_o angel_n come_v down_o to_o stir_v the_o water_n that_o lie_n by_o the_o side_n of_o the_o pool_n but_o be_v never_o put_v into_o the_o pool_n o_o how_o sad_a be_v it_o that_o such_o excellent_a ordinance_n shall_v lose_v their_o end_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v so_o long_o have_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o never_o be_v better_v by_o they_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o attain_v those_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v 4._o be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o main_a end_n of_o god_n in_o establish_v and_o set_v up_o of_o ordinance_n be_v to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o himself_o then_o let_v every_o soul_n take_v heed_n of_o throw_v down_o of_o ordinance_n let_v every_o soul_n be_v exceed_o tender_a of_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n lest_o they_o throw_v down_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o live_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n though_o god_n have_v not_o tie_v himself_o to_o ordinance_n yet_o he_o have_v tie_v we_o to_o ordinance_n and_o in_o my_o own_o experience_n i_o have_v know_v many_o man_n grow_v worse_o but_o never_o any_o man_n grow_v better_a by_o the_o neglect_v of_o ordinance_n there_o be_v no_o communion_n to_o be_v have_v with_o god_n but_o in_o ordinance_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o go_v from_o ordinance_n you_o will_v be_v fetch_v home_o by_o a_o smart_a rod_n if_o you_o belong_v to_o god_n what_o ever_o you_o do_v be_v very_o tender_a of_o

worthy_a that_o trample_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n wherewith_o they_o be_v sanctify_v and_o count_v it_o a_o unholy_a thing_n o_o it_o be_v sad_a to_o see_v how_o many_o soul_n there_o be_v that_o cast_v dirt_n upon_o those_o ordinance_n that_o be_v the_o chariot_n in_o which_o jesus_n christ_n ride_v to_o take_v up_o soul_n into_o communion_n with_o himself_o 5._o if_o communion_n be_v the_o main_a end_n of_o god_n in_o set_v up_o of_o ordinance_n behold_v then_o whence_o it_o be_v and_o why_o it_o be_v that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v so_o much_o trouble_v when_o they_o want_v the_o sensible_a enjoyment_n of_o communion_n with_o god_n they_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o truth_n the_o ordinance_n in_o its_o end_n be_v lose_v to_o they_o when_o a_o child_n go_v out_o to_o seek_v his_o father_n and_o can_v find_v he_o it_o be_v a_o great_a grief_n to_o he_o believer_n go_v out_o in_o gospell-ordinance_n to_o seek_v after_o god_n and_o when_o they_o can_v find_v he_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o grievous_a to_o their_o spirit_n cant._n 3.1_o by_o night_n upon_o my_o bed_n i_o seek_v he_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v but_o i_o find_v he_o not_o divine_a endeavour_n do_v not_o always_o meet_v with_o divine_a success_n she_o seek_v he_o i_o but_o she_o find_v he_o not_o so_o many_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o meet_v with_o god_n in_o a_o

lie_v under_o or_o can_v lie_v under_o in_o this_o world_n be_v the_o withdrawment_n of_o god_n from_o ordinance_n when_o he_o think_v to_o find_v god_n in_o they_o he_o be_v depart_v from_o they_o they_o shall_v go_v with_o their_o flock_n and_o their_o herd_n to_o seek_v after_o the_o lord_n but_o they_o shall_v not_o find_v he_o for_o he_o have_v withdraw_v himself_o 6._o be_v it_o the_o main_a end_n of_o god_n in_o set_v up_o ordinance_n that_o his_o saint_n may_v have_v communion_n with_o he_o then_o learn_v hence_o the_o ground_n why_o the_o saint_n set_v so_o high_a a_o price_n upon_o and_o be_v so_o often_o find_v in_o divine_a ordinance_n it_o be_v because_o they_o there_o meet_v with_o communion_n with_o god_n now_o the_o meeting_n with_o god_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o their_o so_o often_o appearing_n before_o he_o alas_o it_o be_v not_o their_o meeting_n together_o that_o they_o aim_v at_o but_o their_o meeting_n with_o god_n that_o they_o look_v after_o if_o god_n be_v want_v all_o be_v want_v if_o god_n be_v there_o nothing_o be_v want_v ordinance_n alas_o they_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o god_n they_o be_v but_o paint_v sword_n in_o dead_a man_n hand_n they_o can_v raise_v the_o heart_n when_o it_o be_v fall_v they_o can_v refresh_v the_o heart_n when_o it_o be_v sad_a they_o can_v enlighten_v the_o soul_n when_o there_o be_v a_o cloud_n upon_o it_o they_o can_v draw_v the_o heart_n to_o heaven_n when_o it_o be_v earthly_a they_o can_v resolve_v any_o doubt_n that_o be_v upon_o their_o spirit_n no_o these_o thing_n be_v too_o great_a and_o too_o
