this_o be_v a_o poor_a and_o weak_a testament_n which_o give_v nothing_o oh_o the_o goodly_a testament_n that_o ever_o be_v make_v for_o it_o bring_v to_o we_o the_o 3._o remission_n of_o sin_n it_o

thou_o all_o this_o and_o save_v thy_o life_n and_o set_v thou_o at_o liberty_n as_o though_o thou_o have_v never_o offend_v so_o i_o and_o thou_o and_o every_o one_o here_o have_v commit_v treason_n against_o the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o stand_v condemn_v for_o it_o not_o to_o suffer_v and_o then_o be_v free_a like_v they_o which_o break_v the_o law_n of_o man_n but_o to_o suffer_v and_o

which_o shall_v have_v crucify_v we_o come_v to_o be_v crucify_v of_o we_o for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v say_v with_o steadfast_a say_v i_o believe_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n not_o the_o

it_o be_v say_v until_o he_o come_v if_o he_o be_v to_o come_v than_o he_o be_v not_o come_v if_o he_o be_v come_v how_o can_v we_o say_v until_o he_o come_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o verse_n be_v

be_v much_o at_o one_o so_o that_o if_o you_o call_v this_o sacrament_n a_o show_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o it_o be_v call_v here_o than_o it_o be_v not_o christ_n or_o if_o you_o call_v it_o a_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v call_v there_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o christ_n but_o a_o show_n or_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n but_o this_o be_v such_o a_o show_n and_o remembrance_n that_o the_o next_o verse_n say_v whosoever_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o be_v guilty_a 27._o of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ._n will_v you_o know_v who_o receive_v unworthy_o in_o the_o 29_o verse_n unworthy_o paul_n say_v he_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n i._n e._n which_o put_v no_o difference_n between_o this_o bread_n and_o oath_n but_o eat_v like_o a_o child_n the_o meat_n which_o he_o know_v not_o and_o after_o the_o bread_n seem_v stone_n to_o he_o &_o the_o wine_n poison_n because_o his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o i_o have_v receive_v unworthy_o before_o i_o can_v say_v like_o david_n my_o heart_n be_v prepare_v my_o sheep_n say_v christ_n know_v my_o voice_n as_o 27_o they_o discern_v christ_n body_n and_o therefore_o so_o often_o as_o they_o come_v into_o the_o lord_n table_n they_o seem_v to_o come_v into_o the_o lord_n presence_n there_o they_o greet_v and_o kiss_v and_o embrace_v one_o another_o with_o affection_n which_o none_o can_v know_v but_o they_o that_o feel_v like_o john_n which_o 25_o leap_v in_o the_o womb_n so_o soon_o as_o christ_n come_v near_o he_o will_v you_o know_v beside_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n even_o as_o judas_n be_v guilty_a for_o betray_v he_o and_o pilate_n for_o deliver_v he_o and_o the_o jew_n for_o crucify_a he_o so_o they_o be_v guilty_a which_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n unworthy_o as_o pilate_n and_o caiphas_n and_o judas_n be_v if_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o christ_n death_n they_o be_v guilty_a of_o their_o own_o death_n too_o as_o if_o they_o have_v commit_v two_o murder_n and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v after_o that_o 30._o many_o of_o the_o chorinthians_n die_v only_o for_o the_o unworthy_a receive_v this_o sacrament_n as_o the_o word_n be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n to_o they_o which_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o so_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n to_o they_o which_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o it_o never_o go_v into_o 16._o their_o mouth_n but_o they_o be_v traitor_n ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la and_o may_v say_v to_o hell_n this_o day_n have_v i_o take_v possession_n of_o thou_o because_o i_o be_o guilty_a of_o christ_n blood_n therefore_o it_o follow_v immediate_o table_n let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o before_o he_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n or_o drink_v of_o this_o wine_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o he_o which_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n unworthy_o be_v guilty_a of_o christ_n death_n like_o judas_n which_o hang_v himself_o if_o these_o sign_n be_v receive_v to_o salvation_n

ought_v to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n at_o night_n as_o christ_n do_v he_o must_v understand_v that_o we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o cause_n to_o do_v so_o which_o christ_n have_v because_o of_o the_o passover_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n which_o have_v discretion_n of_o time_n and_o place_n have_v alter_v both_o the_o time_n and_o the_o place_n use_v the_o temple_n in_o stead_n of_o

for_o now_o be_v the_o action_n and_o sum_n of_o all_o salvation_n in_o handle_v if_o they_o do_v prepare_v themselves_o so_o before_o they_o do_v receive_v the_o figure_n of_o this_o sacrament_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v prepare_v before_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n itself_o therefore_o as_o josiah_n command_v the_o levite_n to_o prepare_v the_o 35._o people_n so_o paul_n advise_v the_o people_n to_o prepare_v themselves_o that_o be_v to_o examine_v whether_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o love_n and_o repentance_n before_o they_o come_v to_o this_o feast_n by_o this_o all_o may_v see_v first_o that_o paul_n scripture_n will_v have_v every_o layman_n skilful_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o examine_v himself_o by_o it_o for_o this_o admonition_n be_v not_o to_o they_o which_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n but_o to_o all_o which_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o rule_n by_o which_o we_o must_v examine_v ourselves_o be_v the_o law_n by_o which_o we_o shall_v obey_v therefore_o if_o the_o rule_n be_v unknown_a the_o examination_n must_v be_v undo_v our_o doctrine_n must_v be_v note_n examine_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o

be_v examine_v by_o the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o the_o law._n now_o he_o which_o have_v this_o touchstone_n may_v try_v gold_n from_o copper_n etc._n but_o he_o which_o have_v it_o not_o takes_z one_o for_o the_o other_o therefore_o before_o paul_n examine_v you_o have_v need_v to_o learn_v christ_n search_n search_v 39_o the_o scripture_n and_o they_o will_v lighten_v you_o to_o search_v

art_n how_o to_o examine_v yourselves_o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o before_o he_o eat_v here_o be_v first_o a_o examination_n diusion_n second_o a_o examination_n of_o ourselves_o three_o a_o

and_o again_o at_o next_o word_n examine_v yourselves_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v this_o work_n must_v be_v do_v whon_n it_o be_v do_v because_o it_o be_v never_o thorough_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v double_v our_o examination_n as_o paul_n double_v his_o counsel_n if_o a_o man_n suspect_v his_o enemy_n he_o will_v try_v he_o with_o a_o question_n if_o that_o will_v not_o search_v he_o he_o will_v put_v forth_o another_o if_o that_o be_v spy_v he_o will_v move_v another_o like_o one_o which_o put_v divers_a key_n into_o a_o lock_n until_o it_o open_v so_o he_o which_o examine_v 1_o must_v try_v and_o try_v prove_v and_o prove_v search_n and_o search_v for_o the_o angel_n of_o darkness_n be_v like_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o we_o have_v no_o way_n to_o discover_v he_o but_o that_o of_o john_n try_v the_o spirit_n god_n examine_v with_o trial_n the_o devil_n examine_v with_o temptation_n the_o world_n examine_v with_o persecution_n we_o which_o be_v thus_o examine_v have_v need_n to_o examine_v too_o if_o any_o man_n skill_n not_o what_o examine_v mean_v the_o very_a word_n examine_v be_v so_o pregnant_a that_o it_o prompt_v we_o how_o we_o shall_v examine_v for_o it_o signify_v to_o put_v ourselves_o unto_o the_o touchstone_n as_o if_o we_o will_v try_v gold_n from_o coper_n therefore_o one_o say_v that_o examination_n be_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n whereby_o she_o see_v herself_o &_o her_o safety_n and_o her_o danger_n and_o her_o way_n which_o she_o walk_v examination_n and_o her_o pace_n which_o she_o hold_v and_o the_o end_n to_o which_o she_o tend_v she_o look_v into_o her_o glass_n and_o spy_v every_o spot_n in_o her_o face_n how_o all_o her_o grace_n be_v stain_v then_o she_o take_v the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o wash_v her_o

they_o fade_v and_o decay_v that_o she_o feel_v a_o consumption_n then_o she_o take_v preservative_n and_o restorative_n of_o prayer_n and_o council_n and_o repentance_n before_o the_o sickness_n grow_v thus_o every_o day_n she_o let_v down_o a_o bucket_n into_o her_o heart_n to_o see_v what_o water_n it_o bring_v up_o lest_o she_o shall_v corrupt_v within_o and_o perish_v sudden_o to_o hear_v and_o read_v and_o pray_v and_o sast_z and_o communicate_v be_v a_o work_n of_o many_o but_o to_o examine_v those_o work_n be_v the_o fashion_n of_o few_o and_o therefore_o jeremy_n complain_v no_o man_n say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v no_o man_n examine_v himself_o 6._o and_o therefore_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v say_v but_o of_o one_o that_o he_o 28._o

when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o examiner_n we_o intend_v one_o which_o examine_v other_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o accuser_n we_o intend_v one_o which_o accuse_v other_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o

as_o the_o pharisee_n examine_v the_o publican_n lest_o thou_o have_v peter_n check_n when_o he_o examine_v what_o john_n shall_v do_v christ_n say_v what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o follow_v thou_o i_o thou_o be_v 11_o a_o private_a man_n and_o have_v a_o private_a examination_n therefore_o let_v thy_o question_n be_v what_o have_v i_o do_v and_o make_v thy_o anatomy_n of_o thy_o 22._o self_n see_v

that_o he_o deceive_v other_o ten_o time_n he_o deceive_v himself_o because_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o wily_a servant_n and_o will_v lie_v like_o gehezi_n to_o his_o master_n &_o face_v he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v when_o it_o come_v from_o sin_n therefore_o as_o elisha_n examine_v his_o servant_n so_o the_o soul_n must_v examine_v 25_o her_o servant_n that_o be_v man_n must_v be_v jealous_a of_o himself_o and_o take_v himself_o for_o a_o liar_n for_o a_o flatterer_n for_o a_o dissembler_n until_o he_o be_v 26_o thorough_o acquaint_v with_o himself_o for_o no_o man_n be_v so_o often_o
