Wee haue sinned and committed iniquitie and haue done wickedly yea we haue rebelled and haue departed from thy precepts and from thy iudgements for we haue not obeied the voice of the Lord our God to walke in his waies which he hath laid before vs by the ministry of his seruants the Prophets Therfore hath the Lord made ready the plague and brought it vpon vs for the Lord our God is righteous in all his workes which he doth for we would not heare his voice Many shall be purified made white and tried but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall haue vnderstanding but the wise shall vnderstand Heare the word of the Lord ye children of Israel Osea against impenitent sinners Cap. 4. for the Lord hath a controuersie with the inhabitants of the land because there is no truth nor mercie nor knowledge of God in the land By swearing and lying and killing stealing and whoring they break out bloud toucheth bloud yet let none rebuke nor reproue another for thy people are as they that rebuke the priests my people are destroied for lack of knowledge because thou hast refused knowledge I will also refuse thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me and seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God I will also forget thy childrē as they were encreased so they sinned against me they eate vp the sinnes of my people and lift vp their mindes in their iniquitie And as theeues waite for a man so the cōpany of the Priests murther in the way by consent for they worke mischiefe Therefore wil I chāge their glorie into shame and there shall be like people like Priest for I will visit their waies vpon them and reward them their deedes Their drunkennes stincketh they haue committed whordome their rulers loue to say with shame bring ye whordome and wine and new wine take away their hearts Therefore shall the Land mourne and euery one that dwelleth therein shall be cut off The Prophet shall fall with thee in the night and I will destroy thy mother They wil not giue their mindes to turne vnto their God for the spirit of fornication is in the middest of them they haue not knowen the Lord.

whosoeuer eateth or drinketh receiue life and not death for the true natural body of Christ is not iudgemēt to any but life vnto all that receiue it therefore that which the wicked eate and drinke is not the body of Christ neither by transubstantiation nor consubstantiation but the Sacrament of his body as Augustine saith by receiuing wherof vnworthily they eate drinke iudgement for the reasons and causes before remembred For the auoyding of which fearefull and intolerable punishment it is necessarie to shew somewhat of the preparation requisite to be made by euery Christian man both before and at his presenting himselfe to this holy table of the Lord. Before the receiuing then of the blessed Sacrament euery true Christian man ought thus to consider with himselfe First by a sound knowledge and good discretion to meditate and imprint deeply in his heart what hee doth either refuse or receiue when he presenteth himselfe at the Communion and holy table of the Lord what he himselfe is that doth receiue The thing hee doth refuse or receiue in by and with this holy Sacrament if hee come with a true and right faith or refuse if he come not so is Iesus Christ perfect God that made all things of nought and perfect man that died for man-kind on the Crosse Hee that receiues must remember and know himselfe to bee a man and not a beast and therefore must present himselfe to this Sacrament like a man in whom the image of God is renued through the worke grace of the holy Ghost all malice and beastlines of sin being subdued and not suffered to raigne and in stead thereof true faith and godlinesse though not perfect which is reserued to the life to come being firmely grounded and planted lest if he come like a beast in vnfaithfulnes and vnholines hee be found an vnworthy partaker of this blessed Sacrament by which meanes he doth not receiue but refuse and put from him the precious body and bloud of the sonne of God to his owne iust and eternall damnation Secondly he must not presume to come but with great deuotion dread and reuerence of heart for seing Iesus Christ who offereth himselfe to bee receiued is holy and all holines he must labour diligenly to receiue him in as much deuotion holines as hee may earnestly confessing and bewailing his former sinnes and wickednes and making earnest and heartie prayers vnto God for pardon and forgiuenes of the same It behoueth him therfore in all humblenes and lowlines of heart before hee receiue this blessed Sacrament to examine search diligently his owne heart and conscience confessing before God in the secret of his heart the miseries of all his sinnes and offences hauing displeasure and greefe at himselfe with deepe sighings sorrowings for all the vncleanes of his body soule lamenting and bewailing that hee is yet so carnall so worldly so wilfull vnmortified in all his passions so full of motions of concupiscences of his sinfull flesh so vnwary ill ordered in all his words and deeds and so encumbred with vaine fancies so much enclined to outward worldly things so negligent and careles to the attainement of spirituall and heauēly things so readie to laughing and wantonnesse so busie in things easie and pleasing to the flesh so slow and hardly drawne to hartie sorrow and earnest repentance for his sinnes and offences or to any care of his soules health being so quick and curious to heare and see the vanities and pleasures of this world so niggardly and scarce to giue so greedie and couetous to scrape together hold and keepe so rude and vnmannured so prodigal riotous and gluttenous in raiment meate and drinke without all hunger desire or thirst to the word of God the precious clothing and foode of the soule so attentiue to toyes and fables so sleepie to all holy exercise so lightly displeased and rigorous to reproue other mens faults so deafe blind froward to heare see or amend his owne faults so glad in prosperitie so feeble in aduersitie so oft purposing many good things so seldome bringing any of thē to effect all which defaults and manie other which he seeth and beholdeth in himselfe when hee hath with great sorrow and displeasure at himselfe for his owne frailenes in his secret heart confessed and bewailed vnto God let him thē in a full purpose through the grace of God set himselfe to amend his sinfull life past and to profit alway from better to better and with great reuerence of heart let him bee afraid as of himselfe knowing his owne wretchednes and vnworthines to approach and come neere so worthy a Lord as Christ is For if a man defiled with filthines stinke be vnworthy to stand in the presence of a king how much more vnworthie is any man as of himselfe to receiue Christ in the precious Sacrament For why all our good deeds are but as vncleannes in his sight what are our sins then neuertheles his goodnes and his pittie is more then al our wretchednes and therefore with all humblenes and lowlines and with a reuerent dread in a full trust and confidence of his great mercy let him goe vnto him for his worthines shall make him worthy let him offer himselfe in humble and hartie prayer vnto God committing vnto him both his body soule to be made by his grace and through the working of the holy Ghost in his heart a worthy partaker of this holy Sacrament that together in by and with the same hee may receiue and bee partaker of the reall naturall holy flesh and bloud of Christ through which hee may be purged of all his sinnes and receiue grace of good life For why for that cause amongst other was this holy Sacrament ordeined that a man through offering of his praiers to God and partaking of this Sacrament should aske pardon and fo●giuenes of all his sinnes and grace of good life and should obtaine it If time therefore doe suffer before the receiuing of the blessed sacrament let him meditate or say on this manner Lord all things bee thine that are in heauen and in earth I desire to offer my selfe vnto thee in a free perpetuall offering so that I may be perpetually with thee in singlenes and simplicity of heart I offer mee this day to be thy seruāt in thy seruice and although I am vnworthy to serue thee yet art not thou vnworthy to haue my seruice make mee therefore worthy of that which thou art worthy of so shall I be worthy of that which now I am vnworthy of make mee as thy will is to cease from sinne that as my dutie binds mee I may serue thee I offer also vnto thee O Lord all my sinnes and offences that I haue committed before thee from the day that I might first offend vnto this day that thou vouchsafe through thy great goodnes to put away all my sinnes out of thy sight and remembrance and to cleanse
