upon_o as_o a_o uncertain_a may_v be_v remember_v christian_a and_o believe_v in_o thy_o heart_n what_o christ_n say_v joh_n 6._o 56._o he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n

by_o sincere_a communicate_v you_o may_v warrantable_o expect_v to_o be_v confirm_v christian_n by_o the_o seal_n of_o god_n for_o a_o bless_a eternity_n and_o therefore_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o

say_v joh._n 6._o 51._o i_o be_o the_o live_a bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o he_o well_o know_v that_o our_o

he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o continue_v to_o inculcat_fw-la the_o certainty_n thereof_o to_o ver_fw-la 59_o trust_v then_o what_o he_o say_v that_o if_o thou_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n of_o life_n at_o his_o table_n which_o the_o believe_a partaker_n do_v than_o thou_o shall_v not_o die_v but_o live_v for_o ever_o this_o shall_v raise_v thy_o desire_n for_o this_o enrich_a ordinance_n that_o thy_o doubt_v may_v be_v turn_v into_o rejoice_v in_o god_n thy_o saviour_n i_o may_v add_v here_o that_o our_o desire_n for_o this_o holy_a communion_n shall_v be_v so_o sincere_a and_o strong_a that_o believer_n shall_v endeavour_v frequent_a communicate_v but_o have_v occasion_n elsewhere_o to_o speak_v a_o little_a of_o frequency_n in_o partake_v i_o shall_v now_o only_o put_v

charge_v on_o the_o one_o side_n nor_o sinful_a negligence_n on_o the_o other_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o many_o godly_a minister_n celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n very_o frequent_o by_o principle_n of_o conscience_n and_o love_n to_o that_o duty_n and_o shall_v not_o be_v otherwise_o judge_v of_o by_o these_o who_o celebrate_v more_o seldom_o and_o other_o godly_a minister_n can_v have_v this_o ordinnce_n so_o frequent_o celebrate_v ●ho_n by_o their_o principle_n judge_v it_o necessary_a to_o examine_v most_o of_o the_o communicant_n before_o celebration_n that_o they_o may_v the_o better_o know_v the_o state_n of_o their_o flock_n which_o require_v a_o considerable_a portion_n of_o time_n for_o its_o performance_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o stumble_v on_o either_o

but_o not_o how_o often_o yet_o because_o it_o mention_v often_o and_o because_o of_o the_o love_n we_o shall_v have_v to_o frequent_a fellowship_n with_o christ_n in_o that_o way_n of_o his_o own_o
