the_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n than_o by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n for_o since_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n to_o pitch_v upon_o this_o way_n of_o do_v it_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o for_o we_o vain_o to_o inquire_v whether_o he_o may_v not_o have_v make_v use_n of_o some_o other_o this_o we_o ought_v at_o least_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v his_o reason_n for_o prefer_v this_o and_o that_o however_o we_o ought_v not_o so_o far_o to_o tie_v up_o the_o power_n and_o liberty_n of_o our_o creator_n as_o to_o presume_v to_o say_v he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o have_v redeem_v we_o than_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n yet_o thus_o much_o we_o may_v and_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o conclude_v that_o none_o can_v have_v better_o or_o so_o well_o have_v answer_v the_o great_a end_n both_o of_o his_o justice_n and_o of_o his_o mercy_n or_o more_o illustrious_o have_v set_v forth_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n to_o mankind_n or_o more_o powerful_o have_v engage_v we_o to_o a_o suitable_a return_n of_o love_n to_o he_o or_o more_o clear_o have_v convince_v we_o of_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n to_o sin_n or_o more_o effectual_o have_v stir_v we_o up_o to_o our_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o live_v as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o as_o become_v those_o who_o have_v be_v so_o wonderful_o redeem_v by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o but_o though_o this_o than_o be_v a_o question_n otherwise_o of_o more_o curiosity_n than_o use_v and_o raise_v for_o the_o most_o part_n rather_o to_o cavil_v at_o religion_n than_o to_o magnify_v the_o power_n of_o it_o yet_o may_v it_o here_o perhaps_o be_v of_o some_o benefit_n to_o we_o to_o fill_v our_o soul_n with_o the_o high_a resentment_n of_o love_n and_o gratitude_n to_o our_o great_a redeemer_n to_o consider_v not_o only_o from_o what_o misery_n he_o have_v deliver_v we_o but_o with_o what_o a_o freedom_n and_o readiness_n and_o goodwill_n to_o we_o he_o do_v it_o no_o god_n be_v not_o constrain_v nor_o any_o necessity_n put_v upon_o our_o saviour_n christ_n as_o if_o either_o the_o one_o must_v have_v die_v or_o that_o the_o other_o can_v not_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n have_v reconcile_v mankind_n unto_o himself_o it_o be_v the_o free_a choice_n of_o both_o by_o this_o mean_n the_o better_a to_o magnify_v their_o love_n to_o we_o and_o to_o secure_v our_o love_n and_o duty_n to_o they_o again_o that_o so_o as_o st._n john_n say_v 1_o ep._n four_o 19_o we_o may_v love_v god_n because_o he_o first_o love_v we_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n every_o where_o set_v out_o to_o we_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o free_a choice_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n so_o say_v st._n john_n cap._n iii._o 16_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n so_o say_v st._n paul_n 2_o tim._n i_o 9_o where_o he_o make_v the_o business_n of_o our_o redemption_n to_o have_v be_v the_o eternal_a purpose_n of_o god_n before_o adam_n have_v yet_o sin_v or_o by_o consequence_n before_o there_o can_v be_v any_o necessity_n of_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o who_o have_v save_v we_o say_v he_o and_o call_v we_o with_o a_o holy_a call_v not_o according_a to_o our_o work_n but_o according_a to_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o grace_n which_o be_v give_v we_o in_o christ_n jesus_n before_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v we_o not_o only_o that_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o tit._n two_o 14_o but_o that_o he_o do_v it_o with_o all_o imaginable_a readiness_n and_o with_o the_o same_o goodwill_n with_o which_o god_n design_v it_o lo_o i_o come_v say_v he_o to_o fulfil_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n heb._n x._o 7_o 9_o and_o again_o in_o st._n john_n speak_v of_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o he_o declare_v 18_o ver_fw-la 18._o no_o man_n take_v it_o from_o i_o but_o i_o lay_v it_o down_o of_o myself_o i_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o i_o have_v power_n to_o take_v it_o again_o such_o therefore_o be_v the_o love_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o we_o in_o free_o give_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o death_n for_o we_o and_o for_o the_o reason_n that_o induce_v he_o to_o it_o and_o the_o benefit_n which_o thereby_o accrue_v to_o we_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o say_v either_o what_o or_o how_o great_a they_o be_v indeed_o the_o time_n will_v fail_v i_o shall_v i_o go_v about_o particular_o to_o lay_v they_o all_o before_o you_o miserable_a be_v the_o state_n and_o deplorable_a the_o condition_n of_o mankind_n beyond_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o be_v able_a almost_o to_o conceive_v we_o be_v all_o dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n and_o must_v for_o ever_o have_v lie_v both_o under_o the_o gild_n and_o punishment_n of_o our_o transgression_n have_v not_o the_o bless_a jesus_n open_v to_o we_o the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n and_o seal_v a_o gospel_n of_o repentance_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n our_o nature_n be_v decay_v and_o that_o he_o have_v restore_v so_o that_o whereas_o before_o we_o have_v no_o sufficiency_n of_o ourselves_o we_o have_v now_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o god_n 13_o and_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v we_o our_o sin_n have_v get_v the_o dominion_n over_o we_o and_o these_o he_o have_v not_o only_o very_o much_o prevent_v by_o his_o grace_n but_o will_v also_o utter_o wipe_v away_o by_o his_o death_n and_o satisfaction_n for_o we_o we_o be_v under_o a_o miserable_a sentence_n of_o death_n and_o judgement_n but_o christ_n have_v now_o take_v away_o the_o sting_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o other_o so_o that_o our_o temporal_a death_n be_v no_o long_o a_o punishment_n but_o rather_o a_o blessing_n to_o we_o and_o the_o eternal_a judgement_n of_o god_n shall_v instead_o of_o be_v our_o condemnation_n prove_v to_o we_o perfect_a absolution_n and_o a_o glorious_a reward_n this_o be_v the_o bless_a change_n which_o have_v be_v make_v in_o our_o condition_n and_o which_o certain_o ought_v to_o render_v the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o text_n most_o dear_a and_o precious_a to_o we_o but_o i_o must_v not_o insist_v any_o long_o upon_o this_o point_n i_o be_o persuade_v there_o be_v no_o one_o that_o now_o hear_v i_o so_o ignorant_a in_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n as_o not_o to_o be_v full_o acquaint_v with_o this_o first_o and_o chief_a foundation_n of_o all_o our_o faith_n nor_o have_v i_o mention_v that_o little_a which_o i_o have_v now_o remark_v of_o it_o so_o much_o to_o instruct_v you_o in_o what_o you_o ought_v to_o make_v a_o great_a part_n of_o your_o memorial_n when_o you_o come_v to_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n as_o rather_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o stir_v up_o some_o affection_n both_o in_o myself_o and_o you_o that_o may_v be_v suitable_a to_o a_o serious_a reflection_n on_o all_o these_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o it_o may_v be_v in_o the_o world_n more_o apt_a to_o fill_v our_o soul_n with_o that_o due_a resentment_n we_o then_o especial_o aught_o to_o have_v of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o come_v to_o this_o sacred_a memorial_n of_o it_o than_o to_o consider_v the_o wretched_a condition_n from_o which_o we_o be_v deliver_v by_o it_o nor_o more_o apt_a to_o engage_v we_o to_o live_v as_o become_v those_o who_o have_v be_v free_v from_o such_o unspeakable_a misery_n and_o be_v now_o put_v into_o a_o capacity_n of_o everlasting_a glory_n and_o without_o which_o our_o remembrance_n of_o he_o in_o this_o sacrament_n will_v be_v a_o reproach_n and_o a_o scandal_n not_o a_o honour_n and_o a_o service_n to_o he_o we_o shall_v forfeit_v all_o the_o benefit_n of_o that_o death_n we_o be_v call_v to_o commemorate_v and_o as_o our_o apostle_n phrase_n it_o ver_fw-la 29._o of_o this_o chapter_n eat_v and_o drink_v our_o own_o damnation_n not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o do_v in_o pursuance_n of_o the_o command_n of_o the_o text_n this_o do_v in_o remembrance_n of_o me._n second_o this_o remember_v of_o christ_n in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n will_v oblige_v we_o to_o consider_v what_o that_o death_n and_o passion_n be_v which_o he_o undergo_v for_o our_o sake_n and_o command_v we_o in_o this_o place_n to_o continue_v the_o memory_n of_o in_o this_o institution_n and_o this_o to_o be_v sure_o must_v be_v the_o proper_a business_n of_o every_o one_o when_o
can_v that_o soul_n expect_v any_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n for_o his_o forgiveness_n hereafter_o who_o now_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v that_o common_a acknowledgement_n which_o every_o christian_a ought_v of_o his_o remembrance_n of_o it_o or_o show_v any_o sense_n of_o his_o obligation_n though_o we_o have_v here_o so_o plain_a and_o peremptory_a a_o com●●●d_n to_o do_v it_o and_o if_o we_o look_v to_o the_o denuntiation_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n against_o those_o who_o shall_v thus_o neglect_v to_o join_v in_o the_o jewish_a passover_n and_o show_v forth_o this_o remembrance_n of_o the_o deliverance_n which_o that_o feast_n refer_v to_o we_o may_v i_o think_v have_v some_o cause_n to_o fear_n how_o much_o great_a shall_v be_v our_o punishment_n who_o neglect_n be_v certain_o upon_o many_o account_n much_o more_o inexcusable_a than_o they_o if_o any_o man_n say_v moses_n deut._n twelve_o 15_o shall_v eat_v leavened-bread_n in_o that_o time_n that_o soul_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o israel_n but_o more_o express_o numb_a ix_o 3_o he_o that_o be_v clean_a and_o be_v not_o on_o a_o journey_n and_o forbear_v to_o keep_v the_o passover_n even_o the_o same_o soul_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o people_n whatever_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o excision_n be_v which_o god_n here_o threaten_v that_o people_n with_o whether_o it_o be_v that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v as_o some_o interpret_v it_o or_o that_o god_n will_v cut_v he_o off_o by_o a_o untimely_a temporal_a death_n as_o other_o or_o last_o which_o be_v esteem_v by_o they_o no_o small_a curse_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v childless_a and_o have_v his_o name_n put_v out_o in_o israel_n this_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o denunciation_n be_v very_o severe_a and_o if_o the_o remark_n of_o a_o very_a learned_a 15_o rabbin_z be_v true_a almost_o particular_a to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n there_o be_v but_o two_o of_o all_o the_o affirmative_a precept_n to_o which_o god_n make_v this_o denunciation_n viz._n to_o he_o that_o neglect_v the_o first_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n and_o this_o second_o of_o the_o passover_n but_o perhaps_o it_o will_v here_o be_v say_v that_o this_o commination_n be_v to_o those_o that_o be_v clean_o and_o near_o at_o hand_n and_o yet_o neglect_v this_o holy_a institution_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o they_o with_o reference_n to_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n which_o we_o be_v speak_v of_o who_o will_v glad_o receive_v it_o and_o have_v a_o very_a honourable_a remembrance_n in_o their_o heart_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n but_o alas_o either_o they_o be_v not_o clean_o or_o be_v in_o a_o journey_n either_o they_o be_v not_o prepare_v or_o have_v not_o the_o leisure_n to_o come_v to_o this_o table_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o god_n do_v here_o restrain_v the_o judgement_n i_o have_v mention_v to_o such_o as_o be_v clean_o and_o at_o or_o near_o to_o jerusalem_n but_o the_o rest_n be_v not_o therefore_o by_o any_o mean_v excuse_v and_o permit_v to_o neglect_v the_o partake_n of_o it_o they_o have_v time_n give_v they_o till_o the_o next_o month_n to_o cleanse_v themselves_o and_o to_o come_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n and_o if_o they_o neglect_v in_o the_o second_o month_n to_o keep_v the_o feast_n after_o have_v omit_v it_o in_o the_o first_o there_o be_v then_o no_o far_o provision_n for_o they_o but_o they_o fall_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o those_o who_o neglect_v altogether_o to_o eat_v of_o it_o and_o this_o therefore_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o useful_a admonition_n as_o well_o as_o full_a answer_n to_o the_o excuse_n of_o those_o who_o be_v still_o pretend_v they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n or_o else_o have_v not_o time_n and_o leisure_n to_o prepare_v themselves_o for_o it_o if_o indeed_o this_o shall_v chance_v by_o any_o accident_n to_o hinder_v they_o at_o this_o time_n or_o on_o this_o occasion_n from_o receive_v of_o it_o they_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o disquiet_v themselves_o but_o to_o believe_v that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n our_o saviour_n christ_n will_v make_v the_o same_o allowance_n for_o this_o feast_n that_o god_n do_v for_o that_o other_o and_o permit_v they_o yet_o another_o month_n to_o remove_v the_o obstacle_n and_o prepare_v themselves_o to_o come_v to_o his_o table_n but_o if_o instead_o of_o do_v this_o they_o shall_v still_o go_v on_o to_o insist_v upon_o these_o vain_a pretence_n and_o live_v so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v worthy_a to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o continue_v to_o live_v so_o still_o without_o take_v any_o care_n to_o put_v themselves_o into_o a_o better_a state_n this_o will_v prove_v a_o aggravation_n of_o their_o sin_n not_o a_o lessen_v of_o it_o and_o their_o neglect_n will_v be_v but_o the_o more_o inexcusable_a for_o be_v ground_v on_o a_o reason_n so_o contrary_a not_o only_o to_o the_o design_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n but_o of_o the_o whole_a christian_a religion_n but_o sixthly_a and_o to_o close_v all_o the_o command_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o these_o word_n we_o have_v be_v so_o long_o consider_v will_v not_o only_o oblige_v we_o in_o the_o general_n sometime_o to_o remember_v his_o death_n by_o receive_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n but_o frequent_o and_o oftentimes_o so_o to_o do_v i_o have_v before_o observe_v that_o the_o word_n which_o we_o here_o render_v remembrance_n do_v not_o imply_v a_o bare_a memorial_n but_o a_o renew_v commemoration_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o be_v often_o to_o refresh_v the_o memory_n of_o christ_n death_n in_o our_o mind_n by_o this_o sacred_a solemnity_n and_o to_o repeat_v again_o and_o again_o the_o remembrance_n of_o it_o and_o though_o it_o be_v pretty_a hard_a to_o say_v how_o often_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n yet_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o be_v not_o so_o zealous_a a_o christian_n as_o he_o shall_v be_v that_o very_o seldom_o or_o never_o do_v it_o we_o know_v that_o in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o christianity_n when_o devotion_n be_v quick_a and_o vigorous_a and_o man_n have_v the_o most_o sensible_a impression_n upon_o their_o mind_n of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o give_v himself_o to_o die_v for_o we_o that_o then_o they_o receive_v it_o ordinary_o every_o day_n insomuch_o that_o some_o of_o those_o father_n who_o then_o live_v have_v interpret_v this_o eucharistical_a bread_n to_o be_v that_o daily_a bread_n which_o our_o lord_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o afterward_o as_o man_n zeal_n cool_v so_o do_v their_o frequent_a communicate_v

the_o distinctive_a devotion_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o at_o last_o the_o necessary_a lest_o proportion_n establish_v be_v the_o three_o great_a feast_n of_o the_o year_n in_o which_o our_o church_n still_o oblige_v all_o her_o member_n to_o partake_v of_o it_o but_o as_o he_o who_o be_v in_o a_o pure_a and_o holy_a state_n can_v never_o receive_v it_o too_o often_o so_o certain_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n than_o which_o none_o will_v more_o advance_v our_o piety_n to_o labour_v as_o frequent_o as_o we_o can_v to_o fit_v ourselves_o for_o it_o and_o since_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o revive_v something_o of_o the_o primitive_a zeal_n among_o we_o as_o to_o this_o particular_a in_o bring_v our_o solemn_a communion_n to_o a_o monthly_a course_n beside_o other_o extraordinary_a

of_o you_o to_o examine_v and_o prepare_v yourselves_o then_o at_o least_o to_o join_v with_o your_o brethren_n in_o these_o holy_a return_n and_o not_o deprive_v your_o soul_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o be_v thus_o gracious_o offer_v to_o you_o in_o this_o great_a and_o most_o useful_a remembrance_n this_o will_v indeed_o both_o best_a answer_n the_o design_n of_o our_o bless_a lord_n in_o
