one_o of_o these_o though_o in_o the_o former_a we_o be_v 2._o and_o first_o for_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v before_o receive_v s._n paul_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v examination_n 1_o cor._n 11_o

examination_n examination_n i_o must_v in_o the_o general_n tell_v you_o that_o the_o special_a business_n we_o have_v to_o do_v in_o this_o sacrament_n be_v to_o repeat_v and_o renew_v that_o covenant_n we_o make_v with_o god_n in_o our_o baptism_n which_o we_o have_v many_o way_n grievous_o break_v it_o please_v god_n in_o this_o great_a mercy_n to_o suffer_v we_o to_o come_v to_o the_o renew_n of_o it_o in_o this_o sacrament_n which_o if_o we_o do_v in_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n he_o have_v promise_v to_o accept_v as_o and_o to_o give_v we_o all_o those_o benefit_n in_o this_o which_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o bestow_v in_o the_o other_o sacrament_n if_o we_o have_v not_o by_o our_o own_o fault_n forfeit_v they_o since_o then_o the_o renew_n of_o our_o covenant_n be_v our_o business_n of_o this_o time_n it_o follow_v that_o these_o three_o thing_n be_v necessary_a towards_o it_o first_o that_o we_o understand_v what_o that_o covenant_n be_v second_o that_o we_o consider_v what_o our_o breach_n of_o it_o have_v be_v and_o three_o that_o we_o resolve_v upon_o a_o strict_a observance_n of_o it_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o life_n and_o the_o try_v ourselves_o in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o particular_n be_v that_o examination_n which_o be_v require_v of_o we_o before_o we_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n 3._o and_o first_o we_o be_v to_o examine_v knowledge_n whether_o we_o understand_v what_o this_o covenant_n be_v this_o be_v exceed_v necessary_a as_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o both_o the_o other_o for_o it_o be_v neither_o possible_a to_o discover_v our_o past_a sin_n nor_o to_o settle_v purpose_n against_o they_o for_o the_o future_a without_o it_o let_v this_o therefore_o be_v your_o first_o business_n try_v whether_o you_o right_o understand_v what_o that_o covenant_n be_v which_o you_o enter_v into_o at_o your_o baptism_n what_o be_v the_o mercy_n promise_v on_o god_n part_n and_o the_o duty_n on_o you_o and_o because_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o each_o of_o we_o in_o baptism_n be_v only_o the_o apply_v to_o our_o particular_n the_o covenant_n make_v by_o god_n in_o christ_n with_o all_o mankind_n in_o general_n you_o be_v to_o consider_v whether_o you_o understand_v that_o if_o you_o do_v not_o you_o must_v immediate_o seek_v for_o instruction_n in_o it_o and_o till_o you_o have_v mean_n of_o gain_v better_a look_v over_o what_o be_v brief_o say_v in_o the_o entrance_n to_o this_o treatise_n concern_v the_o second_o covenant_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o that_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o we_o in_o our_o baptism_n and_o because_o you_o will_v there_o find_v that_o obedience_n to_o all_o god_n command_n be_v the_o condition_n require_v of_o we_o and_o be_v also_o that_o which_o we_o express_o vow_v in_o our_o baptism_n it_o be_v necessary_a you_o shall_v likewise_o know_v what_o those_o command_n of_o god_n be_v therefore_o if_o you_o find_v you_o be_v ignorant_a of_o they_o never_o be_v at_o rest_n till_o you_o have_v get_v yourself_o instruct_v in_o they_o and_o have_v gain_v such_o a_o measure_n of_o knowledge_n as_o may_v direct_v you_o to_o do_v that_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n which_o god_n require_v and_o the_o give_v thou_o this_o instruction_n be_v the_o only_a aim_n of_o this_o book_n which_o the_o more_o ignorant_a thou_o be_v the_o more_o earnest_o i_o shall_v entreat_v thou_o diligent_o to_o read_v and_o if_o thou_o have_v heretofore_o approach_v to_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n in_o utter_a ignorance_n of_o these_o necessary_a thing_n bewail_v thy_o sin_n in_o so_o do_v but_o presume_v not_o to_o come_v again_o till_o thou_o have_v by_o gain_v this_o necessary_a knowledge_n fit_v thyself_o for_o it_o which_o thou_o must_v hasten_v to_o do_v for_o though_o no_o man_n must_v come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n in_o such_o ignorance_n yet_o if_o he_o wilful_o continue_v in_o it_o that_o will_v be_v no_o excuse_n to_o he_o for_o keep_v from_o this_o holy_a table_n 4._o the_o second_o part_n of_o our_o examination_n be_v concern_v our_o breach_n of_o this_o covenant_n sin_n and_o here_o thou_o will_v find_v the_o use_n of_o that_o knowledge_n i_o speak_v of_o for_o there_o be_v no_o way_n of_o discover_v what_o our_o sin_n have_v be_v but_o by_o try_v our_o action_n by_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o they_o sort_n the_o law_n of_o god_n when_o therefore_o thou_o set_v to_o this_o part_n of_o examination_n remember_v what_o be_v the_o several_a branch_n of_o thy_o duty_n and_o then_o ask_v thy_o own_o heart_n in_o every_o particular_a how_o thou_o have_v perform_v it_o and_o content_v not_o thyself_o with_o know_v in_o general_n that_o thou_o have_v break_v god_n law_n but_o do_v thy_o utmost_a to_o discover_v in_o what_o particular_n thou_o have_v do_v so_o recall_v as_o well_o as_o thou_o can_v all_o the_o passage_n of_o thy_o life_n and_o in_o each_o of_o they_o consider_v what_o part_n of_o that_o duty_n have_v be_v transgress_v by_o it_o and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o grosser_n act_n but_o in_o word_n also_o nay_o even_o in_o thy_o most_o secret_a thought_n for_o though_o man_n law_n reach_v not_o to_o they_o yet_o god_n do_v so_o that_o whatever_o he_o forbid_v in_o the_o act_n he_o forbid_v likewise_o in_o the_o thought_n and_o desire_n and_o see_v they_o as_o clear_o as_o our_o most_o public_a act_n this_o particular_a search_n be_v excee_o necessary_a for_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o any_o sin_n but_o only_o to_o he_o that_o confess_v and_o forsake_v it_o now_o to_o both_o these_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o have_v a_o distinct_a and_o particular_a knowledge_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o how_o can_v he_o either_o confess_v his_o sin_n that_o know_v not_o his_o guilt_n of_o it_o or_o how_o can_v he_o resolve_v to_o forsake_v it_o that_o discern_v not_o himself_o to_o have_v former_o cleave_v to_o it_o therefore_o we_o may_v sure_o conclude_v that_o this_o examination_n be_v not_o only_o useful_a but_o necessary_a towards_o a_o full_a and_o complete_a repentance_n for_o he_o that_o do_v not_o take_v this_o particular_a view_n of_o his_o sin_n will_v be_v likely_a to_o repent_v but_o by_o half_n which_o will_v never_o avail_v he_o towards_o his_o pardon_n nothing_o but_o a_o entire_a forsake_v of_o every_o evil_a way_n be_v sufficient_a for_o that_o but_o sure_o of_o all_o other_o time_n it_o concern_v we_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n our_o repentance_n be_v full_a and_o complete_a and_o therefore_o this_o strict_a search_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n be_v then_o especial_o necessary_a for_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a by_o all_o our_o diligence_n to_o discover_v or_o remember_v every_o sin_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n and_o though_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o what_o be_v so_o unavoidable_o hide_v from_o we_o may_v be_v forgive_v without_o any_o more_o particular_a confession_n then_o that_o of_o david_n psalm_n 19_o 12._o cleanse_v thou_o i_o from_o my_o secret_a fault_n yet_o this_o will_v be_v no_o plea_n for_o we_o if_o they_o come_v to_o be_v secret_a only_o because_o we_o be_v negligent_a in_o search_v therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o deceive_v thyself_o in_o this_o weighty_a business_n but_o search_v thy_o soul_n to_o the_o bottom_n without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o wound_n thereof_o shall_v ever_o be_v thorough_o cure_v 5._o and_o as_o you_o be_v to_o inquire_v thus_o narrow_o concern_v the_o several_a sort_n of_o sin_n degree_n so_o also_o must_v you_o concern_v the_o degree_n of_o they_o for_o there_o be_v divers_a circumstance_n which_o increase_n and_o heighten_v the_o sin_n of_o this_o sort_n there_o be_v many_o as_o first_o when_o we_o sin_n against_o knowledge_n that_o be_v when_o we_o certain_o know_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v a_o sin_n yet_o for_o the_o present_a pleasure_n or_o profit_n or_o whatever_o other_o motive_n adventure_n of_o it_o this_o be_v by_o christ_n himself_o adjudge_v to_o be_v a_o great_a heighten_v of_o the_o sin_n he_o that_o know_v his_o master_n will_n and_o
