three_o general_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o who_o ever_o have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n must_v sanctify_v god_n in_o it_o 1._o reason_n because_o god_n command_v it_o god_n say_v he_o will_v be_v sanctify_v and_o god_n will_n be_v our_o law_n god_n do_v not_o only_o command_v the_o substance_n but_o the_o circumstance_n not_o only_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_n but_o the_o manner_n and_o though_o the_o matter_n be_v good_a if_o the_o manner_n of_o performance_n be_v naught_o god_n do_v not_o regard_v it_o you_o see_v what_o he_o say_v to_o the_o jew_n he_o that_o sacrifice_v be_v as_o he_o who_o kill_v a_o man_n and_o he_o that_o kill_v a_o lamb_n as_o if_o he_o cut_v off_o a_o dog_n head_n and_o he_o who_o burn_v incense_v as_o he_o who_o bless_v a_o idol_n isa_n 66.3_o isa_n 66.3_o 66.3_o these_o seem_v strange_a expression_n what_o be_v not_o these_o such_o duty_n as_o god_n command_v do_v not_o god_n command_v sacrifice_n etc._n etc._n yes_o but_o because_o they_o do_v they_o not_o in_o that_o manner_n god_n command_v therefore_o be_v they_o abominable_a to_o he_o if_o therefore_o thou_o give_v god_n the_o bulk_n of_o outward_a performance_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o devotion_n thou_o deal_v by_o he_o as_o prometheus_n by_o jupiter_n who_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o present_v he_o with_o nothing_o but_o bone_n cover_v over_o with_o skin_n or_o to_o use_v the_o scripture_n phrase_n you_o compass_n god_n with_o a_o lie_n hos_fw-la 11.12_o 11.12_o hos_fw-la 11.12_o thou_o give_v he_o the_o shell_n of_o outward_a performance_n but_o not_o the_o kernel_n of_o inward_a devotion_n thou_o give_v he_o a_o body_n without_o a_o soul_n and_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o soul_n be_v dead_a and_o stink_v so_o do_v that_o service_n which_o want_v the_o spirit_n as_o god_n will_n do_v command_v service_n so_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n must_v perform_v service_n though_o our_o will_n must_v be_v no_o instrument_n of_o devise_v service_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v a_o instrument_n in_o perform_v service_n though_o god_n will_v not_o own_o will-worship_n in_o regard_n of_o prescription_n yet_o he_o will_v own_v it_o in_o regard_n of_o performance_n and_o none_o else_o thus_o you_o see_v god_n command_v it_o and_o therefore_o etc._n etc._n coena_fw-la impü_fw-la petram_fw-la lambunt_fw-la

ordinance_n no_o good_a of_o comfort_n nor_o none_o of_o grace_n if_o indeed_o the_o sacrament_n do_v ex_fw-la opere_fw-la operato_fw-la confer_v grace_n or_o if_o that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o instrument_n for_o the_o beget_n of_o grace_n in_o graceless_a heart_n than_o may_v you_o get_v good_a though_o you_o come_v unprepared_o the_o word_n it_o be_v set_v up_o for_o that_o end_n to_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o regeneration_n and_o therefore_o though_o you_o come_v unprepared_o thither_o yet_o you_o may_v be_v wrought_v upon_o there_o aug._n there_o nemo_fw-la bone_fw-la qui_fw-la non_fw-la ex_fw-la malo_fw-la bone_fw-la aug._n many_o that_o have_v come_v to_o the_o word_n with_o purpose_n to_o scoff_n to_o taunt_v to_o deride_v nay_o to_o ensnare_v and_o accuse_v who_o yet_o have_v be_v wrought_v on_o there_o and_o send_v away_o other_o man_n be_v the_o sacrament_n set_v up_o for_o such_o a_o end_n to_o beget_v grace_n where_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n than_o may_v you_o get_v good_a though_o you_o come_v unprepared_o and_o unsanctify_o thither_o but_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v never_o set_v up_o for_o such_o a_o end_n here_o its_o true_a habenti_fw-la dabitur_fw-la to_o he_o that_o have_v shall_v be_v give_v he_o that_o have_v grace_n shall_v in_o the_o exercise_n improve_v his_o grace_n but_o he_o that_o come_v graceless_a hither_o go_v graceless_a away_o nay_o worse_o than_o he_o come_v which_o be_v the_o next_o reason_n 3._o reason_n because_o otherwise_o we_o get_v much_o hurt_v the_o ordinance_n be_v not_o idle_a but_o operative_a they_o either_o work_n for_o life_n or_o they_o work_v for_o death_n as_o paul_n say_v of_o the_o word_n it_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o life_n and_o of_o death_n so_o i_o may_v say_v of_o every_o ordinance_n there_o be_v never_o a_o time_n you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n but_o you_o be_v set_v a_o step_n near_a heaven_n or_o hell_n so_o never_o a_o time_n you_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n etc._n etc._n the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n may_v be_v wholesome_a in_o itself_o yet_o adam_n do_v eat_v his_o death_n when_o he_o taste_v of_o it_o contrary_a to_o god_n command_n so_o here_o the_o sacrament_n though_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v good_a yet_o it_o become_v the_o bane_n and_o destruction_n of_o those_o soul_n who_o partake_v thereof_o unworthy_o as_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v precious_a thing_n when_o god_n be_v sanctify_v in_o they_o so_o
