admonition_n and_o instruction_n out_o of_o very_a scripture_n itself_o the_o best_a warrant_n of_o all_o other_o which_o say_v omit_v divers_a other_o that_o the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o my_o opinion_n that_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n avail_v not_o one_o jot_n in_o outward_a ceremony_n unless_o it_o be_v accompany_v by_o a_o real_a and_o pure_a intention_n of_o the_o receiver_n which_o be_v also_o apparent_o verify_v in_o the_o last_o supper_n our_o saviour_n make_v with_o his_o apostle_n when_o as_o the_o eleven_o be_v strong_o confirm_v in_o their_o faith_n and_o virtue_n by_o their_o good_a intention_n in_o that_o holy_a institution_n and_o exercise_n as_o bring_v love_n to_o accompany_v their_o duty_n and_o service_n whereas_o judas_n that_o wicked_a traitor_n eat_v christ_n body_n with_o a_o false_a heart_n and_o a_o corrupt_a soul_n which_o make_v he_o not_o only_o at_o that_o very_a instant_n go_v go_v forth_o hasty_o to_o perform_v his_o horrible_a intention_n without_o seem_v at_o all_o to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o heinousness_n of_o his_o crime_n but_o afterward_o it_o take_v from_o he_o the_o least_o appearance_n of_o any_o grace_n insomuch_o as_o he_o neither_o can_v not_o repent_v or_o have_v any_o confidence_n in_o god_n forgiveness_n and_o therefore_o only_o in_o a_o desperate_a manner_n return_v the_o money_n he_o have_v take_v and_o present_o go_v and_o hang_v himself_o who_o else_o may_v have_v find_v as_o much_o mercy_n as_o the_o thief_n do_v upon_o the_o cross_n since_o god_n goodness_n be_v beyond_o all_o transgression_n of_o man_n provide_v there_o be_v a_o fit_a compliance_n on_o his_o part_n which_o however_o as_o i_o say_v can_v be_v obtain_v be_v accompany_v with_o any_o manner_n of_o hypocrisy_n and_o dissimulation_n in_o regard_n god_n almighty_n be_v only_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n and_o not_o of_o deceit_n as_o himself_o have_v often_o declare_v beside_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o that_o take_v the_o sacrament_n unworthy_o decern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n to_o his_o further_a guilt_n and_o condemnation_n so_o that_o we_o may_v confident_o conclude_v who_o do_v not_o prepare_v himself_o as_o he_o shall_v in_o the_o entertain_n of_o this_o admirable_a benefit_n intend_v for_o man_n preservation_n and_o salvation_n do_v fit_v his_o person_n the_o ready_a for_o the_o devil_n service_n and_o possession_n since_o as_o i_o say_v before_o god_n almighty_n do_v chief_o aim_n at_o the_o heart_n and_o intention_n without_o which_o he_o will_v not_o be_v please_v by_o what_o formality_n soever_o neither_o can_v his_o omnipotent_a justice_n be_v cozen_v by_o any_o humane_a hypocrisy_n since_o his_o divine_a science_n be_v able_a as_o you_o have_v hear_v to_o sift_v the_o subtle_a thought_n of_o the_o very_a angel_n before_o they_o fall_v wherefore_o it_o be_v a_o most_o ridiculous_a chimaera_n to_o think_v that_o the_o gross_a craft_n of_o man_n can_v cover_v or_o conceal_v anything_o from_o his_o infinite_a knowledge_n and_o as_o much_o simplicity_n accompany_v with_o impiety_n to_o believe_v that_o man_n have_v power_n to_o prevent_v his_o own_o punishment_n if_o he_o offend_v this_o omnipotent_a science_n in_o this_o nature_n which_o be_v grant_v the_o only_a way_n to_o make_v this_o necessary_a preparation_n be_v exact_o to_o follow_v the_o rule_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v entire_o to_o be_v sorrowful_a for_o our_o fault_n to_o confess_v they_o true_o without_o any_o manner_n of_o guile_n or_o affectation_n and_o last_o though_o not_o least_o of_o all_o to_o make_v full_a and_o willing_a satisfaction_n to_o any_o we_o have_v injure_v without_o all_o which_o condition_n as_o no_o seem_a absolution_n that_o be_v give_v can_v be_v valid_a so_o shall_v the_o receive_v not_o only_o be_v most_o horrid_a but_o the_o great_a sacrilege_n can_v be_v commit_v upon_o earth_n since_o neither_o long_a prayer_n exact_a fast_n or_o frequent_a alm_n deed_n can_v profit_v anything_o to_o purpose_n without_o these_o punctual_a or_o intentional_a observation_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n almighty_n be_v a_o jealous_a god_n and_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v without_o our_o whole_a heart_n and_o best_a action_n which_o be_v free_o bestow_v upon_o he_o he_o be_v not_o only_o most_o easy_a to_o be_v please_v but_o ready_a in_o every_o occasion_n to_o cover_v and_o forgive_v the_o frailty_n of_o our_o nature_n that_o at_o the_o best_a have_v
