of_o sin_n we_o may_v be_v sure_o they_o be_v forgive_v if_o we_o ask_v in_o faith_n we_o may_v be_v assure_v by_o the_o way_n take_v notice_n of_o the_o folly_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o think_v

it_o help_v our_o understanding_n by_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o be_v a_o confirmation_n as_o a_o seal_n by_o virtue_n whereof_o christ_n be_v pass_v and_o make_v over_o to_o we_o so_o that_o we_o have_v as_o true_a a_o interest_n and_o right_n to_o he_o as_o to_o our_o meat_n and_o drink_n yea_o hereby_o he_o become_v as_o effectual_o we_o for_o every_o purpose_n in_o our_o spiritual_a life_n as_o our_o meat_n and_o drink_n do_v for_o our_o corporal_n to_o which_o end_n these_o element_n be_v change_v spiritual_o in_o their_o nature_n not_o in_o substance_n but_o in_o use_n so_o that_o which_o be_v but_o now_o a_o common_a bread_n become_v as_o far_o different_a as_o heaven_n be_v from_o earth_n be_v alter_v in_o its_o use_n for_o instance_n the_o wax_n whereby_o the_o king_n pass_v over_o

reason_n why_o this_o bless_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v term_v a_o communion_n namely_o because_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n whereby_o christ_n instate_v i_o into_o himself_o and_o whereby_o i_o have_v fellowship_n and_o communion_n with_o he_o in_o the_o word_n than_o we_o have_v these_o particular_n viz._n 1._o a_o sin_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v presume_v to_o eat_v that_o bread_n or_o drink_v that_o cup_n unworthy_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n a_o great_a sin_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n in_o a_o unworthy_a manner_n 2._o a_o punishment_n he_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n or_o judgement_n unto_o himself_o so_o that_o now_o what_o be_v ordain_v to_o life_n and_o appoint_v to_o be_v a_o seal_n and_o confirmation_n of_o god_n love_n and_o

what_o it_o be_v intend_v 3._o a_o reason_n because_o he_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n but_o take_v they_o as_o ordinary_a thing_n deem_v the_o element_n not_o different_a from_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o we_o have_v at_o our_o table_n not_o know_v that_o they_o be_v the_o dish_n wherein_o christ_n be_v serve_v in_o unto_o we_o that_o by_o these_o the_o great_a gift_n be_v give_v we_o and_o nourishment_n convey_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o our_o spiritual_a life_n this_o life_n be_v give_v we_o in_o baptism_n but_o in_o and_o by_o these_o sign_n be_v convey_v spiritual_a

now_o when_o we_o discern_v not_o this_o nor_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n see_v christ_n jesus_n crucify_v for_o we_o and_o by_o these_o element_n convey_v unto_o we_o but_o take_v they_o hand_n

1._o show_v in_o general_n what_o it_o be_v to_o eat_v unworthy_o 2._o what_o it_o be_v to_o eat_v judgement_n and_o then_o 3._o i_o will_v come_v to_o the_o particular_n how_o this_o sin_n may_v be_v avoid_v and_o what_o the_o particular_n be_v wherein_o the_o sin_n consist_v 1._o concern_v the_o first_o what_o it_o be_v to_o eat_v unworthy_o obj._n and_o here_o may_v some_o say_v be_v there_o any_o of_o we_o who_o can_v avouch_v that_o he_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n worthy_o be_v any_o so_o presumptuous_a to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o eat_v christ_n flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n as_o for_o bodily_a food_n and_o entertainment_n the_o centurion_n can_v say_v i_o be_o not_o worthy_a that_o thou_o shall_v come_v under_o my_o roof_n how_o then_o come_v this_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o which_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o lord_n body_n unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o sol._n but_o here_o understand_v what_o be_v set_v down_o worthiness_n be_v not_o always_o take_v for_o a_o matter_n of_o merit_n or_o proportion_n of_o worth_n between_o the_o person_n give_v and_o receive_v but_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v often_o take_v for_o that_o which_o be_v meet_v fit_v and_o beseem_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o apostle_n use_v it_o 1_o cor._n 16.4_o if_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o i_o go_v also_o they_o shall_v go_v with_o i_o
