sense of sin is required here and self-denyal is required here self-loathing is required here that a heavenly frame comprehends the fear of God must be there to come trembling and quaking to the Ordinances of Christ to have love burning as a coal within thy breast to be content to do any thing that Christ may be glorified and magnified these things is required to a heavenly frame and that must be to make the house ready and the mouth opened wide for the Son of God 4ly A fourth thing required in the preparing of the heart is a chearful welcoming and a chearful imbracing of any offer that Christ give you of any meat that he brings with him indeed the Christian that opens his mouth wide that is squeamish stomaked he will not take every thing for the Worship of God but will be tender there and he will not take every thing for Ordinance but if it be a dry morfel I resolve for a dry Morsel if it come out of Christs hand that will be sweet a right relishing of what ever he has that comes from Christ though it should be bitter and displeasing to Flesh and Blood it may be the Lord will fill the Communicants of Carrick with nothing but reproof and he will say that is all I have to give you the day I am angry at your wickedness and I am angry at your baseness and ye must welcome such a dinner if it were but a reproof if it were but a Frown and if it were but an affliction that is bitter to the Spirit yee must welcome it if it were a cross and if it were to tell you the day yee must cr'e long suffer yee must Seal these Truths with your Blood if it were to resolve to see your Husbands Head hap for this work resolve to hear the news that your Husbands Carcass shall fall on the Top of the Mountains to be meat for Doggs and the Fowls and if it were to tell you that yee must goe to the Prison the next day and that is all yee will get but if yce be right yee must welcome all Christs allowances be it sweet or be it sour it may be some of you shall not have the promise the day of clearing of your Interest but it may be yee will get that will cause you to go home weeping and Mourning you must welcome it if your hearts be right oppened this day yee will be made to see let Christ give me what he will if it be his allowance I desire to welcome him and it both as to the priviledge I need not stand upon it I will fill it there is no great task as if he had said that I do require at your hand it cost your Master another thing it put your blessed Lord to Swim the Sea of wrath and it put him to Travel through the Fire of Gods anger and it put him before the Axe and Hammer of the Justice of God and to let Justice lay on what stroaks he pleased but as for you you come easily by it it is only to open the mouth O that he purchased at such a rate he comes to you for nothing but open your mouths wide and receive it it is true ye will may be Travel for it and it is true ye will suffer for it but what is that being weighted in the ballance of the Sanctuary it is open it as wide as ye will and the more wide it be the more acceptable to me there is two things that I shall speak of here 1. Yee see the holy Ghost does suppose there is some Folks that does not open the mouth to these Gospel priviledges does all the World receive them now does all the world open their mouths no no their would not need such intreaty to open their mouths if it were but so read a little further in the Psalm and you will see that entertainment yee give him the next word is my People would not hearken to my voice Israel would have none of me oft-times he brings his rich rare precious Priviledges but not received Two considerations to clear this 1. The many different complaints made by our Lord in offering them as when tears came over his cheeks when looking to Jerusalem 2. What means so many running to the Ale-houses and so many sleeping at Communions Preface before the Tables Do ye know this day that our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ is King of Sion do ye know that it is he that ye have to do with this day not only a Jealous God but it is the same Lord Jesus that has helped many a poor creature that has Triumphed in the world and has carryed in many a Fleece to Glory that some time a day was as far aback from Heaven as ye are that has rejoyced in bringing in poor sinners to himself and making way for their wellfare and it s that same Lord Jesus that is this day treading upon the necks of Devils that is this day tormenting many a Man or Woman in Hell it is that same Lord Jesus that has stained his Rayment with the Blood of his Enemies and has refused Salvation to many a Countrey-side and has refused the offers of mercy to many Men and Women up and down the world it is he that is come to Carrick this day it is he that is travelling among you and behold he comes bringing Salvation with him and we must say it behold he comes meek and lowly riding on an Ass and a Coalt the Foal of an Asse and his bowels this day are yearning on you that are here it is he that hath prepared a Feast a Feast of Fat things of Wine on the Lees well refined and O but he showes bowels and O but he showes much tenderness and O but he showes much kindness in the day he provides a Feast for poor sinners for his poor afflicted people he knew very well that we could not live without him he knew we had perished if he had not once exposed himself to Death on our behalf and he knew very well that we had but starved if he had not been given now and then a Feast Now that Scotland may not Starve amidst all the sad designs of our Enemies not to have us starved out of hand and that we may not perish in the midst of the sad designs and contrivances of our Enemies he has this day prepared this allowance for you and it is you that he is calling to open your mouths wide that he may fill them in sign and token that he will be as good as his word in satisfying the necessities of the hungry he has given us this Ordinance that is of his own appointment And now Sirs you must not think in the beginning of the work that our blessed Lord Jesus allows these holy things to be casten to Dogs and that he allows such Pearls to be casten before Swine it is every one that will get them this day that he will admit

to be partaker of the inheritance above many are called but few are chosen Now more particularly I serve an Inhibition this day against all Atheists that is here that owns another God besides the true God and against all Idolaters that turn the Worship of God into a superstitious form or takes another Saviour besides Christ or that worships God in away that he has never prescribed nor appointed I must serve inhibition against all Cursers and Swearers and such as take the name of God in vain in their months and all gross Oaths not only these that have horrid Curses and execrations or that will

persecuted and distressed Cause and work of God this day what ever it be be it Prelacy be it Snpremacy or be it arbitrary Government be it any thing that the People of God are suffering for this day for it 's sad since the business is come to such a length in Scotland that their is a stated quarrel between Christs and Antichrists backing and that this controversie has come to that length we have so many Heads standing on Poles on the account of it in Air and in other places of Scotland when there are so many in Prison upon this account and the Enemies have imbrued their hands so dreadfully in the Blood of the Saints of God you must now side your selves you must List your selves either on Christs Side or the Devils now any of you that have complyed with the Enemy to strengthen their hands either by taking the Declaration or the Oath of Supremacy or any the black bands that have gone up and down the Land any that has been troublers of the People of God and complyers with the Prelates

now upon the other hand least that some poor thing should be kept back least they should hold back and that their should be a scaring of such that the Bowels of Christ are yearning on this day therefore we have this to say be who yee will that is here that desired this day to bid adue to your Lusts and will Sin no more that is grieved in your hearts for the Evils ye have done to Christ and that is resolving to live to him and to be for him hereafter that is resolving to espouse his cause and to bide by him upon all hazards over all difficulties be what you will we invite you here to be sharers of this Feast of Fat things and Wine on the Leas well refined if thy Fingers were reeking with the Blood of the Saints if that now be thy exercise if thou resolve to be so no more come away if thou had been a Witch and had made an actual Portion with the Devil and would break the bargain now with the Devil and would make a new bargain with our King Christ come away if thou hath been guilty of Theft and Murder and never so many abominations if now thou be reforming and if this be thy exercise this day woes me I have so long dwelt in Sin and sojourned in the Tents of wickedness our Lords Bowels yearns on you this day and in the name of our Lord we invite you all to come forward come away poor thing what ever has been thy sad miscarriage before come away and thy Burden on thy Back to the Table of the Lord that before witnesses thou may give up thy name to the Son of God and here we are to take thee as a bond-servant and to welcome thee in his name now dear Friends lay ye the
