you_o see_v the_o bread_n i_o will_v have_v you_o meditate_v of_o the_o analogy_n and_o proportion_n between_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n you_o know_v that_o bread_n be_v the_o staff_n of_o life_n so_o be_v christ_n the_o staff_n of_o a_o christian_a bread_n be_v not_o for_o dead_a folk_n but_o for_o live_a folk_n bread_n do_v not_o beget_v life_n but_o increase_v and_o strengthen_v

have_v you_o consider_v the_o analogy_n between_o wine_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o wine_n refresh_v the_o spirit_n and_o cheer_v the_o heart_n so_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cheer_v the_o soul_n of_o every_o worthy_a receiver_n 10._o i_o will_v have_v you_o meditate_v of_o the_o sacramental_a action_n for_o all_o the_o action_n of_o the_o minister_n at_o the_o sacrament_n be_v

represent_v christ_n body_n be_v break_v upon_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o pour_v out_o the_o wine_n represent_v how_o christ_n blood_n be_v pour_v out_o for_o we_o and_o the_o give_v of_o the_o wine_n represent_v how_o christ_n be_v offer_v and_o tender_v unto_o we_o the_o take_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n represent_v how_o thou_o by_o faith_n take_v christ_n for_o thy_o everlasting_a comfort_n every_o thing_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o object_n of_o meditation_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n for_o a_o christian_n to_o make_v the_o sacramental_a element_n to_o be_v his_o bible_n when_o he_o be_v at_o the_o sacrament_n and_o when_o he_o find_v his_o heart_n dull_a to_o look_v at_o the_o element_n the_o break_n of_o bread_n and_o pour_v out_o of_o wine_n

must_v feed_v upon_o this_o promise_n and_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o promise_n and_o he_o have_v promise_v that_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n shall_v be_v the_o

these_o promise_n and_o act_v faith_n upon_o they_o 12._o when_o all_o this_o be_v do_v i_o mean_v when_o thou_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n than_o thou_o must_v meditate_v what_o retribution_n to_o make_v unto_o christ_n for_o this_o you_o must_v say_v as_o david_n do_v psal._n 116._o 7._o what_o shall_v i_o render_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o all_o his_o benefit_n towards_o i_o thou_o must_v say_v to_o thy_o soul_n oh_o how_o ought_v i_o to_o love_v that_o christ_n that_o have_v love_v i_o and_o become_v a_o curse_n for_o i_o how_o ought_v i_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v for_o that_o christ_n that_o have_v shed_v his_o blood_n for_o i_o oh_o what_o singular_a thing_n shall_v i_o do_v for_o that_o christ_n that_o have_v become_v man_n that_o have_v leave_v the_o throne_n of_o heaven_n and_o have_v take_v my_o nature_n and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o i_o upon_o the_o cross_n unto_o i_o at_o the_o sacrament_n what_o great_a thing_n shall_v i_o return_v unto_o this_o god_n oh_o that_o i_o be_v make_v up_o all_o of_o thankfulness_n oh_o that_o i_o can_v do_v something_o worthy_a of_o this_o god_n this_o must_v be_v your_o meditation_n and_o you_o must_v study_v to_o find_v out_o some_o rare_a piece_n of_o service_n to_o do_v for_o this_o christ_n that_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o for_o you_o and_o you_o must_v never_o leave_v meditate_v till_o you_o have_v find_v out_o some_o singular_a thing_n as_o for_o example_n such_o a_o enemy_n have_v do_v i_o wrong_n i_o will_v requite_v he_o in_o love_v he_o the_o more_o i_o will_v do_v he_o the_o

god_n for_o i_o again_o christ_n jesus_n this_o day_n have_v give_v i_o himself_o he_o have_v give_v i_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n i_o will_v go_v and_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v for_o he_o i_o will_v say_v with_o thomas_n come_v let_v we_o die_v for_o he_o i_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v reproach_n for_o he_o if_o he_o shall_v call_v i_o these_o be_v the_o meditation_n wherein_o you_o be_v to_o spend_v your_o time_n when_o you_o be_v at_o the_o sacrament_n now_o let_v i_o say_v but_o thus_o much_o what_o rare_a christian_n will_v we_o be_v if_o from_o month_n to_o month_n we_o do_v thus_o spend_v our_o sacramental_a hour_n sure_o great_a will_v be_v the_o benefit_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o time_n when_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v 3._o i_o be_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o property_n and_o quality_n of_o divine_a meditation_n in_o all_o holy_a duty_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o

more_o good_a by_o our_o affliction_n i_o have_v observe_v many_o of_o we_o the_o lord_n pardon_v it_o unto_o we_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o we_o be_v recover_v from_o our_o affliction_n we_o forget_v

why_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n take_v no_o more_o impression_n upon_o our_o heart_n be_v for_o want_v of_o this_o grace_n of_o meditation_n the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v very_o mysterious_a and_o god_n in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n do_v walk_v in_o the_o cloud_n and_o true_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o which_o god_n do_v especial_o require_v of_o his_o child_n in_o these_o day_n be_v to_o meditate_v upon_o his_o providence_n as_o well_o as_o upon_o his_o ordinance_n there_o be_v many_o rare_a lesson_n to_o be_v learn_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n the_o providence_n of_o god_n towards_o england_n and_o towards_o scotland_n and_o towards_o the_o ministry_n god_n be_v now_o deprive_v you_o of_o minister_n upon_o minister_n many_o minister_n the_o lord_n have_v take_v from_o you_o god_n be_v as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v disburthen_v the_o nation_n of_o this_o great_a burden_n of_o the_o ministry_n which_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o a_o great_a many_o god_n take_v his_o minister_n up_o to_o heaven_n now_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n of_o late_a year_n do_v no_o more_o good_a though_o they_o have_v be_v wonderful_a towards_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n towards_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n the_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v never_o the_o better_a by_o they_o be_v because_o we_o do_v not_o study_v the_o meaning_n of_o all_o these_o providence_n isa._n 57_o 1._o the_o righteous_a perish_v and_o no_o man_n lay_v it_o to_o heart_n and_o merciful_a man_n be_v take_v away_o none_o consider_v that_o the_o righteous_a be_v take_v away_o from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o get_v no_o more_o good_a by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n because_o we_o do_v not_o lay_v they_o to_o heart_n we_o do_v not_o muse_v and_o study_v upon_o they_o 8._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v so_o distrustful_a of_o god_n providence_n when_o they_o be_v ready_a present_o to_o sink_v and_o to_o say_v they_o be_v undo_v it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o meditation_n and_o therefore_o christ_n luk._n 12._o say_v take_v no_o thought_n what_o you_o shall_v eat_v or_o what_o you_o shall_v put_v on_o consider_v the_o raven_n for_o they_o neither_o sow_n nor_o reap_v which_o neither_o have_v store-house_n nor_o barn_n and_o god_n feed_v they_o how_o much_o more_o be_v you_o better_o than_o the_o fowl_n consider_v the_o lily_n how_o they_o grow_v they_o toil_v not_o they_o

study_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o you_o you_o will_v not_o distrust_v he_o under_o any_o sad_a providence_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v so_o full_a of_o unbelief_n when_o they_o be_v in_o a_o low_a condition_n be_v for_o want_v of_o meditation_n they_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o raven_n and_o the_o lily_n they_o do_v not_o study_v the_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v to_o his_o child_n in_o their_o low_a condition_n 9_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o professor_n of_o religion_n be_v so_o censorious_a of_o other_o man_n and_o so_o little_a censorious_a of_o themselves_o why_o they_o judge_v every_o man_n and_o examine_v every_o man_n but_o themselves_o which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o these_o day_n it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o meditation_n mat._n 7._o

themselves_o they_o will_v censure_v themselves_o more_o and_o other_o less_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o people_n be_v so_o rash_a in_o censure_v be_v for_o want_v of_o self-reflection_n 10._o the_o reason_n why_o professor_n of_o religion_n do_v offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n to_o god_n when_o they_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o why_o they_o pray_v heady_o and_o rash_o why_o they_o rush_v

to_o utter_v any_o thing_n before_o god_n why_o do_v people_n rush_v upon_o sacrament_n without_o preparation_n rush_v upon_o sermon_n rush_v upon_o prayer_n rush_v upon_o holy_a duty_n why_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v what_o they_o do_v 11._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o people_n prepare_v no_o more_o for_o death_n because_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o shortness_n of_o life_n they_o do_v not_o meditate_v of_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o life_n of_o the_o certainty_n and_o uncertainty_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v deut._n 32._o 29._o oh_o that_o they_o be_v wise_a that_o they_o understand_v this_o that_o they_o will_v consider_v their_o latter_a end_n because_o man_n do_v not_o consider_v their_o latter_a end_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o
