st._n austin_n discourse_v of_o the_o disposion_n of_o a_o worthy_a communicant_a reckon_v this_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n among_o they_o and_o make_v they_o as_o necessary_a qualification_n as_o any_o and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n for_o it_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v general_o set_v out_o in_o scripture_n by_o meat_n and_o drink_n it_o be_v call_v express_o by_o the_o

also_o be_v it_o prefigure_v by_o type_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n such_o as_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o paradise_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n of_o melchisedeck_v the_o manna_n the_o paschal_n lamb_n the_o shewbread_n the_o bread_n wherewith_o the_o angel_n feed_v the_o prophet_n and_o particular_o by_o the_o water_n spring_v out_o of_o the_o rock_n whereof_o the_o father_n drink_v in_o the_o wilderness_n now_o i_o consider_v that_o as_o these_o figure_n represent_v the_o nature_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n that_o it_o be_v the_o food_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o life_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o spiritual_a man_n so_o they_o do_v also_o represent_v to_o we_o our_o duty_n and_o the_o proper_a measure_n and_o argument_n of_o preparation_n for_o if_o meat_n and_o drink_n be_v the_o entertainment_n what_o more_o convenient_a preparation_n than_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n we_o ought_v indeed_o to_o come_v to_o these_o spring_n of_o salvation_n as_o the_o hart_n be_v represent_v to_o do_v by_o the_o psalmist_n to_o the_o water-brook_n pant_v and_o thirsty_a long_a and_o impatient_a or_o rather_o to_o use_v a_o near_a emblem_n as_o those_o thirsty_a israelite_n do_v to_o the_o water_n that_o issue_v out_o of_o that_o mystic_a rock_n in_o the_o wilderness_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o give_v a_o just_a description_n of_o this_o sacramental_a thirst_n but_o if_o we_o can_v but_o so_o far_o advance_v our_o fancy_n as_o to_o represent_v to_o ourselves_o with_o what_o eagerness_n and_o greediness_n those_o thirsty_a and_o scorch_a traveller_n in_o the_o wilderness_n do_v apply_v their_o mouth_n to_o the_o spring_a stone_n that_o be_v now_o more_o endear_v to_o they_o by_o the_o benefit_n than_o by_o the_o miracle_n then_o and_o then_o only_o may_v we_o have_v some_o notion_n of_o that_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n wherewith_o we_o be_v to_o approach_v and_o receive_v these_o divine_a mystery_n for_o if_o that_o rock_n and_o miraculous_a water_n be_v a_o type_n of_o our_o sacrament_n as_o the_o apostle_n assure_v we_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o express_o that_o that_o rock_n be_v christ_n then_o by_o the_o like_a 10.4_o proportion_n that_o thirst_n be_v also_o a_o symbol_n of_o our_o duty_n a_o signification_n of_o our_o sacramental_a thirst._n and_o as_o he_o that_o will_v come_v to_o this_o divine_a feast_n must_v come_v hungry_a and_o thirsty_a so_o he_o that_o be_v true_o hungry_a and_o thirsty_a as_o he_o ought_v will_v be_v sure_a to_o come_v and_o not_o as_o too_o many_o do_v study_v to_o find_v out_o pretence_n to_o excuse_v his_o absense_n but_o why_o do_v i_o say_v study_n to_o find_v excuse_n there_o be_v some_o man_n that_o will_v be_v hinder_v by_o any_o thing_n nay_o by_o every_o
