there_o be_v the_o great_a danger_n and_o sad_a doom_n for_o he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n that_o be_v

thus_o be_v that_o great_a precept_n of_o examination_n before_o sacrament-participation_n environ_v as_o it_o be_v on_o both_o hand_n that_o it_o may_v be_v more_o effectual_o guard_v against_o all_o

concern_v mis-hearing_a only_o as_o concern_v this_o misreceiving_a the_o reason_n whereof_o may_v be_v as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v because_o in_o unworthy_a partake_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n there_o be_v a_o cumulative_a abuse_n or_o a_o double_a sin_n that_o be_v not_o only_o the_o sacrament_n be_v abuse_v but_o that_o word_n of_o god_n also_o be_v contemn_v which_o make_v it_o a_o

what_o i_o say_v be_v only_o to_o put_v christian_n in_o mind_n that_o every_o distinct_a ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v to_o have_v its_o due_a and_o distinct_a respect_n and_o therefore_o that_o there_o be_v some_o other_o and_o further_o good_a frame_n of_o heart_n to_o be_v endeavour_v when_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o
be_v receive_v then_o when_o the_o word_n only_o be_v to_o be_v hear_v and_o that_o because_o that_o i_o may_v come_v to_o the_o matter_n i_o intend_v christ_n with_o all_o his_o benefit_n be_v

68_o so_o that_o we_o may_v be_v say_v in_o a_o sort_n to_o see_v he_o touch_v he_o and_o taste_v he_o and_o that_o therefore_o he_o expect_v from_o we_o a_o answerable_a preparation_n i_o do_v not_o

as_o long_o as_o woman_n be_v indeed_o a_o fault_n but_o not_o otherwise_o to_o that_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o man_n can_v wear_v because_o they_o can_v have_v ordinary_o hair_n so_o long_o as_o

and_o unnatural_a if_o it_o be_v say_v again_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o that_o which_o be_v against_o nature_n not_o absolute_o but_o according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o those_o time_n and_o place_n unto_o which_o he_o direct_v his_o speech_n when_o in_o other_o country_n it_o be_v otherwise_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v not_o against_o nature_n strict_o take_v to_o wear_v very_o long_a hair_n because_o some_o nation_n have_v let_v their_o hair_n grow_v extreme_o long_a for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o not_o only_a heathen_n
