spiritually demaunded howe it were possible to giue his flesh to be eaten and his blood to be drunken But being instructed by faith although the mysterie farre passe the reache of any mans vnderstanding yet doe we nothing doubt but according to his holy word and promise after a heauenly and spiritual maner he giueth to al them that are worthily partakers of that holy Sacrament his very body and blood to be spirituall meate and drinke whereby they are fed nourished vnto that life which is immortall and incorruptible Which faith of ours receiueth strength and increase by worthie participation of this holy mysterie for which ende and purpose it was instituted and ordeined to our comfort In consideration whereof and of all euery the respects before mentioned a Christian man is compelled to fall down before the throne of Gods grace and from the bottome of his heart to yeelde most humble and vnfeigned thanks to God the Father with the sonne our Lord Iesus Christ the holy Ghost by whose infinit mercy and goodnesse without al merite and desert of himselfe hee is called to so high honor and dignitie that he is admitted to be a ghest at the Lords Table in which hee is made partaker of the flesh and blood of the sonne of GOD who so loued the worlde that hee gaue his only begotten sonne to suffer most cruell shamefull death for the redemption of mankinde to satisfie the wrath of God to reconcile vs againe into his fauour of his enimies to make vs his children and of his children to make vs ioynt heyres with his onely begotten sonne Iesus Christ our Sauiour Last of all a Christian man thus assured that hee is made partaker of the body blood of Christ his head of whom hee is nowe made a liuing member must acknowledge purpose with himself that it is his bound duetie not onely to be more circumspect watchful of himselfe that he bee not forgetfull for so high and incomparable a benefite nor vnthankfull to so mercifull a Lord that hath thus loued saued him But also to shewe all loue tender affection towardes all them which by the same meanes are made fellow meÌ„bers with him of the same mysticall body and as occasion and abilitie shall serue like a liuing member to feele ioye and comfort at the prosperitie of his fellowe members and to be so grieued at the hurt or affliction of any of them that he be redie to relicue comfort them to ayde and assist them as we see by the example of the members and partes of our naturall bodye Hee therefore that examineth him selfe after these rules shall be rightly prepared to receiue the Sacrament worthily to his euerlasting comfort Â¶ Howe dangerous a thing it is to come vnwor thily or vnaduisedly to the holy Communion VNworthily they come to the holy CoÌ„munion not whosoeuer are vnworthy of that high honour which GOD vouchsafeth them whom hee calleth to his holy Table for then should all men euen the most righteous come vnworthily For no man is worthy to stand in the Lordes presence much lesse to sitte as a bidden gheste at the mariage of his Sonne or rather as a childe at the high Table of Almightie God the Father but that hee of his infinite mercie whereby hee accepteth them to bee his children vouchsafeth also to giue them this heauenly nourishment But all they come vnworthily not onely which come like hypocrites with fained hearts and contemptuous mindes against the Lord whoÌ„ they pretende to worship but also euen as many as presume rashly negligently and vnaduisedly to receiue the holy Sacrament without due examination of themselues and consideration of the excellent benefite whereof they come to be partakers Of them S. Paul writeth that they eate and drinke not the body of Christ whom they despise in his holy mysteries but their own damnation because they discerne not the Lordes body from other bodily meates drinkes For seeing our Sauiour Christ hath adorned these holy mysteries with the name of his most precious body blood whosoeuer conteÌ„neth or lightly regardeth the fame must needes deserue such punishment and condemnation as they which abuse not only the name of GOD of whom hee protesteth that he wil not hold theÌ„ guiltles but also the seale of God whereby hee offereth theÌ„ assurance of their redemption and euen the very bodie and blood of Christ whereof this Sacrament is a true and liuely representation Wherefore the Apostle sayth Whosoeuer eateth this Bread and drinketh of this Cuppe of the Lord vnworthily shall not be guiltie of abusing of bread and wine and other such like creatures the abusing whereof is neuerthelesse vnanswerable before GOD but he shal be guiltie of the body and blood of Christ Which sinne howe horrible and gricuous it is in the sight of God to be guiltie of the body blood of Christ we may easely perceiue if we call to remembrance the example of those who moste cruelly and despitefully betraied condemned scourged and crucified his most holy and innocent bodie when hee liued vpon the earth The guiltinesse of whose treason false witnessing vniust condeÌ„ning cruel scourging and crowning with thornes most dispitefull crucifiyng and shedding of his most precious blood beside spitting scorning and reuiling the guiltinesse I say of all which iniuries and villenies they do most iustly heape vpon themselues which vnworthily vnaduisedly rashly or negligently presume to come to the Lords Table and so become guiltie of the body blood of our Sauiour Christ whereby they procure vnto themselues if GOD should deale with theÌ„ in iustice such punishment as was deserued by Iudas Iscarioth the false suborned witnesses Annas and Caiaphas with the rest of the high Priestes and Pharises Pilate with his souldiers and the people that cryed out vpon him Crucifie him Crucifie him And more worthily deserue they such punishment then many of these before named for of them the holy Ghost testifieth that they did it ignorantly for if they had knowen him they would not haue crucified the Lord of glory But these men contemne and despise him whom they knowe and confesse to be the Lord of glory and the eternal Sonne of God the other despised him in the estate of his humilitie when his Godhead was couered with the shape of a seruant but these men set light by him and contemne him nowe hee sitteth in his throne of magnificence and maiestie Therfore much greater is their guiltinesse more grieuous is their condemnation if the Lorde shoulde deale with them according to their desertes But although hee be ready to pardon and forgiue such as haue so despised him vpon their heartie and earnest repentance euen as hee was ready to pardon them which crucified him yet doth he not suffer his children to bee altogether without chastisement but that they may more deeply consider howe grieuously they haue trespassed against him hee punisheth them oftentimes with sharpe sicknes and

to anger and of great kindenesse 9 Hee will not alway chide neither keepe his anger for euer 10 Hee hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities 11 For as high as the Heauen is aboue the earth so great is his mercie towarde them that feare him 12 As farre as the East is from the West so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs. 13 As a father hath compassion on his children so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him 14 For he knoweth whereof wee be made hee remembreth that wee are but dust 15 The dayes of man are as grasse as a flower of the field so florisheth hee 16 For the winde goeth ouer it and it is gone and the place thereof shall knowe it no more 17 But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him and his righteousnesse vpon childrens children 18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant and thinke vpon his commaundements to doe them 19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen and his kingdome ruleth ouer all 20 Praise the Lorde ye his Angels that excell in strength that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde 21 Praise the Lorde all ye his hostes ye his seruants that doe his pleasure 22 Praise the Lorde all ye his workes in all places of his dominion my soule prayse thou the Lord.
