lord_n supper_n they_o be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v work_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a doctrine_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n draw_v out_o

of_o the_o 3._o of_o the_o act_n where_o the_o christian_n be_v say_v to_o have_v meet_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n that_o be_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o

second_o because_o christ_n in_o express_a term_n command_n how_o often_o soever_o you_o shall_v do_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o where_o the_o word_n how_o often_o soever_o enforce_v a_o often_o

that_o we_o often_o strengthen_v it_o so_o much_o we_o owe_v unto_o our_o conscience_n bern._n that_o we_o may_v often_o hereby_o cherish_v quicken_v and_o cheer_v they_o up_o for_o by_o this_o good_a

thus_o much_o we_o owe_v likewise_o to_o the_o ch._n that_o we_o may_v hereby_o make_v open_a profession_n and_o give_v a_o public_a testimony_n that_o we_o be_v fellow_n &_o member_n of_o it_o last_o thus_o much_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o perform_v for_o the_o avoid_v of_o corporal_a punishment_n for_o 1_o cor._n 11.30_o it_o be_v say_v for_o this_o cause_n many_o be_v weak_a &_o sick_a among_o you_o

the_o l._n supper_n now_o if_o god_n do_v lay_v his_o punish_a hand_n on_o they_o by_o disease_n &_o death_n for_o the_o wrong_a use_n how_o much_o more_o will_v he_o punish_v for_o the_o rare_a use_n
