and_o with_o a_o holy_a cheerfulness_n with_o a_o holy_a freedom_n of_o spirit_n not_o in_o a_o sullen_a way_n but_o as_o a_o child_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o father_n and_o not_o as_o a_o

to_o have_v your_o heart_n sink_v no_o there_o must_v be_v no_o sink_a sorrow_n of_o heart_n but_o such_o a_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n as_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o it_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o

to_o be_v merry_a at_o his_o table_n now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o sight_n of_o christ_n crucify_v and_o yet_o

shall_v jesus_n christ_n give_v thanks_o unto_o god_n the_o father_n for_o that_o that_o do_v cost_v he_o his_o life_n yea_o say_v christ_n i_o see_v that_o here_o be_v a_o way_n to_o save_v soul_n and_o let_v it_o cost_v i_o my_o life_n if_o it_o will_v yet_o i_o bless_v thou_o o_o father_n if_o soul_n may_v come_v to_o be_v save_v though_o it_o cost_v i_o my_o life_n christ_n rejoice_v in_o

when_o we_o come_v to_o have_v this_o bread_n this_o bread_n of_o life_n here_o be_v matter_n of_o thankfulness_n here_o be_v matter_n of_o enlargement_n of_o soul_n thou_o that_o have_v the_o dead_a

thou_o will_v think_v that_o thou_o be_v bind_v to_o bless_v he_o then_o only_o when_o god_n in_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n reach_v out_o to_o thou_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n here_o be_v more_o matter_n of_o praise_n then_o if_o ten_o thousand_o thousand_o world_n be_v give_v to_o thou_o and_o therefore_o god_n expect_v that_o thou_o shall_v say_v to_o thy_o soul_n my_o soul_n

be_v a_o glorious_a application_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o if_o ever_o thou_o be_v thankful_a be_v thankful_a here_o the_o sabbath_n my_o

believe_v on_o his_o son_n and_o repent_v which_o be_v the_o tenor_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o every_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n thou_o come_v to_o renew_v this_o

child_n of_o israel_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o people_n near_o to_o god_n why_o near_o he_o because_o that_o they_o worship_n god_n they_o be_v much_o exercise_v in_o the_o

therefore_o they_o be_v near_o god_n quest_n near_o he_o why_o in_o what_o respect_n may_v a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n when_o he_o worship_n he_o answ_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v three_o respect_n in_o which_o a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n 1_o first_o because_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n and_o service_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v due_a from_o we_o as_o creature_n to_o the_o infinite_a creator_n that_o be_v the_o very_a end_n of_o worship_n if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n it_o be_v this_o you_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n and_o respect_n that_o be_v due_a from_o the_o creature_n to_o the_o creator_n god_n now_o when_o a_o subject_a come_v to_o tender_v up_o his_o homage_n to_o his_o prince_n he_o come_v towards_o he_o when_o he_o do_v it_o immediate_o so_o we_o have_v none_o to_o tender_v it_o up_o by_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o when_o we_o tender_v it_o up_o we_o must_v come_v ourselves_o too_o for_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v our_o service_n and_o tender_v it_o up_o to_o god_n and_o we_o be_v absent_a but_o we_o must_v come_v with_o christ_n and_o christ_n take_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o so_o tender_v it_o up_o to_o the_o father_n while_o we_o be_v in_o presence_n so_o that_o we_o be_v say_v to_o come_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o that_o respect_n because_o of_o the_o immediate_a tender_v up_o of_o that_o worship_n of_o we_o to_o god_n i_o call_v it_o immediate_a in_o respect_n of_o any_o creature_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n indeed_o he_o be_v a_o mediator_n to_o do_v it_o but_o yet_o he_o do_v it_o in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n and_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o none_o but_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o tender_v up_o of_o our_o worship_n to_o he_o we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o a_o institution_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v but_o we_o do_v not_o tender_v up_o our_o worship_n to_o god_n through_o that_o creature_n but_o in_o the_o use_n of_o that_o creature_n we_o do_v come_v to_o god_n and_o our_o soul_n be_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o respect_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n immediate_o therefore_o in_o levit._n 21._o 21._o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o priest_n in_o their_o sacrifice_n when_o they_o be_v to_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n no_o man_n that_o have_v a_o blemish_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o aaron_n the_o priest_n shall_v come_v nigh_o to_o offer_v the_o offering_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v by_o fire_n so_o that_o when_o any_o come_v to_o offer_v any_o offering_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v by_o fire_n it_o appear_v he_o come_v nigh_o to_o god_n he_o come_v to_o bring_v a_o present_a to_o god_n therefore_o he_o come_v nigh_o so_o when_o we_o come_v to_o offer_v our_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n we_o come_v nigh_o to_o god_n to_o offer_v it_o be_v the_o offering_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n because_o the_o creature_n come_v to_o bring_v a_o present_a to_o god_n therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o and_o second_o duty_n the_o soul_n be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n because_o it_o do_v present_v its_o self_n before_o god_n in_o those_o way_n through_o which_o god_n do_v use_v to_o communicate_v his_o choice_n precious_a most_o excellent_a and_o glorious_a mercy_n to_o his_o people_n i_o say_v when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o set_v ourselves_o before_o god_n in_o those_o way_n that_o god_n do_v 〈◊〉_d to_o communicate_v the_o choice_n most_o excellent_a and_o glorious_a rich_a mercy_n that_o he_o have_v to_o communicate_v to_o his_o creature_n when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o creature_n as_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o our_o outward_a business_n we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n in_o they_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o present_v ourselves_o before_o he_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v use_v to_o let_v out_o himself_o though_o in_o a_o more_o special_a and_o glorious_a manner_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o heaven_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o why_o those_o that_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v say_v to_o live_v with_o god_n there_o they_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n and_o be_v before_o he_o in_o a_o special_a manner_n therefore_o when_o christ_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v he_o teach_v we_o to_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o to_o say_v our_o father_n which_o ●rt_n in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n now_o certain_o the_o essential_a presence_n of_o god_n be_v on_o earth_n as_o true_o and_o real_o as_o in_o heaven_n and_o god_n be_v not_o so_o as_o to_o have_v one_o part_n in_o one_o place_n and_o another_o in_o another_o but_o all_o god_n be_v in_o every_o place_n but_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v because_o the_o lord_n make_v know_v himself_o there_o in_o a_o more_o glorious_a manner_n then_o in_o any_o other_o place_n and_o therefore_o heaven_n be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o a_o more_o special_a way_n now_o than_o if_o the_o communication_n of_o god_n unto_o a_o creature_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n more_o special_a if_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o creature_n to_o live_v with_o god_n and_o to_o be_v before_o his_o face_n because_o they_o be_v there_o where_o god_n do_v most_o communicate_v himself_o then_o certain_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o be_v near_o god_n and_o be_v with_o god_n because_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n be_v those_o mean_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o let_v out_o of_o himself_o in_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n to_o his_o people_n you_o may_v expect_v other_o manner_n of_o communication_n of_o god_n goodness_n through_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n then_o in_o any_o other_o way_n and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o respect_n wherein_o you_o may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n three_o you_o may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n
