will_n 58.13_o isai_n 58.13_o nor_o speak_v a_o vain_a word_n he_o must_v careful_o serve_v god_n with_o a_o pure_a conscience_n earnest_o love_v his_o holy_a word_n and_o hunger_n after_o it_o as_o his_o daily_a food_n he_o that_o have_v be_v a_o adulterer_n or_o fornicator_n must_v flee_v and_o forsake_v this_o filthy_a sin_n 4.4_o 1._o thess_n 4.4_o &_o keep_v the_o vessel_n of_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o holiness_n and_o honour_n not_o in_o the_o lust_n of_o concupiscence_n as_o do_v the_o gentile_n that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o if_o any_o come_v to_o this_o holy_a table_n like_o a_o filthy_a dog_n before_o he_o have_v bewail_v unfeigned_o this_o his_o wickedness_n and_o if_o it_o be_v open_a before_o he_o have_v public_o show_v true_a token_n of_o his_o true_a repentance_n

offend_v do_v come_v and_o be_v receive_v to_o the_o communicate_v of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n last_o we_o ought_v to_o examine_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o live_v in_o christian_a love_n and_o

aught_o against_o thou_o leave_v there_o thy_o offering_n before_o the_o altar_n and_o go_v thy_o way_n first_o be_v reconcile_v to_o thy_o brother_n and_o then_o come_v and_o offer_v thy_o gift_n our_o saviour_n christ_n here_o speak_v of_o the_o altar_n and_o oblation_n that_o be_v in_o the_o old_a law_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o acceptable_a to_o god_n unless_o w●_n

together_o in_o a_o holy_a profession_n of_o one_o truth_n and_o in_o brotherly_a sincere_a love_n one_o to_o another_o which_o must_v bring_v forth_o her_o fruit_n in_o humble_v ourselves_o one_o to_o another_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o help_v comfort_v and_o reléeve_v one_o another_o etc._n etc._n but_o lamentable_a it_o be_v to_o see_v how_o cold_a christian_a charity_n be_v waxen_a and_o how_o rare_a it_o be_v among_o man_n all_o man_n seek_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o private_a profit_n and_o not_o the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o their_o brethren_n we_o despise_v and_o disdain_v one_o another_o we_o seek_v to_o exalt_v and_o advance_v ourselves_o one_o above_o a_o other_o by_o usury_n bribery_n extorsion_n and_o oppression_n we_o pinch_v bite_v yea_o and_o devour_v one_o a_o other_o if_o these_o be_v our_o fruit_n if_o thus_o we_o lead_v our_o life_n and_o yet_o come_v to_o communicate_v on_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n we_o provoke_v god_n fearful_a vengeance_n against_o we_o fearful_o for_o to_o plague_v us._n so_o paul_n show_v that_o for_o the_o abuse_n of_o this_o sacrament_n at_o corinth_n 11.30_o 1._o cor._n 11.30_o god_n have_v so_o strike_v they_o that_o many_o be_v dead_a and_o many_o weak_a and_o sick_a among_o they_o and_o when_o i_o consider_v how_o horrible_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v abuse_v among_o we_o how_o this_o pearl_n be_v
