virtue_n and_o goodness_n purify_v and_o exalt_v a_o man_n natural_a temper_n and_o make_v his_o very_a look_n more_o clear_a and_o brisk_a 3._o our_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v in_o power_n this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o school_n call_v the_o agility_n of_o our_o heavenly_a body_n the_o nimbleness_n of_o their_o motion_n by_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v render_v most_o obedient_a and_o able_a instrument_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o state_n our_o body_n be_v no_o better_o than_o clog_v and_o fetter_n which_o confine_v and_o restrain_v the_o freedom_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o hinder_v it_o be_v all_o her_o operation_n the_o corruptible_a body_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o solomon_n press_v down_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o earthly_a tabernacle_n weigh_v down_o the_o mind_n that_o muse_v upon_o many_o thing_n our_o dull_a sluggish_a and_o unactive_a body_n be_v often_o unable_a often_o unready_a and_o backward_o to_o execute_v the_o order_n and_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o our_o soul_n so_o that_o they_o be_v rather_o hindrance_n to_o the_o soul_n than_o any-way_n useful_a or_o serviceable_a to_o she_o but_o in_o the_o other_o life_n as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n tell_v we_o isaiah_n 40.31_o they_o that_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n shall_v renew_v their_o strength_n they_o shall_v mount_v up_o with_o wing_n as_o eagle_n they_o shall_v run_v and_o not_o be_v weary_a and_o they_o shall_v walk_v and_o not_o faint_a or_o as_o another_o express_v it_o they_o shall_v shine_v and_o run_v too_o and_o fro_o like_a spark_n among_o the_o stubble_n the_o speed_n of_o their_o motion_n shall_v be_v like_o that_o of_o devour_a fire_n in_o a_o heap_n of_o dry_a stubble_n and_o the_o height_n of_o it_o shall_v surpass_v the_o tower_a flight_n of_o the_o eagle_n for_o they_o shall_v meet_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o air_n when_o he_o come_v to_o judgement_n and_o afterward_o mount_v up_o with_o he_o into_o the_o three_o and_o high_a heaven_n this_o earthly_a body_n be_v continual_o grovel_v on_o the_o ground_n slow_a and_o heavy_a in_o all_o its_o motion_n listless_a and_o soon_o tire_v with_o action_n and_o the_o soul_n that_o dwell_v in_o it_o be_v force_v as_o it_o be_v to_o drag_v and_o hale_v it_o along_o but_o our_o heavenly_a body_n shall_v be_v as_o free_v as_o active_a and_o nimble_a as_o our_o very_a thought_n be_v 4._o and_o last_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v spiritual_a body_n not_o of_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n for_o then_o the_o word_n will_v imply_v a_o contradiction_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o same_o thing_n shall_v be_v both_o a_o spiritual_a and_o a_o bodily_a substance_n but_o spiritual_a be_v here_o oppose_v not_o to_o corporeal_a but_o to_o natural_a or_o animal_n and_o by_o it_o be_v express_v as_o it_o be_v ordinary_o interpret_v the_o subtlety_n and_o tenuity_n and_o purity_n of_o our_o heavenly_a body_n but_o i_o will_v rather_o explain_v it_o thus_o in_o this_o state_n our_o spirit_n be_v force_v to_o serve_v our_o body_n and_o to_o attend_v their_o leisure_n and_o do_v mighty_o depend_v upon_o they_o in_o most_o of_o their_o operation_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a in_o the_o other_o world_n our_o body_n shall_v whole_o serve_v our_o spirit_n and_o minister_v unto_o they_o and_o depend_v upon_o they_o so_o that_o by_o a_o natural_a body_n i_o understand_v a_o body_n fit_v for_o this_o low_a and_o sensible_a world_n for_o this_o earthly_a state_n by_o a_o spiritual_a body_n such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v suit_v and_o accommodate_v to_o a_o spiritual_a state_n to_o a_o

of_o this_o death_n who_o shall_v death_n shall_v that_o shall_v give_v we_o a_o full_a and_o final_a deliverance_n when_o once_o we_o have_v obtain_v the_o resurrection_n unto_o life_n we_o shall_v

we_o can_v but_o very_o imperfect_o either_o conceive_v or_o express_v but_o yet_o from_o what_o have_v be_v discourse_v on_o this_o subject_n it_o do_v sufficient_o appear_v that_o a_o glorify_a

and_o last_o to_o draw_v some_o practical_a inference_n from_o all_o i_o have_v say_v on_o this_o subject_n i_o shall_v but_o just_a mention_n these_o five_o and_o leave_v the_o improvement_n of_o

and_o spiritual_a body_n which_o shall_v be_v bestow_v upon_o we_o at_o the_o resurrection_n which_o be_v by_o cleanse_v and_o purify_n our_o soul_n still_o more_o and_o more_o from_o all_o fleshly_a

the_o knot_n between_o our_o soul_n and_o this_o mortal_a flesh_n to_o refine_v our_o affection_n and_o raise_v they_o from_o thing_n below_o to_o thing_n above_o to_o take_v off_o our_o heart_n and_o leisurely_o to_o disengage_v they_o from_o thing_n present_a and_o sensible_a and_o to_o use_v and_o accustom_v ourselves_o to_o think_v of_o and_o converse_v with_o thing_n spiritual_a and_o

have_v forbid_v we_o how_o strange_a be_v this_o for_o man_n out_o of_o a_o dread_n of_o damnation_n to_o neglect_v their_o duty_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n not_o to_o be_v afraid_a to_o

your_o saviour_n if_o unworthy_o you_o eat_v his_o body_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n and_o therefore_o dare_v not_o communicate_v for_o your_o daily_a practice_n confute_v this_o pretence_n whilst_o

reason_n of_o your_o abstain_v from_o this_o sacrament_n you_o be_v rather_o afraid_a the_o sacrament_n will_v engage_v you_o to_o leave_v those_o sin_n you_o have_v no_o mind_n as_o yet_o to_o part_v with_o that_o it_o will_v put_v you_o upon_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o duty_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o your_o profit_n pleasure_n or_o secular_a interest_n you_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o

have_v no_o leisure_n to_o consider_v of_o you_o will_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o such_o a_o serious_a business_n you_o suspect_v you_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o sin_n so_o secure_o and_o

the_o world_n too_o much_o that_o they_o prize_v they_o above_o the_o benefit_n purchase_v by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o resolve_v to_o go_v on_o in_o their_o wickedness_n for_o some_o long_a time_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o do_v not_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n they_o be_v loath_a to_o engage_v themselves_o so_o solemn_o to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o find_v in_o themselves_o no_o heart_n or_o will_n to_o perform_v this_o indeed_o be_v the_o secret_a thought_n of_o many_o man_n though_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o very_a foolish_a one_o for_o they_o be_v very_o much_o mistake_v who_o think_v themselves_o at_o great_a liberty_n to_o do_v evil_a whilst_o they_o abstain_v from_o this_o sacrament_n for_o christian_n be_v engage_v by_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n to_o no_o

our_o profession_n of_o christianity_n have_v already_o lay_v upon_o we_o 5._o and_o last_o if_o the_o receive_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o indifferent_a rite_n or_o ceremony_n that_o may_v be_v do_v or_o omit_v at_o pleasure_n than_o indeed_o the_o great_a danger_n there_o be_v in_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o may_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n justify_v our_o omission_n of_o it_o but_o what_o if_o the_o danger_n be_v as_o great_a and_o the_o hazard_n equal_a of_o not_o receive_v it_o at_o all_o as_o of_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o where_o then_o be_v our_o prudence_n or_o safety_n when_o to_o avoid_v one_o danger_n we_o run_v into_o another_o every_o whit_n as_o great_a when_o for_o fear_v of_o displease_v god_n we_o disobey_v a_o plain_a command_n and_o for_o fear_n of_o damnation_n commit_v a_o damnable_a sin_n for_o i_o can_v call_v it_o no_o less_o to_o live_v in_o the_o neglect_n and_o contempt_n of_o this_o holy_a institution_n it_o be_v not_o very_o easy_a to_o determine_v which_o be_v the_o great_a affront_n to_o god_n or_o do_v most_o high_o provoke_v he_o never_o to_o perform_v our_o duty_n or_o to_o perform_v it_o after_o a_o wrong_a manner_n never_o to_o pray_v at_o all_o or_o to_o be_v present_a at_o prayer_n but_o not_o to_o mind_n or_o regard_v what_o we_o be_v about_o never_o to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n or_o to_o receive_v it_o often_o but_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o what_o we_o and_o drink_v there_o and_o what_o eat_v we_o do_v at_o our_o own_o house_n but_o however_o he_o that_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n although_o it_o be_v after_o a_o undue_a manner_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o show_v somewhat_o more_o respect_n to_o god_n and_o his_o command_n than_o he_o who_o whole_o neglect_v it_o and_o beside_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o wicked_a man_n that_o dare_v come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n without_o some_o good_a thought_n and_o resolution_n or_o who_o be_v not_o for_o a_o little_a time_n before_o and_o after_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o more_o careful_a of_o himself_o and_o his_o action_n and_o though_o this_o do_v not_o last_v long_o but_o he_o soon_o return_v to_o his_o former_a wickedness_n yet_o however_o this_o be_v something_o better_a than_o continue_v in_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n without_o any_o intermission_n or_o cessation_n moreover_o such_o a_o one_o use_v the_o best_a mean_n of_o become_v better_a which_o by_o god_n grace_n at_o some_o time_n may_v prove_v effectual_a whereas_o he_o that_o cast_v off_o all_o these_o duty_n be_v in_o a_o more_o desperate_a and_o irreclaimable_a state_n in_o short_a be_v there_o neither_o sin_n nor_o danger_n in_o omit_v this_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o so_o great_a hazard_n in_o the_o receive_n it_o unworthy_o prudence_n and_o interest_n may_v engage_v we_o to_o choose_v the_o safe_a side_n and_o not_o to_o meddle_v with_o it_o at_o all_o but_o if_o we_o expose_v ourselves_o as_o certain_o to_o god_n anger_n and_o displeasure_n by_o whole_o neglect_v this_o duty_n as_o by_o perform_v it_o undue_o than_o these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n can_v be_v no_o pretence_n or_o excuse_n for_o our_o abstain_v from_o this_o communion_n for_o will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o odd_a way_n of_o argue_v because_o intemperate_a eat_n and_o drink_v be_v very_o prejudicial_a to_o our_o health_n and_o often_o breed_v mortal_a disease_n therefore_o it_o be_v better_a never_o to_o eat_v or_o drink_v at_o all_o will_v it_o not_o be_v madness_n lest_o we_o shall_v kill_v ourselves_o by_o a_o surfeit_n to_o resolve_v to_o starve_v ourselves_o by_o

be_v this_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v plain_o command_v all_o his_o follower_n and_o disciple_n to_o do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o and_o yet_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v so_o great_a danger_n in_o do_v it_o unworthy_o that_o we_o shall_v neither_o omit_v the_o duty_n for_o that_o will_v be_v a_o plain_a transgression_n of_o our_o saviour_n command_n nor_o yet_o be_v careless_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o inference_n which_o the_o apostle_n himself_o make_v not_o that_o the_o corinthian_n who_o he_o blame_v so_o much_o for_o their_o unworthy_a receive_v this_o sacrament_n shall_v therefore_o forbear_v come_v to_o it_o any_o more_o at_o all_o but_o for_o the_o future_a they_o shall_v examine_v themselves_o and_o

this_o aught_o only_a to_o make_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o receive_v it_o after_o a_o right_n and_o acceptable_a manner_n and_o to_o put_v we_o upon_o great_a watchfulness_n over_o
