nature_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v a_o meditation_n that_o have_v abundance_n that_o may_v spring_v out_o of_o it_o what_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o have_v he_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o human_a nature_n upon_o he_o oh_o how_o have_v god_n honour_v humane_a nature_n then_o let_v not_o i_o abuse_v my_o body_n to_o lust_n to_o wickedness_n see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v take_v the_o body_n of_o man_n upon_o he_o humane_a nature_n upon_o he_o let_v i_o honour_v humane_a nature_n that_o be_v so_o near_o unite_v to_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o be_v the_o second_o meditation_n med._n 3._o here_o be_v present_v unto_o we_o what_o this_o mediator_n have_v do_v for_o the_o reconcile_n of_o we_o unto_o god_n that_o his_o body_n be_v break_v he_o have_v subject_v himself_o to_o the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n and_o to_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o his_o blood_n for_o the_o reconcile_n of_o we_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o as_o before_o that_o god_n say_v i_o will_v pardon_v they_o but_o christ_n undertake_v to_o make_v peace_n between_o his_o father_n and_o we_o it_o cost_v he_o the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o his_o blood_n this_o be_v a_o useful_a meditation_n oh_o what_o shall_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o jesus_n christ_n in_o our_o body_n even_o to_o resist_v unto_o blood_n see_v christ_n have_v be_v content_a to_o have_v his_o precious_a body_n break_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o we_o med._n 4._o again_o a_o four_o meditation_n be_v this_o that_o here_o we_o come_v to_o see_v we_o have_v occasion_n of_o meditate_v of_o what_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o we_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n save_v it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n they_o crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o scripture_n phrase_n we_o shall_v consider_v when_o we_o see_v the_o wine_n pour_v out_o and_o so_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o blood_n who_o blood_n and_o who_o body_n be_v this_o it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o be_v true_o god_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n this_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v very_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o be_v think_v of_o when_o we_o see_v the_o body_n break_v and_o the_o blood_n pour_v out_o what_o will_v the_o break_n of_o the_o body_n and_o shed_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o mere_a creature_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v peace_n between_o god_n and_o man_n sure_o no_o therefore_o you_o must_v meditate_v who_o body_n this_o be_v and_o who_o blood_n this_o be_v it_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o be_v god_n it_o be_v true_a god_n have_v no_o body_n nor_o no_o blood_n but_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v god_n have_v a_o body_n and_o blood_n that_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v unite_v unto_o the_o divine_a nature_n in_o a_o hypostatical_a union_n and_o from_o thence_o it_o come_v to_o have_v a_o efficacy_n for_o to_o satisfy_v god_n for_o to_o reconcile_v god_n and_o we_o together_o this_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n med._n 5._o another_o meditation_n be_v this_o when_o you_o see_v the_o bread_n break_v and_o wing_n pour_v out_o oh_o the_o infinite_a dreadfulness_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n how_o dreadful_a be_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o come_v upon_o his_o own_o son_n and_o require_v satisfaction_n from_o he_o that_o shall_v thus_o break_v he_o and_o bruise_v he_o that_o shall_v have_v his_o blood_n that_o shall_v require_v such_o suffering_n even_o from_o his_o son_n dreadful_a be_v god_n justice_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v and_o to_o be_v tremble_v at_o here_o we_o see_v what_o be_v require_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n and_o nothing_o will_v be_v bate_v to_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o med._n 6._o another_o meditation_n be_v this_o here_o i_o see_v present_v to_o i_o what_o every_o soul_n that_o shall_v be_v save_v cost_n whoever_o shall_v have_v his_o soul_n save_v he_o have_v it_o save_v by_o a_o ransom_n by_o a_o price_n pay_v that_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o ten_o thousand_o thousand_o world_n thou_o slight_a thy_o own_o soul_n but_o if_o it_o prove_v to_o be_v save_v it_o cost_v more_o than_o if_o thousand_o of_o world_n have_v be_v give_v for_o thou_o even_o the_o shed_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n every_o drop_n of_o which_o be_v more_o precious_a than_o ten_o thousand_o world_n med._n 7._o again_o from_o hence_o see_v what_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n how_o great_a it_o be_v that_o have_v make_v such_o a_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o my_o soul_n that_o only_o such_o a_o way_n and_o such_o a_o mean_n must_v take_v away_o my_o sin_n i_o must_v either_o have_v lie_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o my_o sin_n eternal_o or_o jesus_n christ_n that_n god_n and_o man_n must_v suffer_v so_o much_o for_o it_o oh_o what_o meditation_n be_v these_o to_o take_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n med._n 8._o behold_v the_o infinite_a love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n and_o the_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o rather_o than_o god_n will_v see_v the_o child_n of_o man_n to_o perish_v eternal_o he_o will_v send_v his_o son_n to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o thus_o to_o suffer_v such_o dreadful_a thing_n herein_o god_n show_v his_o love_n it_o be_v not_o the_o love_n of_o god_n so_o much_o in_o give_v you_o a_o good_a voyage_n and_o prosper_v you_o outward_o in_o the_o world_n but_o so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n and_o it_o please_v the_o father_n to_o break_v his_o son_n and_o to_o power_n out_o his_o blood_n here_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o jesus_n christ_n oh_o what_o a_o powerful_a mighty_a drawing_z efficacious_a meditation_n shall_v this_o be_v unto_o we_o med._n 9_o those_o that_o be_v believer_n they_o shall_v be_v nourish_v to_o eternal_a life_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n that_o ever_o a_o believer_n shall_v quite_o fall_v off_o from_o god_n and_o die_v in_o his_o sin_n why_o because_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o he_o for_o his_o spiritual_a nourishment_n though_o a_o believer_n be_v never_o so_o weak_a yet_o see_v god_n have_v appoint_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n for_o he_o to_o feed_v upon_o and_o to_o drink_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n sure_o then_o the_o weak_a in_o the_o world_n will_v be_v strengthen_v to_o go_v through_o all_o the_o hazard_n and_o danger_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v this_o that_o strengthen_v believer_n to_o encounter_v with_o all_o kind_n of_o danger_n it_o be_v this_o that_o preserve_v the_o weak_a grace_n in_o a_o believer_n namely_o the_o spiritual_a nourishment_n that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v appoint_v to_o they_o even_o the_o feed_n upon_o the_o body_n and_o drink_v the_o very_a blood_n of_o his_o son_n this_o be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o drink_v indeed_o that_o will_v nourish_v to_o eternal_a life_n med._n 10._o the_o last_o meditation_n be_v this_o when_o you_o come_v to_o this_o see_v the_o bread_n break_v and_o the_o wine_n pour_v out_o you_o have_v a_o occasion_n to_o meditate_v of_o the_o whole_a new_a covenant_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o god_n have_v make_v with_o sinner_n for_o so_o the_o word_n of_o institution_n be_v this_o be_v the_o cup_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o new_a covenant_n only_o different_a in_o this_o particular_a it_o contain_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n but_o call_v testament_n in_o this_o regard_n to_o show_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v do_v all_o in_o the_o new_a covenant_n that_o be_v he_o do_v not_o only_o promise_v such_o and_o such_o mercy_n upon_o condition_n of_o our_o believe_a and_o repent_v but_o he_o do_v work_n believe_v and_o repent_v and_o work_v grace_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v sometime_o call_v a_o covenant_n be_v call_v a_o testament_n that_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n wherein_o the_o lord_n do_v bequeath_v his_o rich_a legacy_n to_o his_o child_n to_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v eternal_o save_v so_o that_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n they_o be_v bequeath_v by_o way_n of_o testament_n as_o well_o as_o covenant_n and_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a comfortable_a meditation_n to_o the_o saint_n for_o indeed_o when_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o in_o a_o way_n of_o covenant_n why_o then_o they_o think_v thus_o this_o require_v somewhat_o of_o our_o part_n to_o be_v do_v and_o indeed_o god_n will_v

congregation_n that_o they_o be_v fit_a yet_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o concern_v the_o church_n as_o well_o to_o look_v who_o come_v there_o and_o likewise_o the_o minister_n i_o say_v to_o look_v about_o he_o that_o he_o do_v not_o say_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v to_o thou_o when_o he_o know_v they_o be_v profane_a and_o wicked_a it_o concern_v the_o minister_n to_o look_v that_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v a_o lie_n but_o now_o when_o the_o minister_n give_v it_o general_o to_o the_o church_n take_v eat_v and_o take_v drink_v he_o give_v it_o particular_o to_o no_o body_n now_o than_o his_o charge_n be_v divide_v to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o body_n that_o be_v unworthy_a let_v the_o church_n look_v to_o it_o as_o well_o as_o he_o though_o he_o as_o a_o eminent_a officer_n it_o be_v more_o especial_o in_o particular_a his_o duty_n than_o any_o other_o heretofore_o the_o charge_n will_v lie_v much_o upon_o the_o minister_n but_o the_o minister_n according_a to_o the_o institution_n shall_v give_v the_o sacrament_n to_o no_o particular_a but_o in_o general_a to_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v but_o any_o particular_a that_o the_o minister_n upon_o a_o particular_a knowledge_n do_v know_v to_o be_v naught_o he_o may_v in_o great_a part_n discharge_v himself_o as_o profess_v against_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a man_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n alone_o to_o keep_v any_o from_o the_o sacrament_n but_o if_o so_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v profess_v against_o such_o and_o such_o man_n the_o church_n must_v join_v with_o he_o to_o labour_v to_o keep_v they_o from_o the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o be_v the_o next_o thing_n for_o the_o institution_n christ_n give_v it_o not_o into_o any_o particular_a man_n hand_n but_o he_o give_v it_o to_o all_o say_v drink_v and_o eat_v you_o all_o of_o it_o a_o three_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v for_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o that_o all_o the_o while_n the_o communicant_n be_v take_v eat_a and_o drink_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n they_o shall_v all_o of_o they_o that_o while_o have_v their_o thought_n exercise_v about_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o be_v the_o institution_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o action_n intermingle_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n nothing_o but_o mind_v the_o work_n that_o you_o be_v about_o that_o be_v to_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o discern_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n not_o only_a when_o you_o yourselves_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o when_o you_o see_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n break_v or_o pour_v forth_o and_o you_o see_v other_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n all_o that_o while_n you_o shall_v be_v think_v of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n and_o consider_v what_o these_o outward_a clement_n do_v signify_v and_o that_o they_o do_v seal_v the_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n to_o be_v sing_v of_o psalm_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n while_o the_o sacrament_n be_v receive_v and_o so_o to_o have_v your_o thought_n about_o other_o thing_n sing_v of_o psalm_n in_o its_o due_a time_n be_v a_o good_a thing_n but_o for_o you_o to_o do_v it_o at_o that_o time_n when_o as_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v present_v before_o you_o and_o christ_n call_v you_o to_o look_v upon_o his_o body_n and_o to_o think_v upon_o what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v this_o be_v no_o seasonable_a time_n of_o sing_v and_o if_o you_o read_v the_o institution_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n after_o all_o be_v do_v the_o text_n say_v they_o sing_v a_o hymn_n so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n it_o be_v after_o the_o action_n be_v do_v of_o eat_v and_o drink_v then_o for_o the_o church_n to_o join_v together_o and_o sing_v a_o psalm_n in_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o then_o they_o must_v mind_v all_o the_o same_o thing_n together_o for_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n that_o look_v what_o one_o do_v all_o must_v mind_v together_o for_o when_o one_o part_n sing_v and_o the_o other_o be_v wait_v for_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n this_o be_v not_o suitable_a to_o the_o holy_a table-action_n and_o that_o communion_n that_o god_n require_v of_o we_o though_o the_o thing_n in_o themselves_o be_v both_o good_a that_o be_v do_v yet_o when_o we_o be_v about_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n be_v it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n for_o communion_n all_o be_v to_o be_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o so_o when_o all_o have_v do_v eat_v and_o drink_v then_o for_o all_o to_o join_v together_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n now_o it_o may_v be_v this_o at_o first_o seem_v strange_a to_o many_o yet_o certain_o observe_v this_o do_v but_o keep_v to_o the_o institution_n in_o the_o sacrament_n though_o you_o may_v think_v it_o a_o more_o mean_a way_n yet_o you_o will_v find_v a_o great_a beauty_n in_o this_o ordinance_n than_o ever_o you_o find_v in_o all_o your_o life_n for_o the_o more_o we_o keep_v to_o christ_n institution_n and_o mingle_v nothing_o of_o our_o own_o the_o more_o glory_n and_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n do_v appear_v in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o when_o any_o man_n shall_v mix_v any_o of_o his_o own_o invention_n though_o he_o may_v do_v it_o to_o a_o good_a end_n and_o think_v to_o add_v to_o and_o put_v a_o great_a lustre_n upon_o the_o sacrament_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o which_o he_o think_v to_o be_v a_o great_a lustre_n reverence_n or_o honour_n put_v upon_o it_o it_o do_v rather_o take_v off_o the_o lustre_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o sacrament_n then_o be_v the_o institution_n of_o christ_n glorious_a when_o there_o be_v no_o mixture_n among_o they_o thus_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o receive_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n you_o have_v have_v divers_a thing_n propound_v to_o you_o whereby_o you_o may_v come_v to_o know_v and_o easy_o to_o see_v that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o dishonour_n do_v to_o this_o sacrament_n and_o the_o beauty_n and_o glory_n of_o it_o have_v be_v darken_v and_o the_o sweet_a that_o the_o saint_n may_v otherwise_o have_v receive_v in_o partake_v have_v be_v exceed_o hinder_v there_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n more_o that_o i_o shall_v propound_v to_o you_o and_o that_o be_v the_o several_a meditation_n that_o we_o shall_v meditate_v on_o in_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o most_o concern_v meditation_n be_v suggest_v in_o the_o holy_a communion_n that_o be_v in_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o more_o concern_v more_o efficacious_a more_o various_a meditation_n we_o have_v suggest_v here_o than_o in_o any_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n that_o man_n and_o woman_n do_v not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n if_o so_o be_v their_o meditation_n be_v barren_a at_o that_o time_n i_o will_v therefore_o suggest_v some_o nine_o or_o ten_o meditation_n that_o that_o ordinance_n of_o god_n may_v hold_v out_o very_o plain_o and_o familiar_o to_o every_o communicant_a for_o the_o busy_a of_o their_o thought_n all_o the_o time_n that_o action_n be_v a_o do_v meditation_n 1._o as_o first_o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n salvation_n it_o be_v by_o a_o mediator_n it_o be_v not_o only_o by_o god_n mercy_n god_n say_v that_o he_o be_v offend_v by_o sin_n but_o he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o pass_v it_o by_o no_o but_o it_o be_v through_o a_o mediator_n now_o this_o meditation_n be_v suggest_v thus_o when_o i_o see_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n if_o i_o discern_v what_o that_o signify_v it_o will_v hold_v out_o this_o to_o i_o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n salvation_n it_o be_v not_o mere_o from_o hence_o that_o god_n say_v well_o i_o will_v pardon_v they_o and_o no_o more_o but_o there_o be_v require_v a_o great_a work_n of_o god_n to_o make_v a_o atonement_n between_o sinner_n and_o himself_o this_o sacrament_n do_v hold_v forth_o thus_o much_o unto_o we_o wherefore_o else_o have_v we_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o to_o signify_v that_o the_o way_n of_o our_o reconciliation_n it_o must_v be_v through_o a_o mediator_n med._n 2._o the_o second_o meditation_n be_v this_o that_o this_o mediator_n that_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o we_o be_v very_o and_o true_o man_n he_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o the_o bread_n that_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o wine_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v of_o the_o humane_a
