who_o approach_v to_o this_o divine_a banquet_n first_o that_o he_o examen_fw-la well_n himself_o as_o s._n paul_n do_v exhort_v that_o he_o come_v prepare_v and_o fitting_o dispose_v on_o his_o part_n for_o which_o purpose_n these_o four_o disposition_n be_v principal_o require_v the_o first_o a_o firm_a faith_n to_o believe_v christ_n own_o word_n and_o his_o church_n doctrine_n teach_v that_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n be_v pronounce_v what_o be_v bread_n before_o be_v change_v by_o divine_a virtue_n into_o the_o true_a real_a and_o substantial_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o although_o the_o colour_n figure_n taste_n and_o other_o accident_n of_o bread_n remain_v yet_o the_o substance_n be_v convert_v into_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v now_o live_v glorious_a and_o immortal_a it_o can_v receive_v no_o division_n nor_o indignity_n but_o be_v unite_v to_o his_o blood_n soul_n and_o divinity_n the_o second_o disposition_n require_v be_v a_o great_a purity_n principal_o from_o all_o mortal_a sin_n as_o also_o from_o all_o voluntary_a and_o deliberate_a affection_n to_o either_o mortal_a or_o venial_a and_o beside_o this_o purity_n of_o conscience_n purity_n also_o of_o intention_n be_v requisite_a for_o he_o will_v be_v great_o blamable_a who_o shall_v approach_v to_o this_o divine_a table_n for_o vain_a human_a respect_n to_o be_v esteem_v devout_a or_o to_o gain_v the_o good_a opinion_n of_o men._n but_o his_o intention_n must_v be_v pure_o to_o please_v god_n to_o be_v more_o close_o unite_v to_o he_o and_o to_o be_v make_v more_o capable_a thereby_o to_o glorify_v to_o love_v and_o to_o serve_v his_o heavenly_a majesty_n the_o three_o disposition_n be_v profound_a humility_n to_o which_o the_o christian_a may_v strong_o be_v move_v he_o well_o consider_v on_o the_o one_o side_n god_n greatness_n and_o infinite_a sanctity_n and_o his_o own_o origin_n from_o nothing_o bring_v by_o sin_n to_o so_o despicable_a a_o state_n on_o the_o other_o which_o very_o think_v aught_o to_o give_v great_a confusion_n to_o a_o penitent_a sinner_n now_o ready_a to_o approach_v to_o this_o god_n of_o all_o glory_n and_o majesty_n before_o who_o the_o angel_n seraphin_n and_o cherubin_n do_v tremble_v with_o respect_n and_o fear_n final_o the_o four_o disposition_n be_v love_n and_o ardent_a charity_n towards_o this_o our_o divine_a redeemer_n who_o give_v himself_o to_o we_o with_o so_o excessive_a good_a nesse_n with_o grace_n and_o benediction_n from_o the_o superabundant_a fountain_n of_o this_o divine_a sacrament_n flow_v copious_o into_o a_o open_a and_o love_a hart_n and_o therefore_o undoubted_o the_o most_o excellent_a disposition_n which_o a_o christian_a can_v bring_v to_o the_o holy_a communion_n be_v to_o excite_v himself_o interior_o to_o the_o fervent_a act_n of_o love_n towards_o jesus_n christ_n with_o strong_a resolution_n whole_o to_o consecrate_v himself_o to_o please_v and_o love_v he_o to_o serve_v and_o glorify_v he_o by_o his_o whole_a life_n and_o action_n but_o although_o these_o disposition_n regard_v our_o soul_n be_v both_o the_o principal_a and_o most_o necessary_a yet_o such_o as_o concern_v the_o body_n must_v not_o be_v neglect_v as_o first_o that_o the_o communicant_a present_a himself_o to_o this_o divine_a banquet_n with_o fit_v decency_n in_o apparel_n with_o modest_a and_o reverend_a comportment_n yet_o all_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o decent_a modesty_n and_o without_o all_o superfluous_a affectation_n he_o must_v also_o be_v fast_v and_o have_v swallow_v nothing_o from_o the_o midnight_n before_o his_o communion_n who_o be_v now_o to_o approach_v to_o this_o heavenly_a table_n it_o must_v be_v with_o great_a modesty_n and_o devout_a humility_n say_v the_o confiteor_fw-la with_o true_a hearty_a sorrow_n for_o have_v offend_v so_o great_a and_o so_o good_a a_o god_n and_o the_o priest_n say_v domine_fw-la
