be_v pray_v for_o and_o that_o by_o so_o do_v i_o challenge_v a_o share_n therein_o and_o indeed_o if_o i_o neglect_v this_o i_o can_v scarce_o expect_v any_o part_n or_o interest_n in_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v to_o conclude_v in_o this_o word_n amen_n all_o the_o prayer_n be_v sum_v up_o and_o abridge_v and_o it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v be_v teach_v of_o such_o singular_a importance_n with_o the_o primitive_a christian_n that_o they_o speak_v it_o with_o so_o great_a zeal_n as_o that_o he_o who_o hear_v their_o voice_n will_v have_v think_v it_o have_v be_v a_o roar_a sea_n or_o thunder_n which_o shall_v awaken_v my_o drowsiness_n and_o move_v i_o with_o vigour_n and_o warmth_n to_o declare_v my_o fervent_a desire_n to_o have_v those_o prayer_n hear_v of_o god_n to_o which_o i_o say_v such_o a_o earnest_n hearty_a humble_a and_o zealous_a amen_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o creed_n i_o have_v be_v teach_v that_o god_n by_o his_o son_n have_v redeem_v i_o and_o all_o mankind_n and_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o make_v the_o last_o part_n of_o my_o catechism_n i_o have_v be_v teach_v how_o that_o by_o they_o god_n do_v exhibit_v and_o seal_v unto_o believer_n that_o redemption_n which_o christ_n purchase_v for_o they_o and_o as_o to_o the_o number_n of_o these_o sacrament_n i_o have_v learn_v they_o be_v but_o two_o and_o only_o two_o namely_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o i_o be_o convince_v that_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o receive_v these_o two_o who_o desire_v to_o be_v save_v which_o i_o do_v not_o so_o understand_v as_o if_o god_n can_v not_o save_v without_o they_o but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o instrumental_a mean_n and_o ordinary_a seal_n by_o which_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o convey_v and_o assure_v christ_n merit_n to_o i_o and_o command_v i_o this_o way_n to_o receive_v they_o so_o that_o wilful_o to_o neglect_v or_o to_o want_v the_o sacrament_n when_o they_o may_v be_v have_v be_v to_o cast_v aside_o god_n ordinance_n which_o every_o christian_a be_v bind_v to_o obey_v and_o as_o i_o have_v be_v teach_v so_o i_o look_v upon_o the_o sacrament_n as_o the_o conditional_a mean_n which_o god_n require_v to_o be_v observe_v of_o they_o unto_o who_o he_o impart_v his_o grace_n not_o as_o if_o this_o grace_n whereof_o a_o worthy_a receiver_n partake_v be_v a_o natural_a or_o supernatural_a quality_n in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o that_o it_o be_v from_o god_n himself_o which_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o sacrament_n so_o that_o grace_n be_v receive_v from_o god_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o this_o i_o have_v learn_v not_o only_o from_o you_o who_o be_v our_o parish-divine_a but_o also_o from_o mr._n hooker_n who_o judgement_n i_o have_v hear_v much_o praise_v by_o many_o of_o our_o best_a clergy_n this_o say_v he_o be_v the_o necessity_n of_o sacrament_n that_o save_v grace_n which_o christ_n original_o be_v or_o have_v for_o the_o general_n good_a of_o his_o whole_a church_n by_o sacrament_n he_o several_o derive_v into_o every_o member_n thereof_o sacrament_n serve_v as_o the_o instrument_n of_o god_n to_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n moral_a instrument_n the_o use_v whereof_o be_v in_o our_o hand_n the_o effect_n in_o he_o for_o the_o use_v we_o have_v his_o express_a commandment_n for_o the_o effect_v his_o conditional_a promise_n so_o that_o without_o our_o obedience_n to_o the_o one_o there_o be_v no_o apparent_a assurance_n of_o the_o other_o as_o contrariwise_o where_o the_o sign_n and_o sacrament_n of_o his_o grace_n be_v not_o either_o through_o contempt_n unreceive_v or_o not_o receive_v with_o contempt_n we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o they_o real_o give_v what_o they_o promise_v and_o be_v what_o they_o signify_v i_o full_o acquiesce_v as_o to_o this_o point_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o this_o considerable_a author_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v as_o i_o say_v two_o namely_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n by_o baptism_n i_o have_v my_o admission_n and_o entrance_n into_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n by_o which_o i_o be_o new_a bear_v and_o by_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o which_o i_o now_o earnest_o desire_v to_o be_v admit_v i_o believe_v i_o shall_v be_v nourish_v preserve_v and_o grow_v up_o in_o christ_n and_o these_o two_o sacrament_n i_o be_o sure_o be_v of_o christ_n own_o appointment_n and_o see_v that_o by_o the_o one_o i_o be_o enter_v into_o the_o christian_a profession_n and_o by_o the_o other_o i_o be_o therein_o strengthen_v and_o make_v perfect_a i_o see_v no_o neep_n of_o any_o more_o and_o not_o to_o trouble_v myself_o with_o the_o secular_a use_n of_o the_o word_n sacrament_n it_o serve_v my_o turn_n to_o understand_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n which_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v a_o outward_a and_o visible_a sign_n of_o a_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a grace_n ordain_v by_o christ_n himself_o and_o a_o mean_n whereby_o we_o receive_v the_o same_o grace_n and_o a_o pledge_n to_o assure_v we_o thereof_o now_o this_o description_n of_o a_o sacrament_n i_o have_v be_v often_o tell_v be_v the_o uneasy_a point_n in_o all_o my_o catechism_n i_o will_v therefore_o in_o order_n to_o be_v better_o inform_v set_v down_o my_o sense_n of_o this_o description_n and_o first_o by_o a_o outward_a and_o visible_a sign_n i_o understand_v that_o which_o present_v its_o self_n to_o my_o eye_n and_o represent_v somewhat_o else_o to_o my_o understanding_n as_o for_o example_n in_o baptism_n the_o outward_a and_o visible_a sign_n be_v water_n wherein_o the_o person_n be_v dip_v or_o sprinkle_v and_o the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a grace_n which_o be_v thereby_o signify_v be_v a_o death_n unto_o sin_n and_o a_o new-birth_n unto_o righteousness_n both_o which_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o baptism_n be_v convey_v to_o the_o baptise_a i_o have_v hear_v you_o catechise_v upon_o this_o point_n declare_v that_o it_o be_v the_o ancient_a manner_n of_o baptism_n to_o put_v the_o person_n baptize_v under_o water_n and_o then_o to_o take_v he_o out_o again_o and_o that_o this_o be_v do_v to_o signify_v his_o die_a unto_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o to_o newness_n of_o life_n the_o first_o declare_v the_o weaken_n the_o dead_n and_o put_v off_o of_o sin_n the_o latter_a show_v the_o performance_n of_o those_o action_n of_o man_n who_o be_v quicken_v by_o the_o spirit_n endeavour_v to_o serve_v god_n all_o their_o day_n in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n there_o be_v also_o a_o outward_a and_o visible_a sign_n namely_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o a_o inward_a part_n or_o thing_n signify_v to_o wit_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v spiritual_o receive_v by_o all_o worthy_a communicant_n and_o which_o be_v so_o receive_v their_o soul_n be_v strengthen_v and_o refresh_v and_o the_o same_o effect_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o inner_a man_n by_o the_o holy_a mystery_n which_o be_v in_o the_o outward_a by_o these_o element_n and_o as_o strength_n be_v from_o bread_n and_o cheerfulness_n from_o wine_n so_o i_o hope_v and_o expect_v that_o when_o i_o be_o admit_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n my_o heart_n will_v be_v establish_v by_o grace_n and_o my_o soul_n strengthen_v and_o my_o conscience_n make_v cheerful_a and_o light_a with_o the_o blessing_n and_o benefit_n that_o the_o sacrament_n will_v exhibit_v seal_n and_o convey_v unto_o i_o still_o suppose_v that_o i_o be_o in_o some_o competent_a measure_n fit_a to_o communicate_v and_o in_o order_n to_o be_v so_o i_o have_v learn_v from_o my_o catechism_n that_o these_o follow_a duty_n be_v require_v of_o i_o namely_o self-examination_n repentance_n faith_n thankfulness_n and_o charity_n and_o for_o my_o assistance_n in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o examination_n of_o these_o grace_n i_o have_v choose_v the_o introduction_n to_o the_o sacrament_n write_v by_o doctor_n addison_n dean_n of_o lit●●field_n on_o purpose_n for_o such_o if_o capacity_n as_o my_o own_o and_o after_o this_o familiar_a account_n of_o my_o knowledge_n in_o religion_n you_o to_o who_o i_o commit_v the_o care_n of_o my_o soul_n shall_v judge_v i_o competent_a to_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n i_o shall_v esteem_v my_o condition_n happy_a as_o be_v persuade_v that_o i_o have_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o repair_v my_o vow_n of_o baptism_n which_o by_o numerous_a way_n i_o have_v break_v and_o to_o renew_v the_o covenant_n i_o make_v with_o god_n when_o i_o be_v christen_v and_o to_o be_v restore_v to_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o baptism_n forfeit_v by_o the_o sin_n i_o have_v commit_v since_o i_o be_v baptize_v i_o say_v i_o be_o persuade_v that_o i_o can_v obtain_v these_o thing_n by_o any_o

likewise_o under_o the_o term_n of_o daily_a bread_n pray_v that_o god_n will_v give_v i_o that_o continual_a supply_n of_o his_o grace_n which_o may_v sustain_v and_o nourish_v my_o soul_n unto_o
