satisfaction_n concern_v mix_v communion_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o doubt_n of_o some_o who_o abstain_v from_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n because_o wicked_a person_n be_v present_a i_o approve_v this_o book_n entitle_v satisfaction_n concern_v mix_v communion_n as_o sound_v in_o doctrine_n and_o profitable_a in_o use_n for_o these_o time_n john_n downame_n london_n print_v by_o

communion_n before_o i_o proceed_v to_o answer_v your_o doubt_n i_o must_v premise_v a_o word_n or_o two_o that_o i_o be_v not_o mistake_v and_o suppose_v to_o maintain_v that_o which_o i_o oppose_v 1._o i_o say_v not_o that_o wicked_a person_n ought_v to_o come_v 2._o nor_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v away_o for_o in_o this_o i_o agree_v with_o you_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o come_v unfit_a though_o they_o may_v be_v admit_v neither_o ought_v they_o to_o be_v admit_v by_o those_o who_o have_v power_n to_o keep_v they_o away_o though_o they_o will_v dare_v to_o come_v 3._o but_o i_o say_v their_o undue_a come_n be_v no_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o i_o or_o you_o to_o keep_v away_o again_o i_o propose_v it_o to_o be_v well_o consider_v that_o the_o omission_n of_o a_o undoubted_a duty_n be_v not_o excuse_v by_o my_o mistake_n concern_v some_o circumstance_n and_o therefore_o the_o celebration_n and_o participation_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v undeniable_o my_o duty_n which_o i_o may_v not_o decline_v at_o least_o constant_o or_o even_o for_o any_o long_a time_n without_o a_o just_a impediment_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a excuse_n for_o omission_n that_o i_o think_v myself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o abstain_v because_o of_o such_o a_o impediment_n unless_o that_o impediment_n be_v real_o sufficient_a for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o suppose_a impediment_n but_o a_o real_a impediment_n that_o will_v warrant_v my_o omit_v a_o duty_n command_v uzzah_n no_o question_n think_v himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o stay_v the_o ark_n rather_o than_o to_o let_v it_o fall_v but_o yet_o his_o think_a himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n do_v neither_o excuse_n the_o action_n from_o be_v a_o sin_n nor_o the_o person_n from_o be_v punish_v the_o like_a must_v be_v say_v in_o case_n a_o man_n shall_v abstain_v from_o prayer_n from_o hear_v from_o confess_v his_o sin_n to_o god_n from_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n from_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n or_o the_o like_a because_o he_o think_v himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n not_o to_o do_v it_o as_o suppose_v he_o think_v himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n not_o to_o hear_v such_o a_o minister_n who_o he_o conceive_v to_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n and_o therefore_o rather_o than_o hear_v he_o he_o will_v never_o come_v to_o church_n at_o all_o or_o that_o he_o think_v himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n not_o to_o pray_v daily_o but_o only_o as_o the_o spirit_n move_v that_o he_o ought_v not_o confess_v his_o sin_n or_o be_v humble_v for_o they_o because_o he_o think_v there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o such_o duty_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o the_o like_a i_o say_v his_o think_a himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n not_o to_o perform_v such_o duty_n do_v not_o make_v these_o cease_v to_o be_v duty_n nor_o excuse_v his_o omission_n of_o they_o for_o if_o my_o conscience_n be_v in_o a_o error_n in_o so_o judge_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o i_o to_o omit_v

so_o apt_a to_o be_v satisfy_v present_o in_o abstain_v from_o the_o sacrament_n if_o they_o can_v say_v they_o think_v themselves_o bind_v in_o conscience_n not_o to_o come_v for_o such_o and_o such_o reason_n as_o if_o they_o be_v then_o out_o of_o all_o danger_n of_o sin_v in_o stay_v away_o and_o bind_v in_o conscience_n so_o to_o do_v and_o never_o consider_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o if_o their_o conscience_n be_v in_o a_o error_n they_o sin_v notwithstanding_o for_o it_o be_v not_o my_o opinion_n or_o what_o i_o think_v myself_o in_o conscience_n bind_v to_o but_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o make_v a_o action_n lawful_a or_o sinful_a and_o therefore_o though_o i_o think_v myself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o stay_v away_o yet_o if_o i_o think_v amiss_o i_o sin_n in_o so_o do_v this_o be_v premise_v i_o proceed_v to_o answer_v your_o doubt_n we_o may_v not_o you_o say_v communicate_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n with_o profane_a person_n your_o reason_n 1._o they_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n 2._o nor_o have_v right_a to_o it_o 3._o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a banquet_n only_o for_o the_o saint_n 4._o christ_n say_v it_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o take_v the_o child_n bread_n and_o give_v it_o to_o dog_n answer_n all_o this_o conclude_v well_o that_o profane_a person_n ought_v not_o to_o come_v or_o if_o they_o do_v come_v they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v by_o they_o that_o have_v power_n to_o keep_v they_o away_o but_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o another_o private_a person_n in_o such_o a_o case_n ought_v not_o to_o receive_v they_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n what_o then_o therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o come_v true_a but_o ought_v not_o i_o to_o come_v neither_o must_v not_o i_o partake_v of_o the_o lord_n table_n because_o another_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n they_o have_v no_o right_a to_o it_o true_a and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o intrude_v we_o grant_v it_o but_o because_o another_o have_v no_o right_a may_v not_o i_o challenge_v i_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a banquet_n only_o for_o saint_n true_a but_o what_o follow_v therefore_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v keep_v away_o i_o grant_v it_o but_o in_o case_n i_o can_v keep_v they_o away_o must_v i_o stay_v away_o myself_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o give_v the_o child_n bread_n to_o dog_n true_a though_o doubtless_o christ_n when_o he_o speak_v it_o never_o intend_v to_o restrain_v that_o speech_n to_o the_o case_n of_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o the_o dog_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v away_o but_o in_o case_n the_o dog_n be_v not_o shut_v out_o of_o the_o room_n but_o catch_v a_o piece_n must_v the_o child_n therefore_o leave_v their_o bread_n if_o dog_n be_v suffer_v to_o snatch_v some_o of_o the_o child_n bread_n yet_o the_o child_n must_v not_o leave_v their_o part_n and_o run_v from_o the_o table_n much_o less_o forbear_v to_o come_v to_o their_o meat_n because_o there_o be_v some_o dog_n in_o the_o room_n who_o will_v catch_v a_o part_n or_o some_o will_v be_v give_v they_o the_o argument_n conclude_v well_o that_o profane_a person_n if_o know_v aught_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o it_o by_o those_o that_o have_v authority_n which_o if_o the_o people_n shall_v have_v together_o which_o i_o do_v not_o now_o dispute_v yet_o certain_o not_o every_o private_a man_n or_o woman_n much_o less_o alone_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o admission_n be_v they_o and_o only_o they_o who_o have_v authority_n if_o they_o know_v they_o such_o or_o they_o who_o can_v prove_v they_o such_o and_o do_v not_o which_o be_v hard_o to_o do_v though_o one_o be_v certain_a of_o it_o in_o his_o own_o mind_n even_o authority_n must_v not_o censure_v without_o just_a proof_n this_o then_o be_v nothing_o to_o private_a person_n who_o be_v no_o otherwise_o guilty_a of_o the_o neglect_n of_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n omit_v to_o censure_n than_o they_o may_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o neglect_n of_o civil_a authority_n omit_v to_o punish_v and_o yet_o none_o hold_v themselves_o bind_v to_o depart_v out_o of_o civil_a society_n mere_o because_o some_o evil_a doer_n be_v not_o due_o punish_v no_o not_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n to_o go_v off_o the_o bench_n because_o some_o of_o his_o fellow-justice_n be_v corrupt_a beside_o the_o business_n be_v first_o to_o worship_n god_n and_o christ_n and_o to_o remember_v and_o show_v forth_o his_o death_n how_o dare_v i_o forbear_v this_o when_o his_o child_n be_v meet_v to_o do_v it_o because_o some_o other_o thrust_v themselves_o in_o who_o pretend_v to_o worship_v he_o too_o and_o join_v rather_o with_o i_o though_o unwarrantable_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o sinfulness_n than_o i_o with_o they_o mark_v this_o difference_n it_o be_v very_o material_a you_o say_v and_o say_v true_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o spiritual_a banquet_n only_o for_o saint_n that_o be_v christ_n will_v only_o bid_v they_o welcome_n i_o say_v it_o also_o and_o
