110._o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v these_o 1._o because_o the_o matter_n of_o duty_n be_v easy_a but_o the_o manner_n be_v difficult_a ibid._n 2._o dutres_fw-fr for_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o

lord_n table_n 115._o four_o reason_n hereof_o 1._o because_o the_o sacrament_n be_v god_n ordinance_n ibid._n 2._o because_o the_o lord_n christ_n have_v make_v great_a preparation_n in_o provide_v it_o 116._o 3._o because_o christ_n in_o this_o ordinance_n offer_v to_o come_v into_o the_o soul_n and_o he_o look_v for_o good_a entertainment_n ibid._n 4._o because_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o part_n of_o christ_n last_o will_v and_o testament_n therefore_o when_o we_o know_v our_o lord_n will_v we_o must_v prepare_v for_o the_o do_v of_o it_o 117._o the_o content_n of_o the_o eight_o

because_o the_o office_n of_o a_o reprover_n bind_v he_o to_o be_v blameless_a ibid._n 2._o because_o such_o a_o reprover_n as_o be_v guilty_a himself_o can_v never_o reprove_v to_o a_o right_a end_n ibid._n 3._o neither_o can_v he_o do_v it_o in_o a_o right_a manner_n 123._o 4._o such_o a_o reprover_n be_v a_o hypocrite_n ibid._n 5._o such_o a_o reprove_v of_o another_o man_n sin_n make_v he_o
