that_o devotion_n which_o ought_v to_o go_v before_o the_o use_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n now_o tell_v i_o also_o somewhat_o of_o that_o devotion_n which_o i_o ought_v to_o use_v at_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o holy_a communion_n that_o devotion_n be_v either_o external_a namely_o that_o we_o do_v sober_o and_o reverent_o approach_v unto_o this_o holy_a action_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o outward_a gesture_n or_o internal_a and_o principal_a which_o consist_v in_o these_o four_o point_n first_o that_o thou_o render_v unto_o christ_n most_o devout_a and_o hearty_a thanks_n for_o that_o his_o passion_n and_o death_n which_o for_o thy_o sake_n he_o suffer_v and_o sustain_v second_o that_o thou_o take_v the_o sacred_a bread_n do_v make_v sure_a thy_o faith_n and_o appropriate_v unto_o thyself_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n passion_n and_o so_o of_o the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o cross_n cherish_v &_o strengthen_v thy_o conscience_n with_o that_o assurance_n and_o then_o take_v the_o wine_n that_o thou_o bethink_v with_o thyself_o how_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v shed_v for_o thy_o sin_n and_o so_o withal_o reviue_v and_o fill_v with_o joy_n thy_o droop_a conscience_n three_o this_o devotion_n must_v be_v also_o in_o consideration_n of_o thy_o own_o self_n that_o thou_o do_v hereafter_o dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v thyself_o whole_o both_o in_o soul_n and_o in_o body_n and_o all_o thy_o work_n unto_o god_n four_o that_o thou_o do_v also_o remember_v the_o church_n in_o who_o sight_n thou_o use_v the_o lord_n supper_n firm_o resolve_v with_o thyself_o to_o abide_v always_o in_o that_o church_n and_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o charity_n unto_o the_o brethren_n for_o the_o better_a effect_v of_o these_o 4_o point_n of_o this_o internal_a devotion_n every_o one_o may_v use_v some_o pithy_a form_n of_o prayer_n about_o the_o very_a act_n of_o receive_v and_o so_o have_v we_o finish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o true_a preparation_n unto_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o together_o with_o it_o have_v lay_v down_o the_o sum_n and_o epitome_n of_o all_o divinity_n now_o what_o remain_v but_o that_o we_o earnest_o entreat_v of_o god_n since_o his_o word_n be_v a_o lantern_n unto_o our_o foot_n and_o a_o light_n to_o our_o path_n that_o he_o will_v enlighten_v our_o mind_n and_o open_v our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v the_o undoubted_a truth_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o be_v pious_o transform_v into_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o understand_v so_o that_o we_o may_v not_o in_o any_o thing_n displease_v his_o heavenly_a majesty_n and_o that_o for_o christ_n jesus_n sake_n our_o lord_n and_o only_a saviour_n so_o be_v it_o a_o brief_a direction_n how_o to_o examine_v ourselves_o before_o we_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n how_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o there_o and_o how_o to_o try_v ourselves_o afterward_o before_o we_o must_v dare_v to_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a communion_n we_o must_v diligent_o and_o careful_o sift_v and_o examine_v ourselves_o i._o the_o subject_n of_o our_o examination_n be_v our_o 〈…〉_o our_o a_o man_n must_v not_o set_v up_o his_o consistory_n in_o other_o man_n

the_o second_o concern_v our_o faith_n the_o three_o be_v about_o our_o charity_n touch_v our_o repentance_n thus_o we_o can_v choose_v but_o know_v our_o conscience_n witness_v unto_o we_o how_o grievous_o we_o do_v daily_o offend_v against_o god_n holy_a statute_n both_o in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n wherefore_o we_o see_v our_o hideous_a sin_n and_o misdeed_n for_o which_o if_o god_n
