wherein_o he_o recommend_v this_o duty_n unto_o we_o upon_o this_o particular_a account_n that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n we_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n

to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n ii_o the_o second_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a duty_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v often_o perform_v and_o then_o iii_o it_o be_v here_o plain_o assert_v that_o when_o it_o be_v perform_v the_o thing_n design_v in_o it_o and_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o aim_v at_o be_v to_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o

shall_v confine_v my_o discourse_n and_o of_o the_o first_o at_o this_o time_n i._o that_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a duty_n incumbent_a upon_o every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n that_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n this_o be_v suppose_v in_o the_o word_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o a_o mere_a permission_n that_o we_o may_v do_v this_o if_o we_o think_v good_a and_o when_o we_o think_v good_a but_o as_o a_o command_n of_o something_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v we_o do_v when_o we_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n in_o which_o we_o show_v forth_o christ_n death_n it_o plain_o imply_v that_o it_o must_v be_v do_v and_o be_v not_o leave_v to_o our_o choice_n whether_o we_o will_v show_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n or_o no._n of_o which_o more_o anon_o when_o i_o have_v lay_v some_o other_o thing_n before_o you_o which_o will_v convince_v you_o if_o they_o be_v consider_v of_o the_o obligation_n that_o lie_v upon_o you_o to_o the_o serious_a performance_n of_o this_o duty_n and_o for_o our_o clear_a and_o orderly_o proceed_v i_o shall_v cast_v my_o discourse_n into_o this_o method_n i._n first_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o plain_a institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o a_o command_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v receive_v and_o then_o ii_o second_o i_o shall_v show_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n after_o ●hat_n time_n when_o they_o first_o receive_v it_o with_o our_o saviour_n that_o it_o be_v no_o temporary_a command_n but_o of_o everlasting_a obligation_n iii_o three_o that_o there_o be_v more_o ●han_n their_o practice_n to_o interpret_v the_o meaning_n and_o obligation_n of_o this_o command_n iu._n four_o that_o in_o this_o discourse_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n there_o be_v evident_a proof_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o its_o performance_n v._n five_o that_o the_o very_a text_n show_v the_o same_o by_o the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v institute_v vi_o last_o that_o all_o these_o reason_n be_v exemplify_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o christ_n i._o and_o first_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v a_o divine_a institution_n ordain_v command_v and_o require_v by_o christ_n himself_o who_o the_o same_o night_n that_o he_o be_v betray_v take_v bread_n and_o bless_v it_o and_o break_v it_o and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o say_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o he_o take_v the_o cup_n and_o give_v thanks_o and_o give_v it_o to_o they_o say_v drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o for_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n matth._n xxvi_o 26_o 27_o 28._o here_o be_v as_o manifest_v a_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o as_o formal_a a_o command_n to_o take_v and_o eat_v and_o drink_v what_o christ_n then_o give_v as_o can_v be_v contrive_v in_o word_n unless_o they_o be_v plain_a which_o we_o read_v in_o other_o place_n for_o the_o institution_n be_v record_v by_o the_o two_o next_o evangelist_n st._n mark_n and_o st._n luke_n and_o here_o again_o in_o this_o chapter_n by_o st._n paul_n which_o two_o last_n name_v

this_o be_v grant_v which_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a in_o so_o many_o several_a way_n wherein_o several_a man_n wonder_v to_o trace_v every_o man_n error_n find_v out_o his_o

so_o small_a a_o compass_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o advice_n only_o which_o can_v be_v give_v for_o such_o man_n satisfaction_n which_o be_v this_o that_o see_v it_o be_v certain_o our_o christian_a duty_n to_o communicate_v together_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n in_o some_o form_n manner_n and_o method_n or_o other_o they_o that_o be_v dissatisfy_v with_o that_o order_n and_o method_n which_o our_o church_n use_v aught_o in_o conscience_n to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o their_o spiritual_a pastor_n private_o and_o make_v know_v to_o they_o their_o objection_n against_o it_o with_o a_o mind_n ready_a and_o desirous_a to_o receive_v satisfaction_n for_o in_o a_o age_n which_o abound_v with_o such_o various_a fancy_n and_o conceit_n as_o we_o sometime_o meet_v withal_o no_o minister_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v able_a to_o guess_v before_o he_o confer_v with_o they_o what_o every_o one_o of_o his_o flock_n will_v object_v to_o the_o present_a establish_a way_n of_o

to_o be_v object_v which_o be_v not_o or_o omit_v that_o which_o be_v and_o which_o perhaps_o he_o can_v not_o imagine_v will_v have_v be_v object_v for_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v impossible_a even_o for_o the_o press_n itself_o to_o meet_v with_o every_o particular_a exception_n though_o a_o large_a book_n shall_v be_v write_v on_o the_o subject_n and_o therefore_o the_o short_a the_o sure_a and_o the_o easy_a way_n to_o certain_a satisfaction_n be_v for_o every_o one_o that_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o say_v against_o the_o manner_n and_o form_n of_o divine_a administration_n among_o we_o which_o hinder_v he_o from_o communicate_v to_o address_v himself_o to_o his_o spiritual_a guide_n who_o god_n have_v set_v over_o he_o or_o to_o some_o other_o discreet_a and_o learned_a

against_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o christian_a duty_n viz._n the_o company_n which_o partake_v at_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o some_o perhaps_o think_v unfit_a for_o they_o to_o communicate_v withal_o i_o shall_v answer_v to_o it_o a_o little_a more_o large_o i._o and_o first_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v undoubted_o certain_a that_o no_o man_n or_o woman_n who_o profess_v and_o understand_v christianity_n and_o do_v not_o contradict_v their_o profession_n by_o a_o profane_a and_o scandalous_a conversation_n can_v lawful_o be_v deny_v the_o holy_a communion_n when_o they_o present_v themselves_o to_o receive_v it_o for_o who_o be_v they_o for_o who_o christ_n prepare_v this_o table_n but_o his_o disciple_n and_o what_o other_o rule_n have_v we_o whereby_o to_o

profession_n if_o such_o as_o these_o may_v not_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o holy_a communion_n and_o consequent_o we_o receive_v with_o such_o than_o none_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v but_o we_o must_v turn_v all_o people_n whatsoever_o from_o it_o and_o so_o break_v all_o christian_a communion_n for_o want_v of_o company_n to_o partake_v of_o this_o sacrament_n extinguish_v the_o ordinance_n itself_o which_o christ_n have_v most_o solemn_o appoint_v ii_o now_o this_o be_v settle_v as_o a_o wellgrounded_n truth_n it_o follow_v that_o no_o good_a christian_n can_v be_v forward_o to_o judge_v other_o to_o be_v unworthy_a to_o communicate_v but_o rather_o will_v be_v very_o scrupulous_a lest_o he_o offend_v in_o so_o judge_v for_o it_o be_v so_o much_o against_o the_o rule_n of_o christianity_n to_o pass_v such_o censure_n on_o other_o that_o they_o who_o be_v too_o forward_o to_o do_v it_o be_v as_o unworthy_a for_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o can_v see_v as_o any_o other_o person_n who_o they_o censure_v because_o they_o act_v contrary_a to_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o make_v it_o a_o sin_n to_o be_v hasty_a in_o condemn_v our_o neighbour_n there_o be_v such_o great_a danger_n that_o we_o may_v be_v mistake_v for_o though_o a_o man_n have_v contradict_v his_o christian_a profession_n in_o some_o thing_n yet_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n wherein_o we_o all_o agree_v that_o whosoever_o be_v a_o true_a penitent_a and_o purpose_n to_o leave_v those_o sin_n whereby_o he_o have_v contradict_v it_o be_v by_o that_o repentance_n restore_v to_o friendship_n with_o god_n and_o therefore_o real_o worthy_a to_o receive_v the_o holy_a communion_n now_o whether_o a_o man_n who_o you_o judge_v unworthy_a have_v this_o serious_a settle_a purpose_n or_o no_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o you_o to_o know_v since_o you_o can_v see_v into_o any_o man_n heart_n nor_o know_v what_o be_v between_o god_n and_o he_o in_o secret_a but_o he_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n you_o ought_v rather_o to_o judge_v that_o he_o do_v so_o purpose_n and_o resolve_v because_o he_o be_v invite_v thither_o upon_o those_o term_n and_o no_o other_o nay_o require_v to_o come_v so_o prepare_v or_o else_o not_o dare_v to_o approach_v unto_o it_o for_o so_o you_o find_v it_o in_o the_o exhortation_n that_o be_v read_v when_o the_o minister_n give_v warning_n for_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o so_o he_o speak_v again_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o celebration_n in_o those_o know_a word_n you_o that_o do_v true_o and_o earnest_o repent_v you_o of_o your_o sin_n and_o be_v in_o love_n and_o charity_n with_o your_o neighbour_n and_o intend_v to_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n follow_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o walk_v from_o

and_o therefore_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o depart_v from_o its_o communion_n when_o any_o minister_n thereof_o do_v admit_v such_o evil_a liver_n to_o it_o because_o it_o be_v his_o personal_a fault_n

that_o minister_n himself_o perhaps_o may_v not_o be_v in_o fault_n have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o the_o scandal_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v blame_v and_o more_o than_o this_o he_o perhaps_o who_o complain_v of_o the_o scandal_n be_v the_o very_a man_n upon_o who_o this_o blame_n will_v light_v at_o last_o for_o if_o he_o know_v of_o any_o such_o notorious_a evil_a liver_n who_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o communion_n his_o duty_n be_v not_o thereupon_o to_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o it_o but_o to_o make_v proof_n of_o the_o scandal_n whereof_o such_o a_o man_n stand_v guilty_a
