in_o terminis_fw-la before_o this_o time_n and_o therefore_o augustin_n think_v it_o be_v only_o the_o word_n god_n speak_v but_o not_o write_v and_o so_o they_o have_v it_o from_o hand_n to_o hand_n

the_o scope_n of_o it_o now_o in_o this_o scripture_n you_o have_v these_o three_o special_a and_o notable_a point_n 1_o that_o in_o worship_v of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o 2_o that_o when_o we_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o sanctify_v god_n name_n 3_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o our_o drawing_n nigh_o to_o he_o then_o certain_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o own_o name_n upon_o we_o these_o be_v the_o three_o point_n that_o i_o intend_v to_o handle_v and_o especial_o the_o second_o to_o handle_v large_o among_o you_o i_o confess_v upon_o another_o occasion_n in_o one_o sermon_n i_o have_v speak_v out_o of_o these_o word_n but_o now_o i_o intend_v not_o only_o in_o general_n to_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o worship_n but_o likewise_o in_o the_o particular_a act_n of_o worship_n as_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o prayer_n in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o the_o several_a chief_a part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n how_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v for_o in_o all_o these_o you_o do_v draw_v night_n to_o god_n and_o for_o that_o end_n i_o have_v pitch_v my_o thought_n upon_o this_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o these_o three_o great_a point_n that_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n in_o the_o word_n read_v unto_o you_o i_o shall_v take_v up_o divers_a other_o note_n of_o observation_n that_o lie_v up_o and_o down_o as_o it_o be_v scatter_v that_o be_v of_o great_a use_n and_o will_v help_v we_o further_a to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o scripture_n in_o the_o other_o point_n that_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o afterward_o and_o handle_v more_o large_o the_o first_o note_n be_v this_o that_o in_o god_n worship_n there_o must_v be_v nothing_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n but_o what_o he_o have_v command_v whatsoever_o we_o meddle_v with_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n it_o must_v be_v what_o we_o have_v a_o warrant_n for_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o this_o speech_n of_o moses_n be_v upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o aaron_n son_n for_o offer_v strange_a fire_n they_o offer_v fire_n that_o god_n have_v not_o command_v hence_o i_o say_v that_o all_o thing_n in_o god_n worship_n must_v have_v a_o warrant_v out_o of_o god_n word_n must_v be_v command_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v not_o forbid_v i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v it_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o forbid_v and_o what_o hurt_n be_v there_o in_o it_o but_o it_o must_v be_v command_v i_o confess_v in_o matter_n that_o be_v civil_a and_o natural_a there_o this_o may_v be_v enough_o if_o it_o be_v but_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o prudence_n and_o not_o forbid_v in_o the_o word_n we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o this_o in_o civil_a and_o natural_a thing_n but_o now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o matter_n of_o religion_n

open_v this_o point_n full_o will_v ask_v some_o time_n first_o therefore_o i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o we_o may_v know_v when_o our_o duty_n be_v act_v by_o our_o natural_a part_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o how_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o our_o duty_n be_v act_v by_o natural_a conscience_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 1._o first_o if_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o natural_a part_n they_o will_v not_o change_v thy_o heart_n man_n that_o do_v perform_v duty_n by_o the_o strength_n of_o natural_a part_n they_o may_v be_v as_o large_a as_o other_o and_o speak_v to_o the_o edification_n of_o other_o but_o those_o duty_n do_v never_o change_v their_o heart_n now_o if_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n thou_o will_v be_v change_v into_o the_o very_a image_n of_o his_o spirit_n 2._o second_o if_o man_n be_v act_v by_o natural_a part_n they_o will_v not_o carry_v they_o through_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n but_o now_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o have_v act_v by_o he_o though_o thou_o do_v meet_v with_o never_o such_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n thou_o will_v be_v carry_v through_o they_o all_o 3._o thou_o may_v know_v it_o by_o this_o wherein_o do_v thou_o account_v the_o excellency_n of_o a_o duty_n to_o consist_v either_o in_o thyself_o or_o other_o thou_o perform_v a_o duty_n now_o it_o may_v be_v thy_o part_n do_v act_v very_o lively_a and_o to_o thy_o credit_n and_o yet_o thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o that_o thy_o heart_n be_v straighten_v now_o can_v thou_o rise_v up_o with_o joy_n because_o thou_o have_v thy_o end_n at_o another_o time_n perhaps_o thy_o heart_n be_v more_o trouble_v and_o break_v but_o thou_o do_v not_o express_v thyself_o so_o much_o than_o thou_o be_v

they_o be_v less_o enlarge_v than_o they_o be_v before_o other_o a_o great_a deal_n their_o part_n act_n much_o before_o other_o but_o what_o be_v there_o between_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n 5._o they_o that_o be_v so_o act_v will_v not_o be_v very_o constant_a you_o shall_v have_v young_a one_o that_o begin_v to_o look_v towards_o religion_n their_o part_n be_v a_o little_a fresh_a and_o

they_o be_v dead_a and_o dull_a than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o have_v less_o mind_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n than_o they_o have_v former_o be_v this_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n you_o will_v find_v as_o much_o savour_n and_o relish_v in_o they_o afterward_o as_o there_o be_v at_o that_o time_n second_o for_o natural_a conscience_n which_o sometime_o put_v man_n upon_o act_v of_o

to_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n or_o in_o any_o other_o duty_n and_o when_o you_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n remember_v that_o you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n and_o none_o else_o you_o be_v every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n to_o be_v as_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n separate_v from_o all_o thing_n valerius_n maximus_n tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o young_a nobleman_n that_o attend_v upon_o alexander_n while_o he_o be_v sacrifice_v this_o nobleman_n hold_v his_o censer_n for_o incense_n and_o in_o the_o hold_n of_o it_o there_o fall_v a_o coal_n upon_o his_o

matter_n of_o great_a consequence_n oh_o that_o we_o can_v mind_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n that_o so_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o

every_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n not_o only_o as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o tender_v up_o thy_o service_n in_o his_o name_n but_o act_v thy_o faith_n upon_o christ_n to_o give_v thou_o strength_n to_o do_v what_o thou_o have_v to_o do_v and_o what_o strength_n thou_o have_v receive_v from_o christ_n be_v sure_a to_o stir_v it_o up_o many_o godly_a man_n and_o woman_n have_v more_o

the_o shame_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n for_o it_o abide_v upon_o thou_o till_o the_o next_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n and_o that_o will_v mighty_o help_v thou_o thou_o be_v now_o

his_o name_n in_o a_o way_n of_o justice_n second_o if_o we_o do_v sanctify_v his_o name_n than_o he_o will_v sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n towards_o we_o for_o the_o first_o god_n will_v manifest_v that_o he_o be_v displease_v with_o such_o duty_n that_o thou_o do_v perform_v he_o will_v manifest_v it_o one_o way_n or_o other_o that_o he_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n and_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o such_o unholy_a thing_n as_o thou_o do_v tender_a up_o to_o he_o for_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o god_n shall_v accept_v of_o such_o unholy_a thing_n from_o man_n god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v like_a unto_o themselves_o as_o a_o man_n if_o he_o do_v entertain_v any_o as_o his_o familiar_a friend_n that_o be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a it_o be_v his_o disgrace_n and_o

one_o in_o his_o house_n that_o be_v wicked_a it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o he_o so_o god_n may_v employ_v the_o most_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o world_n in_o some_o outward_a service_n but_o if_o he_o shall_v accept_v of_o they_o in_o his_o worship_n it_o will_v be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o god_n that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v his_o own_o name_n he_o will_v manifest_v his_o displeasure_n at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o against_o such_o duty_n of_o worship_n you_o that_o perform_v worship_n in_o a_o formal_a manner_n and_o with_o unclean_a vile_a heart_n i_o say_v it_o stand_v upon_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n if_o he_o will_v manifest_v himself_o a_o holy_a god_n he_o must_v manifest_v some_o displeasure_n against_o that_o way_n of_o thy_o worship_v of_o he_o this_o one_o meditation_n one_o will_v think_v shall_v mighty_o sink_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o man_n that_o have_v a_o enlighten_v conscience_n to_o think_v thus_o it_o stand_v upon_o the_o

way_n or_o other_o appear_v to_o be_v against_o i_o in_o such_o duty_n that_o i_o tender_v up_o unto_o he_o now_o you_o will_v say_v how_o do_v god_n appear_v that_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o they_o he_o will_v appear_v in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o first_o by_o blast_v those_o that_o do_v worship_n he_o thus_o in_o a_o formal_a way_n it_o shall_v at_o first_o be_v secret_a but_o afterward_o it_o will_v appear_v more_o apparent_o and_o we_o see_v it_o by_o experience_n that_o such_o as_o have_v be_v professor_n of_o religion_n and_o worship_n god_n in_o hypocrisy_n and_o in_o formality_n they_o have_v be_v blast_v in_o their_o part_n and_o common_a gift_n the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n it_o be_v secret_a at_o first_o it_o strike_v they_o dead_a and_o though_o by_o fire_n yet_o if_o you_o read_v the_o story_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o their_o clothes_n be_v not_o burn_v and_o yet_o they_o be_v burn_v in_o their_o body_n so_o the_o lord_n sometime_o do_v blast_v man_n inward_o in_o their_o spirit_n in_o their_o soul_n in_o their_o part_n in_o their_o common_a gift_n he_o blast_v they_o i_o say_v inward_o though_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v outward_o yet_o at_o length_n it_o will_v appear_v before_o man_n that_o they_o be_v blast_v and_o in_o these_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o lord_n do_v come_v with_o spiritual_a judgement_n rather_o than_o with_o outward_a temporal_a judgement_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n those_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n the_o lord_n do_v appear_v by_o some_o external_a and_o visible_a way_n upon_o their_o body_n but_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o god_n come_v with_o more_o spiritual_a judgement_n upon_o man_n soul_n and_o those_o be_v the_o most_o terrible_a judgement_n we_o have_v a_o notable_a scripture_n for_o this_o in_o isa_n 29._o 13._o how_o god_n do_v blast_v those_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o holy_a duty_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n say_v forasmuch_o as_o this_o people_n draw_v near_o i_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o with_o their_o lip_n

great_a scholar_n be_v blast_v in_o their_o very_a part_n because_o they_o will_v worship_v god_n according_a to_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n in_o a_o formal_a way_n and_o so_o all_o hypocrite_n and_o

but_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o we_o find_v general_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n to_o be_v more_o spiritual_a upon_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n we_o find_v it_o by_o experience_n god_n do_v discover_v that_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o such_o as_o those_o be_v and_o therefore_o when_o you_o see_v any_o that_o have_v make_v profession_n of_o religion_n that_o have_v excellent_a part_n at_o first_o many_o common_a gift_n and_o now_o be_v as_o we_o say_v no_o body_n remember_v this_o text_n that_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o

be_v grace_n before_o what_o nourishment_n can_v a_o dead_a child_n take_v the_o very_a first_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v be_v nourishment_n here_o the_o word_n have_v power_n to_o convey_v life_n &_o then_o to_o nourish_v but_o we_o read_v of_o no_o such_o thing_n here_o but_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v here_o be_v present_o to_o feed_v to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o thou_o must_v have_v spiritual_a life_n there_o must_v come_v no_o dead_a soul_n to_o this_o ordinance_n but_o those_o who_o be_v quicken_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o must_v come_v for_o nourishment_n three_o the_o act_n here_o require_v do_v note_n that_o only_o those_o that_o be_v holy_a and_o godly_a can_v receive_v this_o sacrament_n we_o be_v require_v by_o the_o apostle_n examine_v ourselves_o to_o examine_v ourselves_o of_o what_o it_o must_v be_v of_o our_o godliness_n examine_v what_o work_n of_o god_n have_v be_v upon_o the_o soul_n how_o god_n have_v bring_v the_o soul_n to_o himself_o and_o what_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v there_o and_o how_o we_o have_v be_v bring_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n now_o if_o only_o those_o can_v receive_v worthy_o and_o be_v to_o come_v that_o first_o examine_v themselves_o then_o certain_o such_o only_a as_o be_v godly_a be_v to_o come_v for_o they_o only_o can_v perform_v those_o act_n that_o be_v require_v four_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o communion_n with_o the_o saint_n now_o what_o communion_n have_v light_a with_o darkness_n what_o fellowship_n have_v christ_n with_o belial_n if_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o communion_n of_o come_v to_o the_o table_n of_o god_n will_v god_n have_v enemy_n to_o come_v to_o his_o table_n you_o will_v invite_v no_o enemy_n to_o your_o table_n but_o your_o child_n and_o friend_n so_o they_o must_v be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o the_o friend_n of_o god_n those_o that_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n and_o those_o that_o be_v his_o child_n that_o must_v sit_v at_o his_o table_n therefore_o they_o must_v be_v holy_a now_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o that_o first_o thing_n that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n but_o such_o as_o have_v submit_v to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n before_o such_o as_o have_v grace_n and_o ability_n to_o examine_v themselves_o of_o their_o grace_n and_o such_o as_o be_v child_n and_o reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o so_o be_v fit_a to_o sit_v at_o the_o table_n of_o god_n and_o to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o he_o and_o with_o his_o son_n and_o with_o the_o saint_n for_o we_o be_v one_o body_n sacramental_o when_o we_o come_v to_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n all_o other_o therefore_o certain_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v from_o this_o sacrament_n but_o such_o 2_o the_o second_o thing_n will_v make_v it_o out_o more_o full_o and_o that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o be_v holy_a ourselves_o and_o so_o all_o ignorant_a profane_a and_o scandalous_a yea_o all_o that_o be_v mere_o civil_a that_o can_v make_v out_o any_o work_n of_o godliness_n upon_o their_o heart_n in_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n be_v exclude_v but_o 1_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o a_o holy_a communion_n and_o be_v clear_a one_o of_o that_o place_n in_o 1_o cor._n 10._o 16_o 17._o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v it_o be_v not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 17._o verse_n for_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n therefore_o all_o that_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n they_o must_v so_o come_v as_o they_o must_v be_v one_o body_n one_o spiritual_a corporation_n this_o very_a consideration_n that_o those_o with_o who_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n be_v one_o body_n with_o we_o it_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n in_o it_o for_o the_o help_a of_o we_o to_o sanctify_v

communion_n it_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v quest_n you_o will_v say_v must_v it_o be_v receive_v in_o a_o communion_n of_o saint_n what_o if_o wicked_a man_n do_v come_v there_o will_v that_o hinder_v we_o from_o sanctify_a god_n name_v in_o partake_v of_o the_o sacrament_n with_o they_o do_v not_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o church_n have_v always_o wicked_a man_n among_o they_o there_o be_v always_o tare_n grow_v up_o with_o the_o wheat_n if_o you_o read_v even_o in_o the_o corinthian_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v some_o in_o that_o church_n that_o be_v wicked_a yea_o and_o it_o be_v think_v that_o judas_n himself_o do_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n therefore_o what_o if_o wicked_a man_n be_v there_o do_v that_o hinder_v answ_n i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n there_o have_v be_v wicked_a man_n and_o it_o be_v like_a there_o will_v be_v wicked_a man_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v a_o right_a communion_n of_o saint_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n exercise_v to_o cast_v out_o those_o wicked_a man_n or_o at_o least_o to_o withdraw_v from_o they_o this_o be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o have_v communion_n with_o you_o if_o any_o of_o they_o do_v appear_v to_o be_v wicked_a you_o be_v bind_v in_o

tell_v the_o church_n to_o tell_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n when_o they_o meet_v together_o for_o so_o the_o word_n church_n do_v signify_v and_o we_o find_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 5._o

you_o can_v say_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o you_o if_o wicked_a man_n be_v there_o for_o you_o have_v not_o discharge_v your_o conscience_n and_o so_o you_o come_v to_o be_v defile_v and_o you_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o this_o ordinance_n because_o you_o have_v not_o do_v to_o the_o utternost_o of_o your_o duty_n for_o the_o cast_v out_o of_o those_o wicked_a man_n and_o mark_v in_o 2_o cor._n 5._o 7._o there_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o church_n bid_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v purge_v out_o the_o old_a leaven_n
say_v there_o be_v more_o in_o this_o sacrament_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n for_o sin_n than_o such_o a_o sight_n as_o that_o you_o will_v say_v if_o you_o shall_v have_v christ_n to_o be_v crucify_v again_o before_o your_o eye_n if_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o there_o behold_v he_o crucify_v and_o hear_v of_o he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o you_o will_v think_v if_o your_o heart_n do_v not_o break_v for_o sin_n then_o that_o they_o be_v desperate_o hard_a know_v every_o time_n that_o thou_o have_v come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n thou_o have_v come_v to_o see_v such_o a_o sight_n and_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o thy_o heart_n if_o it_o have_v not_o break_v at_o this_o sight_n as_o it_o will_v be_v if_o it_o shall_v not_o break_v at_o that_o sight_n we_o read_v in_o gal._n 3._o 1._o of_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v crucify_v before_o those_o that_o do_v hear_v the_o word_n and_o foolish_a galatian_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o obey_v the_o truth_n before_o who_o eye_n jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v evident_o set_v forth_o crucify_v among_o you_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o christ_n be_v crucify_v in_o galatia_n but_o that_o where_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v he_o be_v evident_o set_v forth_o and_o crucify_v among_o they_o but_o now_o my_o brethren_n the_o crucify_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o word_n be_v not_o such_o a_o real_a evident_a and_o sensible_a set_n forth_o of_o christ_n crucify_v as_o when_o he_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o work_v with_o more_o efficacy_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n than_o that_o other_o sight_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v be_v this_o because_o you_o do_v never_o find_v that_o god_n do_v set_v that_o apart_o as_o a_o ordinance_n a_o institution_n appoint_v to_o that_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o look_v upon_o that_o for_o the_o break_n of_o there_o heart_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o naturalness_n in_o it_o that_o if_o they_o do_v behold_v christ_n it_o may_v break_v there_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o ordinance_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n as_o this_o be_v now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o sacramental_a way_n in_o the_o use_n of_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o suffering_n and_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o soul_n there_o may_v be_v expect_v here_o a_o further_a blessing_n than_o in_o the_o other_o though_o it_o be_v true_a the_o other_o may_v work_v mighty_o upon_o the_o heart_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o great_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n a_o great_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o set_n out_o of_o his_o suffering_n it_o have_v a_o more_o special_a blessing_n that_o go_v along_o with_o it_o every_o ordinance_n have_v a_o promise_n and_o a_o more_o special_a blessing_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n so_o when_o you_o come_v here_o to_o behold_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o you_o can_v see_v christ_n natural_o crucify_v as_o upon_o the_o cross_n but_o you_o have_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o sacrament_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o solemn_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v a_o special_a blessing_n which_o go_v along_o with_o it_o therefore_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o break_v here_o there_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o great_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v behold_v jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o our_o heart_n not_o break_v there_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o special_a reason_n why_o those_o be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o receive_v unworthy_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v then_o alive_a and_o have_v be_v before_o the_o cross_n and_o there_o have_v see_v how_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v shed_v for_o sin_n and_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v affect_v with_o it_o but_o shall_v have_v account_v it_o as_o a_o common_a thing_n this_o man_n in_o some_o regard_n may_v have_v be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o his_o death_n that_o be_v to_o have_v join_v and_o consent_v with_o those_o that_o 〈◊〉_d crucify_v he_o for_o if_o a_o man_n see_v another_o commit_v a_o sin_n if_o he_o 〈◊〉_d affect_v with_o that_o sin_n and_o it_o do_v not_o

to_o cast_v out_o all_o leaven_n and_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n say_v that_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v three_o thing_n in_o the_o cast_n out_o of_o their_o leaven_n 1._o they_o make_v diligent_a search_n for_o leaven_n they_o light_v candle_n to_o look_v into_o every_o corner_n lest_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o bit_n of_o leaven_n leave_v in_o the_o house_n 2._o

thou_o shall_v make_v a_o diligent_a search_n what_o sin_n there_o be_v in_o thy_o heart_n in_o any_o of_o the_o faculty_n of_o thy_o soul_n what_o sin_n there_o be_v in_o thy_o thought_n in_o thy_o

will_v have_v vain_a thought_n sometime_o but_o yet_o as_o one_o compare_v the_o vain_a thought_n of_o man_n in_o paryer_n like_v to_o a_o spaniel_n that_o go_v out_o with_o a_o man_n he_o walk_v
