as_o the_o pharisee_n examine_v the_o publican_n lest_o thou_o have_v peter_n check_n when_o he_o examine_v what_o john_n shall_v do_v christ_n say_v what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o follow_v thou_o i_o thou_o be_v 11_o a_o private_a man_n and_o have_v a_o private_a examination_n therefore_o let_v thy_o question_n be_v what_o have_v i_o do_v and_o make_v thy_o anatomy_n of_o thy_o 22._o self_n see_v belove_v we_o may_v not_o believe_v ourselves_o before_o we_o have_v examine_v ourselves_o for_o we_o be_v falshearted_a and_o the_o notable_a cozener_n that_o deceive_v most_o for_o one_o time_n that_o he_o deceive_v other_o ten_o time_n he_o deceive_v himself_o because_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o wily_a servant_n and_o will_v lie_v like_o gehezi_n to_o his_o master_n &_o face_v he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v when_o it_o come_v from_o sin_n therefore_o as_o elisha_n examine_v his_o servant_n so_o the_o soul_n must_v examine_v 25_o her_o servant_n that_o be_v man_n must_v be_v jealous_a of_o himself_o and_o take_v himself_o for_o a_o liar_n for_o a_o flatterer_n for_o a_o dissembler_n until_o he_o be_v 26_o thorough_o acquaint_v with_o himself_o for_o no_o man_n be_v so_o often_o bebeguil_v as_o by_o himself_o by_o trust_v his_o double_a heart_n and_o take_v his_o own_o word_n without_o further_a trial_n if_o paul_n have_v bid_v we_o examine_v other_o we_o will_v have_v sift_v they_o like_o satan_n satan_n have_v desire_v 31_o to_o sift_v thou_o say_v christ_n to_o peter_n so_o we_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o sift_v other_o even_o peter_n which_o be_v sift_v of_o satan_n long_v to_o sist_z john_n and_o know_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v before_o he_o hearken_v to_o his_o own_o charge_n therefore_o the_o help_n of_o examination_n be_v a_o needful_a preservative_n although_o we_o be_v as_o sound_v as_o peter_n they_o which_o be_v suspect_v of_o a_o crime_n do_v not_o examine_v themselves_o but_o be_v examine_v of_o other_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v partial_a but_o a_o christian_a 11._o must_v examine_v himself_o of_o his_o crime_n and_o be_v his_o own_o judge_n his_o own_o accuser_n and_o his_o own_o condemner_n for_o no_o man_n know_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o man_n which_o will_v condemn_v he_o if_o he_o be_v guilty_a and_o tell_v he_o all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v and_o with_o mind_n he_o do_v it_o and_o with_o what_o mind_n he_o do_v it_o and_o what_o he_o deserve_v for_o it_o this_o be_v the_o private_a arraignment_n or_o close_a session_n when_o conscience_n sit_v in_o her_o chair_n to_o examine_v and_o accuse_v and_o judge_n and_o condemn_v herself_o because_o she_o will_v not_o be_v condemn_v of_o god._n thus_o holy_a man_n have_v keep_v their_o session_n at_o home_n and_o make_v their_o heart_n the_o foreman_n of_o the_o jury_n and_o examine_v themselves_o as_o we_o examine_v other_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n stand_v at_o the_o door_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o examine_v every_o thought_n before_o it_o go_v in_o and_o at_o the_o door_n of_o their_o lip_n to_o examine_v every_o word_n before_o it_o go_v out_o whereby_o they_o escape_v a_o thousand_o sin_n which_o we_o commit_v as_o though_o we_o have_v no_o other_o work_n so_o thou_o shall_v sit_v in_o judgement_n of_o thyself_o and_o call_v thy_o thought_n and_o speech_n and_o action_n to_o give_v in_o evidence_n against_o thou_o whether_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n or_o a_o infidel_n a_o son_n or_o a_o bastard_n a_o servant_n or_o a_o rebel_n a_o protestant_n or_o a_o hypocrite_n if_o thou_o find_v not_o faith_n nor_o fear_n nor_o love_n nor_o zeal_n when_o thou_o examine_v thyself_o let_v no_o man_n make_v thou_o believe_v that_o thou_o be_v holy_a that_o thou_o be_v sanctify_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n that_o thou_o be_v a_o believer_n that_o thou_o be_v a_o gospeller_n because_o thou_o be_v worse_o than_o thou_o seem_v thyself_o for_o every_o man_n be_v partial_a to_o himself_o when_o he_o be_v most_o humble_a therefore_o if_o my_o heart_n tell_v i_o that_o i_o do_v love_n god_n who_o shall_v i_o believe_v before_o myself_o as_o solomon_n say_v no_o man_n can_v 11._o search_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n so_o paul_n say_v no_o man_n know_v the_o spirit_n of_o any_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o man_n that_o be_v no_o man_n feel_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n so_o well_o as_o himself_o and_o yet_o himself_o although_o he_o have_v live_v with_o it_o ever_o since_o he_o be_v bear_v do_v not_o know_v his_o own_o heart_n unless_o he_o examine_v it_o narrow_o no_o more_o than_o he_o know_v his_o own_o bone_n or_o his_o vein_n or_o his_o sinew_n or_o his_o artery_n or_o his_o muscle_n how_o many_o be_v in_o his_o body_n or_o where_o they_o lie_v or_o what_o they_o do_v this_o seem_v strange_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o know_v his_o own_o heart_n yet_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o best_a of_o all_o do_v not_o know_v his_o own_o heart_n though_o he_o have_v dwell_v with_o it_o from_o his_o mother_n womb_n for_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n you_o know_v not_o of_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v that_o 11._o be_v you_o think_v better_o of_o yourselves_o than_o you_o be_v and_o know_v not_o what_o the_o clock_n strike_v within_o there_o be_v a_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n and_o there_o be_v a_o knowledge_n without_o zeal_n there_o be_v a_o faith_n without_o obedience_n and_o there_o be_v a_o obedience_n without_o faith_n there_o be_v a_o love_n without_o fear_n and_o there_o be_v a_o fear_n without_o love_n and_o both_o be_v hypocrite_n therefore_o as_o dalilah_n 6_o search_v where_o sampson_n strength_n lay_v so_o let_v every_o man_n search_v where_o his_o weakness_n lie_v and_o always_o be_v fill_v the_o empty_a gap_n now_o this_o examination_n must_v go_v before_o we_o to_o the_o sacrament_n every_o meat_n work_v according_a as_o it_o be_v digest_v and_o this_o meat_n work_v according_a as_o it_o be_v receive_v therefore_o when_o christ_n have_v teach_v what_o we_o shall_v do_v in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n now_o paul_n show_v what_o we_o shall_v do_v before_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o but_o some_o will_v come_v before_o they_o examine_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n have_v authority_n to_o put_v by_o lame_a and_o blind_a sacrifice_n so_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v power_n to_o put_v by_o lame_a and_o blind_a receiver_n and_o he_o which_o do_v not_o so_o give_v a_o sword_n into_o their_o hand_n to_o kill_v themselves_o if_o the_o pastor_n will_v use_v this_o examination_n due_o it_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o make_v every_o one_o examine_v himself_o lest_o he_o be_v put_v by_o like_o

that_o be_v give_v a_o reason_n of_o their_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v thrust_v from_o this_o table_n there_o be_v a_o hear_v and_o a_o preparative_n before_o hear_v there_o 17._o be_v a_o pray_v and_o

idle_o the_o hearer_n hear_v unfruitful_o like_o those_o which_o do_v eat_v before_o hunger_n and_o drink_v before_o thirst_n this_o preparative_n before_o hear_v and_o pray_v and_o receive_v do_v signify_v that_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o physic_n in_o these_o three_o for_o preparative_n be_v minister_v always_o before_o physic_n and_o as_o the_o preparative_a which_o go_v before_o make_v

the_o preparative_n before_o we_o receive_v be_v to_o examine_v as_o jobn_n be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n so_o examination_n be_v the_o fore_a runner_n 5._o of_o the_o sacrament_n like_o the_o

here_o be_v fulfil_v out_o of_o thy_o own_o mouth_n i_o will_v condemn_v thou_o but_o we_o will_v not_o carry_v the_o matter_n so_o because_o a_o judge_n must_v have_v two_o ear_n therefore_o now_o

this_o a_o ordinary_a thing_n for_o if_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v turn_v into_o flesh_n and_o blood_n than_o miracle_n be_v as_o common_a as_o sacrament_n and_o so_o because_o they_o have_v

signify_v that_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v break_v now_o as_o the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n do_v signify_v the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n so_o the_o bread_n must_v needs_o signify_v his_o body_n but_o as_o his_o body_n be_v not_o break_v indeed_o when_o the_o bread_n be_v break_v so_o the_o bread_n can_v not_o be_v his_o body_n indeed_o for_o then_o his_o body_n shall_v have_v be_v break_v

for_o now_o be_v the_o action_n and_o sum_n of_o all_o salvation_n in_o handle_v if_o they_o do_v prepare_v themselves_o so_o before_o they_o do_v receive_v the_o figure_n of_o this_o sacrament_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v prepare_v before_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n itself_o therefore_o as_o josiah_n command_v the_o levite_n to_o prepare_v the_o 35._o people_n so_o paul_n advise_v the_o

first_o that_o paul_n scripture_n will_v have_v every_o layman_n skilful_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o examine_v himself_o by_o it_o for_o this_o admonition_n be_v not_o to_o they_o which_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n but_o to_o all_o which_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o rule_n by_o which_o we_o must_v examine_v ourselves_o be_v the_o law_n by_o which_o we_o

one_o for_o the_o other_o therefore_o before_o paul_n examine_v you_o have_v need_v to_o learn_v christ_n search_n search_v 39_o the_o scripture_n and_o they_o will_v lighten_v you_o to_o search_v

he_o will_v put_v forth_o another_o if_o that_o be_v spy_v he_o will_v move_v another_o like_o one_o which_o put_v divers_a key_n into_o a_o lock_n until_o it_o open_v so_o he_o which_o examine_v 1_o must_v try_v and_o try_v prove_v and_o prove_v search_n and_o search_v for_o the_o angel_n of_o darkness_n be_v like_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o we_o have_v no_o way_n to_o discover_v he_o but_o

for_o it_o signify_v to_o put_v ourselves_o unto_o the_o touchstone_n as_o if_o we_o will_v try_v gold_n from_o coper_n therefore_o one_o say_v that_o examination_n be_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n
