institution_n and_o end_n thereof_o the_o word_n of_o god_n indeed_o be_v to_o be_v preach_v as_o well_o to_o the_o ungodly_a and_o impenitent_a that_o they_o may_v be_v convene_v as_o to_o the_o godly_a and_o repent_v that_o they_o may_v be_v confirm_v but_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v by_o god_n institute_v not_o for_o begin_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o for_o nourish_v and_o increase_a grace_n and_o therefore_o none_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n who_o by_o his_o life_n testify_v that_o he_o be_v impenitent_a and_o not_o as_o yet_o

but_o also_o shall_v begin_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o sinner_n and_o give_v regeneration_n itself_o as_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n thereof_o very_o even_o the_o most_o wicked_a most_o

by_o the_o glean_n of_o these_o follow_a testimony_n 16._o the_o scottish_a confession_n art_n 23._o but_o we_o confess_v that_o the_o lord_n supper_n belong_v only_o to_o those_o of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n who_o can_v try_v and_o examine_v themselves_o as_o well_o in_o faith_n as_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o faith_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n whoso_o abide_v without_o faith_n and_o in_o variance_n with_o their_o brethren_n do_v at_o that_o holy_a table_n eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o pastor_n in_o our_o church_n do_v enter_v on_o a_o public_a and_o particular_a examination_n both_o of_o the_o knowledge_n conversation_n and_o life_n of_o those_o who_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n the_o belgic_a confession_n

they_o who_o he_o have_v already_o regenerate_v 17._o the_o saxon_a confession_n art_n 15._o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o lord_n will_v that_o every_o receiver_n be_v particular_o confirm_v by_o

by_o this_o receive_n he_o show_v that_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o his_o member_n and_o wash_v with_o his_o blood_n and_o by_o and_o by_o thus_o therefore_o we_o instruct_v the_o church_n that_o at_o behoove_v they_o that_o come_v to_o the_o supper_n to_o bring_v with_o they_o repentance_n or_o conversion_n and_o faith_n be_v now_o kindle_v in_o the_o mediation_n of_o the_o death_n and_o

and_o put_v good_a motion_n into_o the_o heart_n and_o after_o but_o if_o any_o come_v unworthy_o to_o the_o sacrament_n he_o be_v not_o make_v by_o they_o worthy_a or_o clean_o but_o do_v only_o

the_o lord_n supper_n which_o by_o their_o fruit_n and_o manner_n do_v prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v ungodly_a or_o impenitent_a and_o stranger_n or_o alien_n from_o all_o communion_n with_o christ_n nor_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o grace_n seal_v to_o any_o other_o then_o to_o those_o to_o who_o these_o promise_n do_v belong_v for_o otherwise_o the_o seal_n annex_v shall_v contradict_v and_o
