A56679	Mensa mystica; or A discourse concerning the sacrament of the Lords Supper In which the ends of its institution are so manifested; our addresses to it so directed; our behaviour there, and afterward, so composed, that we may not lose the benefits which are to be received by it. By Simon Patrick, D.D. minsiter of Gods Word at Batersea in Surrey.	Patrick, Simon, 1626-1707.	1667 (1667)	Wing P822A; ESTC R215619	205,852	511

our_o company_n so_o handsome_o do_v our_o deceitful_a heart_n teach_v we_o to_o cover_v our_o own_o nakedness_n by_o call_v all_o that_o superstition_n which_o create_v any_o trouble_n to_o we_o

a_o divine_a ordinance_n form_v in_o heaven_n the_o very_a truth_n be_v man_n lend_v to_o god_n and_o their_o devotion_n only_o such_o office_n as_o flatter_v their_o passion_n there_o be_v much_o of_o pleasure_n in_o have_v the_o ear_n tickle_v with_o a_o sermon_n and_o it_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n among_o our_o neighbour_n to_o keep_v day_n of_o fast_v and_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o these_o be_v accept_v with_o a_o great_a applause_n than_o the_o sad_a meditation_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o frequent_a remembrance_n of_o the_o wound_n of_o a_o crucify_a saviour_n which_o prick_v too_o deep_a and_o make_v too_o wide_a gash_n in_o our_o heart_n though_o this_o be_v more_o express_o command_v than_o many_o other_o thing_n that_o man_n perform_v with_o a_o great_a noise_n and_o spend_v much_o zealous_a breath_n upon_o yet_o they_o cast_v but_o a_o cold_a and_o heavy_a aspect_n on_o it_o because_o it_o humour_v not_o their_o ease_n and_o speak_v not_o kind_o to_o their_o covetousness_n but_o make_v too_o busy_a and_o narrow_a a_o search_n into_o their_o soul_n and_o real_o i_o doubt_v that_o man_n endeavour_n to_o be_v remove_v as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v from_o rome_n have_v do_v our_o religion_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o harm_n they_o still_o retain_v the_o custom_n of_o celebrate_v every_o day_n but_o the_o priest_n do_v it_o alone_o and_o they_o

because_o they_o speak_v of_o justification_n different_o from_o we_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o live_v as_o though_o good_a work_n be_v a_o piece_n of_o popery_n and_o as_o if_o alms-deed_n and_o

long_o before_o god_n take_v down_o their_o plume_n and_o make_v it_o manifest_a that_o it_o be_v not_o superstition_n which_o prick_v forward_o the_o first_o christian_n to_o such_o frequent_a

to_o procure_v salvation_n they_o will_v purchase_v heaven_n and_o give_v something_o to_o attain_v it_o but_o we_o will_v give_v christ_n the_o honour_n of_o do_v all_o and_o only_o cast_v
