before_o you_o be_v to_o come_v to_o a_o communion_n and_o when_o you_o come_v to_o seek_v communion_n with_o he_o in_o a_o sermon_n let_v that_o be_v your_o great_a care_n but_o take_v heed_n you_o do_v not_o rest_v upon_o your_o own_o preparation_n when_o you_o have_v prepare_v for_o if_o you_o advance_v they_o into_o the_o throne_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o rest_n upon_o they_o when_o you_o shall_v rest_v only_o upon_o he_o true_o it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v all_o your_o preparation_n miscarry_v and_o in_o stead_n of_o fruit_n you_o will_v have_v dry_a breast_n and_o a_o miscarry_a

have_v keep_v a_o secret_a day_n of_o humiliation_n if_o there_o be_v no_o public_a opportunity_n before_o a_o communion_n have_v not_o you_o find_v that_o sometime_o you_o have_v have_v even_o then_o
