B08365 A dialogue between a pastor and parishioner, touching the Lord's Supper. Wherein the most material doubts and scruples about receiving that holy sacrament, are removed, and the way thereto discovered to be both plain and pleasant.

With some short prayers fitted for that occasion, and a morning and evening prayer for the use of private families / by Michael Altham, Vicar of Latton in Essex.

whereunto_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o lay_v before_o you_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o st._n paul_n in_o this_o text_n and_o that_o by_o the_o resolution_n of_o these_o two_o inquiry_n qu._n 1._o

by_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o ans_fw-fr for_o answer_v whereunto_o let_v i_o premise_v that_o the_o worthiness_n here_o speak_v of_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o perfection_n or_o in_o a_o absolute_a and_o unsinning_a obedience_n to_o all_o the_o law_n of_o god._n for_o if_o we_o be_v indeed_o thus_o perfect_a we_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n or_o at_o least_o not_o so_o much_o need_v of_o this_o sacrament_n since_o the_o first_o adam_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n none_o save_v only_o the_o second_o adam_n the_o lord_n christ_n jesus_n can_v ever_o just_o glory_n in_o be_v thus_o qualify_v notwithstanding_o the_o vain_a pretension_n of_o some_o enthusiastical_a catharist_n this_o certain_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o attainable_a in_o this_o life_n for_o all_o

every_o individual_a it_o be_v plain_a and_o evident_a that_o perfection_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o present_a state_n of_o mankind_n and_o if_o so_o then_o must_v we_o conclude_v that_o the_o great_a and_o wise_a god_n and_o the_o holy_a and_o bless_a jesus_n have_v institute_v this_o feast_n in_o vain_a and_o give_v out_o a_o command_n to_o no_o purpose_n a_o table_n indeed_o may_v be_v

this_o therefore_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n and_o as_o the_o worthiness_n here_o speak_v of_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o perfection_n i._n e._n in_o a_o

fail_n not_o every_o weakness_n nor_o every_o sin_n that_o present_o render_v man_n unworthy_a to_o be_v guest_n at_o god_n table_n for_o if_o so_o than_o all_o mankind_n will_v be_v exclude_v because_o all_o have_v sin_v as_o appeareth_z from_o the_o text_n already_o quote_v and_o consequent_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v as_o empty_a and_o this_o great_a feast_n as_o much_o

as_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n purposely_o to_o save_v sinner_n so_o do_v he_o institute_v his_o holy_a supper_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o who_o be_v liable_a to_o sin_n and_o weak_a in_o the_o faith_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v fortify_v against_o the_o one_o and_o strengthen_v in_o the_o other_o for_o any_o one_o to_o say_v then_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o
