for_o every_o one_o that_o will_v approach_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n to_o labour_v for_o knowledge_n and_o to_o use_v all_o holy_a help_n and_o mean_n whereby_o they_o may_v attain_v unto_o it_o

as_o knowledge_n do_v for_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v require_v of_o the_o worthy_a receiver_n must_v take_v hold_v upon_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o of_o his_o death_n obedience_n and_o resurrection_n whereby_o he_o come_v to_o have_v assurance_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v he_o and_o he_o receive_v into_o favour_n but_o beside_o this_o there_o be_v another_o degree_n of_o faith_n require_v in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o that_o be_v as_o christ_n jesus_n have_v and_o do_v most_o true_o offer_v himself_o unto_o the_o true_a believer_n in_o this_o sacrament_n so_o the_o worthy_a receiver_n must_v be_v assure_v thereof_o and_o according_o take_v these_o outward_a sign_n as_o seal_n and_o pledge_n whereby_o his_o faith_n become_v

that_o worthy_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n for_o mark_v i_o pray_v you_o whereas_o in_o this_o sacrament_n we_o be_v couple_v with_o christ_n and_o be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o of_o necessity_n now_o we_o must_v become_v new_a creature_n and_o be_v change_v inasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v now_o knit_v unto_o christ_n and_o we_o must_v now_o part_n with_o the_o practice_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o
