the_o other_o so_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o think_v there_o be_v not_o but_o go_v to_o it_o as_o constant_o and_o with_o just_a the_o same_o devotion_n as_o they_o go_v to_o their_o prayer_n they_o

a_o habitual_a preparation_n and_o christian_a devotion_n and_o reverence_n with_o it_o be_v always_o a_o actual_a one_o and_o with_o these_o two_o no_o man_n can_v be_v unfit_a to_o communicate_v in_o it_o for_o what_o those_o good_a man_n do_v we_o may_v do_v also_o will_v we_o endeavour_v to_o imitate_v and_o come_v up_o to_o they_o in_o their_o life_n we_o need_v fear_v offend_v god_n in_o this_o service_n no_o more_o than_o they_o do_v it_o be_v a_o very_a little_a matter_n that_o will_v fit_v a_o good_a man_n for_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o little_a thing_n that_o can_v cause_v he_o to_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o but_o still_o i_o speak_v not_o this_o to_o supersede_n or_o lessen_v any_o man_n care_n to_o fit_v himself_o for_o this_o service_n as_o

he_o can_v never_o be_v too_o well_o prepare_v and_o therefore_o i_o enter_v this_o caution_n that_o no_o man_n think_v the_o contrary_a of_o i_o from_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o be_o go_v to_o say_v on_o this_o argument_n i_o be_o concern_v to_o encounter_v the_o contrary_a extreme_a and_o therefore_o while_o i_o go_v to_o show_v that_o with_o a_o ordinary_a care_n a_o man_n may_v render_v himself_o fit_a to_o communicate_v i_o desire_v that_o no_o man_n do_v present_o think_v that_o he_o may_v be_v fit_a without_o any_o endeavour_n or_o care_n at_o all_o sect_n ii_o and_o now_o have_v premise_v this_o which_o i_o must_v beg_v man_n remember_n of_o as_o we_o go_v along_o i_o proceed_v direct_o to_o make_v good_a the_o assertion_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v no_o such_o mighty_a difficult_a a_o matter_n to_o render_v a_o man_n self_n fit_a for_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o so_o to_o remove_v and_o get_v above_o the_o unworthiness_n that_o he_o seem_v so_o afraid_a of_o which_o i_o have_v propose_v to_o do_v by_o three_o plain_a argument_n the_o first_o be_v by_o consider_v what_o the_o apostle_n here_o prescribe_v to_o these_o corinthian_n to_o remedy_n and_o prevent_v that_o their_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o which_o be_v blame_v they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o imagine_v any_o man_n more_o unfit_a to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n than_o they_o be_v or_o to_o receive_v it_o more_o unworthy_o than_o they_o do_v and_o therefore_o the_o same_o measure_n that_o he_o observe_v with_o they_o will_v be_v proper_a for_o we_o also_o in_o our_o present_a case_n and_o what_o be_v think_v sufficient_a by_o he_o to_o redress_v this_o unworthiness_n in_o they_o may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n now_o all_o that_o he_o say_v to_o this_o purpose_n be_v contain_v in_o v_o 28._o and_o 31._o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o that_o cup._n and_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v of_o the_o lord_n this_o be_v all_o that_o he_o prescribe_v in_o this_o case_n for_o what_o he_o say_v in_o v_o 33._o and_o 34._o do_v concern_v the_o manner_n of_o eat_v in_o their_o love-feast_n and_o not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o be_v plain_a to_o any_o that_o read_v they_o so_o that_o in_o order_n to_o our_o satisfaction_n in_o this_o matter_n we_o shall_v need_v only_o to_o consider_v what_o the_o sum_n and_o import_v of_o those_o two_o verse_n be_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o latter_a both_o because_o it_o be_v the_o soon_o dispatch_v and_o because_o i_o do_v not_o well_o know_v whether_o it_o so_o true_o intend_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v by_o they_o in_o order_n to_o fit_v themselves_o to_o

of_o this_o nature_n than_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v only_o this_o let_v we_o judge_v ourselves_o for_o our_o error_n and_o fail_n that_o we_o may_v anticipate_v and_o prevent_v god_n judge_v of_o we_o now_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o respect_v and_o enjoin_v only_o the_o matter_n of_o christian_a repentance_n by_o which_o we_o reconcile_v ourselves_o to_o god_n assoil_v ourselves_o of_o

supposition_n and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v think_v to_o conceal_v any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v prescribe_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o this_o purpose_n for_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o this_o as_o i_o say_v
sense_n the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n themselves_o and_o by_o the_o grace_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o to_o convey_v to_o we_o all_o those_o effect_n and_o benefit_n which_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n and_o our_o feed_n upon_o they_o can_v do_v then_o certain_o we_o can_v but_o pay_v all_o possible_a adoration_n to_o christ_n when_o we_o partake_v of_o they_o nor_o partake_v of_o they_o without_o the_o profound_a reverence_n that_o our_o soul_n be_v capable_a off_o and_o as_o i_o may_v well_o think_v that_o those_o who_o can_v be_v rude_a irreverent_a and_o profane_a when_o they_o partake_v of_o these_o holy_a symbol_n will_v be_v so_o to_o christ_n be_v he_o visible_o and_o corporal_o present_a so_o i_o may_v safe_o say_v that_o upon_o the_o same_o

any_o way_n defective_a and_o upon_o every_o good_a heart_n the_o effect_n must_v be_v according_a it_o can_v scarce_o fail_v of_o run_v our_o devotion_n into_o rapture_n and_o our_o reverence_n into_o ecstasy_n and_o transport_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o great_a god_n shall_v put_v such_o a_o honour_n upon_o poor_a creature_n not_o only_o entertain_v we_o at_o his_o own_o table_n but_o give_v we_o his_o own_o son_n body_n and_o blood_n and_o all_o the_o bless_a effect_n and_o benefit_n of_o they_o to_o feed_v upon_o lord_n what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v so_o mindful_a of_o

and_o i_o must_v confess_v to_o i_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o great_a wonder_n that_o any_o christian_n shall_v look_v upon_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n otherwise_o than_o a_o necessary_a stand_a duty_n

tremendous_a punishment_n in_o hell_n yea_o there_o be_v that_o plain_a in_o the_o context_n which_o be_v evident_o against_o that_o sense_n of_o it_o for_o when_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v of_o damnation_n here_o he_o present_o instance_v in_o temporal_a infliction_n be_v sick_a and_o weak_a and_o fall_a asleep_a all_o which_o he_o not_o only_o call_v be_v chastened_a in_o this_o world_n but_o be_v chastened_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n and_o then_o consonant_o to_o this_o the_o eat_n and_o drink_v this_o damnation_n to_o a_o man_n self_n signify_v no_o more_o than_o expose_v a_o man_n self_n and_o become_v obnoxious_a to_o these_o punishment_n and_o chastening_n of_o the_o lord_n these_o thing_n i_o think_v be_v plain_a sufficient_a to_o make_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o my_o argument_n and_o in_o consequence_n of_o that_o to_o show_v how_o much_o wide_a of_o the_o apostle_n mean_v here_o those_o man_n argue_v that_o talk_v so_o dreadful_o of_o everlasting_a damnation_n be_v eminent_o due_a to_o every_o failure_n in_o man_n receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o that_o they_o stand_v accountable_a to_o god_n for_o a_o great_a sin_n and_o a_o high_a profanation_n of_o religion_n in_o this_o than_o they_o do_v by_o their_o miscarriage_n in_o other_o duty_n and_o service_n of_o it_o sect_n iii_o well_o but_o because_o it_o may_v yet_o be_v object_v against_o the_o purpose_n of_o this_o argument_n that_o whatever_o the_o minute_n and_o prime_a signification_n be_v yet_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o can_v but_o be_v account_v a_o great_a sin_n high_o affrontive_a to_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o therefore_o a_o high_a provocation_n of_o god_n and_o a_o fault_n that_o he_o may_v most_o just_o punish_v with_o eternal_a damnation_n therefore_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n that_o i_o propose_v on_o this_o argument_n that_o whatever_o the_o meaning_n of_o damnation_n be_v in_o this_o place_n yet_o man_n do_v not_o deal_v fair_o in_o urge_v it_o against_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n or_o stay_v from_o it_o upon_o that_o reason_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v good_a upon_o these_o two_o reason_n among_o other_o first_o because_o if_o it_o shall_v mean_v eternal_a damnation_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o threaten_v to_o every_o degree_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o but_o only_o to_o that_o gross_a and_o monstrous_a do_v this_o that_o the_o corinthian_n be_v guilty_a of_o and_o second_o because_o this_o damnation_n do_v not_o restrain_v man_n from_o other_o sin_n which_o they_o must_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v as_o damn_v as_o this_o 1._o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o need_v but_o just_a name_n because_o i_o have_v insist_v upon_o it_o large_o already_o here_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v two_o short_a consideration_n further_o relative_a to_o this_o matter_n first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fair_a deal_n with_o scripture_n to_o extend_v the_o signification_n of_o it_o beyond_o the_o proper_a intendment_n and_o meaning_n or_o to_o take_v a_o liberty_n of_o fright_v people_n with_o the_o danger_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o upon_o every_o failure_n when_o the_o apostle_n use_v that_o phrase_n only_o in_o the_o case_n of_o such_o a_o prodigious_a profanation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o the_o corinthian_n be_v now_o guilty_a of_o i_o have_v already_o say_v their_o miscarriage_n may_v well_o be_v count_v eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o indeed_o but_o therefore_o to_o infer_v that_o every_o failure_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v so_o reverent_o so_o fit_o and_o so_o becoming_o as_o man_n shall_v be_v present_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o in_o proportion_n to_o they_o be_v put_v our_o own_o sense_n upon_o scripture_n and_o judge_v the_o thing_n of_o religion_n by_o our_o own_o measure_n only_o and_o second_o i_o add_v that_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a as_o well_o as_o uncharitable_a to_o affright_v man_n with_o danger_n of_o the_o same_o punishment_n when_o they_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o the_o same_o sin_n it_o be_v god_n prerogative_n to_o apportion_n punishment_n unto_o sin_n and_o not_o we_o and_o as_o much_o our_o duty_n as_o it_o be_v our_o interest_n to_o make_v a_o difference_n there_o where_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o divine_a mercy_n do_v it_o be_v great_o for_o our_o comfort_n and_o the_o ease_n of_o our_o guilty_a mind_n that_o we_o have_v a_o god_n to_o serve_v who_o transact_v with_o we_o by_o the_o measure_n of_o a_o great_a mercy_n and_o a_o infinite_a goodness_n that_o

this_o be_v certain_o a_o mighty_a injury_n and_o disservice_n to_o we_o and_o yet_o this_o in_o their_o proportion_n they_o do_v that_o alarm_n and_o frighten_v man_n with_o danger_n of_o damnation_n upon_o every_o little_a failure_n in_o this_o matter_n though_o never_o so_o short_a of_o that_o to_o which_o it_o be_v only_o threaten_v i_o have_v show_v you_o it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a thing_n for_o any_o christian_n to_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o sin_n relate_v to_o in_o the_o text_n and_o i_o very_o believe_v it_o and_o therefore_o why_o they_o that_o be_v real_o so_o far_o from_o it_o yea_o who_o tremble_v at_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o amuse_v and_o perplex_v with_o apprehension_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o it_o i_o know_v not_o i_o

will_v draw_v upon_o themselves_o the_o same_o imputation_n if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o temper_n and_o practice_n if_o the_o fear_n of_o damnation_n therefore_o influence_n you_o in_o this_o

so_o well_o as_o they_o shall_v and_o argue_v their_o fear_n upon_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o text_n to_o these_o i_o say_v the_o former_a consideration_n will_v be_v sufficient_a since_o it_o be_v

i_o advance_v now_o to_o the_o four_o consideration_n which_o i_o propose_v for_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o present_a collection_n viz._n that_o whatever_o sin_n or_o guilt_n there_o be_v in_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o there_o be_v the_o same_o yea_o there_o be_v great_a in_o not_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o all_o the_o truth_n and_o reasonableness_n of_o this_o rely_v upon_o a_o reason_n that_o i_o have_v make_v good_a already_o and_o that_o be_v that_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v a_o necessary_a indispensible_a duty_n tie_v immediate_o upon_o all_o christian_n by_o the_o command_n of_o their_o lord_n and_o that_o upon_o a_o reason_n which_o will_v ever_o have_v effect_n upon_o all_o those_o that_o have_v any_o love_n and_o respect_n to_o he_o yea_o which_o will_v still_o improve_v and_o in_o every_o age_n grow_v strong_a and_o strong_a i_o shall_v not_o and_o i_o hope_v i_o need_v not_o resume_v this_o argument_n because_o i_o have_v discharge_v it_o pretty_a well_o already_o and_o therefore_o shall_v little_o more_o than_o give_v in_o the_o head_n of_o what_o have_v be_v more_o full_o represent_v 1._o first_o then_o i_o have_v

to_o be_v even_o moral_o and_o perpetual_o oblige_v 1._o i_o think_v i_o may_v say_v moral_o for_o the_o pious_a grateful_a devout_a and_o joyful_a remembrance_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o of_o his_o

how_o they_o can_v hope_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o neglect_v to_o remember_v it_o and_o to_o remember_v it_o by_o that_o which_o himself_o have_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o solemn_a

what_o be_v moral_o good_a be_v unalterable_o and_o eternal_o oblige_v but_o i_o speak_v it_o upon_o a_o particular_a respect_n to_o the_o reason_n of_o its_o institution_n which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o wear_v out_o that_o it_o will_v improve_v upon_o our_o hand_n and_o grow_v strong_a in_o every_o succeed_a period_n of_o the_o church_n than_o other_o there_o will_v always_o be_v the_o same_o

the_o reason_n of_o this_o service_n will_v in_o every_o age_n continue_v the_o same_o but_o there_o be_v another_o consideration_n which_o will_v make_v it_o to_o improve_v and_o grow_v strong_a and_o strong_a for_o time_n be_v a_o grand_a consumer_n and_o waster_n of_o thing_n and_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o great_a kindness_n and_o blessing_n in_o a_o long_a tract_n of_o time_n be_v apt_a to_o decay_v and_o wear_v off_o of_o man_n mind_n so_o that_o the_o further_a that_o man_n live_v off_o from_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n passion_n the_o more_o danger_n they_o be_v in_o of_o

and_o we_o therefore_o that_o live_v at_o this_o distance_n of_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n from_o it_o have_v need_n to_o be_v more_o observant_a of_o this_o institution_n to_o refresh_v our_o

these_o all_o which_o combine_v to_o render_v this_o precept_n more_o effectual_a and_o oblige_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a than_o the_o former_a i_o will_v little_o more_o than_o just_a name_n some_o of_o they_o first_o this_o be_v the_o last_o institution_n of_o our_o die_a lord_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o give_v we_o in_o charge_n just_o when_o he_o be_v go_v to_o suffer_v and_o die_v for_o we_o second_o it_o be_v the_o peculiar_a precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o which_o may_v be_v more_o true_o call_v the_o command_n of_o our_o saviour_n than_o any_o other_o and_o three_o it_o be_v plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v obey_v not_o in_o the_o least_o chargeable_a or_o burdensome_a as_o some_o such_o institution_n before_o be_v nor_o in_o any_o measure_n more_o difficult_a than_o any_o other_o service_n in_o our_o religion_n be_v but_o i_o will_v not_o enlarge_v upon_o these_o here_o because_o i_o have_v do_v it_o former_o in_o another_o place_n and_o in_o truth_n i_o only_o mention_v they_o and_o what_o have_v precede_v on_o purpose_n to_o make_v good_a the_o ground_n of_o my_o present_a argument_n to_o let_v man_n see_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o sin_n and_o to_o convince_v
they_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o very_a great_a and_o heinous_a sin_n too_o to_o live_v and_o die_v as_o i_o fear_v too_o many_o do_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o such_o a_o duty_n and_o total_a disregard_n of_o such_o a_o command_n of_o christ_n jesus_n i_o can_v tell_v what_o notion_n some_o man_n may_v have_v of_o sin_n but_o i_o think_v if_o any_o omission_n and_o neglect_v of_o man_n may_v be_v call_v a_o sin_n this_o may_v if_o sin_n be_v as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n then_o certain_o a_o transgression_n of_o such_o a_o law_n must_v be_v a_o sin_n and_o the_o more_o argument_n there_o be_v to_o enforce_v this_o law_n and_o the_o more_o reason_n to_o press_v we_o to_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o the_o more_o heinous_a and_o provoke_a must_v it_o certain_o be_v to_o live_v in_o the_o constant_a disregard_n of_o it_o now_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o they_o must_v convince_v we_o of_o thus_o much_o at_o least_o that_o whatever_o the_o sin_n and_o danger_n of_o eat_v unworthy_o can_v be_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n and_o great_a danger_n not_o to_o eat_v at_o all_o but_o i_o say_v something_o more_o and_o that_o be_v that_o what_o sin_n soever_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v neglect_v and_o refuse_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o all_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v before_o for_o one_o be_v only_o fail_v to_o do_v a_o duty_n so_o well_o as_o man_n shall_v and_o aught_o to_o do_v it_o but_o the_o other_o be_v refuse_v the_o duty_n altogether_o and_o choose_v rather_o to_o live_v in_o a_o total_a disregard_n of_o it_o and_o man_n that_o do_v their_o duty_n though_o not_o so_o well_o as_o they_o shall_v yet_o certain_o be_v more_o excusable_a than_o those_o that_o altogether_o disregard_n and_o neglect_v
