which_o be_v make_v and_o pretend_v by_o ignorant_a people_n for_o not_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n so_o often_o as_o they_o shall_v do_v but_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o and_o those_o that_o be_v most_o common_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o ignorant_a be_v these_o that_o follow_v i._n excuse_n they_o have_v no_o leisure_n have_v they_o leisure_n to_o fill_v their_o

perish_v but_o for_o the_o meat_n that_o endure_v to_o eternal_a life_n ii_o excuse_n they_o want_v clothes_n it_o be_v not_o outward_a apparel_n but_o the_o inward_a ornament_n that_o make_v we_o gracious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_v 12._o our_o outward_a apparel_n never_o so_o mean_a if_o we_o have_v on_o we_o the_o wedding_n garment_n of_o faith_n make_v of_o the_o

welcome_a to_o his_o table_n iii_o excuse_n they_o be_v not_o in_o charity_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o excuse_v one_o sin_n with_o another_o our_o neglect_n or_o contempt_n of_o god_n ordinance_n by_o our_o uncharitable_a affection_n to_o our_o brother_n and_o that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o excuse_v we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o it_o do_v much_o aggravate_v our_o sin_n for_o why_o be_v they_o not_o in_o charity_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v it_o not_o their_o own_o rankorous_a heart_n their_o own_o malicious_a and_o revengeful_a will_n and_o nothing_o else_o that_o

their_o wife_n be_v sick_a or_o lie_v in_o or_o their_o husband_n be_v from_o home_n or_o not_o well_o and_o therefore_o they_o will_v stay_v till_o they_o be_v return_v or_o well_o again_o and_o

they_o there_o may_v be_v some_o excuse_n for_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o in_o this_o case_n god_n will_v have_v mercy_n rather_o than_o sacrifice_n but_o where_o there_o be_v no_o such_o necessity_n i_o see_v not_o how_o we_o can_v be_v excuse_v and_o as_o for_o the_o other_o viz._n the_o husband_n or_o wife_n be_v from_o home_n how_o that_o can_v excuse_v any_o from_o communicate_v when_o god_n call_v they_o thereunto_o i_o know_v not_o for_o our_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n must_v not_o depend_v upon_o other_o receive_v of_o it_o albeit_o they_o be_v never_o so_o near_o or_o dear_a unto_o we_o vi_o excuse_v they_o use_v to_o receive_v at_o easter_n every_o year_n and_o they_o hope_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a this_o communicate_n once_o a_o year_n at_o easter_n be_v hatch_v in_o popery_n when_o ignorance_n prevail_v in_o the_o church_n and_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v follow_v of_o we_o to_o who_o god_n have_v afford_v better_a mean_n of_o knowledge_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n that_o protestant_n in_o profession_n shall_v be_v papist_n in_o opinion_n but_o what_o be_v it_o that_o make_v they_o to_o put_v off_o their_o receive_n to_o this_o time_n if_o it_o be_v their_o respect_n and_o reverence_n to_o the_o sacrament_n as_o fear_v if_o they_o shall_v receive_v it_o often_o they_o shall_v not_o come_v so_o well_o prepare_v to_o it_o as_o they_o hope_v to_o be_v then_o that_o indeed_o be_v some_o though_o but_o a_o poor_a excuse_v but_o that_o be_v not_o it_o it_o be_v rather_o either_o because_o they_o place_v more_o holiness_n in_o that_o time_n above_o other_o and_o so_o think_v the_o better_a the_o day_n the_o better_a the_o work_n which_o be_v mere_a popish_a superstition_n or_o rather_o because_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n and_o fashion_n so_o to_o do_v which_o be_v profane_a irreligion_n whereas_o good_a christian_n look_v rather_o to_o christ_n command_n and_o their_o own_o necessity_n than_o to_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o because_o he_o command_v it_o they_o do_v it_o and_o their_o own_o need_n and_o necessity_n of_o it_o make_v they_o to_o do_v it_o not_o once_o in_o a_o year_n but_o as_o often_o as_o it_o may_v be_v do_v vii_o excuse_v they_o will_v come_v and_o receive_v but_o their_o minister_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o if_o their_o minister_n do_v hinder_v they_o without_o cause_n they_o shall_v bear_v their_o condemnation_n but_o if_o for_o want_n of_o knowledge_n repentance_n charity_n and_o the_o like_a which_o their_o profession_n or_o practice_n do_v witness_v he_o do_v stay_v they_o from_o it_o and_o be_v diligent_a and_o willing_a to_o teach_v and_o warn_v they_o and_o they_o continue_v still_o in_o their_o obstinacy_n and_o wickedness_n their_o blood_n shall_v be_v upon_o their_o own_o head_n viii_o excuse_v that_o they_o be_v conscious_a to_o themselves_o of_o some_o great_a and_o cry_v sin_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v and_o of_o which_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o sufficient_o repent_v and_o therefore_o they_o will_v stay_v till_o the_o next_o opportunity_n of_o receive_v hope_v by_o that_o time_n to_o have_v more_o full_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o to_o be_v better_a prepare_v this_o excuse_v indeed_o may_v be_v the_o more_o tolerable_a if_o he_o that_o have_v commit_v such_o sin_n be_v sure_a of_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v long_a time_n to_o repent_v in_o and_o second_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v grace_n to_o repent_v have_v have_v such_o a_o time_n but_o of_o neither_o of_o these_o can_v any_o man_n for_o the_o present_a be_v assure_v of_o it_o be_v true_a god_n have_v promise_v indeed_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o a_o sinner_n at_o what_o time_n soever_o he_o shall_v true_o repent_v and_o turn_v unto_o he_o but_o he_o have_v nowhere_o promise_v to_o give_v he_o either_o time_n or_o grace_n to_o repent_v when_o he_o will_v and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o be_v wise_a or_o desire_v to_o be_v wise_a for_o the_o everlasting_a good_a of_o thy_o soul_n dispeede_v thy_o repentance_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o take_v the_o present_a opportunity_n that_o god_n offer_v thou_o as_o not_o know_v whether_o god_n will_v ever_o offer_v thou_o the_o like_a opportunity_n again_o be_v also_o assure_v of_o this_o for_o thy_o comfort_n that_o god_n in_o all_o our_o grace_n and_o so_o in_o repentance_n too_o look_v not_o so_o much_o at_o the_o measure_n of_o they_o as_o at_o their_o sincerity_n plain_a expression_n of_o sacramental_a truth_n to_o uulgar_a capacity_n by_o the_o help_n of_o which_o the_o young_a and_o ignorant_a sort_n may_v easy_o understand_v and_o remember_v the_o most_o necessary_a thing_n belong_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n expression_n i_o of_o this_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v true_o and_o real_o exhibit_v to_o the_o worthy_a receiver_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n with_o all_o the_o
