his_o passion_n and_o death_n which_o for_o thy_o sake_n he_o suffer_v and_o sustain_v second_o that_o thou_o take_v the_o sacred_a bread_n do_v make_v sure_a thy_o faith_n and_o appropriate_v unto_o thyself_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n passion_n and_o so_o of_o the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o cross_n cherish_v &_o strengthen_v thy_o conscience_n with_o that_o assurance_n and_o then_o take_v the_o wine_n that_o thou_o bethink_v with_o thyself_o how_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v shed_v for_o thy_o sin_n and_o so_o withal_o reviue_v and_o fill_v with_o joy_n thy_o droop_a conscience_n three_o this_o devotion_n must_v be_v also_o in_o consideration_n of_o thy_o own_o self_n that_o thou_o do_v hereafter_o dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v thyself_o whole_o both_o in_o soul_n and_o in_o body_n and_o all_o thy_o work_n unto_o god_n four_o that_o thou_o do_v also_o remember_v the_o church_n in_o who_o sight_n thou_o use_v the_o lord_n supper_n firm_o resolve_v with_o thyself_o to_o abide_v always_o in_o that_o church_n and_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o charity_n unto_o the_o brethren_n for_o the_o better_a effect_v of_o these_o 4_o point_n of_o this_o internal_a devotion_n every_o one_o may_v use_v some_o pithy_a form_n of_o prayer_n about_o the_o very_a act_n of_o receive_v and_o so_o have_v we_o finish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o true_a preparation_n unto_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o together_o with_o it_o have_v lay_v down_o the_o sum_n and_o epitome_n of_o all_o divinity_n now_o what_o remain_v but_o that_o we_o earnest_o entreat_v of_o god_n

the_o undoubted_a truth_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o be_v pious_o transform_v into_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o understand_v so_o that_o we_o may_v not_o in_o any_o thing_n displease_v his_o
