in_o any_o of_o god_n ordinance_n it_o be_v downright_a hypocrisy_n and_o a_o mere_a mock_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v ourselves_o his_o servant_n by_o communicate_v in_o these_o outward_a rite_n of_o his_o religion_n when_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o be_v not_o inward_o dispose_v at_o all_o to_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o most_o important_a part_n of_o our_o duty_n live_v righteous_o sober_o and_o godly_o in_o thi●_n present_a world_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v the_o scripture_n ●…nstantly_o represent_v god_n as_o one_o that_o abhor_v and_o abominate_v the_o service_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o resent_v their_o prayess_n and_o sacrifice_n their_o incense_n and_o solemn_a meeting_n as_o abomination_n and_o iniquity_n much_o less_o can_v a_o wicked_a man_n be_v fit_a to_o join_v in_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o the_o end_n of_o this_o be_v to_o lament_v and_o bewail_v those_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o our_o bless_a lord_n death_n and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o that_o victory_n which_o our_o lord_n by_o his_o death_n obtain_v over_o sin_n he_o must_v certain_o be_v a_o very_a unfit_a man_n to_o do_v this_o who_o still_o take_v part_n with_o sin_n show_v a_o favour_n and_o like_n to_o it_o and_o instead_o of_o be_v servant_n to_o christ_n be_v indeed_o the_o servant_n of_o sin_n beside_o we_o know_v the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o covenant_a ordinance_n wherein_o we_o be_v to_o engage_v ourselves_o to_o the_o service_n of_o christ_n and_o god_n upon_o supposition_n of_o such_o our_o engagement_n be_v to_o make_v over_o to_o we_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o passion_n remission_n of_o sin_n grace_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o live_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o eternal_a
