to_o say_v this_o be_v well_o speak_v to_o such_o a_o one_o and_o it_o concern_v such_o a_o one_o but_o how_o do_v it_o concern_v thy_o soul_n in_o particular_a sometime_o the_o lord_n do_v even_o

this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n you_o do_v not_o come_v always_o to_o hear_v what_o you_o do_v not_o know_v it_o may_v be_v sometime_o god_n may_v dart_v

you_o will_v say_v can_v we_o fit_v at_o home_n and_o read_v a_o sermon_n but_o have_v god_n appoint_v that_o the_o great_a ordinance_n for_o the_o convert_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o soul_n in_o the_o

you_o shall_v come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o your_o heart_n possess_v with_o that_o meditation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o great_a ordinance_n that_o god_n have_v

worship_n of_o god_n as_o depend_v mere_o upon_o institution_n that_o be_v upon_o a_o positive_a law_n upon_o the_o will_n of_o god_n there_o be_v some_o duty_n of_o worship_n which_o be_v natural_a that_o we_o may_v know_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n they_o be_v due_a to_o god_n but_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o duty_n of_o worship_n that_o be_v only_o by_o institution_n and_o if_o god_n have_v not_o reveal_v it_o we_o have_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o it_o therefore_o in_o these_o duty_n of_o institution_n god_n stand_v very_o punctual_a upon_o they_o we_o must_v be_v very_o axact_a neither_o to_o erse_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o the_o left_a to_o make_v any_o alteration_n in_o the_o point_n of_o institution_n now_o therefore_o for_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n we_o find_v it_o in_o divers_a of_o the_o evangelist_n in_o matth._n 26.26_o there_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n they_o eat_v the_o sacrament_n together_o and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o it_o they_o be_v together_o sit_v at_o the_o same_o table_n so_o it_o be_v call_v the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n sometime_o in_o scripture_n therefore_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o institution_n that_o those_o that_o do_v communicate_v must_v come_v to_o the_o table_n as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v as_o many_o as_o can_v sit_v about_o it_o and_o all_o to_o come_v as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o otherwise_o you_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v the_o end_n why_o god_n will_v have_v you_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o end_n be_v to_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n now_o except_o you_o be_v able_a to_o see_v the_o sight_n to_o see_v what_o be_v do_v to_o have_v

the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o institution_n that_o every_o communicant_a must_v be_v where_o he_o may_v behold_v what_o be_v do_v he_o must_v be_v where_o he_o may_v see_v the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o the_o wine_n certain_o it_o have_v be_v a_o disorderly_a way_n therefore_o for_o people_n to_o sit_v up_o and_o down_o in_o their_o pew_v every_o where_n in_o the_o congregation_n and_o for_o the_o minister_n to_o go_v up_o and_o down_o after_o they_o so_o that_o they_o can_v see_v nothing_o nor_o scarce_o hear_v any_o thing_n it_o be_v much_o for_o the_o attain_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o institution_n for_o all_o communicant_n to_o look_v upon_o the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o all_o shall_v come_v together_o and_o there_o as_o many_o as_o can_v sit_v at_o his_o

we_o must_v not_o come_v babble_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n to_o speak_v we_o know_v not_o what_o and_o to_o multiply_v word_n we_o know_v not_o wherefore_o but_o god_n do_v require_v that_o those_o that_o come_v to_o prayer_n come_v with_o understanding_n that_o they_o offer_v to_o god_n a_o rational_a a_o reasonable_a a_o understand_a sacrifice_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n now_o as_o it_o belong_v to_o all_o other_o duty_n of_o worship_n so_o especial_o in_o prayer_n to_o know_v what_o we_o do_v when_o we_o pray_v not_o to_o

well_o take_v up_o a_o whole_a sermon_n in_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o prayer_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o so_o in_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o trouble_v with_o the_o wander_a of_o their_o thought_n both_o in_o word_n

of_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o pester_v in_o their_o spirit_n with_o this_o evil_a it_o be_v very_o grievous_a unto_o they_o and_o many_o of_o they_o go_v under_o it_o as_o a_o grievous_a burden_n all_o their_o day_n the_o chief_a burden_n that_o be_v upon_o their_o spirit_n be_v their_o wander_a in_o prayer_n so_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o they_o as_o he_o

and_o say_v what_o shall_v i_o give_v you_o for_o yourselves_o if_o he_o shall_v ask_v you_o in_o the_o general_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v ask_v something_o for_o the_o church_n but_o if_o it_o

that_o be_v wicked_a and_o vile_a that_o not_o only_o have_v vain_a wander_a thought_n in_o prayer_n but_o even_o in_o the_o very_a duty_n of_o prayer_n many_o time_n have_v wicked_a and_o ungodly_a
