and_o go_v 2._o we_o undertake_v to_o live_v godly_a life_n for_o the_o future_a mean_v as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n grace_n consider_v the_o imperfection_n of_o our_o

sincere_o now_o we_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v communicant_o so_o that_o i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o see_v what_o reason_n any_o conscientious_a and_o good_a heart_a man_n have_v to_o be_v afraid_a of_o this_o ordinance_n rather_o it_o shall_v be_v his_o comfort_n and_o joy_n that_o he_o have_v liberty_n to_o use_v it_o because_o it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o those_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o mercy_n which_o god_n have_v make_v to_o every_o break_a heart_n no_o scruple_n therefore_o be_v sufficient_a to_o beat_v off_o any_o pious_a and_o penitent_a soul_n for_o if_o man_n do_v not_o

chap._n iii_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o preparation_n the_o necessity_n of_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v thus_o prove_v it_o be_v time_n now_o to_o consider_v those_o dispositition_n

to_o be_v inquire_v into_o for_o the_o full_a satisfaction_n of_o man_n conscience_n 1._o first_o concern_v the_o necessity_n of_o prepare_v ourselves_o before_o hand_n how_o that_o do_v appear_v 2._o second_o concern_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o preparation_n wherein_o that_o do_v consist_v 1._o first_o touch_v the_o necessity_n of_o prepare_v ourselves_o before_o we_o presume_v to_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n and_o to_o drink_v of_o this_o cup._n it_o be_v observable_a that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o give_v his_o disciple_n no_o particular_a instruction_n about_o this_o matter_n when_o he_o institute_v this_o solemnity_n he_o command_v they_o indeed_o to_o do_v this_o and_o to_o celebrate_v this_o mystery_n in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o but_o we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o any_o express_a direction_n he_o give_v touch_v preparation_n thereunto_o however_o that_o no_o man_n may_v be_v embolden_v to_o use_v this_o ordinance_n after_o a_o irreligious_a or_o rash_a manner_n the_o necessity_n of_o prepare_v ourselves_o will_v evident_o appear_v from_o these_o follow_a consideration_n 1._o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o analogy_n which_o this_o mystery_n bear_v to_o those_o ancient_a sacrfical_a feast_n that_o be_v celebrate_v by_o all_o mankind_n these_o i_o have_v treat_v of_o at_o large_a because_o the_o full_a knowledge_n thereof_o be_v very_o serviceable_a in_o help_v we_o to_o understand_v both_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o feast_n and_o our_o own_o duty_n too_o in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o which_o probable_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o our_o lord_n silence_n in_o this_o point_n because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o very_o necessary_a for_o he_o to_o give_v particular_a instruction_n in_o a_o matter_n which_o be_v so_o obvious_a to_o all_o that_o man_n can_v easy_o be_v lead_v to_o a_o sense_n of_o their_o duty_n by_o those_o common_a notion_n and_o apprehension_n which_o both_o heathen_n and_o jew_n have_v of_o banquet_n of_o this_o nature_n as_o for_o the_o heathen_a part_n of_o the_o world_n they_o see_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n that_o holy_a thing_n ought_v to_o be_v use_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o reverence_n and_o by_o man_n of_o holiness_n and_o purity_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n their_o constant_a custom_n be_v before_o they_o go_v to_o their_o sacrifical_a banquet_n to_o prepare_v themselves_o with_o many_o
