confessor_n who_o not_o only_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o you_o to_o pray_v for_o you_o but_o have_v the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n commit_v to_o he_o upon_o your_o true_a repentance_n to_o

ii_o that_o for_o the_o frequency_n of_o do_v this_o if_o your_o own_o conscience_n do_v not_o speak_v home_o to_o you_o you_o refer_v yourself_o to_o your_o spiritual_a guide_n who_o know_v the_o

the_o primitive_a christian_n communicate_v every_o day_n and_o if_o your_o life_n be_v innocent_a from_o great_a offence_n you_o prepartion_n need_v not_o be_v long_o only_o be_v sure_a you_o bring_v with_o you_o faith_n and_o charity_n clean_a hand_n and_o a_o penitent_a heart_n which_o if_o you_o do_v be_v confident_a the_o master_n of_o the_o feast_n will_v not_o find_v fault_n with_o you_o for_o want_v of_o a_o wedding-garment_n vi_o that_o upon_o the_o bless_a day_n of_o your_o receive_v you_o do_v more_o vigorous_o prepare_v yourself_o by_o lift_v up_o your_o heart_n and_o hand_n to_o

silence_n till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o morning-sacrifice_n be_v come_v when_o be_v call_v to_o a_o more_o public_a oratory_n you_o may_v be_v the_o fit_a to_o go_v with_o a_o humble_a confidence_n to_o meet_v your_o saviour_n and_o with_o that_o ardour_n and_o affection_n as_o a_o chaste_a virgin_n go_v to_o a_o holy_a marriage_n vii_o that_o during_o the_o celebration_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n you_o attend_v earnest_o to_o what_o be_v do_v by_o the_o priest_n when_o he_o break_v the_o bread_n imagine_v to_o yourself_o that_o you_o see_v the_o body_n of_o your_o dear_a saviour_n tear_v and_o crucify_v and_o when_o he_o pour_v out_o the_o wine_n consider_v that_o his_o blood_n be_v thus_o pour_v out_o upon_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o last_o of_o all_o when_o he_o that_o consecrate_v shall_v stand_v before_o you_o ready_a in_o particular_a to_o apply_v it_o you_o may_v then_o think_v that_o you_o see_v christ_n himself_o reach_v out_o his_o own_o body_n and_o
