wherein_o we_o be_v to_o endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o continue_v as_o s._n paul_n teach_v the_o disciple_n act._n 14.22_o and_o beware_v that_o we_o fall_v not_o from_o our_o steadfastness_n but_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o be_v 2._o pet._n 3.18_o whereof_o we_o can_v but_o be_v careful_a if_o we_o consider_v our_o weakness_n for_o we_o be_v ever_o subject_a to_o apostasy_n and_o our_o faith_n be_v exceed_o weak_a as_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v by_o our_o coldness_n in_o prayer_n and_o other_o good_a duty_n by_o our_o fear_n of_o death_n &_o by_o our_o love_n of_o this_o world_n for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o which_o christ_n have_v leave_v unto_o we_o this_o sacrament_n as_o a_o special_a mean_n conduce_v thereunto_o for_o the_o covenant_n which_o our_o faith_n take_v hold_v of_o as_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o it_o be_v seal_v unto_o we_o by_o this_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o christ_n call_v the_o cup_n the_o cup_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n because_o it_o seal_v unto_o we_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n accomplish_v in_o the_o shed_n of_o christ_n blood_n now_o if_o a_o king_n shall_v in_o pity_n and_o compassion_n send_v a_o pardon_n under_o his_o seal_n unto_o a_o poor_a distress_a prisoner_n will_v we_o not_o judge_v that_o prisoner_n unworthy_a of_o the_o benefitt_a thereof_o if_o he_o shall_v either_o wilful_o refuse_v it_o or_o careless_o neglect_v it_o questionless_a we_o will_v yet_o such_o be_v our_o case_n before_o god_n who_o as_o king_n of_o king_n have_v seal_v unto_o we_o by_o this_o sacrament_n a_o full_a remission_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n if_o we_o therefore_o shall_v either_o wilful_o contemn_v or_o at_o our_o pleasure_n receive_v this_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n what_o can_v we_o expect_v at_o god_n hand_n but_o a_o just_a removeall_n of_o this_o his_o favour_n from_o we_o sure_o if_o we_o join_v the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o weakness_n which_o so_o much_o need_v help_v with_o the_o meditation_n of_o god_n mercy_n who_o so_o free_o give_v it_o we_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v our_o own_o misery_n if_o we_o neglect_v it_o wherefore_o as_o we_o fear_v he_o and_o tender_a the_o good_a of_o our_o own_o soul_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a in_o the_o due_a performance_n of_o this_o so_o weighty_a a_o business_n but_o some_o be_v wont_a to_o frame_v these_o excuse_n for_o their_o absence_n 1._o the_o often_o receive_v of_o this_o sacrament_n may_v breed_v a_o disesteem_v thereof_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v safe_a sometime_o to_o abstain_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o matter_n temporal_a as_o pleasure_n and_o such_o like_a the_o often_o use_n may_v breed_v contempt_n or_o at_o least_o neglect_n as_o it_o often_o do_v but_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n it_o rather_o breed_v a_o great_a desire_n because_o the_o more_o we_o feel_v and_o know_v the_o goodness_n of_o they_o the_o more_o we_o seek_v after_o they_o yet_o if_o it_o so_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o by_o often_o receive_v we_o begin_v to_o undervalue_v the_o worth_n of_o it_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o this_o neglect_n arise_v not_o from_o the_o often_o use_v of_o the_o thing_n but_o from_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n for_o this_o exercise_n be_v god_n own_o ordinance_n always_o attend_v with_o his_o blessing_n if_o right_o receive_v appoint_v as_o a_o mean_n to_o stir_v up_o and_o increase_v our_o zeal_n and_o devotion_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o it_o shall_v hinder_v it_o let_v not_o this_o therefore_o keep_v we_o from_o the_o lord_n table_n but_o let_v we_o rather_o come_v that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o increase_v our_o piety_n 2._o some_o will_v say_v i_o be_o not_o prepare_v and_o therefore_o dare_v not_o come_v but_o this_o indeed_o be_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v always_o prepare_v our_o whole_a life_n shall_v be_v a_o continual_a preparation_n as_o to_o all_o other_o good_a duty_n so_o especial_o to_o this_o be_v ever_o ready_a when_o the_o lord_n shall_v call_v as_o our_o saviour_n admonish_v we_o matt._n 24.44_o 3._o other_o will_v urge_v i_o be_o to_o take_v a_o journey_n or_o to_o be_v employ_v in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o business_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v come_v well_o if_o this_o journey_n or_o the_o like_a must_v of_o necessity_n be_v perform_v thy_o excuse_n be_v the_o safe_a but_o if_o it_o may_v be_v any_o way_n avoid_v as_o oftentimes_o it_o may_v assure_v thyself_o this_o be_v to_o prefer_v thy_o own_o pleasure_n before_o that_o which_o god_n command_v a_o day_n will_v certain_o come_v wherein_o we_o must_v give_v a_o account_n for_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o least_o of_o god_n ordinance_n and_o than_o it_o will_v be_v say_v of_o such_o pretence_n who_o require_v these_o thing_n at_o thy_o hand_n 4._o some_o be_v wont_a to_o urge_v i_o be_o not_o in_o charity_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o wrong_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o come_v this_o indeed_o be_v a_o excuse_n too_o common_a but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o in_o charity_n it_o be_v our_o own_o fault_n for_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o charity_n and_o still_o to_o preserve_v it_o and_o certain_o a_o miserable_a thing_n it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v prefer_v to_o feed_v on_o our_o own_o malice_n rather_o than_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n this_o be_v to_o hurt_v ourselves_o more_o than_o we_o need_v even_o to_o wrong_v ourselves_o because_o other_o have_v wrong_v we_o we_o shall_v rather_o seek_v all_o mean_n of_o reconciliation_n that_o so_o we_o may_v remove_v those_o impediment_n of_o piety_n and_o religion_n and_o come_v the_o more_o free_o to_o the_o lord_n table_n 5._o some_o thus_o plead_v for_o their_o absence_n i_o be_o afraid_a to_o approach_v unto_o the_o lord_n table_n by_o reason_n of_o my_o manifold_a infirmity_n which_o be_v in_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o have_v rather_o sometime_o to_o refrain_v lest_o i_o come_v unworthy_o which_o be_v a_o very_a fearful_a thing_n it_o be_v so_o indeed_o but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o our_o stay_n away_o be_v no_o comfort_n unto_o we_o in_o this_o case_n but_o rather_o a_o mean_n to_o make_v we_o worse_o and_o to_o pull_v down_o god_n judgement_n upon_o we_o we_o shall_v rather_o remember_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o invit_v we_o promise_v to_o refresh_v those_o that_o be_v heavy_a load_v with_o their_o sin_n matt._n 11.28_o not_o put_v we_o off_o for_o our_o infirmity_n for_o if_o thero_o be_v a_o willing_a mind_n he_o accept_v we_o according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v and_o not_o according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v not_o 2._o cor._n 8.12_o though_o we_o want_v that_o perfection_n which_o other_o have_v yet_o if_o we_o have_v a_o true_a desire_n to_o be_v refresh_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v a_o sincere_a heart_n before_o god_n he_o will_v accept_v we_o according_a to_o this_o whensoever_o therefore_o the_o devil_n shall_v tempt_v thou_o to_o draw_v thou_o away_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o thy_o own_o infirmity_n cheer_v up_o thyself_o with_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o blind_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n mar._n 10.49_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n behold_v he_o call_v thou_o say_v unto_o thyself_o christ_n jesus_n have_v invite_v i_o &_o have_v promise_v to_o accept_v i_o if_o my_o heart_n be_v sincere_a humble_a and_o willing_a why_o then_o shall_v the_o consideration_n of_o my_o infirmity_n keep_v i_o from_o it_o 6._o other_o thus_o reply_n i_o desire_v to_o receive_v but_o i_o be_o conscious_a unto_o myself_o of_o some_o cry_a sin_n which_o i_o have_v commit_v before_o god_n for_o which_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o sufficient_o repent_v &_o how_o then_o can_v i_o partake_v of_o this_o holy_a banquet_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v it_o so_o be_v thou_o poor_a &_o yet_o will_v thou_o refuse_v gold_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v unto_o thou_o who_o will_v they_o pity_v thou_o for_o thy_o poverty_n be_v thou_o desperate_o sick_a &_o will_v thou_o not_o seek_v unto_o the_o physician_n for_o mean_n of_o recovery_n who_o will_v they_o bemoan_v thou_o for_o thy_o disease_n behold_v christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o physician_n of_o thy_o soul_n as_o well_o able_a to_o heal_v it_o of_o all_o its_o disease_n as_o he_o do_v the_o body_n of_o those_o which_o come_v unto_o he_o of_o their_o infirmity_n forsake_v not_o then_o this_o heavenly_a physician_n but_o labour_n by_o a_o serious_a repentance_n to_o discharge_v thy_o conscience_n of_o those_o thy_o sin_n and_o then_o come_v speedy_o unto_o
