together_o in_o competition_n man_n be_v better_o do_v as_o crates_n the_o theban_a do_v part_n with_o all_o their_o gold_n than_o be_v void_a of_o that_o which_o be_v true_a wisdom_n and_o it_o be_v infinite_o more_o desirable_a for_o they_o to_o be_v rid_v of_o those_o riches_n which_o be_v a_o clog_n unto_o they_o and_o hinder_v they_o from_o go_v to_o heaven_n than_o upon_o their_o deathbed_n to_o be_v trouble_v with_o a_o sad_a remembrance_n that_o they_o have_v be_v more_o faithful_a drudge_n to_o their_o family_n than_o friend_n and_o servant_n to_o god_n 3._o but_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v many_o good_a people_n who_o use_v the_o world_n yet_o neither_o abuse_v the_o world_n nor_o themselves_o for_o the_o world_n sake_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v possible_a to_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n even_o while_o we_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v no_o difficult_a matter_n for_o a_o wise_a man_n to_o serve_v god_n and_o himself_o too_o let_v he_o follow_v his_o vocation_n diligent_o let_v he_o deal_v just_o and_o show_v mercy_n and_o walk_v humble_o and_o pray_v daily_o and_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o then_o in_o do_v the_o work_n of_o his_o call_v he_o do_v in_o some_o measure_n work_n out_o his_o salvation_n too_o for_o he_o obey_v god_n in_o labour_v with_o his_o hand_n and_o in_o work_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o so_o throughout_o the_o week_n he_o do_v in_o some_o sort_n and_o degree_n fit_a and_o prepare_v himself_o against_o the_o sacrament_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o man_n shall_v pare_v off_o some_o portion_n of_o the_o six_o day_n and_o consecrate_v it_o to_o a_o more_o solemn_a and_o strict_a preparation_n yet_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o follow_v of_o our_o secular_a business_n with_o sobriety_n and_o honesty_n be_v far_o from_o be_v a_o just_a hindrance_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o attend_v on_o this_o ordinance_n for_o let_v a_o man_n but_o lead_v a_o holy_a life_n and_o that_o he_o may_v do_v in_o any_o call_v that_o be_v but_o lawful_a and_o the_o less_o time_n will_v be_v require_v for_o self_n examination_n let_v he_o but_o carry_v always_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o the_o less_o fearful_a will_v he_o be_v of_o draw_v near_o unto_o god_n in_o the_o church_n because_o he_o never_o depart_v from_o he_o though_o he_o be_v at_o home_o a_o upright_a conversation_n be_v a_o continual_a prayer_n and_o a_o constant_a kind_n of_o preparation_n and_o so_o man_n may_v in_o some_o measure_n fit_v themselves_o to_o be_v communicant_n even_o in_o their_o shop_n and_o warehouse_n and_o yet_o certain_o the_o business_n of_o the_o day_n be_v not_o so_o great_a nor_o urgent_a but_o that_o any_o the_o most_o painful_a tradesman_n may_v find_v some_o convenient_a time_n to_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n the_o morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_n both_o of_o praise_n for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o of_o prayer_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n now_o let_v he_o but_o enter_v upon_o his_o affair_n with_o devotion_n and_o manage_v they_o with_o integrity_n and_o end_v they_o and_o the_o day_n with_o piety_n and_o repentance_n for_o his_o fail_n and_o he_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o communicate_v weekly_o if_o he_o will_n and_o if_o any_o man_n be_v such_o a_o enemy_n to_o himself_o as_o that_o he_o be_v careless_a in_o observe_v this_o method_n let_v he_o lay_v the_o blame_v not_o upon_o the_o urgency_n of_o his_o business_n or_o want_v of_o time_n but_o where_o it_o shall_v be_v lay_v upon_o his_o want_n of_o true_a zeal_n and_o a_o right_a christian_a spirit_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o man_n may_v have_v some_o more_o extraordinary_a trouble_n come_v in_o upon_o they_o at_o some_o time_n than_o at_o other_o such_o be_v the_o course_n of_o this_o world_n that_o there_o be_v flood_n as_o well_o as_o ebbing_n of_o business_n in_o every_o employment_n however_o 4thly_a this_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o most_o important_a matter_n be_v rare_o so_o instant_a and_o press_a but_o man_n can_v pick_v out_o some_o lucid_a interval_n and_o steal_v away_o from_o their_o care_n either_o to_o some_o by-concernments_a that_o be_v not_o so_o cumbersome_a or_o to_o recreation_n that_o be_v for_o their_o refreshment_n and_o how_o can_v man_n pretend_v that_o they_o have_v not_o time_n to_o fit_v themselves_o for_o the_o sacrament_n when_o they_o may_v dispatch_v the_o work_n in_o a_o less_o space_n than_o that_o amount_n to_o which_o many_o time_n be_v vain_o and_o sometime_o sinful_o employ_v if_o such_o man_n be_v sure_a to_o purchase_v a_o estate_n by_o the_o prayer_n and_o penance_n of_o a_o week_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v none_o of_o they_o will_v pretend_v that_o they_o want_v time_n or_o if_o a_o office_n or_o place_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v lose_v or_o a_o considerable_a sum_n of_o money_n like_a to_o be_v forfeit_v unless_o the_o sacrament_n be_v receive_v by_o such_o a_o day_n it_o be_v likely_a that_o whatever_o man_n business_n or_o concerment_n be_v they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o keep_v their_o side_n free_a from_o the_o lash_n of_o the_o law_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o penal_a statute_n be_v so_o careful_o observe_v while_o at_o other_o time_n the_o command_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o easy_o pass_v over_o but_o that_o man_n general_o have_v not_o that_o tender_a regard_n of_o their_o soul_n as_o they_o have_v of_o their_o purse_n and_o of_o their_o secular_a interest_n 3._o but_o beside_o these_o there_o be_v a_o three_o sort_n of_o person_n who_o excuse_n be_v a_o little_a to_o be_v consider_v too_o many_o serious_a religious_a and_o devout_a christian_n i_o doubt_v not_o who_o have_v both_o heart_n to_o come_v to_o the_o communion_n and_o time_n enough_o for_o preparation_n but_o yet_o be_v trouble_v with_o scruple_n and_o fear_n lest_o they_o shall_v not_o come_v prepare_v sufficient_o notwithstanding_o their_o pious_a endeavour_n and_o so_o rather_o choose_v to_o refrain_v though_o it_o be_v with_o much_o reluctancy_n and_o regret_n these_o fear_n and_o scruple_n i_o now_o speak_v of_o do_v most_o if_o not_o altogether_o proceed_v from_o wrong_a notion_n and_o apprehension_n concern_v this_o mystery_n because_o they_o be_v tell_v that_o before_o they_o receive_v they_o must_v examine_v themselves_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o after_o they_o have_v receive_v they_o must_v be_v careful_a continual_o to_o persevere_v in_o that_o state_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v very_o mistrustful_a of_o themselves_o and_o very_o fearful_a of_o the_o worst_a perhaps_o the_o remembrance_n of_o some_o sin_n that_o be_v past_a do_v yet_o run_v in_o their_o mind_n though_o they_o be_v true_o penitent_a for_o it_o and_o withal_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o natural_a weakness_n make_v they_o doubtful_a for_o the_o future_a lest_o they_o shall_v transgress_v again_o notwithstanding_o their_o watchfulness_n and_o the_o apprehension_n of_o what_o be_v past_a and_o of_o what_o may_v follow_v disquiet_v their_o conscience_n and_o think_v to_o err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n they_o resolve_v to_o keep_v their_o foot_n from_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n lest_o they_o shall_v take_v a_o step_n towards_o the_o brink_n of_o destruction_n now_o to_o rectify_v the_o mistake_n of_o these_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o no_o more_o be_v require_v of_o any_o in_o point_n of_o practice_n for_o the_o due_a receive_v of_o this_o sacrament_n than_o what_o be_v require_v of_o we_o all_o by_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n for_o here_o we_o do_v renew_v our_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o engage_v ourselves_o afresh_o but_o upon_o the_o former_a term_n that_o be_v undertake_v at_o our_o baptism_n so_o that_o what_o that_o covenant_n do_v contain_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v now_o to_o make_v good_a now_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v these_o in_o short_a viz._n faith_n in_o christ_n accompany_v with_o repentance_n from_o all_o dead_a work_n and_o if_o man_n bewail_v their_o sin_n hearty_o and_o resolve_v to_o be_v circumspect_a for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v not_o allow_v themselves_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a but_o forsake_v all_o sinful_a habit_n and_o watch_v against_o all_o sinful_a act_n and_o if_o they_o persevere_v in_o this_o course_n study_v to_o serve_v god_n according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o their_o power_n and_o knowledge_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o shall_v find_v acceptance_n with_o god_n and_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o profess_v at_o the_o sacrament_n that_o we_o do_v and_o will_v do_v 1._o we_o profess_v ourselves_o penitent_n for_o all_o that_o be_v past_a
