And St. Mar● 14. 22 23. And as they did eat Jesus too● Bread and blessed it and brake it and gave t● them and said Take eat this is my Body An● he took the Cup and when he had given thanks he gave it to them and they all drank of it Luk 22. 19 20. And he took Bread and gave thanks and brake it and gave unto them saying This is my Body which is given for you do this in remembrance of me Likewise also the Cup after Supper saying this Cup is the New Testament of my Blood which is she● for you And by St. Paul we have a hint o● it 1 Cor. 11. 23 24 25. For I have receiv'● of the Lord that which also I have delivere● unto you that the Lord Jesus the same night that he was betrayed the same night took Bread And when he had given thanks he brake it and said Take eat this is my Body which is broken for you This do in remembrance of me And the reason that is given is For as often as ye eat of this Bread and drink of this Cup ye do shew forth the Lord's Death till he come How we ought to examine and resolve with our selves before we Communicate in this great Ordinance WE are Exhorted to it by the Apostle St. Paul 1 Cor. 11. 28. But let ● Man examine himself and so let him eat of that Bread and drink of that Cup. The Apostle's reason is Because he that eateth and drinketh Unworthily eateth and drinketh Damnation to himself not discerning the Lord's Body O Dreadful that any shou'd be so careless so heedless and presumptuous to go to this Table of the Lord and not be fitted and prepared for it when they that run may read the fatal Consequence of Unworthy Receiving Therefore that you may not come to this Ordinance and go away in a far wo●se Condition than you came fit and prepare your self for it First by examination examine thy own Heart which is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it and try your own ways see what you are doing whether serving of God or the Devil or your self And if you have been serving your self or the Devil do so no more but turn from all your wicked ways with a full resolution and purpose of heart and cea● from doing evil learn to do well Examine and see what God hath sai● concerning those that break his Statute● that observe not his Commandments t● keep them that are stubbo●n careless an● unconverted Sinners that will not hav● God for their Portion nor none of h● ways but will walk after the imaginatio● of their own Hearts striving as it wer● with all their might to make sure of Eternal Burnings which will be the certai● Portion of all the Workers of Iniquity a God himself hath declar'd that canno● Lye Ask thy self the Question whether tho● art one of those head strong Sinners or no● Why shouldst thou be afraid to ask thi● Question when no less than eternal Joy● or eternal Woes depend upon it I am not afraid to look over my Estate to se● whether I am a rich Man or a poor an● why shou'd I be afraid of seeing whethe● I am a wise Man or a Fool a Friend ●● an Enemy to God and whether the blesed Portion of the Righteous or the cu●sed Portion of the Wicked will fall to m● Share What means my living in so many known Sins and be contented to perform some formal Ceremonies in the Service of God and now and then put up a dead ●ull heartless Prayer and put him off with ●he world's leaving O dreadful poor de●uded Soul that I am to think that the All-wise God maker of Heaven and Earth and the Fountain of Waters will be con●ented with these false hypocritcal and indifferent Actions No God is not such a ●ne as my self he is of purer eyes than to behold such Wickedness with any approbation Therefore take heed O my Soul and ●heat not thy self any longer but turn to ●he Lord with singleness and uprightness of Heart and serve him with a ready and ● thankful Mind and take as much nay more pleasure in obeying his Commandments in doing his Will in observing his ●tatutes and Judgments as ever thou didst ●● thy most darling Sin in deceitful Dali●h's which will certainly bring thee to ●verlasting Ruine and Destruction if thou ●ost not leave them and forsake them and ●eave to the Lord and fear his dreadful ●ame and love him with all thy Heart ●●d with all my Soul and with all thy Mind ●●d with all thy Strength and thy Neighbours as thy self and love mercy and do justly and walk humbly with thy God and then thou wilt be fit and prepared for this Heavenly Banquet whereby thy Soul will be infinitely refreshed and the Souls of all those that are Receivers in the true Faith Fear and Love A Prayer to be used before the Receiving of the Blessed Sacrament MOst Holy Lord God and Everlasting Father who out of thy infinite loving kindness to Mankind gavest thy only begotten Son to make satisfaction to thy Justice for the Sins of the whole World O Lord thy Mercy is very great toward● me and all Men in that we have sinned and thou hast appointed thy only Son to bear the Burthen of the Punishment fo● them O Lord do thou fit and prepar● me by thy Heavenly Grace for this thy great Ordinance and so grant me by thy Strength as that I may perform my pa● of it with that holy Fear and Reveren● as I ought And Lord Grant I may r●ceive that benefit by it thou designest ●● in it which is that Soul-satisfying Cordi● the fresh stream of thy Everlasting Lov● Lord make me more and more sensible by it of thy great Loving-kindness towards me O Lord grant this and abundantly more than I am able to ask or think for thy dear Son's sake to whom with thee O Father and the blessed Spirit be all Honour Praise and Glory from this time henceforth and for ever At the time of Receiving you may use these Ejaculations BLess the Lord O my Soul and all that is within me bless his holy Name for his wonderful Mercy and Loving-kindness to me is very great Magnifie the Lord O my Soul and sing Praises to the most high God for he hath visited and redeem●d his People with his most precious Blood At the Receiving of the Bread say THis is that Bread which came down from Heaven That whosoever eateth ●hereof shall never hunger Thou hast dealt ●●y Bread to the Hungry O feed me with ●is Bread of Life O strengthen my Faith ●nd open my Mouth with fervent desires ●at I may eat not to satisfie my Bodily ●unger but Spiritual and to the refresh●ent of my Immortal Soul O let my Soul feel the Efficacy of thy Grace that may not eat unworthily O Lord I beseech thee to direct me by thy holy Spiri● to
