christ_n jesus_n a_o serious_a and_o unfeigned_a repentance_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n a_o steadfast_a purpose_n of_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n and_o be_v in_o charity_n with_o all_o man_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v st._n paul_n meaning_n in_o this_o expression_n and_o if_o you_o thus_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n you_o will_v certain_o find_v the_o bless_a effect_n of_o it_o in_o the_o

demean_v and_o behave_v yourself_o at_o god_n table_n pashioner_n sir_n you_o have_v infinite_o oblige_v i_o by_o the_o pain_n you_o have_v take_v to_o furnish_v i_o with_o such_o good_a rule_n and_o direction_n i_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v i_o grace_n to_o observe_v and_o follow_v they_o i_o shall_v god_n will_v do_v my_o endeavour_n and_o i_o beg_v your_o prayer_n for_o my_o assistance_n but_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o yet_o which_o you_o be_v please_v to_o promise_v i_o viz._n some_o direction_n how_o to_o behave_v myself_o after_o i_o have_v receive_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o these_o also_o i_o will_v willing_o take_v along_o with_o i_o when_o i_o go_v from_o hence_o pastor_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o your_o debtor_n by_o promise_n as_o to_o this_o also_o and_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o discharge_v myself_o of_o that_o debt_n by_o give_v you_o some_o short_a and_o plain_a rule_n how_o to_o carry_v yourself_o afterward_o 1._o when_o you_o go_v away_o from_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n you_o ought_v to_o carry_v along_o with_o you_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o those_o great_a obligation_n which_o god_n almighty_a have_v lay_v upon_o you_o therein_o you_o ought_v to_o retire_v not_o only_o into_o your_o closet_n or_o some_o private_a place_n but_o into_o yourself_o and_o there_o meditate_v of_o the_o great_a mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n the_o father_n in_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v your_o mediator_n and_o redeemer_n and_o of_o the_o great_a condescension_n and_o infinite_a kindness_n of_o god_n the_o son_n in_o take_v upon_o he_o your_o nature_n and_o submit_v himself_o to_o death_n even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o your_o sin_n you_o ought_v often_o to_o think_v of_o that_o great_a honour_n you_o have_v receive_v in_o be_v admit_v not_o only_o to_o feast_v with_o god_n and_o christ_n but_o to_o feast_v upon_o christ_n the_o true_a christian_a sacrifice_n in_o a_o word_n you_o ought_v by_o serious_a thought_n and_o meditation_n of_o what_o you_o have_v be_v about_o to_o imprint_v upon_o your_o mind_n a_o due_a sense_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o thereby_o take_v a_o prospect_n of_o all_o that_o happiness_n which_o you_o either_o do_v enjoy_v or_o may_v obtain_v by_o comply_v with_o and_o be_v obedient_a to_o the_o command_n of_o the_o bless_a jesus_n in_o this_o particular_a 2._o have_v thus_o imprint_v these_o thing_n upon_o your_o mind_n you_o must_v endeavour_v thereby_o to_o work_v it_o into_o a_o humble_a and_o grateful_a frame_n when_o you_o reflect_v upon_o your_o former_a sin_n and_o present_a unworthiness_n you_o will_v find_v cause_n sufficient_a to_o be_v humble_v for_o they_o and_o when_o you_o consider_v god_n greatness_n in_o himself_o and_o his_o goodness_n towards_o you_o you_o will_v find_v good_a reason_n to_o be_v thankful_a for_o the_o favour_n you_o have_v and_o daily_o do_v receive_v from_o he_o let_v it_o be_v your_o care_n therefore_o always_o to_o cherish_v due_a sentiment_n of_o divine_a goodness_n in_o your_o mind_n that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v ready_a upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o praise_n and_o glorify_v his_o great_a and_o holy_a name_n for_o it_o can_v you_o remember_v how_o kind_o you_o have_v be_v invite_v how_o courteous_o receive_v how_o noble_o and_o friendly_o entertain_v by_o the_o bless_a jesus_n and_o yet_o be_v unthankful_a i_o can_v believe_v that_o any_o one_o who_o pretend_v to_o christianity_n can_v so_o far_o forfeit_v his_o religion_n and_o reason_n too_o can_v be_v so_o much_o lose_v to_o all_o the_o sentiment_n of_o piety_n and_o humanity_n at_o once_o as_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o so_o gross_a ingratitude_n unthankfulness_n in_o divinity_n be_v a_o odious_a crime_n and_o ingratitude_n in_o morality_n be_v no_o

of_o he_o be_v not_o you_o therefore_o guilty_a of_o that_o against_o god_n which_o the_o heathen_a look_v upon_o as_o so_o great_a a_o reproach_n among_o themselves_o consider_v that_o heavy_a charge_n which_o god_n draw_v up_o against_o israel_n isa_n 1.2_o 3._o hear_v o_o heaven_n and_o hearken_v o_o earth_n say_v the_o lord_n for_z i_o have_v nourish_v and_o bring_v up_o child_n but_o they_o have_v rebel_v against_o i_o the_o ox_n know_v his_o owner_n and_o the_o ass_n his_o master_n crib_n but_o israel_n do_v not_o know_v i_o my_o people_n do_v not_o consider_v let_v the_o consideration_n of_o god_n so_o deep_a resentment_n of_o this_o crime_n in_o his_o own_o people_n teach_v you_o and_o i_o to_o beware_v of_o it_o let_v we_o recollect_v ourselves_o and_o call_v to_o mind_v all_o those_o incomparable_a favour_n and_o benefit_n which_o god_n from_o time_n to_o time_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o and_o the_o advantage_n of_o this_o holy_a feast_n in_o particular_a that_o so_o our_o mind_n may_v be_v always_o ready_a to_o make_v grateful_a acknowledgement_n thereof_o 3._o when_o by_o these_o or_o the_o like_a meditation_n you_o have_v wrought_v your_o mind_n into_o such_o a_o humble_a and_o thankful_a frame_n your_o next_o work_n will_v be_v to_o evidence_n the_o truth_n and_o reality_n of_o that_o temper_n by_o action_n suitable_a thereunto_o we_o do_v not_o expect_v to_o find_v grape_n on_o thorn_n nor_o fig_n on_o thistle_n for_o as_o a_o good_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n so_o neither_o can_v a_o corrupt_a tree_n bring_v forth_o

therefore_o of_o a_o worthy_a communicant_a be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o his_o way_n of_o live_v afterward_o if_o he_o make_v conscience_n of_o what_o he_o do_v if_o he_o make_v it_o his_o great_a

the_o obligation_n which_o have_v be_v lay_v upon_o he_o at_o this_o holy_a feast_n he_o return_v with_o the_o dog_n to_o his_o vomit_n and_o the_o sow_n that_o be_v wash_v to_o his_o wallow_n in_o

paul_n give_v we_o col._n 2.6_o as_o you_o have_v receive_v christ_n jesus_n the_o lord_n so_o walk_v you_o in_o he_o thereby_o intimate_v that_o our_o return_n ought_v to_o be_v suitable_a to_o favour_n and_o benefit_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a and_o righteous_a god_n love_v holiness_n and_o righteousness_n in_o his_o people_n and_o expect_v it_o from_o they_o when_o by_o our_o baptism_n we_o be_v at_o first_o admit_v into_o christianity_n we_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n that_o we_o will_v renounce_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n the_o pomp_n and_o vanity_n of_o this_o wicked_a world_n and_o all_o the_o sinful_a desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o we_o will_v believe_v all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o that_o we_o will_v keep_v god_n holy_a will_n and_o commandment_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o same_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n now_o our_o continue_a profession_n of_o that_o faith_n into_o which_o we_o be_v baptize_v be_v indeed_o a_o daily_a repetition_n of_o that_o promise_n but_o as_o often_o as_o we_o receive_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o feast_v with_o god_n upon_o this_o holy_a sacrifice_n we_o solemn_o renew_v our_o covenant_n and_o do_v thereby_o engage_v ourselves_o to_o perform_v the_o condition_n thereof_o to_o sum_v up_o all_o in_o a_o word_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o
