so this comfortable medicine of the soul undecently received, tendeth to our greater harm and sorrow. And saint Paul 1saith: He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation. Wherefore that it be not said to us, as it was to the guest of that great supper, Friend how camest 2thou in, not having the marriage garment? And that we may fruitfully use Saint Pauls counsel, Let a man prove him self, and so eat 3of that bread, and drink of that cup: We must certainly know, that three things be requisite in him which would seemly, as becometh such high mysteries, resort to the Lords table. That is, First, a right and a worthy estimation and understanding of this mystery. Secondly, to come in a sure faith. And thirdly, to have newness or pureness of life to succeed the receiving the same.
