If being thus prepared, thou feelest that thou hast a corrupt and rebellious heart, know this: that then thou art well disposed to the Lords table, when thou art lively touched with a sense of thy crooked disposition. Luk. 4.18. The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me, that I should preach the Gospel to the poor: he hath sent me, that I should heal the broken hearted, that I should preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, that I should set at liberty them that are bruised. Mat. 15.24. He answered, and said, I am not sent, but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Lords Supper is a medicine to the diseased and languishing soul: and therefore men must as well seek to purify and heal their hearts in it, as to bring pure and sound hearts unto it.
