This is to those among you, that have engaged their Hearts to approach unto God this Day. But if there he any come hither with a false, unbelieving, filthy, hard Heart, I do warn you seriously, and with Authority, in the Name of Jesus Christ, presume not to come any nearer to this sacred Ordinance, you that live in the practice of any Sin, or the omission of any Duty against your Knowledge and Conscience; you that have any Malice or Grudge to any of your Neighbours, leave your Gift and go your ways; be reconciled to God, be reconciled to your ⟨p. 52⟩Brother, and then come—! Better shame thy self for coming so near, than damn thy self by coming nearer: I testify to those, who say they shall have Peace, though they go on still in their Trespasses, that there's Poison in the Bread; take it and eat it at your own Peril; there's Poison in the Cup too, you drink your own Damnation: I wash my Hands from the guilt of your Blood, look you to it. On the other hand, you poor penitent Souls that are lost in your selves, here's a Christ to save you, Come, O come ye that are weary and heavy laden, &c.
