Yea, I am now going to set the Seal of the Covenant on my part, to renew my Covenant with thee, I am going to have Communion with thy Saints, to have the bond of Communion with all thy people to be confirmed to me, that there might be a strong bond of union and love between me and thy Saints than ever; these are the ends that I go for, this is the work that I am now going about; thus you must come in understanding, you must come with understanding, you must know what you are going about; this is that which the Apostle speaks of, when he spake of the disarming the Lords body; he rebukes the Corinthians for there sin, and show them that they were guilty of the Body and Blood of Christ, because they did not discern the Lords Body, they looked only upon the outward elements, but did not discern what their was of Christ there, they did not understand the Institution of Christ; they did not see how Christ was under those elements, both represented, and exhibited unto them: that is the first thing, there must be knowledge and understanding.
