1. The necessity of them, to a worthy partaking of the Lords Supper.

For Jesus Christ the only Son of God, and Saviour of man, is the greatest evidence ⟨p. 116⟩of Gods Love, that ever was, or can be. Should God set himself to make another world, and to confer on that world a greater gift than he hath conferred on this world, namely, his only begotten, and dearly beloved Son, we may boldly say, he could not. Neither can the creatures receive, nor the Creator give a greater gift, and that both in regard of the excellency of the gift it self, and also in regard of the need wherein we stood thereof, and of the good we reap thereby. Therefore Gods love in this evidence thereof, is so set out, as goes beyond all expression. God so loved the world, ¹that he gave his only begotten Son, &c. So unutterably, so unconceivably, so infinitely, as who shall endeavour to express this SO to the full, shall do it but So, So. Seeing then such an evidence of such love of God to man, is set out at the Lords• Table; should not every one who approacheth thereunto, to partake of that evidence of Gods love, come with an heart filled with a love to God, and with a resolution to show forth all fruits of a true love of God on all occasions?
