When therefore thou art eating the bread, and drinking the wine, fee• upon Christ by a particular application of him, and all his benefits, to thine own souls comfort. By Faith assure thy self that Christ was born for thee, that he might be thy Saviour, to save th•e from thy sins. That he performed perfect obedience unto the Law, that his Righteousness might be imputed u•to thee. Thus he died a bitter cursed death to free thee from eternal death and condemnation, which thy sins had deserved. Thus thou oughtest to apply Christ with all his benefits unto thine own souls comfort. And thus to act Faith, is to eat and drink indeed, to communicate indeed.
