As some Prayer may be at all times, and some Rejoicing 1may be at all times; so some Examination is at all times. Thus Job examined himself every day, nay, every hour, because he scanned all that he did.

But there is a special examination before the Sacrament, because it is the Bread which is received to salvation or damnation; because it is the Feast, to which whosoever cometh without 1his Wedding Garment, shall be cast into utter darkness; because it is a seal which sealeth a curse or a blessing.
- 11 Cor. ii. 29. Mar. 22. 11
Therefore having observed that Examination is the necessariest lesson in Christianity, and less known than other, I have studied since my Sermon to lay down three Examinations which you should use at all times, and a special Examination, for the Communicants Catechism, which leadeth immediately to the Sacrament as a Guest is handed to the Table. In the first Examination I will show thee a Rule how thou shalt try others Spirits, and how thou shalt try thine own.
