The holy Eucharist, or, The mystery of the Lords Supper briefly explained

Resp. Thou hast the more need to go: Drink of this Wine for thy often infirmities, 1 Tim. 5. 23 Were it not strange for a man to argue thus, My body is weak and declining, therefore I will not go to the Physician; he should the rather go. Our weakness should send us to Christ; his blood is mortal to sin, and vital to grace. Thou sayest, thou hast defects in thy soul; if thou hadst none, there would be no need of a Mediator, nor ⟨p. 82⟩would Christ have any work to do: Oh therefore turn thy disputing into believing, be encouraged to come to this Blessed Supper; Thou shalt find Christ giving forth his sweet influences, and thy grace shall flourish as an herb.
