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

2. Let us show forth Christ by our heavenly affections. Let our sighs and breathings after God, go up as a cloud of incense. Col. 3. 2. Set your affections on things above. We should do by our affections, as the Husbandmen do by their Corn; if the Corn lie low in a damp Room, it is in danger to corrupt; therefore they carry it up into their highest Room, that it may keep the better. So our affections, if set upon the Earth, are apt to corrupt, ⟨p. 104⟩and be unsavoury; therefore w• should carry them up on high above the World, that they may be preserved pure; breathe after fuller discoveries of God; desire to attain unto the resurrection of the dead, Phil. 3. 11. The higher our affections are raised towards Heaven, the sweeter joy we feel. The higher the Lark flies, the sweeter it sings.
