A good Wish about the Lords Supper, wherein the former Heads are Epitomized.
A good Wish about the Lords Supper, wherein the sormer Heads are Epitomized.
The Lords Supper being one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian Religion, 1a lively representation of my dearest Saviours bleeding passion, and blessed affection, and a real taste of that eternal Banquet which I shall hereafter eat of in my Fathers house at his own Table, I wish in general that I may never distaste the person of my best friend by abusing his picture; that I may not go to the Lords Table as Swine to their trough, in my sin and pollution, but may receive those holy elements into a clean heart. 2O that my lamp might be flaming and my vessel filled with oil, when ever I go to meet the Bridegroom! I wish in particular that my soul may be so throughly affected with Christs special presence at this sacred Ordinance, that I may both prepare for it, and proceed at it with all possible seriousness and diligence. O let me never be so unworthy and impudent as to defile that holy Feast before the Authors face.
