A SERMON Preached after the Communion,
On Psal. 85.8. He will speak Peace to his People and to his Saints: but let them not turn again to Folly.
IT is hard to know in Spiritual exercises, whether it be more difficult to attain some good frame, or to keep & maintain it, when it is attained: whether more seriousness is required for making peace with God, or for keeping of it, when made: whether more diligence should be in preparing for a Communion, or more watchfulness after it: sure, both are required, and it was our Blessed Lords word, Matth. 26.41. after the first celebration of this his Supper, Watch and pray that ye enter not into Temptation: Here that saying holds eminently, non minor est virtus, quam quaerere, parta tueri: No less virtue and valour is requisite to maintain, then •o make a purchase or Conquest.
