A treatise concerning the Lords Supper

4. But this will be manifest, that Christ i• more willing than you, in that he did die more willingly for you, than you •an for him; He did die more willingly to make you holy, than you can for holiness sake, or for his sake, when you are made holy; hath he died for you, to purchase Holiness, and Grace, and Glory for you, and yet will you think that you are willing, and not Christ? Nay, Christ was more willing to die for you, than you are to live to him, and was he not yet willing? when you think Christ is not willing, think upon the Sorrows, the […] Sufferings he endured in his Body, […] •oul, how he sweat as it were great drops of Blood; nay, bled and died for you, and then say no more you are willing, but Christ is not.

Doubt But you will reply▪ If Christ died for me. I should not doubt but he is willing to give himself, and his Grace, and his Kingdom to me, but that is my fear, in that I am not satisfied; and therefore I cannot in the Sacrament Commemor his Death, because I cannot see he died for me.
