A treatise concerning the Lords Supper

But do you so? Tell me, if you had been to dye this day you come so receive, would you not have prayed more than you have done? Would you not have shed more tears for your sins? would not more of your groans and sighs have pierced the Heavens, and reached the ears of God? Would you not have searched your heart more narrowly? and passed sentence upon your self more impartially? And been humbled more deeply? Would you not have said, if I be mistaken about the truth of Grace, now I am to dye, I am lost for ever? And will you not say, if I be mistaken about the truth of Grace, now I am to sit down at the Lords Table, without my serious Repentance, I am undone for ever? And instead of having the pardon of my sin sealed to my Soul, by my unworthy going, I bind the guilt of all my former sins upon my Soul, as if the other were not burden great enough. I have added this to all the rest, in making my self guilty of the blood of Christ.

But that you may receive with the same, seriousness as if you were to dye, ask your self th•se three Questions.
