8. The Frequency of attending upon God •t his Table: As oft as ye do this.
9. The End for which we should approach unto the Table of the Lord: Do this in remembrance of me: Whenever we celebrate the Lords Supper, we commemorate the Lords Death.
10. The Time, how long this Ordinance must be used in the Church, Till the Lord shall come. The Lord will come, and till then this Sacrament must continue; but when he comes to take us to himself into his glorious Kingdom, we shall need this and other▪ Ordinances no more: When the end is attained, the means shall cease; but as the Sacraments of the Old Testament did continue till Christs first coming in the flesh; so the Sacraments of the New-Testament shall continue till Christ's second coming in Glory.
11. A serious Admonition of the Apostle, that those that come to this Ordinance, be careful how they eat of this Bread, and drink of this Cup, ver. 27. Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this Bread, and drink this Cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. Unworthy receiving is a great aggravation of their sin and guilt, who shall presume in their heart so to do.
