1. Some that are truly gracious, do live long in the neglect of this heart-warming affection-inflaming, grace-strengthening Ordinance.

Others whom God calls and hath prepared it for, will not be prevailed with to come unto it.

2. Some that though they do approach unto it, yet it is but very seldom.
3. Some that do come, and that often, are too careless and remiss, that they do not endeavour to prepare themselves, as a work of that weight and consequence doth require; and herein some of Gods own people are blame worthy.
