Secondly, •f you would walk and live as becometh one that hath been at the Table of the Lord, you must,
1. Endeavour to live and walk as Christ did when he was here upon the Earth. When, you have been commemorating Christs death, you must come away purposing to imitate his life. For as Christ in his sufferings hath left us an example how we ought to suffer, 1 Pet. 2 21. So Christ in his life hath left us an example how we ought to live, 1 John 2.6. Then you will walk suitably to that Ordinance, which is a Commemoration of Christs death, when you tread in his steps while he lived upon the Earth.
2. Walk and live as one that is redeemed by the Blood of Christ should live. In the Sacrament you have seen the greatness of the price ⟨p. 154⟩that was paid for you to redeem you from the Torments of Hell, from the Wrath of God, the Curse of the Law, the Power of Sin: Here it is, you see you are redeemed and bought, and therefore you are no longer your own, but his that died for you: 1 Cor. 6.19• And ye are not your own; ver. 20. For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God, in your B•dy, and in your Spirit, which are God• ▪ Oh how should a man redeemed from eternal torments walk and live?
