Thirdly, If you do not live as becomes one ⟨p. 158⟩that hath been at the Table of the Lord, consider the greatness of your Sin in these aggravations of it. If you live a loose and carnal life, after you have partaken of this Ordinance.
1. You break Covenant with God, and those promises which you made to him of better obedience: you did again resign your self to be the Lords; If you did not, that was your sin• if you did, and do not answer it in your life, this is your sin.
2. You dishonour Christ, if you live not suitably to this Ordinance; You profess your self to be one of his Disciples, else what did you there? If you be, and do not live accordingly, you dishonour him whom you there have seen so much vilified and reproached by others for you, and yet shall he be reproached by others, by reason of you.
3. You do grieve the Spirit of God, if you live not holily after the Sacrament! Did not the Spirit of God come and bea you witness that you were a Son of God, and did secretly and powerfully persuade your heart, that God through the death of his Son was reconciled to you, and that you sins were pardoned, and that your Soul should be saved when you di; and must not this be a grief unto him to see you walk so unworthy of his love?
