4 Y•u discredit your Prof•ssion, and cause the Holy ways of God to be evil spoken of: if you lead not an Holy life after you have been at the Table of the Lord, those that will not be holy themselves will blame you, ⟨p. 159⟩and reproach your profession if you be •o, holy. Such a man goes to the Sacraments and yet will be unjust, and yet is vain in hi• discourse, and we see but little difference betwixt his life and ours; and so will •e hardened in their evil ways, and be prejudiced against Religion, by the Unsuitable Conversations of those that do profess it.
5. F•lling into Sin, which you have purposed and resolved against at the Lords Supper, will […] wound your Conscience, and disturb your peace; When Conscience shall tell you. You resolved against this sin, and yet you have committed it; you promised to be more watchful against the occasions and appearances of this evil, but you have wilfully run into the commission of it, or when tempted to it; you willingly consented.
