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.

6. Unsuitable walking after you have been at the Lords Table, will cause you to lose much of your ho•y confidence when you go again It will much hinder your application of Christ unto your self, that you cannot with that holy confidence say, This Christ did die for me; especially if you be not deeply humbled for your failing before you come again.
7 Unsuitable walking after this Ordinance, wil• provoke the Lord to withdraw from you, and to leave you in a deserted state, to leave you to the dullness and the deadness of your heart; to take away his comforts from your heart, and to conceal his love from your Soul, till you learn to walk more worthy of it.
