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.

8. Unsuitable walking after this Ordinance, will be great unthankfulness unto God for the giving of his Son, and all the Privileges you have been partakers of by him. It is not your praising God with your lips, but chiefly with your lives; not only in your words, but principally in your works, that will prove you truly thankful unto God. All that God requires from you for all the blessings purchased by the death of Christ, and made over to you in the Sacrament, is that you should be thankful unto him, and to improve them to his praise and glory; but you cannot have a thankful heart, if you have not a suitable conversation.
