C Yes, because, 1. I cannot act what Grace I have without Gods assistance, John 15.5. 2. The duty is solemn and weighty. 3. Though God will give the blessings of the Covenant of Grace, yet he will be sought unto for them, Ezek. 36.37.
M. Is it sufficient for your worthy Receiving, that you have found these graces in your heart, and prayed to God before you go?
C. No; But I must see that my End be right, and that I behave my self as I ought, while I am there.

Hope of Eternal Life: 6. To renew my Covenant with God: 7. To quicken me to Obedience: 8. To make me thankful to God for his mercy bestowed upon me in Christ: 9. To get power against my sins: And 10 Especially to remember & show forth the Death of Christ.
