M. Now I understand you mean the Lords Supper: And I have heard indeed of s•me that have partaken thereof, that great and precious things are there prepared.
S. Yes, there are, and methinks I feel my heart to burn within me, while I am speaking of them, and of the love of him that hath prepared them and called me unto them.
W. Surely you will be much delighted when you are there, since your heart is thus raised as you are going to it.
S. Raised! through the mercy of my God, at this time it is, but sometimes it is not so, but I am without a sense and feeling of the Love of God, yet then I should not dare to absent my self from this Holy Supper, for when I am without the sense of the love of God, I then endeavour to keep upon my heart a sense of my duty towards him, and of my wants, to fetch supplies from him by this and other means, as he hath appointed in his Word.
