A. When I saw the Bread broken, and heard the Minister say, Thus was Christ's Body broken for you; and saw him pour out the Wine, and heard him say, Thus was the Blood of Christ shed for you; and when •e did distribute both, and I did take and eat, did take ⟨p. 209⟩and drink, I did believe that God was really, though invisibly dealing forth his Son, and all his benefits to me, as well as unto others; & I was enabled to apply him particularly to my self, and take him as my own: Then, Oh then my heart was warmed with love, and filled with joy.
D. When else?
A. When the Congregation was singing forth the praises of the Lord, my Soul being satisfied as with marrow & fatness, my mouth, my heart, my All did praise him; and now my love, my faith, my joy, my sorrow for my sin, were stirring in my heart.
D. And how do you know that this is true and spiritual joy, and not such which an Hypocrit• might have at the Table of the Lord?
