I. AT the Lords-Table, after some Serious Preparation of my Heart for that Ordinance, I found much of Christs presence enabling me▪ to Desire & heartily to close with whole CHRIST, in all His Offices, for my Saviour, who there offered to bestow His Broken Body upon me, and His Blood poured out, for the taking away of my Sins. I knew, God was Real, in giving His dear Son; And Christ Real in bestowing Himself upon me; And I was Really willing to accept of Him upon Gods Terms; For I was Really Sensible of my absolute Need of Him, and Perishing condition ⟨p. 45⟩without Him. I came not thither for Bodily Refreshment, but Spiritual; Not only to Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the Sin of the World, but to Converse with Christ, & feed upon the Flesh & Blood of the Son of God, whose Flesh is Meat indeed, and His Blood Drink indeed; that I might Live by Him Spiritually & Eternally, & might have Life in more abundance; a Life of Comfort, an increase of Grace, and Spiritual Strength. I did therefore Believe, and I do still Believe, (Lord, Help me to believe more strongly and steadfastly▪ ) That JESUS CHRIST is mine, with all His Benefits, as surely as the Bread that I eat, and the Wine that I drink; & that He will nourish my Soul to Eternal Life. Amen. Bless the Lord, O my Soul, and forget not all His Benefits.
