⟨When⟩ he hath only ſaid to us; Eat, O friends; ⟨and⟩ Drink, O beloved? When he only invites ⟨us⟩ to his table, to the beſt and moſt delicious ⟨feaſt⟩ that we can partake of on this ſide heaven?
⟨If⟩ we ſeriouſly believe the great bleſſings which ⟨are⟩ there exhibited to us, & ready to be ⟨conferred⟩ upon us, we ſhould be ſo far from neglecting ⟨them⟩, that we ſhould heartily thank God for ⟨every⟩ opportunity he offers to us of being made ⟨partakers⟩ of ſuch benefits. When ſuch a price ⟨is⟩ but into our hands ſhal we want hearts to ⟨make⟩ uſe of it? Me thinks we ſhould long ⟨withſtand⟩ (who ſaw but the ſhadow of theſe ⟨bleſſings⟩) to be ſatisfied with the good things of ⟨God's⟩ houſe, and to draw near his altar; and ⟨ſhould⟩ cry out with him, O when ſhal I come ⟨and⟩ appear before thee! my ſoul longeth, yea even ⟨fainteth⟩ for the courts of the Lord, and my fleſh ⟨crieth⟩ out for the living God. And if we had a juſt ⟨eſteem⟩ of things, we ſhould account it the ⟨greateſt⟩ infelicity and judgment in the world to be ⟨debarred⟩ of this priviledge, which yet we do ⟨deliberately⟩ and frequently deprive our ſelves of.
We exclaim againſt the Church of Rome with ⟨great⟩ impatience, and with a very juſt ⟨indignation⟩, for robbing the People of half of this ⟨bleſſed⟩ Sacrament, and taking from them the ⟨cup⟩ of bleſſing, the cup of ſalvation; and yet we can ⟨patiently⟩ endure for ſome moneths, nay years, ⟨to⟩ exclude our ſelves wholly from it. If no ſuch ⟨great⟩ benefits and bleſſings belong to it, why do ⟨we⟩ complain of them for hindring us of any part ⟨of it⟩? But if there do, why do we by our own ⟨neglect⟩ deprive our ſelves of the whole?
