Ought we not to go blushing, ashamed, and deeply humbled on many accounts, and particularly for our ingratitude for redeeming love, that love which and for our contempt of God's unspeakable gift, the greatest sin in the world; yea, we should go wondering that we are out of hell, for many, thousands are burning there who have not sinned so heinously, in making light of precious Christ.

Excerpt from Sacramental Meditations and Advices, Grounded Upon Scripture Texts: Proper for Communicants, to Prepare Their Hearts, Excite Their Affections, Quicken Their Graces, and Enliven Their Devotions, on Sacramental Occasions; And Likewise Useful to Promote Gracious Dispositions and Resolutions in Christians, at All Times, Upon

The eternal Son of God, when taking his leave of and ungrateful world, instituted the saerament of the Supper, as a lively resemblance and memorial of his bloody sufferings and death in the room of his people; and also to be a bright and lasting evidence of, the-amazing love of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, to perishing sinners.

As God once sent his Son into the world ma lowly habit, clothed with human flesh, to save sinners, so now he sends him in a homely dress, clothed with the elements of bread and wine, to assure us of his love, and to engage us to come to him. Kings expect that their children will be respected, though their officers be neglected. Surely (saith God) "They will reverence my Son;" they will make him welcome, and hearken to him.

In this most august ordinance of the New Testament, the great God approaches very near to us, and we to him; and vet it is to be deeply regretted, that many who profess to believe this, come to it with so little thought and preparation, and with so much indifference and carelessness of spirit. - Oh, shall we venture so near the great God, who is infinitely holy, in whose sight the heavens are not pure, and in whose presence the sun and stars are dimmed, and the brightest seraphims do gather in their wings, and account themselves as little flies before him! and shall we, who are creatures so mean and so vile, be careless and unconcerned, when we make the nearest approach to this great and holy God, that v.e can make on this side heaven.

Ought we not to go blushing, ashamed, and deeply humbled on many accounts, and particularly for our ingratitude for redeeming love, that "love which passeth knowledge," and for cur contempt of "God's unspeakable gift," the greatest sin in the world; yea, we should go wondering that we are out of hell, for many thousands are burning there who have not sinned so heinously, in making light of precious Christ, us we have done.
