11. Chapter, where he saith, Let a man try him selfe, and then eate of this bread, and drinke of this cuppe, &c. that is, You shall not account nor reckon your selfe to be holy, not condemne other men, not des∣pise other men, not be quarelling, but diligently looke about, howe néedie and miserable you your selfe be, howe déepe you sticke in sinne, howe muche faith and other ghostly giftes you lacke, howe much you are bound and indebted vnto God, for many things, whereof you are not able to pay the least.
Thinke vpon, and remember these and suche like pointes, howe you may haue remedy, and be holpen. And séeing that Christ in this sacrament, hath pro∣mised you all these thinges, it behoueth you with earnest desire to séeke there. Here is the best proofe & preparatiō vnto this sacrament, that a man with all ear∣nestnes behold his own miserie, griefe, sinne, temptation, trouble, and begge∣rie, &c. whereby he might lay downe his Peacockes taile, and humble him selfe, and be as hungrie and gréedie after the

helpe and grace of God, as a man is de∣sirous to eate after sower lettice. This is the right hunger to this meate. Oh that we knewe in what daunger we stand, what lacke we haue, howe déepe we sticke, then would we be desirous to this sacrament, and make as much haste therevnto, as the thirstie Hart maketh to the waters.
