And this is another conside∣ration that lays upon you a ne∣cessity presently to renounce your sins, to give them a Bill of Divorce, and to withdraw from them all degrees of kindness and respect: For without this, you can be in no fit disposition to be married to Christ, and to em∣brace all the Graces flowing from him. In short, that Re∣solution
which I call a branch of Repentance, and which is indispensible required of you when you come to the Lords Table, is made up of these two things. First, Renouncing of all sin: Secondly, Embracing of all Christian Vertues. The first without the second, is but sweep∣ing the house without furnish∣ing it: And therefore when you have cleansed your Soul of the nastiness and dirt of sin, you are not to let it lye empty; but to furnish it with all those Graces commanded you in the Gospel, such especially as are required in every one coming to the Supper of the Lord. And those are chiefly three; namely, Faith, Charity, and Devotion.
