An introduction to the sacrament, or, A short, plain, and safe way to the communion table being an instruction for the worthy receiving of the Lords Supper / collected for and familiarly addressed to every particular communicant.

LXXIII.

And because boldness herein may prove as dangerous as di∣strust, the Confident have need to advise with the holy Guide, as well as the Doubting; and both had best to relie upon more equal and impartial Judgments than their own. For men are generally inclin'd to side with a too good opinion of them∣selves; which makes it dange∣rous to trust our own Verdict in the great concernment of our Soul, and even necessarie more than once to consult with a Spi∣ritual Guide; to the end we may receive from him such di∣rections as may, through God, keep us from splitting upon ei∣ther of those opposite Rocks, too great Confidence, or too great Distrust.
