Sacramental Meditations and Advices, for the Use of Communicants, in Preparing Their Hearts, and Exciting Their, Affections, on Sacramental Occasions (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sacramental Meditations and Advices, for the Use of Communicants, in Preparing Their Hearts, and Exciting Their, Affections, on Sacramental Occasions

Worthy communicating being a work of such impor tance, the following Scripture Meditations and Advices are humbly offered to Christians, as an help in their pre parations for it. Reading and thinking much on the sub jects here proposed may, through God's blessing, be useful to promote their habitual preparation for the holy supper. Christ's body and blood, herein exhibited, are pure and holy things, and should be received in prepared and cleansed hearts. His body never saw corruption in the grave nor will be mixed with it in hearts where corruption is allowed. It lay in a virgin's womb and in a virgin sepulchre, and will still be entertained in virgin souls and affections; in hearts purified and consecrated to God. In these Christ chooses to reside, and not in those where sin and the world, with the lusts thereof, are harboured. 0 had we grace to maintain and cherish the fear of God and the love of Christ habitually in our souls, we might, with out much pains, be prepared for coming to him at his table.
