And first in Dauids , and all good mens Method , to begin with Praeparation ; a part of my Text , which in this Auditory , I might happely haue spared . I speak it to Gods glory , the comfort of the Land , and your iust encouragement , that as , many of you equall your Prophets in learning , so al of you euen preuent vs in zeale to Gods cause : yet when I consider the Subiect here , I find 't was Dauid , Dauid , a man so often repeating his innocency in this Psalm , that Caietan conceiues , he wrot it in the person of Christ ( there being none but Christ capable of so much innocency ) yet euen Dauid himselfe had not so much , but he had need of Washing and Praeparation . Suffer me therefore , if not to giue light to your vnderstanding , at the least to quicken your affections : that my periods may serue as so many places of memory , to reuiue your better meditations .

And if Greatnesse might haue priuiledged this person from impurity , Dauid was a King ; if the Grace of his soule might haue freed him from the soyle of sinne ; he was a man after Gods owne heart . But let not great men put too much trust in their greatnesse ; the longer the Robe is , the more soyle it contracts ; Great power may proue the mother of great damnation . And as for puritie , there is a Generation that say ther 's no sinne in them , but they deceiue themselues , ther 's no truth in them . What euer Romes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 pretend for the power of nature , and of free-will , wee wretched sinners are taught to conceiue more truely of our owne infirmitie . Christs owne Apostle , stout Thomas , fayled in the faith of his Resurrection ; Peter ( whose Chayre is now the pretended seate of Infallibility ) denyes his Master ; Dauid , a man after GODS owne heart , hath need of washing ; and who can say , I am pure in the sight of the LORD ? Certainly , O Lord , No flesh is righteous in thy sight . No : this is the best ground of Christian felicitie ; if with Dauid we fall to a sight of our owne sinnes ; if with the Publican , we strike our owne brests , and not with the Pharisee , cast our eye so much vpon other mens faults : why should wee like Taylors , measure all men but our selues ? As if the best of vs had not sin enough of his owne to thinke on See Dauid heere cals himselfe to an account for his owne sinnes ; O Lord , I know mine iniquity , and my sinne is euer before me . Oh the powerfull effect of Christian Deuotion ! when by the reflectiue Act of the Vnderstanding , Science is turned into Conscience , and our knowledge is but the glasse of our owne imperfection , the glasse wherein the sight of our sinnes , send vs presently to God , as it did Dauid here , who makes this account onely betwixt God and his owne Soule , I , O Lord . First , Hee takes his rise from Humility , and the sight of his owne sinnes , and then hee soares vp by the wings of Faith , to the Throne of Gods mercy : I , O Lord . He sees with his owne eyes , and not only with the Church , or the Priests Spectacles , he is his owne Poenitentiary and Confessor ; heere 's no intercession by Saints , no Masses , Merits , Indulgences , Trentals , Dirges : All 's done betwixt God and him , I , O Lord . With the eye of Humility , hee lookes to himselfe and his owne misery , then with the eye of Faith , to God and his mercy , and from both these , results a third vertue of Repentance in the Act of Praeparation , washing the soyle of sinne in the Bathe of Sorrow , I will wash my hands , &c.

This washing in religious Praeparations , is a custome established euen by the Law of Nature . 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , was written vpon the doore of Diana's Temple , and therefore they euer went from Washing to Worshipping from the Lauer to the Altar : Lavabo vt rem diuinam faciam , was the common practice of the Romanes , and euen the Turkes themselues , Wash before they pray . But not to authorize so diuine a Rite from Infidels ; In the Old Law , wee finde Sanctity euer accompanied with Decency ; the Lauer was placed before the Altar , and Cleansing was euer the Praeface to Offering . And in the New Law , 't is our Sauiours Ordinance , that wee beginne with Baptizing ; and 't was his owne practice , to Wash his Apostles feete , before the LORDS SVPPER : Not that Hee would haue vs insist in the outward Act ; No , the very Legall Washing , was the instruction of inward Cleansing . And our Absolution heere , it sounds Regeneration , Repentance , Renouation .

There are two eminent Lauers in the Gospell , the first , Christs Bathe , a hot Bathe , Lavacrum Sanguinis , the Lauer of CHRISTS Bloud ; the second , Our Bathe , a cold Bathe , Lavacrum Lachrymarum , the Lauer of Repentance . These two mixed together , will proue a soueraigne Composition , wrought first by CHRIST himselfe , when Hee sweat water and bloud .

The first is as that Poole of Bathesda , into which whosoeuer enters with Faith , is healed ; The bloud of Christ is the true Lauer of Regeneration ; a Fountaine set open for Iudah and Ierusalem to wash in . The bloud of Christ purgeth vs from all sinnes , 1 Ioh. 1. 7. Wee account it Charitie in Mothers , to feede their Children with their owne Milke : How deare is the loue of Christ , that both Washeth and Feedes vs with his owne Bloud ? No sooner are wee borne in Christ , but iust as our Mothers , so Christs bloud is turned into Milke , nourishing vs to euerlasting Saluation . What is Calamus Beniamini , or Storax , or a thousand Riuers of Oyle , to make vs cleane , except the Lord purge and cleanse vs ? No , 't is His bloud that speakes better things than the bloud of Abel : Vnto Him therefore that loued vs , and washed vs from our sinnes in his owne Bloud , and hath made vs KINGS and PRIESTS to GOD His Father : to Him bee glory and dominion for euer , Reuelation 1. 5 , 6.

But yet 't is the second Bathe , the Lauer of Repentance , that must apply and make the first Operatiue . This Bathe of Mary Magdalens repentance , it is a kind of Rebaptization , giuing strength and effect to the first washing . And it implyes a threefold Act : First , To bruise our hearts by Contrition ; Secondly , To lay our wounds open by Confession to God ; Thirdly , to wash our hands in Innocency , by Satisfaction to men .

The Sacrifice of a broken heart , makes a happy way to the Sacrifice of the Altar . Lachrymae pondera vocis habent , our teares are the best Harbingers wee can send before vs , our silent Orators to GOD ; Quae veniam non postulant , sed obtinent , as Saint Ambrose saith , they speede without asking , and neuer returne from GOD without obtayning . It troubled my Soule in these times of Tryall , to perceiue the hearts of men filled with distracted thoughts , their mouthes with discontented Obloquyes : Had they turned these Passions into sound Repentance , they would soone haue found more ease to their Soules . Through this Red Sea of Sorrow , all our FATHERS were wont to passe to the Land of Promise , leauing their enemies , their sins , all swallowed vp in those Waters , and by these blessed Streames they were cleansed , not onely from ciuill and temporall , but spirituall and eternall punishments . So Abimelech , Hezekiah , Manasseh , Iob , the Niniuites . So the Israelites ; 't is true , twice they went vp to aske Councell of God , and were ouerthrowne by the Beniamites , but the third time , when they went vp to GODS House , and sate Weeping , and Fasting , from Morne till Euen , then they ouerthrew Beniamin , and Slew twenty-fiue thousand men of those that drew the Sword , Iudg. 20. 35.

This is the third time , my Worthy Auditors , that you haue come vp to this House of God , and if heretofore yee haue fayl'd of your good intentions , I feare t was for want of this vertue of Repentance . Prodigious Swearing , blasphemous Cursing , vncharitable Gluttony , swinish Drinking , grating Vsury , exacting Bribery , vniust Ambition , mercilesse Oppression : these are the sinnes that haue kindled a fire in the Land , and cal first for your teares , then for your hands to quench it . Yee now present the whole body of the Land , and therefore now before you approach the Altar , Repent for the whole body of the Land . Certainly we haue no Purgatory but true Repentance , no holy water but this , can quench the fire of Lust and Hell .

I know there is no good soule here , which is not wounded at the Common sinnes of our Nation , and yet which of vs all , haue euer happily shed one teare , either for our owne sinnes , or the sinnes of the people ? Alas ! that we should not yeelde one droppe for those offences ; which cost our Sauiour many streames of blood to wash them away . I would faine dwell vpon this sweete vertue , but your deuotions must supply , what the time detracts . And if yee cannot shedde a teare , giue a sigh for our sins ; if not that , repent that you cannot repent : our sinnes begat our sorrow , let our sorrow deuoure our sinnes , as the Worme the Tree that bred it : Wash and wash now , for , ad Aras consulere , it is too late , to wash at the Altar .

Wash now and wash all , from the Crowne of the Head , to the sole of the Foote , there is nothing in vs but Woundes , and Sores : yet aboue all , there is some-thing here in it that Dauid washeth his hands . Indeede it is not enough to come with wet eyes , if we come with foule hands , to offer 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , with vnwashen hands , The Gentiles would not do it . Contrition and Confession to God make not vp compleate Repentance , without satisfaction to men . Non remittitur peccatum August . Epist. 54 Ser. Latim . before Edw. 6. nisi restituatur ablatum , It is an true as old , and in old Father Latimers English it is , either there must be restitution open or secret , or else Hell . Whoeuer repayres not the wrong , reioyceth in the sinne . Prouerbs 2. 14. Where there is no satisfaction , Non agitur sed fingitur paenitentia , sayth Saint Augustine : and those who restore not all , wash not their whole hands ; they dippe onely the tipps of their finger . Extortion , Rapine , Bribery , these are the sinnes of the hands , ( sinnes so proper to the Iewes that they may wel conceiue as they doe , that the Diuell lies all night on their hands , and that is it makes them so Diligent in washing ) but as for vs Christians , vnlesse these Vipers bee shaken off our hands , though yee couer the Altar of the Lord with Teares , with Weeping , and with crying out , yet if you continue in your Pollutions , God regards not your offering any more , nor will he receiue it with good will at your hands . Mal. 2. 13.

But there are some that put more Arist. 3. de anima . spirit here into this Obiect , and tell vs that Dauid aymed at more then his hands . It is true , the hand is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , the actiuest part , and so put here for the whole Body , and not for the body alone , but vsually in Holy Writ for all the practick faculties and operations of the Soule ; the Vnderstanding , the Will , the Affections , the Minde , the Conscience , Administration , Counsell , All. This washing here , it is not onely Ablutio , but Balneatio , it is not a little washing , but an entire Bathing ; if any of these be vnprepared , vnwashed , hand off from the Altar . In the Popish Masse , they thinke it enough to wash the tipps of their fingers . At our Altar we must wash all , offer the whole man a liuing and an acceptable Sacrifice to God . Otherwise Pilate washt his hands , and at the same instant condemned Christ . Wee must wash , and wash thoroughly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , in innocency . This is the Integrity of the Act.

The very 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and Crowne of all our preparation , the purest Water wee can wash in , is innocency , and innocency is a vertue of the heart , as well as of the hand . Cleanse your hands Iames 4. 8. yee sinners ; and purifie your hearts yee double-Minded . I could wish our washing might be like Crprians Baptizing adtincturam , euen till wee were dyed in Repentance , and the Blood of Christ . Let the quantity of thy sins bee the measure of our Repentance . First offer thine innocency , then thy Sacrifice . It is not enough that you come this day by order , you must come with innocency . God requires the Duty of the second Table , as well as of the first : hee abhorres the outward Act of Piety , where he finds no conscience and practise of innocency .

I haue here ( my Honorable Auditory ) a large field to runne in , and you to worke in ; but I will contract my selfe within Dauids Limitation . He in this Psalme markes vs out three enemies of innocency : Dissemblers , at the fourth verse : Men of blood , at the ninth : and Bribe-takers at the tenth . Dauid ( as you this Day ) goes to the Altar , that he might seperate himselfe , and not sit with such as these are . And too many such Iebusites there are in our Israel , after whom giue me leaue to make a short inquisition .

First Dissemblers , such as our Church-Papists in whom Machiauell in the head hath gotten the aduantage of the Pope in the belly ; halfe Papists , halfe Protestants ; Like Oseas Cake , halfe baked , halfe dough : Iust Saint Austins Amphibions : Qui dum volunt esse & Iudaej , & Christianj , neque sunt Iudaej , neque Christianj . While they would bee both Papists and Protestants , they are indeede Newters and Nihils . Let all zealous soules set a brand vpon such Hermophodite Christians , as these latter times haue discouered to vs .

There is another sort of them yet , to whome wee are more beholding though it be but for their impudency , profest Dissemblers , who wil be profest Papists , and yet profest Partakers of our Altar , and they haue a reason in conscience for it too : our Sacrament is no Sacrament , they receiue it onely in a ciuill obedience , and it is no more with them , then a ciuill act . Oh the bold cunning of Sathan , whose kingdome consists in lying , without eyther memory or modesty ; in dissembling without shame or innocency ; and if any such Foxes be crept into the Vineyard of Iudah , and thinke to lurke vnder our Altar : giue me leaue to hunt them out with their owne Weapons , euen such as shall challenge the best Buckler the Diuell affoords them , their Equivocation .

First then tell me : thou profest Hypocrite . To deny Gods true Worship , is not this to deny God himselfe ? and doest not thou by ioyning in our Sacraments , deny thine owne Religion ? in thy conceite the onely true worshippe : True , but thou doest it in shew onely , not in heart , no more did Saint Peter , when he denied Christ , but he that denies me before men , I will also deny him before my Father . Matth. 10. 13. Againe , if wee be such branded Hereticks as you stile vs , our Table is as you terme it , the table of Diuells , and therefore to communicate with vs , is to shake hands with Satan , and pertake of the Table of Diuels , 1. Cor. 10. vers . 18 If yet yee will not go when the Diuel driues you , at the least let that which you preferre aboue eyther GOD or the Diuell , the power of your Church , let that exorcize you Is it not your Trent Prescription , fetcht out of Lombard , and Aquin Firmi in side non debent conuersari cum Haereticis Sent. 4. Dist. 13. q. 10. Aquin. ibid. in diuinis . Those that are firme in the Roman faith , ought not to conuerse with Hereticks in Diuine Worship . Was it thinke you well done of Saint Peter , to scandalize the Gospel by eating with the Gentils , if he do , Saint Paul will withstand him to his owne face , and so doe I you . In a word , if the curse of Rome or your owne conscience can preuaile with you , hand off from our Altar . If God bee God , follow him : if Baall bee God , away from this Holy place , follow him . Those that thus equiuocate in Gods House , what will they doe in your House , and in your Councels ? There should bee none but Dauids sonnes in Dauids assembly , but there is none of Dauids seede loue to sit with Dissemblers . vers. 4. Much lesse with such Dissemblers as lye in wayte for blood : Such as heare not the complaynts of the wronged , but build vp Syon with blood , and Ierusalem with iniquity Micah . 3. 10. Gather not my soule with sinners , nor my life with such bloody men , verse 9. But of these more anon .

The third Corrupter of innocency is he , whose right hand is full of Bribes , verse 10. Bribery , an vbiquitary vice , a sinne as fearefull as common ; as in a publike Auditory at Pauls Crosse , I haue heeretofore discouered , and though I haue knowne whole families groane vnder the burthen of it : I haue neither time , nor will to repeate any thing I then Deliuered . Onely spare me so much of your pious liberty , to commend to your Religious endeauours , one prodigious strayne of corruption , the stayne both of Religion and nature , some of the Professors whereof haue fallen within the lists of mine owne knowledge , and those are English Pensioners to For raine States . Such as sacrifice their King , their Country , their Parents , nay their Sauiour to Mammon ; such as winde into our Court , our Parliaments , our hearts ; such as eate and take Councell together with vs , but like the Traytors in the Troyan horse , fifty of them doe more hurt in one night , then fiue thousand open enemies in ten yeare . I might subioyne to these such World-wormes , as sell their consciences eyther for Court-fauour , or popular applause , pretending the Common good , but ayming at their owne .

But I make hast to the Altar , it is your washing in innocency must prepare you for that , and the zeale of that cannot but stir you vp to wash the Land from corruption . I will wind vp this point with the Prophet Esay's Character of a good Parliament , as I may call it . Wash you , make you cleane , cease to doe euill , learne to doe well , seeke iudgement , releeue the oppressed , iudge the Fatherlesse , pleade for the widdow ; then come and le ts reason together , sayth the Lord : though your sinnes be as scarlet , they shall be white as snow , though they be red like Crimson , they shall bee as white as Wool . Esay 1. 16.

Not that all this washing and innocency of ours sufficeth to salvation , without Gods Altar : If it had , it is likely Dauid would haue gone no farther : Nay euen when wee are at the Altar ; in Altari non inuenit viam , qui in Christo non inuenit causam : Not by the works of righteousnes which we haue done , but according to his mercy hee saued vs , by the washing of Regeneration , and renewing of the Holy Ghost . Tit. 3. 5. Wee see after all his washing , yet Dauid goeth to the Altar .

This is Motus , his gesture , hee doth not onely looke on it , hee goes to it : as in the old Transl . Hee doth not as most among vs , make the Temple a thorough-fare , and passe by the Altar , but with seemely deuotion hee compasseth the Altar : as in the new Tran. I might here Litigate which were the fittest gesture at the holy Table ; standing , Sitting , Walking , or Kneeling , which are all vsed in seuerall Churches . The reason of this diuersity is the generality of the Gospell Phrase , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , Matth. 26. 20. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Luke 22. 14. They both signifie leaning , or falling downe , not sitting . Dauids gesture was compassing with Hymnes and Psalmes ; and the same gesture Theodofious and Charles the Great vsed ; but I would not heere make a quarrell of a Ceremony , I leaue that to the Tithers of mint and cummin , who in the meane time let passe the more essentiall comfort of Gods Table . It is enough that the Text runnes with our Church , making humility and penitence the best preparatiue to the Altar , no gesture too low in the receite of so high a benefite , Humble your selues in the fight of the Lord , and he shall lift yee vp . Iames 4. 10. And as for this and the whole body of our Church-orders , I had it from the mouth of that Reuerend Father Paul of Venice , the worthy Author of ( that excellent discouery ) the History of the Councell of Trent , that hee esteemed the Hyerarchy of our Church , the most excellent peece of Discipline in the whole Christian World . But howeuer they esteeme it abroad , wee here at home , if wee bee not vnworthily-vnthankfull must needes confesse , that for this sixty yeares and vpwards , wee haue felt such a blessed effect of it , as no other Church nor Nation in the Christian World can paralell . And therefore to your care , and loue I commend it . Compasse you Gods Altar , with your protection , and you haue Gods owne Word for it : hee will compasse you with his prouidence , Hee will open the Chatar acks of Heauen , and power out a Blessing vppon you . Mal. 3. 10. Blesse you Gods Altar , and no question Gods Altar will blesse you .

Thus at the length , though I feare with some exercise of your patience , I haue brought you to the desired port of Health , the Altar .

The Altar ? why but that is the place where the Romanists wold haue you ; if to the Altar , then to a Masse , to a sacrifice for the Living and the Dead : God forbid . I confesse that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 come both from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , to sacrifice , Lib. 1. de miss. and with Bellarmine that an Altar properly taken , infers a sacrifice properly taken . But the words that I speake vnto you , are spirit and life . Iohn 6. 63. Our High Priest is Spirituall . Heb. 10. 22. our Priesthood , and our Sacrifice Spirituall , 1. Peter 2. 5. When wee speake properly , in our Canons and Communion Booke , wee call it with the Apostles , ( and as Bellarmine confesseth with all the Fathers to Tertullians time , 200. yeares of Christ ) The Table of the Lord , 1 Cor. 10. 21. Not but that in a Metaphorical sense we can allow it to be called Altar , and Sacrifice too : We are content to heare Saint Chrysostome call it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , a Sacrifice , if hee adde by way of explanatiall 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , rather the memoriall of a sacrifice . In this wee will subscribe to their owne Lumbard , Vocatur Sacrificium quia memoria Lib. 4. Dist. 12. est veri Sacrificij . It is called a Sacrifice because it is the memoriall of a true Sacrifice . Wee confesse it both an Altar , and a Sacrifice in Signato , though not in Signo , in the thing signified , though not in the signe . We contemplate at the Altar , the Sonne of God himselfe sweating Blood , wrestling with the wrath of his Father , torne on the Crosse , pierced to the Heart , for our sinnes . We confesse him there , as the Holy Lambe of God , really offred vp a true Propitiatory sacrifice for our sinnes , and by the Vertue of this Sacrament really sealing vp remission to our soules .

And if then we haue no other hope nor faith , but in that reall Sacrifice of Christ once offered for vs , why haue those men of blood , for this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 this word-quarrell of the Altar , sacrificed the liues of so many Deuout Confessors ? while they professe they drinke the blood of Christ , why haue they made themselues so drunke with the blood of Christians and Christian Princes ? In these men is too truly fulfilled that vision of Iohn , Reuele . 6. 9. I saw vnder the Altar , the soules of them that were killed for the Word of God , and for the Testimony which they haue maintained . Should these men escape your Zeale and Iustice , which I assure my selfe they shall not , yet God hath a cup in store for them , with which they shal one day be fully drenched . Because they haue shed the Blood of the Saints , therefore hast thou giuen them blood to drinke . Reu. 18. vers. 4. & 24.

Let such as these still offer their sacrifices which cannot take away sinnes . Heb. 10. 11. But let vs who haue an Altar whereof they haue no right to eate , Let vs holde fast the Profession of our Faith , without wauering , Hebrews 10. 23. As all Iewish sacrifices lookt forward , so all ours looke backward to the sacrifice of Christ . They were as the morning shadowes ; growing shorter and shorter till the midday , ours as the after-noone shadowes , growing longer euen till the second comming of our Sauiour , when wee shall offer the sacrifice of prayse for euer .

Let vs in the meane time with Dauid in the next verse , begin that Eucharist here ; let vs at the Altar of GOD , shew forth the voyce of thanksgiuing , and tell of all Gods wondrous Workes . The wondrous workes of our Creation , Vocation , Redemption , the wondrous worke of Gods Blessing this Land with peace , plenty , and the liberty of the Gospell ; the wondrous worke of our preseruation in 88. the wonder of wonders in our deliuery from the Gun-powder Treason ; the wondrous worke of our Royall Prince's safe returne to his Pious Fathers House : in all these the wondrous loue of God to his Deere Church , and the members thereof , his constant seruants in this Land .

And if God hath so loued vs , let not vs now fayle to loue one another : Yee haue all taken oathes heretofore , ratifie them now againe at Gods Altar , vowe one vowe more there , euen the vowe of loue and constant vnion , and the power of Grace enable you to performe it . The Altar is the proper seate of reconciliation , Mat. 5. 24. and that Holy Sacrament , as it is the best Pledge of Gods loue to vs , so of our Communion , one with another . Beleeue it Christians , the maine axiome and anuile of popish Pollicy , the very Axell whereon they winde about the whole body of their Machiauilisme in England , is our diuision and dissension ; themselues haue brag'd , that there is no way so ready to conuert a Lutheran , as by the passion of a Caluinist : no meanes so prompt to make a Protestant a Papist , as by the opposition of a Puritane . Thus they endeauour to destroy vs ( as wee destroyed their inuincible Nauy ) by sending fire , euen the fire of dissension in the midst of vs . Oh let vs beare downe this pollicy of the world , with the wisedome of the Spirit : Away with these distracting names of Lutheran , Caluinist , Puritan , &c. We are all the children of the same father , who hath begotten vs in the loue of one Mediatour , and Sanctified vs by one and the same Spirit . Christ and his spouse , the King , and his Kingdome , Christian Brother and Brother , these are they which God hath ioyned together , and cursed may hee be that endeauours to put them asunder .

I will conclude with the Vote of Paul , I beseech you brethren by the name of our Lord Iesus Christ , that yee all speake the same thing , and that there be no diuisions among you , but that you bee perfectly ioyned together , in the same minde , and the same iudgement : That so by the vnited power of charity , and a good cause yee may all march on Valiantly , and meete the aduersary in the face , constantly fighting the battell of our Elder Brother Christ Iesus , who fought to the Death , for our sinnes .

That Iesus , who for vs was made both the Priest , the Altar , and the Sacrifice , accept this your morning Sacrifice of prayse and thanksgiuing . He wash you in his blood , cloath you in his innocency , Crowne you with his Glory . He this Day at his Altar conueigh such grace into your hearts , that yee may forme all your ensuings , actions , and counsells , as if you were still at Gods Altar . To that Iesus with the Eternall Father , and Holy Spirit , wee ascribe all Prayse , Power , Glory , Dominion , in Saecula Saeculorum .
