Support, the Protection, Care, long Suffering, Kindness, Compassion which our Father manifests to us, in public and in private; the Letters he kindly accepts from us, while we are out at School; the kind Answers he gives; the Presents he sends; the Indulgences he grants; all evidence he is our Father, and we his Children.—I now appeal to my own Soul, and to all who hear me, What know we of these Things? Examine yourselves; let a Man examine by the Touchstone of God’s Word: if the above are Things you have felt and known, in some degree, then you are welcome to the Sacrament. Approach the Table, let nothing keep you back—Obey his Commands, they are the Commands of a Father to his Children; of a King to his Subjects; of a Master to his Servants; of a Captain to his Soldiers; but, above all, the Intreaty of a dying Friend to those he loves. This leads me, 3rdly. _To answer some Objections_—there really is no end to objecting. I principally intend to answer the Objections of those who are Children of God, who through weakness of Judgment, and Faith, and for want of clear Evidences, scruple about their Right to the Lord’s Supper.—Here I scarcely know how to begin, the objections are so numerous. I will answer the few following: Some object, Because, say they, I am so very bad; I have such Evils in my Nature; such Thoughts in my Heart; such Fears I shall never be saved.—These Objections are frivolous; if you tarry till you are better, you will never come; you cannot come too bad to Jesus—_I will in no wise cast out_. You must come to every Ordinance, and to Jesus, as a Sinner, vile and polluted. Away then with that legal notion, that proud spirit! for this Objection arises from Pride: it is, in fact, saying, If I was better than I am, I should have less need of Jesus, and less need of his Grace. Besides, not any thing you feel can justify you in the breach of a plain Command.—_Do this in remembrance of me_. Another objects to the Table, because it is not essential to Salvation; then I wonder you do not object to hearing, to reading, to praying—for none of these things are essential to Salvation; and though it is not essential to your Salvation, you may find it essential to the Knowledge and Enjoyment of it. Here at the table, God has met with many. Besides this, though not essential to Salvation itself, yet it is an essential Command of the eternal Jehovah—_Do this_. Let his Word be obeyed whether essential to Salvation of not.—Another Objector says, I think it best to stay till I know more of myself and of God, and then I will come. This is acting against yourself, as well as the Command: if the Ordinances are designed to communicate Knowledge to the Mind, and you feel your need of Knowledge, you ought, above every other, to be in the use of that Ordinance, to gain a clearer Knowledge—_In the keeping thy Commands there is great reward_. We cannot get our Knowledge first, and
