Excerpt from An Help and Exhortation to Worthy Communicating: Or, a Treatise Describing the Meaning, Worthy Reception, Duty, and Benefits of the Holy Sacrament, and Answering the Doubts of Conscience, and Other Reasons, Which Most Generally Detain Men From It He treats us with the most magnificent Fare, presenting That to us for our Food, which one would think were not to be Eaten, but Adored, even the most sacred Body and Blood of his own Son, in which he conveys to us all the Benefits of our Redemption. And being thus apt to excite in us the highest Devotion, and to inrich us with the greatest Fulness of Grace and Blessing, one would expect it should be had in Reverence, and most thankfully received by every Christian. But yet in our Days, what Part of Religion doth so generally suffer, or is so universally neglected among Men? For the greatest Numbers have either little or no Reverence at all for it, or too much, which makes them afraid of it. They neglect it thro' Carelessness and causeless Scruples, or profane it by unworthy and disrespectful Usage: So that among all the Professors of Christianity, few pay that Honour to their Lord, or secure that Benefit to themselves by receiving, which he intended All should do.
