A. Yes. He that cometh to CHRIST, and believeth on him, shall never hunger, nor thirst, but shall have everlasting life, John VI 35, 40.  
Q. When you take, and eat, and drink bodily the Bread and Wine, do you spiritually, and by faith, feed on CHRIST crucified?  
A. Yes. The cup that is blessed, is the communion of the blood of CHRIST; and the bread which is broken, is the communion of the body of CHRIST, 1 Cor. X. 16.  
Q. Is it not a dangerous thing to receive this Bread and Wine unworthily?  
A. Yes. Whosoever eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, 1 Cor. XI. 29.  
Q. Ought you not then diligently to examine yourself beforehand, whether you be worthy or no?  
A. Yes. Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup, 1 Cor. XI. 28.  
Q. Are you to examine if you be a good Christian, keeping faith and covenant with GOD?  
A. Yes. We must examine ourselves, whether we be in the faith; and prove our own selves, till we know our own selves, how that CHRIST is in us, 2 Corinth. XIII. 5.  
Q. Doth your eating CHRIST confirm more and more your union with CHRIST?  
A. Yes. He that eateth CHRIST's flesh, and drinketh his blood, dwelleth in CHRIST, and CHRIST in him, John VI 56.  
Q. Shall you not be condemned if you be in CHRIST, or a good Christian?  
A. No. There is no condemnation to them that are in CHRIST JESUS, Rom. VIII. 1.
