He did not only 414 | 79anks ro God tor it, aud beg his Bleſſing upon it, which (a+ we have before oblerved) was our Saviour's conſtant Pratiice where he did Ear Ercad, bur he jct it upart, and Conſecrated it tor ; Part ot is lift Supper. It fecmeth very probable, that this j: 75 be underſtood here in the Word, Bleſſed it. For altho the Jews and our Saviour ordinarily uted a fhort Prayer and Tharbs:;1;n; betore they did Eat Mear, thereby fhewing' that they oirned God as the Giver of thoſe things, and depended upon him jor a Bleffing upon them, yer we no where Read, thar they Gid 6 during the ſame Meal,as often as they put Bread into their Mout';s, Luke (as we heard betore) made a particular mention of Gyr Saviour's Bletſing the Patchal Supper. The mentioning of yr Saviour's Bleſſing of this Bread, mani:eſtly leadeth us to a ney Nonon, and Inftirutzon, and the repeating of it again, v, 2 upon his taking the Cup, doth yer turther confirm it, thar yr

Thoſe who can think otherwiſe, muſt preſume that our Lord changed his Poſture, which I am ſure 15 not to be proved from any place of Holy Writ, {41d ſaid, Take, Eat, this is my Body, (Luke adds) which is givin fir you. Do this in Remembrance of me. | Paul puts all together, I Cor. II. 24. only for Given he faith Brohen. What Conteſts have been, and yet are berwixt' the Papifs, Lutherans, and Zuinglians (iince called Calviniss) about the true Senfe of thote Words, This is my Body, every one knows. The Papiſ; make the Senſe this ; This Bread onee Conſecrated by the Priest, 15 ft eſent- 'y turned into the very Biily and Blood of Chri, which every Commu- nicant Eateth. Hence are their Adorations to it, their E/evatins of it, their carrying ic about in Sofemn Proceſſions, &c, The Lt therans, tho' they fee the Grofs Abſurdities of this Senſe, yerſay, That the true and real Body and Blood of Christ, in its true Subſtance, 1s preſent with the Bread and Wine in the Sacrament, and Eaten ty every Communicant, Both theſe Opinions agree in this Abſurdity, Thar Chriſt's Body now muſt be no true Humane Body, for ve know that all true Humane Bodies are ſubje& to our Sen/es; and in one place, that they cannot at the ſame time be in another, much lets a Thouſand, or Ten Thouſtnd Places ar the ſame time. Bur ne!- ther rhe Papi nor the Lutherans will hear of any Arguments trom that Head, bur ſtick to the Letrer of our Saviour's Words. The Zuinglians ſay the meaning is, This ſiznifieth my Body, In tie ſame Senſe, as it 15 faid, Ch;i8 is theWay, a Door, aVine, a She) herd; and it 1s faid of the Lamb, Exod. 12. 11, This is the Lord» Paſſer ;, yer they are far from making this Ordinance a bare empty Sign, bur do acknowledge ir a Sacred Inſtitution of Chiriti in the Goſpel, in the Obſervation of which he doth vouchſate his Spiritual Preſence, ſo as every true Believer worthily recct- ving, doth Really and Truly partake of the /ody and Blood of Chill: char is, all Benefirs of his bleſſed Death, and Paſſion, which 15 un- doubredly all intended by our Saviour in thefeWords ; and when he faith, Tke, Eat, he means no more, than that true Believe! ſhould by the Hand of their Body take the Bread, and with hci bodily Mouths ear ir,and ar che fame time by che Hand and Moutti of Faith, receive and apply all the Benefits of his Bleſſed Death and Paſſion ro their Souls; and that they ſhould do this 7 we membrance of him ; that is, (as the Apoſtle, 1 Cir. 11. 26. & pounds ir) ſhewing forth the Lord's Death till he come.
