The last thing to be considered, is the necessity of this Sacrament of the Passover, and so consequently of the Lords Supper, instituted in the room thereof. That there was a necessary observation of it, appears in two respects: First, because it was expressly and simply commanded of the Lord, vers. 14. Secondly, because of the penalty laid upon those that should wilfully neglect, or contemn it, vers. 15. for although only this particular Rite of unleavened bread be here expressed, yet by a Synecdoche we must understand it of the whole Ordinance, so that the contempt or neglect is not only of this rite, but of the whole Ordinance, as appears by comparing this with Numb. 9.13.

That we may more distinctly see wherein this necessity consists, we are to consider in general; that a thing is then said to be necessary, without which another thing cannot be. Now this is used in two respects; first, for a thing that is absolutely necessary, without which a thing cannot possibly be, so as are ⟨p. 188⟩the causes of things said to be necessary. Thus Christs death is absolutely necessary for our salvation.
