But before I come to inforce the act or duty which our Saviour heere exhorts unto, I must unfold the object of that act, what is meant heere by the meate that endures to everlasting life.
The meat that endures to everlasting life is our blessed Saviour Christ Jesus, as he is contained and wrapped up in the means of salvation, with all the blessed liberties, privileges, and prerogatives, graces and comforts that we have by him and in him: for our blessed Saviour never goes alone, he is never embraced naked, but with him goes his graces, comforts, prerogatives and liberties; we have him not now as we shall see him face to face hereafter in Heaven, but he is to be considered as wrapped up in the Word and Sacraments, so is ⟨p. 176⟩Christ the food that lasts to everlasting life, and in this latitude we must take it, or else we mistake and straiten the Holy Ghost.
