Touching the Author,1 he which is signified by it, was the author of it. The Lord Jesus hath bid us to supper,2 I am not worthy (saith John) to loose his shoo: so we are not worthy to wait at his trencher, and yet he will have us sit at his table.3 To him belongeth the power to ordain Sacraments in his Church, because he fulfilled the Sacraments of the Law. When Christ came, the Passover creased,4 because he is our Passover; that is, the Lamb by whose blood we are saved. When Christ came, Circumcision ceased, because he is our circumcision, that is, the purifier and cleanser of our sins.5
