He is God eternal, coequal, and substantial, with the Father, and with the holy Ghost, the Image of the substance of God, the wisdom of the Father, the brightness of his glory, by whom all things were made, are ruled and governed. He is the King of all kings, and the Lord of all lords. He is the Messiah of the world, our most dear and loving Brother, Saviour, Mediator, Advocate, Intercessor, Husband, Priest. So that the thing which cometh from him, cannot but be esteemed, loved, and ⟨p. 89⟩embraced, if dignity, authority, wisdom power, glory, goodness, and mercy like us. Yea, if any thing that can be wished, like us, then cannot this which our Lord did institute, but like us; and that so much the more, by how much it is one of the last things which he did institute and command. God open our eyes, to see these things accordingly: so shall we come with more reverence to this Table of the Lord: which thing he grant for his mercies sake. Amen.
