Quest. Why? did he not suffer in his soul?
Quest. Why? did he not suffer in his soule?
Ans. Yes: for so saith the Scripture, He made ⟨p. 835⟩his soul a sacrifice for sin, Isaiah 53.10. and the Son of man came to give his soul a ransom for many, Math. 20.28. Mark 10.45. This was shadowed out by the Holocaust, or whole burnt-offering: for it noted, that the whole man should suffer. So in the Sacrament, the breaking of the bread is not referred so properly to his body: for there was not a bone broken of him, saith the holy text: but fitly to his soul, which was broken with sorrows and heaviness for our sakes: So that by the body, he means synecdochically whole Christ, but yet the body is named, because That was the outward sacrifice, that was offered for our sins on the tree.
