Again, they bring a place of Malach. chap. 1. v. 11. from the rising of the sun, unto the going down of the same, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name and a pure offering. But I answer, that where they infer that the body of Christ is offered up in the Supper, because it is a clean or pure offering, the argument is false, because it will not follow from the general to the special affirmatively. And it is very manifest to any man of understanding, that Malachi here speaketh, as the aProphets, of the spiritual worship of the new Testament, under the shadows of the ceremonial worship used in the old.
