A saint or a brute the certain necessity and excellency of holiness, &c. ...…

This is a holy Feast that is purposely provided by the King of Saints, for the entertainment of his family; for the refreshing of the weary, and the making glad the mournful soul. The night before his bitter Death, he instituted this Sacramental Feast! He caused his Disciples to sit down with him, and when they had partook of the Passover, the Sacrament of Promise, and had their taste of the old wine, he giveth them the New, even the Sacrament of the better Covenant, and of the fuller Gospel-Grace: He teacheth them that his Death is Life to them: and that which is his bitterest suffering, is their Feast: and his Sorrows are their Joys; as our sinful pleasures were his sorrows. The slain Lamb of God our Passover that was sacrificed for us, that taketh away the sins of the world, was the pleasant food; which Sacramentally he himself then delivered to them, and substantially the next day offered for them. The bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world, John 6. 33. He is the Living Bread which came down from Heaven: If any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that he giveth is his flesh, which he hath given for the life of the world. ver. 50, 51. Except we eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, we have no life in us: Whoso eateth his flesh and drinketh his blood, hath Eternal life, and he will raise him up at the last day: For his flesh is meat indeed, and his blood is drink indeed: He that eateth his flesh, and drinketh his blood, dwelleth in Christ, and Christ in him: As the Living Father hath sent the Son, and he liveth by the Father, so he that eateth him, shall live by him. This is that bread that came down from Heaven: not as the Fathers did eat Ma••• and are dead: he that eateth this bread shall live for ever.]
