7thly. This Covenant makes all the Blessings thereof sure to all Believers, because it is confirmed and ratified by the Blood of the Testator Jesus Christ: That Covenant that is confirmed and ratified by Christ's Blood, must needs be sure to all the Seed, and secure all Blessings in it to them. We have also as a Sign and Token of this Confirmation of the New Covenant, the Ordinance of the Lord's Supper; This is the Blood of the New Covenant that is shed for you, to make Peace for you, to procure Justification, Reconciliation, pardon of Sin, and Eternal Life for you: it is sealed to you by the Spirit through my Blood; take, eat this, and drink this in token of it, as an Assurance of it.
