A fifth Text they have, is in Mat. 26. 29. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the Vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom. Alsted quotes, from thence they gather, it cannot be meant of Heaven, why? because there is no eating and drinking there; here is a promise by Jesus Christ, to come to them no more, till he would drink with them Wine in his Fathers Kingdom, and it cannot be unless Christ doth come in person amongst his people; and have a Kingdom to eat and drink with his people in this World.
