Here I am to speak of the second service, as it were, at the Lords Table, and of that preparation, which is like the Wedding Garment, that every man must bring to this Banquet. These words are diversly repeated of the Evangelists. Here it is said, This ¹cup is the New Testament in my Blood. In Matthew and in Mark it is said, This cup is my blood of the New Testament. This is the first mention which Christ makes of a Testament, as though now his promises deserved the name of a Testament, because the Seal is set unto them, which before this Sacrament was not sealed, but like a bare writing without a Signet. This word Testament, ⟨p. 24⟩doth imply a promise, and therefore teacheth us, that the Sacrament doth confirm, and strengthen, and nourish our Faith, because it sealeth the promise which we should believe.
