1When he had given thanks.] Matthew and Mark say of the bread, When he had blessed; of the cup, When he had given thanks: Luke and Paul say of the bread, When he had given thanks: Wherefore, To bless, and to give thanks, both signify one thing: neither can the mystery of Popish magical consecration be cloaked under these terms. Christ therefore blessed, that is, he gave thanks; namely, to his Father (not to be bread) for spiritual blessings, I mean, for the satisfying of souls: that his office being now performed and finished on earth (his last act yet remaining to be ⟨p. 433⟩done) the time of his dying for the redemption of the elect was at hand: that thus it had pleased the Father to redeem mankind; or that the typical Passover was abolished, and the signified Passover was now exhibited, and a memorial of him was to be signed to the Church: or lastly, he gave thanks for the admirable and wonderful gathering and preserving of the Church.
