This cup is the new Testament.] Or, the Covenant, as both the* Greek and* Hebrew word admitteth. Now, it is called the new covenant; that is, renewed, or (to speak in a word) fulfilled. And this new covenant is our reconciliation with God, the communion and participation of Christ and all his benefits by faith in the sacrifice of Christ now fulfilled and finished, without any observation of the ceremonies of the old Passover. The Supper is called the new Covenant, 3because it is a sign and a seal of this covenant, signifying and sealing unto us our reconciliation with God, and our conjunction with Christ, which is wrought by faith. Now Christ, in calling the Supper the new Covenant, 1. Comprehendeth both the promise, and the condition which is expressed in the promise; namely, our faith and repentance: whereof also it followeth, that the Supper was for this cause also instituted, that it might be a bond to bind us to lead a Christian life. 2. He maketh an opposition between the new Covenant, and the old Covenant, which was the Passover; together with the rites thereof: For the Supper signifieth Christ offered; the Passover signifieth Christ who should be offered. There is notwithstanding no small similitude and agreeing of both; for both signify our reconciliation with God, and conjunction with Christ. Hence also we conclude, that the drinking of Christs blood is not corporal: for the new Testament is but one, and all the elect before Christs birth appertain thereunto.
