With a desire of profiting, and expectation of an heavenly life, Matth. 13. Heb. 13. 13. Of the Circumcised alone. | 13. The regenerate only eat him, and he is profitable to them alone, and they only take not the Sacraments to their condemnation, Joh. 6. Heb. 13. 1 Cor. 11. 4. Whether the ancient passover be now abrogated. That the ancient passover is now by Christs coming abrogated, with all other types whatsoever, prefiguring the Messiah to come, is clear: 1. Out of the whole disputation of the Apostle to the Hebrews, touching the abolishment of the legal shadows, 1which abolishment is now performed in the New Testament. If the priesthood be changed, then of necessity must there be a change of the law. In that he saith, a New Testament, he hath abrogated the Old. 2. From the fulfilling and performance of those legal shadows. These things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled; Not a bone of him shall be broken. 2Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. 33.

Where he commandeth, that we celebrate and solemnize the supper in memory of him, not the ancient passover. As then Baptism succeeded Circumcision; so the Lords Supper succeeded the Passover in the new Testament. Certain conclusions of the Supper. 1. The Supper of the Lord is a sacrament of the new Testament, wherein, according to the commandment of Christ, Bread and Wine is distributed and received in the assembly of the faithful, in remembrance of Christ: which is, that Christ might testify unto us, that he feedeth us with his body and blood delivered and shed for us to eternal life, and that we also might, for these his benefits, give solemn thanks unto him. 2. The first and principal end and use of the Lords Supper is, That Christ might therein testify unto us, that he died for us, and doth feed us with his blood and body unto everlasting life, that so by this restification he might cherish and increase in us
