What doth it signifie?
The passion and sufferings of Christ, with all the torments he endured for our sins both in body and soul; his blessed body being bruised and crucified, his precious blood shed (trickling and streaming down from him to all parts of the ground) and his righteous soul poured out unto death, Isa. 53. 5. & 10. 12. Heb. 9. 14. That Christ himself of his own accord offered his body to be broken, and his blood to be shed upon the Cross: And that as the Bread nourisheth not, if it remain whole and unbroken; so there is no life for us in Christ, but in as much as he died.
