The holy Eucharist, or, The mystery of the Lords Supper briefly explained

1. It is a reconciling blood: Col. 1. 21. ^1*You that were sometime alienated, and enemies, yet now hath he reconciled through death. No sooner was the Message brought to King David, Uriah is dead, 2 Sam. 11. 21. but the anger of David was removed. No sooner was the blood of Christ poured out, but God's anger was pacified. Christ's blood is the blood of atonement. Nay, it is not only [Greek or Hebrew], but [Greek or Hebrew], not only a Sacrifice, but a Propitiation, 1 John 2. 2. Which denoteth a bringing us into Favour with God. It is one thing for a traitor to be pardoned, and another thing to be brought into Favour. Sin rent us off from ⟨p. 43⟩God, Christ's Blood doth solder and •cment us to God. If we had had as much grace as the Angels, it could not have wrought our Reconciliation. If we had offered up Millions of Holocausts and Sacrifices, if we •ad wept Rivers of Tears, this could never have appeased an angry Dei•y; only Christ's blood doth ingratiate us into God's Favour, and make him look upon us with a smiling Aspect. When Christ dyed, the Veil of the Temple was rent: This was not without a Mystery, to show that through Christ's blood, the Veil of our Sins is rent, which did interpose between God and us.
