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

6. Christ's blood, is a comforting ¹blood; it is good against fainting Fits. Christ's blood, is, better than Wine: Though Wine cheers the Heart of a Man that is well, yet it will not cheer his Heart when he hath a fit of the Stone, or when the Pangs of Death are upon him: But Christ's blood will cheer the Heart at such a time. It is best in affliction, it cures the trembling at the Heart. A Conscience sprinkled with Christ's blood, can, like the Nightingale, sing with a Thorn at its Breast. The blood of Christ can make a Prison become a Palace. It turned the Martyrs Flames into Beds of Roses^*. Christ's blood ⟨p. 48⟩gives comfort at the hour of Death: As an Holy Man once said on his Death-bed, when they brought him a Julep; No Julep like the Blood of Christ!
