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

THE MYSTERY of the Lords Supper.

MATT. 26. 26 27, 28. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to his Disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body. And he took the Cup; and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it: For, this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the Remission of sins.

IN these words, we have the Institution of the Lords Supper. The Greeks call the Sacrament [Greek or Hebrew], a Mystery: There is in it, a Mystery of Wonder, ⟨p. 2⟩and a mystery of Mercy. The celebration of the Lords Supper (saith St. Chrysostom) is the Commemoration of the greatest Blessing that ever the World enjoyed. A Sacrament is a Visible Sermon^*. And herein the Sacrament excels the Word Preached. The Word is a Trumpet to proclaim Christ, the Sacrament is a Glass to represent him.
