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

2. Let us so remember Christ's Death, as to conform to his Death. Phil. 3. 10. That I may be conformable to his death. Then we remember Christ's Death aright, when we are dead with him; our pride and passion are dead. Christ's dying for us, makes sin die in us: Then we rightly remember Christ's crucifixion, when we are crucified with him; we are dead to the pleasures ⟨p. 89⟩and preferments of the World. Gal. 6. 14. The world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
