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

3. Is Christ's Blood shed? here is comfort against death. A dying Saviour sweetens the pangs of death^*. Is thy Lord ⟨p. 111⟩Crucified? be of good comfort, Christ by dying hath overcome death. He hath cut the lock of sin, where the strength of death lay. Christ hath knocked out the teeth of this Lyon: He hath pulled the thorn out of death, that it cannot prick a Believer's Conscience. Hosea 13. 14. O death, I will be thy plague. Christ hath disarmed death and taken away all its deadly weapons, that though it may strike, it cannot sting a Believer. Christ hath drawn the poison out of death, nay, he hath made death friendly^*. This pale Horse carries a Child of God home to his Father's house. Faith gives a propriety to Heaven, death gives a possession: What sweet comfort may we draw from the Crucifixion of our Lord! his precious blood makes the pale face of death to be of a ruddy and beautiful complexion.
