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

TO THE READER.

Christian Reader,

I Have (according to my promise) superadded a few lines, suiting a Sacramental Discourse. The Subject is so excellent and sublime, that I cannot speak enough of it, nor well enough. What can be more sacred, than the observing Christ's last Will and Testament, Do this in Remembrance of me. We are to be so solemnly affected at the Holy Supper, as if we were receiving it among the Apostles from Christ's own hands^*. This mysterious Ordinance is to be perpetuated till ⟨image 66⟩Christ's coming to judgment, 1 Cor. 11. 26.^* The Supper of the Lord is a [Greek or Hebrew], or foretaste of that Marriage-Supper of the Lamb, Rev. 19. 9. which made Damascene pray, Lord, let me receive this Supper, as an Earnest of my future Heaven. But into what a degenerate age are we fallen, when the most weighty tremendous Points of Religion are called in question. To such a Climax of impudency are some risen, as to vilify Ordinances, oppugn Christ's Divinity, deride the in-habitation of God's Spirit^*; and deny praying by the Spirit. These are they who would cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before them, Isa. 30. 11
