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

2. We may know we are in the Vine by receiving influence from the ⟨p. 171⟩Vine. 1. A vital influence, Joh. 5. 21. The Son quickeneth whom he will. And this life from Christ is evidenced by sensation; we are sensible of the first ebullitions and risings of corruption, Rom. 7. 23. and of the least ebbings of grace, Hebrew. 5. 14. Who have their senses exercised, to discern both good and evil. 2. A Sanctifying influence: The root of this Vine being holy, makes all the Branches holy. Hath Christ diffused some of his Divine Unction into us? are our hearts consecrated? do we set our selves against every evil? as there is a conflict in the stomach between the spirits of Wine and Poison. Do we forsake fin not only out of Policy but Antipathy? Are we by the power of Grace transformed and made Partakers of the Divine Nature? Are we meek, humble, zealous? Is the flame of our heart Spiritual, doth our pulse still beat aster God? Is our aim sincere? Do we not only advance ⟨p. 172⟩but design God's Glory? behold here a sanctifying virtue derived from Christ into us, and we need not doubt but we are Branches of the true Vine, and shall grow and flourish in him to eternity.
