Christ's consecrating of the Elements, points out three things:
1. Christ in blessing the Elements, opened the nature of the Sacrament to the Apostles. He did unriddle this Mystery. Christ did advertise them, That as sure as they ⟨p. 10⟩did receive the Elements corporeally, so sure they did receive him into their hearts spiritually.
2. Christ's blessing the Elements, signified his prayer for a Blessing upon the Ordinance. He prayed that these Symbols of Bread and Wine, might through the Blessing and Operation of the Holy Ghost, sanctify the Elect, and seal up all spiritual mercies, and privileges to them.
