3. The third thing in the Institution, 1is, the Breaking of the Bread. He brake it*. This did shadow out Christ's Death and Passion, with all the Torments of his Body and Soul. Isa. 53. 10. It pleased the Lord to bruise him. When the Spices are bruised, then they send forth a sweet savour. So when Christ was bruised on the Cross, he did send out a most fragrant smell. Christ's body crucifying, was the breaking open a Box of precious ointment, which did fill Heaven and Earth with its perfume.
