Luk. 22. 19. This is my body which is given for you. That is, for you quatenus Believers. Christ gave his Body and Blood to the Disciples, chiefly under this Notion, as they were Believers: As Christ poured out his Prayers*, so his Blood only for Believers; see how near to Christ's Heart, all Believers lie! Christ's Body was broken on the Cross, and his Blood shed for them. Rom. 11, 7, The Election hath obtained it. Christ ⟨p. 21⟩passed by others, and dyed intentionally for them. Impenitent Sinners have no Benefit by Christ's Death, unless a short Reprieve. Christ is given to the wicked in wrath. He is a Rock of Offence*, 1 Pet. 2, 8. Christs Blood, is like Chemical Drops of Oil, which recover some Patients, but kill other. Judas sucked Death from the Tree of Life*: God can turn Stones into Bread; and a Sinner can turn Bread into Stones: The Bread of Life, into the S•ne of Stumbling.
