But 1 It is to be done in a holy Communion, and is clear out of that place in 1 Cor. 10. 16, 17. The Cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ? the bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? and then saith the Apostle in the 17. verse, for we being many are one bread and one body; therefore all that come to receive the Sacrament, they must so come as they must be one body, one spiritual Corporation; this very consideration, that those with whom we receive the Sacrament are one body with us, it hath a ⟨p. 357⟩great deal in it, for the helping of us to sanctify Gods Name; this Ordinance I say, it is to be received only in a holy Communion; one Christian cannot receive the Sacrament alone; there must be a Communion wheresoever it is to be administered; it is not enough there is one Godly man there, but there must be a Communion of Saints, and in that communion it is to be received.
