Meditation 4 Again, a fourth Meditation is this, that here we come to see we have occasion of meditating of that the Scripture saith, that we are by the blood of God saved, it is the blood of God, they crucified the Lord of glory, that's the Scripture phrase; we should consider when we see the Wine poured out, and so put in mind of blood, whose blood and whose body is this; It is no other but the body and blood of him that was truly God, the second Person in Trinity. This is the great Mystery of the Gospel, and this is very needful for us to be thinking of when we see the body broken and the blood poured out: What will the breaking of the body and shedding of the blood of a mere creature be sufficient to make peace between God and Man? surely no; therefore you must meditate whose body this is, and whose blood this is, it is the body and blood of him that was God; Its true, God hath no body nor no blood, but the same person that was God, had a body and blood; that body and blood was united unto the divine nature in a hypostatical union, and from thence it came to have an efficacy for to satisfy God, for to reconcile God and us together, this is the great mystery of godliness.
