I Have heretofore spoken of the Feast that God makes to his Church, specially in the later times, which was specially performed at the first coming of Christ, when the Gentiles came in: But the consummation and perfection of all will be at the day of judgement, then God will spread a Table for his to all eternity.

We have spoken heretofore at large of the resemblance of spiritual good things, by this comparison of a Feast, God sets out spiritual things by outward, because we cannot otherwise conceive of them: the best things in grace, by the best, and sweetest things in Nature. And thus God enters into our souls by our senses, as we see in the Sacrament.1
