Christ instituted this ordinance also to be a standing evidence of his affection to his. The same night that he was betrayed he took bread. The dearest Jesus, kept his best wine till the last. He knew his Disciples would be full of sorrow for his departure; he therefore provided his strongest cordial against their saddest fainting fits. After the Passover he took bread and instituted the Sacrament. After Supper then comes the Banquet, the Sweet-meats. At the Lords Table Christ kisseth his Spouse with the sweetest kisses of his lips, and ravisheth her heart with his warmest love. In other Ordinances he Wooeth her; in this he Marrieth her. In other Ordinances she hath from him the salutes of a loving friend; but in this the embraces of an Husband; Other duties are pleasant and wholesome food, but this is the costly delightful feast. In this Christ bringeth his beloved into his Banqueting house, (a store-house of all sweet delights, of variety of delicacies) and his Banner over her is love, Cant. 2.4.
