First, Then for Explication. From the 26. vers. is set down the Institution of the Supper of the Lord: wherein we have. First, What Christ did. Secondly, What he Commands the Disciples, and us in them to do. Thirdly, He Explicates in these ⟨p. 298⟩words, what he hath been doing, and Command to be done: This is my Blood (saith he) of the Ne• Testament, &c. As if he had said, would you kno• what it is that I am doing: There was a Covenant made long since betwixt my Father and me, co• cerning the elect; wherein I condescended an• transacted to take on mans nature, and in that natu•• to suffer and satisfy Divine Justice for their sin• & this is the Commemoration of my Satisfaction according to that Covenant, and the exhibiting an• giving to you a confirmation of your interest in a• the blessings of that Covenant, whereof Remissi•• of sins is one, and a main one: He needed, as wou•• seem, to have said no more, but that he was goi• to suffer and to suffer for this cause, Even to pu• chase Redemption to sinners: but he will furth•• show his Disciples and in them all Believers in hi• That this came not to pass by guess, but accordi•• to an old Covenant and Eternal transaction th• past betwixt Jehovah and Him: and so adds the S• crament to be a Commemoration and a more f• Confirmation thereof to Believers, of all that purchased by it and Promised in it. In the 29. ve• He hath two words further, one of warning, anoth of encouragement: 1. One of warning, I say u you, henceforth I will not drink of the Fruit of t Vine: As if he had said, take heed what ye are d ing, make this Communion very welcome, and […] it confirm and strengthen you against the trials th are coming: for I will have no moe Communion with you after this manner in this World. 2.
