Sixthly Observe, That as our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ hath Purchased this Redemption and Remission, so he is must willing, desirous, and pressing that sinners, to whom the Gospel it offered, should make use of his righteousness and of the Purchase made thereby, for this end, that they may have Remission of sins and eternal life. For not only is the security good, sufficient and sure in it self, The Testament being confirmed: But he is (to speak so with reverence) Passionately desirous that sinner should endeavour on good ground to be sure of it in themselves: therefore he kindly puts it in a Legacy, makes serious offer of it, and strongly confirms it to all that embrace it.

Seventhly, Observe, That It is to Testify this his willingness that sinners should make use of his purchase, and lay hold on his Righteousness, on Remission of sins and life through him, and to promove the acceptation thereof among sinners, that he hath instituted this Ordinance of the Communion. Take ye, Eat ye, &c. For this is (as if he had said) the end of the institution of this Sacrament and the reason of it, even to be a sign and Seal of confirmation to many of the Remission of sins through my Blood: This was my design in laying down my life, to get many sinners Pardoned, and this is the, end of the ⟨p. 305⟩institution of this Precious ordinance of my Supper, to apply it to them, and to confirm them in the Faith of it.
