He hath given them a Massive and marrowy Sum of the Gospel in the words immediately Preceding; This Cup (saith he) is my Blood of the New Testament shed for the Remission of the sins of many; To which he subjoins, partly for warning, partly for Consolation, these now read, But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the Vine, till I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom: as if he had said, though now we be ⟨p. 332⟩sitting here at the Communion-Table heartsomely together, I tell you, that I and ye will have no mo Communions here on earth; The particle But is to give them a watch-word; and yet according to his blessed manner and wont, he hath the best word hindmost, and tells them glad news on the back of it; For they might say, Woe's us, sweet Master, will we never meet again at a Communion? think not so, saith he; we shall yet meet again and have a sweet Communion in Heaven: This then is a very heartsome dismiss: though he sends them away, advertising them of a storm coming, and though they knew not well what was before them; yet he heartens and encourages them with a Promise, that they shall have this Wine new, or the thing signified by it, with a far other relish, in Glory: and that then he and they should have good days of it: I shall say no more to the exposition, scope, or Division of the words. Take this one Doctrine from them, and then a few things on the Connection, for Use.
