Secondly, To what is Christ made discernible and Communicable? We answer: First he is not discernible nor present after a corporal manner to the bodily eye, though he be really and truly present; The bread that he gives is his Body, and the Cup his Blood, and yet it was Bread and wine which was given, and not his Body and Blood corporally. Secondly, he is not present and Communicable by any local mutation, by taking us up to heaven to him, or by bringing his Body out of Heaven to us; But he is these three ways present and Communicable; First to our Spiritual senses, to an enlightened understanding, which considers Christs Body broken and his Blood shed. Secondly, To the Faith of his people he is present in his own ordinance; when his spirit goes along and quickens their hearts, and ⟨p. 27⟩their faith is in exercise. They are made to apprehend Christs Body, and to have an union with him sitting in Glory as really as they partake of the elements with their hand and feed upon them with their mouth and stomach; an union as real as is betwixt the head and the members, and betwixt the root and the branches: These two, the Spirit on Christs side, and Faith on our side make up a real union; and therefore though this presence be real, yet it's Spiritual; Faith looking and going through the elements takes up Christ according to the end appointed; and this makes the union, even as faith will look and go through the word and crediting the word, takes up Christ in it, and makes an union with him; so by virtue of this ordinance there is a Spiritual presence of, and union with Christ Jesus. Thirdly A presence to sense, not so much in respect of inward feeling, as in respect of the powerful effects of his presence, though often inward feeling goes alongst with it; and therefore its called the Communion of his Body, and the wine of Heaven; And in respect of the mean and way he manifests himself therein, to the eye, to the touch, to the taste, and to the ear, and there is a colour sensible: which is more then is in any other ordinance, where there is but the exercise of one sense; for the more of the outward senses he makes use of, he brings with him a proportionable blessing to the inward senses of the soul.
