A SERMON Preached immediatly before the Communion.
On Matth. 22 2.—4. — All things are ready, come to the Marriage.
There are many great and glorious things spoken of the Gospel; and our Blessed Lord Jesus hath made use of many good Similitudes wonderfully opposite, to set it out: Sometimes it's called the Kingdom of Heaven, for reasons that we will no• now insist upon; sometimes it's called a Marriage, as here and else-where; some o• those Similitudes show what great and singular satisfaction is to be had in it, therefore its compared to a Feast, Supper, and Dinner, some of them show the way how we are made Partakers of it: So opening and receiving holds forth believing; and some of those similitudes hold forth both, as this of a Marriage, which points at the strait union betwixt Christ and Believers, and at the manner or way of our entering into this blessed union, on which follows Communion.
