Quest. Why did Christ institute this holy Ordinance, and give it to his Disciples, the very Night in which he was betrayed?
Answ. 1. To strengthen their Faith in an Hour of Temptation, that was just at the Door, and ready to come upon them. When is a Cordial more necessary, than when the Patient is ready to faint, and his Spirits fail? Christ saw what a sad Qualm was coming upon his poor Saints, and therefore gives them this Soul-reviving Cordial, to bear up their Spirits.
2. Because the last Words of a dying Friend are mostly kept in mind, or Tokens of Love given by him are chiefly born in remembrance.
Quest. Who ought to partake of the holy Eucharist?
Answ. 1. None but such who are true Converts, or who sincerely believe in the Lord Jesus Christ; for this is an outward Sign of an inward Grace received. Those who have not spiritually received Christ by Faith, ought not to come to the holy Supper of the Lord.
