Thirdly, The Bread is to be Broken. That the pouring of the Wine should be Looked upon, as any part of the Sacrament, I do not understand; I have not yet seen the Order for it. But the Breaking of the Bread, is a Remarkable article of our Business here; and far from Adiaphorous, or Indifferent. Hence by a Synecdoche, the whole Administration sometimes is called, The Breaking of Bread. ⟨p. 24⟩The Church of Rome sins not a little by the Omission of it. This is to signify, That our Lord Jesus has been Broken for our Sin. Tho' His Bones were not to be Broken, (and this was the Martyrs Argument against Transubstantiation) yet His Flesh was broken, and His Heart was broken, for us.

We do not find that Christ or They rose up, for Him to deliver the Bread and the Wine to each of them immediately; but He gave it unto the First, and the First gave it unto the Next; and thus we find in the Primitive Ages, there were Distributors of these Holy Things to the Communicants. But there seems no Necessity of Repeating the Invitations of the Lord Jesus over again, to each person at the Delivery of the Bread and Wine; tho' in some of the Primitive Churches, there seems to have been such a Thing, which every Communicant answered an, Amen, unto Well, This is to signify, That God now giveth Christ, He gives that matchless Gift, both To and For His People.
