The Parallel of this is, That Christians should discourse together, or speak unto themselves in holy Soliloquy, viz. What is the meaning, O my Soul, of this Service, of this Love of Christ in appointing this holy Ordinance? What doth it bring to thy remembrance, ⟨p. 43⟩O my Soul? And here you have Occasion of expatiating the whole method of God in exalting the freeness of his Grace in Mans Redemption. Oh, what meant my dearest Lord in shedding of his blood, and ordaining this for the commemoration of it! Surely it was, O my Soul, to deliver thee from misery, to make thee Partaker of his Grace and Love▪ and to Seal it to thee, and make thee to rejoice in the remembrance of it.
