A treatise concerning the Lords Supper

Twentyethly, Eye the blood of Christ in the Sacrament, as such blood, that maketh all you do, to be pleasing unto God. Your best doings would be provocations unto God, had it not been for Christ's dying: If Christ had not dyed, your very praying would have been provoking of God; it is the sufferings and the blood of Christ, that maketh all your religious duties to be acceptable unto God. This is the sweet Incense, which he offers with the Prayers of Saints, Rev. 8.3. Through the blood of the everlasting Covenant, is that wrought in you, and by you, which is pleasing in the sight of God; and indeed in this respect you should eye the virtue and efficacy of the blood of Christ in every Duty; your tears are but puddle water, and your righteousness but rags without this blood of Christ
