2. The Passover: This was a memorial of the Angels passing over the houses of the Israelites, when the first born of the Egyptians were slain, Exod. 12. 27. which was a Type of our Redemption ⟨p. 8⟩by Christ; therefore Christ is called our Passover: 1 Cor. 5. 7. Christ our Passover is Sacrificed for us.

At the time of the first Institution there were very few Godly among them, for they are called an evil Generation. And so at many other times; yet God threatens those that under any pretence did neglect to celebrate the Passover, if they were clean and not in a Journey, Numb. 9. 13. And Hezekiah sent to invite the People of Ephraim & Manasseh, and other Tribes to celebrate the Passover, tho' they had lived in Idolatry for some Ages, 2 Chron. 30. 1. And Hezekiah sent to all Israel & Judah, & wrote letters also to Ephraim & Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israel. And Jesus Christ himself partook of the Passover along with Judas: Luk. 22. 13, 14. They made ready the Passover, and when the hour was come, he sat down and the twelve Apostles with him.
