Another remarkable confirmation Abraham received of the […] of grace, was when he returned from the slaughter of the kings; when Melchizedek the king of Salem he the priest of the Most High God, that great type of Christ, met him, and blessed him, and brought forth bread and wine. The bread and wine signified the same blessings of the covenant of grace, that the bread and wine does in the sacrament of the Lord's supper. So that as Abraham had a seal of the covenant in circumcision that was equivalent to baptism, so now he had a seal of it equivalent to the Lord's supper. Melchizedek's coming to meet him with such a seal of the covenant of grace, on the occasion of this victory of his over the kings of the north, confirm•, •hat the victory was a pledge of God's fulfilment of the same covenant; for that is the mercy that Melchizedek with his bread and wine takes notice of; as you may see by what he says in Gen. xiv.19.20.
