dumb_a animal_n in_o token_n that_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o be_v entitle_v to_o all_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o whereas_o the_o lamb_n be_v a_o type_n of_o i_o to_o the_o intent_n now_o that_o you_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o my_o follower_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o certain_a interest_n in_o my_o sacrifice_n and_o shall_v receive_v

after_o this_o manner_n and_o to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o feast_n upon_o i_o and_o upon_o my_o sacrifice_v body_n though_o you_o do_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o very_a identical_a oblation_n as_o

their_o very_a oblation_n this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o great_a blessing_n we_o receive_v 2._o hence_o we_o conclude_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o every_o communicant_a who_o be_v right_o

will_v more_o evident_o yet_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v 1._o the_o correspondency_n of_o this_o feast_n to_o the_o ancient_a sacrifical_a banquet_n in_o general_a 2._o the_o analogy_n of_o it_o to_o those_o feast_n which_o be_v use_v after_o sin-offering_n in_o particular_a and_o three_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n at_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o rite_n 1._o first_o than_o it_o be_v already_o prove_v that_o god_n order_v his_o people_n to_o feast_n upon_o part_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o token_n to_o they_o that_o they_o be_v in_o

that_o as_o the_o eat_v of_o sacrifical_a feast_n be_v a_o evidence_n unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o be_v benefit_v by_o the_o oblation_n and_o be_v in_o god_n favour_n so_o the_o partake_n of_o
