Manna whose taste was like wafers made with honey If hitherto thou hast not knowen the sweetnesse thereof Now taste and see how good is the LORD David saith that his word is sweeter than the honey and the honey combe * ●s his word so sweete O how sweete then must hee himselfe bee which is the cause of all that Sweetnesse O the Sweetnesse of GOD in this Sacrament of the Supper If we could taste it we would wonder at its taste O the goodnesse of this bread which is panis domi●ius the bread LORD * This bread LORD carieth such a vertue with it that it maketh the bread of the LORD the outward element to haue a sweeter relish in the mouth of the receiuer then commoun bread Likewise that wine being receiued by faith hath a more sauourie taste to the worthy communicant then drunkards can find in their Belshazzars Cuppes at their greatest feasts * The tongue of man can not expresse the sweetnesse of this spirituall banket wherevnto yee are invited this day Is not this a banket of loue which sweetneth all things None must gloume here vpon another None must haue any grudge at another This is a feast of friendship The spouse in the Canticl●s speaking of CHRIST his banket saith Hee brought mee to the banketing house and his banner over me was loue Behold how so soone as the spouse came in the feasting house CHRIST cast a banner over her a banner of loue * Wee come to this feast alas with banners of pride the greatest enemie of loue Behold while this loue Banner was cast ouer the spouse she fell sicke into the banketing-house Passa est deliquium animi she swouned for loue while one is like to swoune others will cry for wine for to vphold the failing spirits so did this spouse while shee found her selfe so ravished with loue that her heart beganne to faint stay mee with flaggons said shee Comfort mee with apples for I am sicke of loue See how shee cryed for a flaggon of wine for to drinke and for apples of comfort for to savour whereby her heart might bee strengthened in the sicknesse of loue Now wee are into the LORD his banqueting house the feast will bee ready anone * Let vs intreat the LORD that hee would couer vs all together heere with the Banner of his loue whereby wee may be moved to loue GOD aboue all things and our neighbours as our selfe till thy Soule bee inwrapped in this Banner see that thou come not to this Table But so soone as thou shalt find thy heart sicken with the loue of him then make hast to the Table let thy Soule then cry for meate and for a drinke of GOD his flaggons Cry for it and hee shall giue thee the sweetest drinke that ever thy Soule dranke I say the sweetest for seeing the sicknesse of loue is so sweete how sweete must that drinke bee which healeth the Soule of such sicknesse What I say of drinke that I say of meate O the sweetnesse of that spirituall meate * If a man hath eaten Cannell or Anise his breath will bee sweete and pleasant thereafter A man also who truely hath eaten CHRIST his breath in his words will savour more sweetly than Cinnamon O the sweete savour of godlinesse which is the savour of GOD himselfe * By the savour of your breath it shall bee knowne heereafter what yee haue eaten this day Yee who shortly after the Communion begin to rai●e scold lye and braule beguile not your selues these rotten words are but stinking belchs which proceede from the rotten meate of damnation If the bread Lord this meate whereof heere is mention were in such mens hearts the savour of life would bee in their words for wordes doe proceede from that whereof there is abundance in the heart I pray you to remember that this meate for which CHRIST biddeth labour is a meate most sweete That which is sweete worketh vpon two senses often viz. vpon the savour and the taste Wee say of a flower it hath a sweete savour and wee say of hony it hath a sweete taste The sweetnesse both of fauour and taste concurreth in this meate of my Text The meate is CHRIST who is both of a sweete savour and of a sweete taste As for his savour it is excellent like that of the Rose and that of the Lillie I am the Rose of Sharon said hee and the Lillie of the Valleyes * The garments of his righteousnesse are all perfumed with Celestiall Muske Blind Isaac finding a smell of Esau his garment rejoyced Before hee would blesse him hee cryed for savoury meate Hee was blind and could not see it and therefore behoved to make choice by the savour * A hungry man passing by a doore where excellent meats are will rejoice and bee comforted with the smell thereof the reeke thereof will delight his heart If thy Soule O man be a hungrie Soule to day in this the Lords his banketinghouse thou shall find such a sweete savour of this meate as shall comfort thy heart * The reeke of CHRIST his body broken and prepared to bee meate to thy Soule and the reeke of his blood comming out of his wounds shall refresh thee so that thou shall wonder what a vertue it can bee All the dearest dainties of this world are nothing but stink and corruption in comparison of the sweete savour of CHRIST his crucified body There is in Him the savour of the rose and of the Lillie Spiknard aloes and Cassia * All the perfume of Heaven is in Him It is Hee who maketh all the HEAVENS like a Paradise of flowers O the savour of our SAVIOUR the savour of lyfe vnto lyfe * O that savour of life a living savour that maketh a dead soule to liue a life which can not bee taken away by death The second Wholesome VVEE haue heard of the first propertie of this meate for which CHRIST willeth vs to labour it is sweete The second is that it is wholesome sanctificat sanat it maketh holy and it maketh whole * Holinesse is only true health This meate is both meate and medicine for it both feedeth and healeth the Soule * In my judgment in this world there is not a more powerfull m●anes for to bee cured of the disseases of the Soule then first a reverend and carefull hearing of the word and then a frequent and well prepared taking of the Sacrament Beleeue what I say This I will say behold that bread vpon the Table with a faithfull eye and a sight of that bread shall heale thy wounds * Shall the sight of a brasen serpent set vpon a pole a law ceremonie be so powerfull for healing the deadly byte of a Serpent and shall the ceremonie of the Gospell be of a lesse vertue * I will tell thee O man if thou hast any sorte of earnest
