Israel implying that now they doubted whether it was hee or no. This antidote I give you before-hand to preserve your faith from failing though not from some fainting for if I can foretell my death with all the circumstances thereof then I am a God though I die like a man 2. You must be witnesses of mee in Jerusalem and through the world that I am the Messiah the Son of God and Saviour of the world Fit witnesses you cannot be except you take notice that I foretell my death with all the circumstances thereof but if you doe take notice that I foretell my death with all the circumstances thereof then are yee the fitter witnesses of mee For howsoever every man may and must dye like a man and I like an evill man yet no man can foretell his death with all the circumstances thereof but a God And by my breaking bread with you in like sort after my resurrection you shall know that I am risen and that it is no ghost in my likenesse Quest But why dost thou use bread and wine in the prediction of thy death Answ 1. Because bread and wine are visible tangible mandible you have forgot what you heard you will surely remember what you see touch taste eat and drink 2. And secondly because every god true or false hath his tables where his disciples eat and drink to his honour and for his memoriall therefore doe yee thus eat and drink in remembrance of mee after I am risen again and ascended untill I shall return again to judgement and salvation Quest But on what fashion wouldst thou that we should remember thy death untill thou come in thus doing Or how doth this bread and wine shew forth thy death Answ Thus Hee which by bread and wine foretold his death with all the circumstances thereof howsoever hee was put to death like a man and like an evill man yet he was God But Jesus did by bread and wine foretell his death with all the circumstances thereof when no enemy touched him nor appeared against him Ergo Jesus is God And if Christ who was God suffered death 1. Then doe not you wonder though you suffer at the hands of Magistrates evill ones would crucifie God himself if they had him in the likenesse of a man 2. If Christ God-man thus suffered be you patient in suffering and look for suffering 3. If Christ thus suffered who was able to foretell his death and who rose again then shall ye also be raised again after your death Thus the bread and wine is neither his body nor bloud as the Papists say neither yet any otherwise a signe of his body and bloud then his commentary upon them made them to be signes and that is not of their own nature for the bread doth not hold so neer a resemblance or similitude with his body as one body doth with another or as one bread with some other bread or as Cesars image with Cesar himselfe or as a lively picture of that thing or person whereof it is a picture or as that was the House of the Lord and the Altar of burnt-offering for Israel which David said was so 1 Chron. 22.1 The rain-bow in its owne nature is not a signe of non-drowning the world for wee might long see the rainbow before we could read that in the face of it that God will not drown the world for there were rainbowes before the floud as well as after How then came the rainbow to be a sign after the floud of non-drowning the world more then before Even because God called and made the rainbow a signe of non-drowning after and not before for otherwise the rainbow had as much inherent signification of non-drowning before the floud as after So bread and wine did as much resemble Christs body and bloud before that Supper of his and Institution as after and perhaps neither before nor after so neerly as that any man would have said This is so like to the body and bloud of Christ as that the one is like the other at all Then it is the word and institution of Christ onely which maketh the bread and wine to be signes of his body or bloud And how signes of his body and bloud They are rather tokens of commemoration then signes What is to be commemorated That he was God as well as man whose body and bloud this is said to be Why how will that follow from this bread and wine thus used in commemoration and by vertue of this institution that he was God whose body and bloud is commemorated hereby Thus He which could foretell his death with all the circumstances thereof when yet hee sate eating drinking and instructing his disciples where no hand appeared against him hee must needs be God howsoever he suffer and die as man even as an evill man But such was Christ this did he foretell institute to be commemorated to his memoriall untill he shall return Ergo The commemoration which is done by bread and wine to that end instituted of Christ doth rightly commemorate his godhead 1. It implyeth that the commemorators are in the same danger that he was in That 2. Though they be yet they have no cause to be afraid nor ashamed for their enemies did and would again crucifie God if they could reach him in the likenesse of man as they did Christ who was God No marvell therefore if they crucifie us Note here also That as his prophecie of his death did declare him to be God so also his eating and drinking did imply the truth of his humanity and that he was not a Ghost in likenesse of a man To that end the Apostle argueth wee ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead That hee did eat and drink with them that bread and wine the word this implyeth Besides that he would drink it no more till he drank it new with them in his Fathers kingdome Till I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdome That is till I be risen from the dead For then the Church of the New Testament took its full state which is said to be that kingdome which was at hand And at Emmaus in Galilee hee brake bread with them the first night Breaking of bread is Synecdochically put for the whole Supper mention of wine needed not to be repeated it s presumed he would and did drink it with them sith he promised to drink it with them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as hee sate with them the words at meat are corruptly added Beza renders it in discumbendo cum illis Luke 24. v. 30. And by this drinking it new with them or by breaking bread which Synecdochically is all one they did know him to be the same risen which was crucified and not a ghost in his likenesse Matth. 27.5 compared with Act. 1.18 Judas seems rather to throw himself down some rock then to hang himself Matth. 27.62 Now the day which followed the preparation Ironically

And the word this implyeth the distinction between his body and the other Temple wherein then he was So that the Jewes did wittingly and wilfully wr●st these words of his as a testimony against him at his death as they did man things more am Christ gave them no just occasion by these words to mistake the one temple for the other Only Christ will not forbed to give the appellation of Temple unto his body though hel was then in the Temple of stone Why To teach us that we need not forbear the words and wayes which are just and good though enemies be apt to take advantage thereby and to bring evill upon us therefore John 2.24 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he trusted not himself to them or he beleeved not himself to them The word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to beleeve is put transitively And if it be so put in this place Was may not an accusative case be understood other where us 〈◊〉 it is said that we beleeve in God or in Christ or rather on God or on Christ so as that the sence be this that we are to beleeve our selves upon God or upon Christ that is trust our selves upon God or upon Christ a metaphor taken from yee whereon A man dare trust not only his foot but his whole weight Hence God is said and Christ is said to be a rock whereon a man may safely trust himself and not like the y●● which may break and deceitfully drown him which trusted there do much lesse like a quagmire which will 〈◊〉 sinke him which relyeth thereon which if it be true them ●e is not a beleever which adventureth his essent only upon God or upon Christ but which adventureth his whole life and eternall safety upon the wayes of God and of Christ and if he perish he perisheth God and Christ are faithfull and will keep that which me● come●● to them against that day of account faithfully Thus faith is praticall yea faith is a practice or a work a doing of so the action and not a fancy or affiance only not a perswasion resting in thought or heart only So that it may be said to those who professe themselves beleevers what singular thing do ye not what singular thing know ye or are ye perswaded of How come works then to be evill spoken of as if they were legall and not evangelicall when faith it self is a work such faith is not faithfull and if faith be unfaithfull how great is that unfaithfulnesse Faithfull in matters of civill duty betwixt man and man faithfull in matters of God and his word and that unto the death This is the generation of doers and sufferers which are faithfull indeed beleevers indeed John 4.35 The regions are white already to the harvest commers out of Samaria over the fields men women in their white apparell likened to corne in a field as elsewhere Christ resembleth multitudes of people to an harvest The harvest is grout but the labourers are few Matth. 9.37 John 6.44 No man can come to me except the Father which sent me draw him Whosoever will not be drawn with this consideration that God the Father sent Christ his Son to taste death for every man as Heb. 2.9 he will not be drawn with any thing And that God draweth by that engine see ver 45. where it is said that he which hath heard and learned of the Father commeth unto Christ So that God the Father draweth by hearing and what is to be heard but the Gospel And what is the summe of the Gospel but that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself not imputing their sinnes unto them sendeth abroad this word of reconciliation and beseecheth men every where to be reconciled unto him for he is reconciled to them This is the ministery of reconciliation so called 2 Cor. 5.18 19. This I take to be the meaning of this text John 6.44 So that it doth not give way to those which say what can I do if God do not draw me but it condemneth them saying unto them What drawing doest thou expect more then this He which will not be drawn with this love will not be drawn at all
