Communion of the Body of Christ And this it is like was the Form which all the Apostles used in their Ministrations of this Nature for he speaks it here in the plural number We we Neither indeed is there the same Reason for us nor the same occasion before us to speak these words as there was for Christ to speak them He spake them discriminatim in a way of forbidding the former Sacrament of the Passover to be used any more and appointing this of his last Supper in its stead as shall appear more at large in the following parts of this Discourse upon which account it is that he then spake this word so expresly This is my Body to the end that his Apostles and after them his whole Church might understand his meaning in abolishing the old Sacrament and ordaining the New Which being so doubtless we are not to follow his example in speaking the words that he spake which brought on this change And accordingly I knew a man at that time Domino teste non mentior who for Conscience sake did not use that indirect Form when he Administred that Sacrament but varied from it using the aforesaid words of the Holy Apostle when he gaue tho Bread This Bread is the Communion of the Body of Christ adding thereto the words prescribed in our Liturgy viz. Take and cat this in Remembrance that Christ died for thee c. and when he gave the Cup This Cup is the Communion of the Blood of Christ Drink this in Remembrance c. For knowing assuredly that the real Presence of Christ is not in the outward Element but only in the Hearts of the worthy Communicants he durst not say so plainly and so punctually as he was then commanded that the Bread is the Body of Christ which is broken for his People A large mention hath been here made of the form that was then commanded to be used in Administring the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Not as if it were worthy of any Regard rather it deserves to be expunged out of the World with an Anathema fixed upon it but that our Enemies may not upbraid us with it and that the World may take notice how apt those that separate themselves from the established Orders of our Church will though they be associated in an Assembly as they were in those days at West minster and applauded by their followers for their Piety and Learning will be to fall into the worst of Romish Errors though they will seem most to protest against them Having removed the Rubs that lay in our way we may now go on in a plain Path which will lead us to hear the Voice of our Lord walking in his Garden which is in his Church where he commonly meets his People and makes his mind known unto them There it is where we have learnt the true Sense of his words in this Mystery Let us then hear what the Spirit hath said of it to the Church which is our Mother and to her Children amongst the rest to one who is the meanest of Gods poor Servants who rejoyceth that he hath attained to some Understanding in this Mystery And if his particular Judgment which shall be added towards the close of this Discourse be accounted by those who are to judge in such cases sit to be built upon the Foundation his song shall ever be Deo Gloria mihi venia The sense of the Church in general is declared in the twenty eighth Article of her Confession which is of the Lords Supper in this manner The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the Love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to another but rather it is a Sacrament of our Redemption by Christs Death insomuch that to such as worthily and with saith receive the same the Bread which we break is partaking of the Body of Christ and likewise the Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood of Christ The Body of Christ is given and taken and eaten in the Supper only after an heavenly and spiritual Manner And the mean whereby the Body of Christ is Received and Eaten in the Supper is Faith This is the Voice of the Turtle which is heard in our Land the Echo whereof is heard in Heaven which makes sweet Musick in that Celestial Symphony The word which our Apostle useth 1 Cor. 10.16 in this case is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an Emphatical Word which makes Heaven and Earth intercommon together First on Gods part it is Communicatio for God by his Ministers in all ages Communicates or Distributes this spiritual Food among his People 2. On their side it is Participatio when they by Faith take and receive this Food into their Hearts for then and not before it turns into Nourishment in them and is digested by them From these two springs another 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 viz. A Communion or Fellowship not only among our selves but with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ 1 Joh. 1.3.7 a most sweet and apposite word a word which the said Apostle seems to delight in as appeareth by his repeating it in the same instant 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith he and again 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Surely it pleased him very well as well it might and to me it soundeth as if he would have us to account this Vinum generosum to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the common Wine that passed between God and his Guests at his Holy Table Much pains likewise have been taken by Orthodox Catholicks to smooth the way to a right understanding of this great Mystery R. V. But I shall not here multiply Quotations of that which is written hereof by them Their Sense shall be shortly summed up in that Form of words which is to be seen in a late Writer and is in effect used by them all When Christ said This is my Body what Body did he mean even his own natural Body which is given for us Luk. 22.19 which is broken for us 1 Cor. 24.10 but how can this be It 's impossible that Bread while it is Bread should be Christ's Body or Wine while it is Wine should be his Blood It 's very true that it is impossible Disparatum de disparato non proprium praedicatur We must therefore seek for a possible meaning and of necessity conclude with Calvin Sacramentalem esse Loquutionem that it is a Sacramental Form of Speech the sign bears the name of the thing signified as both in Vulgar and Scripture Language is common in Scripture signs either figuratively Representing or sacramentally Sealing do bear the name of the things Represented or Sealed v. g.
