That Lots should be cast upon his Vesture Psal 22.18 12. That He should be insulted over and derided on the account of his trusting in God Psal 22.8 13.

That He should be laid in a Rich Man's Tomb Isa 53.9 And besides these there a great many other Circumstances to the same purpose exactly specify'd by the Prophets But I wave them my Design being only to hint at the most remarkable WHAT I have mentioned here is sufficient First to demonstrate that CHRIST'S Death with all the notable passages of it was a convincing Proof of his being the promised MESSIAS But in the second place it is yet more evident that as our Saviour would have a lively Sense of his Bloody Death and Passion to be preserv'd by a publick Monument that might perpetuate the memory of it in his Church so was He willing thereby to inculcate the more forcibly this Proof of his being the Messias A Proof taken from the kind of Death which He suffer'd and the Circumstances attending it For as much as this Death which had so much Scandal in it being the Object of the Christian Religion would inevitably expose it to many Reflections and the Opposition of great difficulties THE third Truth which the Eucharist represents to us is That the Passion of CHRIST which the Jews look upon as an Evident Sign of the Curse of God is most truly a plentiful conveyance of the greatest Blessings to Sinners This we are made sensible of as soon as we reflect upon these two Things 1. That GOD denounced his Curse against Sinners not only when He said Gen. 3.17 Cursed shall be the Ground for thy sake or when in Deut. 27.26 He pronounced him accursed who did not continue in all the Words of the Law to do them But also by annexing this Curse in particular to that kind of Death which our Lord suffer'd it being said Deut. 21.23 He that is hang'd is accursed of GOD. 2. That though GOD by his Oracles given to Abraham had promised that all Nations should be blessed by means of the Messias yet He does no less expresly declare that the Messias was to suffer the Punishment of the Cross and consequently be under the Curse of GOD Psal 22. Zach. 12.10 A man must either make no use of his own Reason or presently infer from these Truths that the MESSIAS was to be a Blessing to the World no other way than by his being exposed to the Curse for a time viz. by undergoing an accursed Death before he could shower down all the Blessings of his Grace and Glory upon us The Eucharist preserving the Memory of our Saviour's Passion naturally leads us to this Reflection Which will be much more sensibly impress'd upon us if with it we joyn a view of JESVS CHRIST who presents Himself on the Cross as a Victim offer'd for Sinners and his Death as a Real Sacrifice THE fourth Truth is that which is most distinctly laid open to us in the Manner and Circumstances of the Eucharist For First of all CHRIST did not only institute this Ceremony after He had eaten the Paschal Lamb with his Disciples which set before their Eyes 1. The Sacrifice of the Ram that was offer'd up in the Room of Isaac 2. That of the Lambs in Egypt for the redemption of the First-born of the Israelites 3. The Testimony of John the Baptist express'd in these Terms This is the Lamb of God who takes away the Sins of the World. Which saying of his explains all the ancient Types and with one word does illustrate whatever we read concerning the Death of the Messias in the 53d of Isaiah And Secondly CHRIST in the Institution of his Sacrament expresses Himself also by way of opposition to the Paschal Lamb and other Sacrifices of the Law thereby to intimate that the ancient Deliverance the Jews had obtained by their offering of Lambs for their First-born was but a Figure of that which was to be procur'd by his Death and that this Death was to be consider'd as a true Sacrifice by means of which GOD was certainly and fully reconcil'd to Sinners And this Truth it is evident CHRIST was willing to declare most sensibly to us 1. When He represents his Body as broken and his Blood as shed 2. When he wills us to eat the Bread of the Eucharist and drink of the Cup as Eating his Body and drinking his Blood. Indeed when Our Saviour commanded his Disciples and in their Persons all the Faithful to eat his Flesh and drink his Blood it is manifest that He would 1. Take off the restraint of the Old Law which forbad Sinners to eat of the Sacrifice that was offer'd for their Sins 2. Abolish that Precept of the same Law which absolutely injoyned Men to abstain from Blood. And as this intimates that those Victims of old had never made any through Expiation so it plainly shews that CHRIST offer'd up Himself as the true Sacrifice from which this Blessed Effect was to be look'd for Moreover after his having suggested these Ideas of Himself as a Victim slain He now represents Himself to us under the Notion of an High Priest when he says Mat. 26.29 I will not drink henceforth of this Fruit of the Vine until that Day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom In which words He alludes to the Custom of of the High Priest who after he had happily concluded his Solemn Sacrifice on the Day of Atonement and was come home safe from the Sanctuary where GOD had killed some he was wont to make a Feast to his Friends in token of joy for the good success of his Function 'T IS this important Truth the Apostle St. Paul so strongly asserts in his Epistle to the Hebrews And it is for the same reason that when he was desirous to take off the Corinthians from the Communion they had with Heathens in their Sacrifices he represents to them the Celebration of the Eucharist as a
