of the sacrament of the Lords Supper before his death that our Saviour did neither offer nor intended to offer his reall body and blood in the institution of the sacrament of his last Supper in a propitiatory sacrifice under the externall forms of bread and wine for the quick and f●r the dead as is falsly pretended contrary to all truth of the Evangelicall History For as our Saviour while he was personally upon earth having execute his propheticall office by delivering to his Disciples his last Will and Testament by his sacred Word sealed by the sacramentall seal of baptizing which was to succeed in the Church in place of the sacrament of circumcision So our Saviour at the feast of the last Passeover being the next day to discharge his Priestly office as he is High Priest after the order of Melchisedeck by his sacrifice of the crosse whereby his promise of the blessed seed was to be fulfilled our Saviour before his death did likewise seal his last Will and Testament with the institution of the sacrament of his last Supper to succeed in place of the sacrament of the Passeover though not to be in force Heb. 9 17. till after the Testators death and resurrection according to the Scripture which Sacrament was not institute till the night before his death of the crosse in the end of the feast of the last Passeover and that for these two main fundamentall reasons The first is that by the institution of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper implying his whole last Will and new Testament the Disciples might understand Heb. 10 9. that the sacrament of the Passeover which is the sacrament of the old Testament implying the whole propheticall ceremoniall Law was actually determined The second reason that the Sacrament of the Lords Supper was not institute till the night before his suffering was that the Disciples faith might be strengthened against the sore temptation wherby they were to be assaulted the next day by our Saviours martyrdome in sustaining the fearfull curse of the Law by the cursed sacrifice of the crosse For though the Sacrament was instituted before our Saviours death yet it is expressed in words of the preterit time This my body which is given for you this my blood which is shed for you as if all had then been done and past and as if our Saviour had been then dead and risen from the dead which was a main reason to strengthen the Disciples faith in the Lords resurrection though they did see him dead and buried And therefore our Saviour that night Mat. 26.31 did put the Disciples upon their guard telling them that the Shepheard must be smitten that night and the sheep scattered yet comforting them withall that he should rise again Mat. 26.32 and go before them into Galilee By the truth of this relation of the sacred History the judicious Reader may manifestly perceive that there was not the least intent in our Saviour by the institution of the Sacrament of his last Supper before his death to shed so much as a drop of his precious blood much lesse to offer his reall body and blood in a propitiatory sacrifice for the dead and for the quick by his death which he was to do the next day after by his cursed sacrifice of the crosse as he is high Priest after the order of Melchisedeck Next to make the falshood of this assertion appear as plainly to the Reader by the very words of the institution of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Our Saviour in the end of the last Passeover by prescribing the manner of the celebration of the Sacrament of his last Supper to the Disciples which is by blessing and thanks-giving Mat. 26.26 27. having blessed took the bread and brake it to wit the bread and gave it to wit the bread to the Disciples saying Take eat this is my body that is this bread is my body of the new Testament which is given for you to wit as the flesh of the Pascall Lamb was my promised body of the old Testament which was promised to be given and broken for you Also having given thanks he took the cup to wit with the wine and gave it to wit the wine to them saying This is my blood of the new Testament which is shed for you that is this wine is my blood of the new Testament as the reall blood of the Pascall Lamb was my promised blood of the old Testament which was promised to be shed but not to be drunk by any Drink ye all of it that is of this wine And lest there should be any mistake in the word Wine which our Saviour calls his blood of the new Testament Mat. 26.28 he doth after in plain terms call it the fruit of the Vine saying Mat. 26 29. I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine untill that day when I shall drink it with you in my Fathers Kingdome which is meaned of the Evangelicall day of the Kingdome of Grace to wit the Lords Day whereby the Lord by his resurrection and rest from the fulfilling of his promise of the blessed seed did open the kingdome of Heaven to all Believers leading all men by the light of his Day to lay the hands of faith upon his merit whereby all Believers are made heirs of the Kingdome of Grace in this life and of the kingdome of Heaven in the life to come whose gracious merit is that bread of eternall life signified by the bread of the Sacrament as by the breaking of the bread the breaking of our Saviours body by the curse of the crosse and by the wine the shedding of his precious blood is signified whereby he did merit the bread of eternall life Our Saviour therefore by the institution of the Sacrament of his last Supper did deliver to his Apostles and in the Apostles to the Apostolicall successors the formall Sacrament of his last Will and new Testament and consequently not the reall s●crifice of his reall body and blood for there being both a reall and a formall difference between the formall Sacrament of the Lords Supper and his sacrifice of the crosse As the Sacrament of the Lords Supper cannot be his formall sacrifice of the crosse so can neither his formall sensi●ive sacrifice of the crosse be the formall Sacrament of his last Supper For in the Sacrament of his last Supper by the sensitive sacramentall elements the immediate object of faith is presented to the understanding by the medi●te senses which is the Lords merit by his cursed death of the crosse by his bloody rest in the grave and by his resurrection from the grave to be apprehended by the hands of faith while by our Saviours sacrifice of the crosse not the immediate but the mediate object of faith is by the mediate senses presented to the understanding which mediate sensitive object by interveening between the faith of man and the Lords merit faith and the immediate object are separate
