he was to be eaten to get him roasted and to get bread and wine ready and what other provision was usuall and requisite for that meal At Even Iesus cometh and sitteth down with the twelve and as he ate he gave intimation of the Traitour who was now at the table and eating with him Which might seem to make this story the same with that in Ioh. 13.21 22. and so might argue that this and that were but one and the same Supper But herein is an apparent difference in the stories 1. At the Supper in Ioh. 13. Christ giveth only a private signification of the Traitour by a token given secretly to Iohn but here he points him out openly 2. There he gives him a sop here he only speaks of dipping with him in the dish Only there is some diversity in the Evangelists in relating this story Matthew and Mark have laid this taxation and discovery of the Traytour before the administration of the Lords Supper but Luke after And there is the like variety in their relating the time of these words of Christ I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine c. for Luke hath brought them in as spoken before the Sacrament but the other two after In both which first the main intent of the relation is to be looked after and then may we better state the time The intent in the former is to shew Iudas at the Table and at the Table all the time both of the Paschall and the Lords Supper those symboles of love and communion yet he such a wretch as to communicate in both and yet a Traitour The two Matthew and Mark would shew that he was at the Table and so the mention of that they bring in upon Christs first sitting down and beginning to eat And Luke makes the story full and shews that he was at the Table all the time both at Passeover and Sacrament and the words of Christ upon the delivering of the Cup But behold the hand of him that betrays me c. cannot possibly be mitigated from such a construction As to the later the meaning of Christ in the words I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine c. is that the Kingdom of God was now so near that this was the last meat and drink or the last meal that he was to have before that came By the Kingdom of God meaning his resurrection and forward when God by him had conquered death Satan and hell And whereas he saith Till I drink it n●w with you in the Kingdom of God he did so eating and drinking with them after his resurrection This therefore being the aim of his speech it was seasonable to say so any time of the meal This is the last meal I must eat with you till I be risen again from the dead And hereupon the Evangelists have left the time of his uttering of it at that indifferency that they have done And indeed these two passages had such reference one to another that the one might bring on the other and both of them might very well be spoken by Christ twice The observing of the direct order of Christs actions at this meal which the Evangelists have related will help to clear this matter When he was set down with them he first saith I have desired to eat this Passeover with you before I suffer for this is the last I must eat with you before the Kingdom of God be come And thereupon he taketh the first cup of wine that was to be drunk at that meal and drinks of it and gives it them and bids Divide it among your selves for I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine c. meaning this is the last time I shall eat and drink with you c. And this speech properly brought in the other One of you shall betray me as paraphrased speaking thus I shall no more eat with you for there is one now at the table with me hath compassed my death Hereupon they question who it should be c. After this passage they eat the Paschall Lamb after its rite and after it he ordaineth the Lords Supper Bread to be his Body henceforward in the same sense that the Paschall Lamb had been his Body hitherto and the Cup to be the New Testament in his Blood now under the Gospel as the blood of Bullocks had been the Old Testament in his Blood Exod. 24. And after the administring of the Cup he tels them again that that was the last that he must drink for the hand of him that betrayed him was at the Table SECTION LXXXIV LUKE Chap. XXII from Ver. 24. to Ver. 39. A contest among the Disciples about priority LUKE himself is a clear warrant for the order And withall the joynt consideration of the story before will help to confirm it The question among themselves about the traitour helpeth to draw on this other question about priority An unseasonable and a very unreasonable quarrell To which their Master giveth closely this twofold answer besides proposing his own example of humility 1. That let not them stand upon priority for he would equally honour them in his Kingdom c. 2. That this was not a time to stand upon such businesse as seeking to be preferred one before another for this was a time of sifting and a time when all the care they could take for their safety should be little enough therefore they had now something else to do then to look after precedency SECTION LXXXV JOHN Chap. XV XVI XVII CHRISTS last words to his Disciples and a Prayer for them JOHN in Chap. 18.1 informs us that when Iesus had spoken the words contained in these Chapters he went over the brook Kidron by which it appeareth that they were spoken at his last Supper instantly before he rose and went to the garden where he was apprehended At their Passeover Suppers they used large discourses seasonable and agreeable to the occasion and especially in commemorating what God had done for that people Whatsoever Christ had spoken upon that subject is not recorded but this which was more needfull for the Disciples present condition were agreeable to the great occasion now at hand and most beneficiall for the Church in time to come SECTION LXXXVI MAT.

XIX all the Chapters CHRISTS Apprehension Arraignment Death and Buriall THere is no difficulty in the connexion of the beginning of this Section to the preceding but only this that the rest of the Evangelists make mention of Christs singing of an hymn as the last thing he did before his setting out for the mount of Olives but Iohn maketh his speech and prayer to be last and speaketh not of his singing of a hymn at all Which indeed is
