had sprinkled half of the Blood upon the Altar of God so he took the other half of the Blood and sprinkled it on the People and said these remarkable words v. 8. Behold the blood of the Covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words Thus God made the First and Old Covenant with the Jews by Sacrifice thus he set up the Jewish Religion The Christian Religion or the Second and New Covenant or Testament was also set up by the Sacrifice of the Death of Christ and for this reason his Blood is called the Blood of the New Testament Matth. 26.28 Exod. 24.8 Matth. 26.28 Mark 14.24 Luk. 22.20 1 Cor. 11.25 1 Pet. 1.2 or Covenant to distinguish it from the Blood of the Old and First Covenant or Testament So it is called after the example of Moses and with allusion to that Expression of his Behold the Blood of the Covenant The Night before our Saviour dy'd He spake of his Blood as the Blood of the New Testament And with small variation of words to the same sense He says the New Testament in my Blood With relation to this there is mention of Sanctification and sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus Christ And of those who live contrary to the Religion of Christ 't is said Of how much sorer punishment Heb. 10.29 suppose ye shall he be thought worthy who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and hath counted the blood of the Covenant wherewith he was Sanctified an unholy thing By the Blood of the Covenant we are consecrated and made holy unto God and if we Sin wilfully contrary to that consecration we act as those who account the Blood of that Covenant an unholy thing By this Blood of the Covenant we are obliged to be holy and by the Death of Christ whose Blood that is the Christian Religion was set up or the New Covenant established And the word sometimes signifies a Testament or Will Where a Testament is Heb. 9.16 17 18. there must also of necessity be the death of the Testator For a Testament is of force after men are dead otherwise it is of no strength at all while the Testator liveth Whereupon neither the first Testament was dedicated without blood c. where the Apostle recounts the history of setting up the Jewish Religion by Sacrifice as it is Exod. 24. 3. The Jewish Religion or the First and Old Covenant or Testament was founded upon the Israelites deliverance out of Egypt as is manifest from the Preamble to the Decalogue which is the words of the Covenant And the Christian Religion or Second and New Covenant or Testament was founded in the Deliverance or Salvation of Mankind by Jesus Christ The Jewish Religion or the First and Old Covenant or Testament was founded upon the Israelites Temporal Deliverance out of Egypt and as Moses was the Deliverer of that People so he was the Mediator of that Covenant This therefore God made the Preamble to his Law of the Ten Commandments God spake all these words saying Exod. 20.1 2. I am the Lord thy God or Jehovah thy God Jehovah being the Name by which God had peculiarly made himself known to the Jews God spake unto Moses Exod. 6.2 3. Gen. 17.1 35.11 48.3 and said unto him I am the Lord I am Jehovah And I appeared unto Abraham unto Isaac and unto Jacob by the Name of God Almighty El-Shaddai I am the Almighty God I am El-Shaddai That was the Name whereby God made himself known unto ' Abraham Isaac and Jacob But by my Name Jehovah was I not known to them Jehovah was the Name God used at the Delivery of the Jews out of Egypt and is the Importance of that I AM That I AM. Thus therefore God prefaced the Decalogue I am the Lord or Jehovah thy God which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage Thou shalt have no other Gods before me c. Thus God mentions the Deliverance of that People out of Egypt as the Foundation of the Covenant he made with them They were the People whom he had redeemed from their Enemies and with them He made this Covenant The Ten Commandments are called the Words of the Covenant and therefore the Preface to the Ten Commandments is the Foundation of that Covenant Exod. 34.28 Deut. 9.9 11 15. Josh 4.7 Judg. 20.27 and 1 Sam. 4.3.1 Chron. 17.1 Jer. 3.16 and Heb. 9.4 Exod. 24.3 Deut. 5.1 c. 5. Exod. 19.5 c. Dr. Lightfoot V. 1. p. 711. Sect. 24. Exod. 19.9 16 19. He wrote upon the Tables the Words of the Covenant the Ten Commandments And for this Reason the Tables are called the Tables of the Covenant And these Tables were put in the Holy Chest or Ark which is also called the Ark of the Covenant Moses does indeed speak of more than the Ten Commandments even all the Words of the Lord and all the Judgments but the Decalogue was a principal part as we have seen And Moses puts all together and instances in the Decalogue Moses called all Israel and said unto them Hear O Israel the Statutes and Judgments which I speak in your ears this day that ye may learn them and keep and do them The Lord our God made a Covenant with us in Horeb i. e. at Mount Sinai which is the same Hill for one side of it was called Horeb and the other side was called Sinai The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers but with us even with us who are all of us here alive this day The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire I stood between the Lord and you at that time and was Mediator to shew you the word of the Lord for ye were afraid by reason of the fire and went not up into the Mount saying I am the Lord thy God which brought thee out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage Thou shalt have no other Gods c. The Sabbaths were a sign that the Jews did belong unto God Exod. 31.13 Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you And in the Fourth Commandment the reason of the Sabbath is given viz. their Deliverance out of Egypt Deut. 5.15 Remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence with a mighty hand and with a stretched-out arm therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath-day Thus the Jewish Religion was set up and the Old and First Covenant established among the Jews with a special reference to their Deliverance out of Egypt which was a Temporal Salvation The Christian Religion or the Second and New Covenant or Testament was established upon the Spiritual Deliverance or Salvation of Mankind

A PLAIN and SHORT DISCOURSE Concerning the NATURE OF THE Lord's Supper AND THE END of Celebrating it To which is added A PARAPHRASE of all those Places in the New Testament wherein the Lord's Supper is mentioned By JOHN JEFFERY D. D. Arch-Deacon of Norwich LONDON Printed for W. Rogers at the Sun against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleetstreet 1699. A PLAIN and SHORT DISCOURSE Concerning the Nature of the Lord's Supper IT has with great wisdom been always judged fit That men should be admitted into the Fellowship of that Religion they profess by some solemn Rite of Initiation and that men should be frequently reminded how their Religion obliges them to live by repeated Ceremonies of Commemoration So it was in all the false Religions that were invented by men and so it has been in the true Religions that were established by God Thus men were admitted into the Fellowship of the Jewish Religion by Circumcision and were reminded of the Obligations of their Religion by the three yearly Festivals We Christians are admitted into the Fellowship of our Religion by Baptism and we are reminded of the Obligations of it by the Lord's Supper There is but one Baptism as there is but one Admission We are Baptized but once because we are admitted into the Number of the Disciples of Christ but once To pretend to receive those into the Church of God who are in it already is absurd and therefore we are but once Initiated But as 't is necessary that they who profess the true Religion should live according to it So because men are apt to forget and neglect their Religion therefore it is requisite they should be often put in mind of the Obligations they are under from their Religion and that they be often persuaded to live as they are obliged For this great and wise Purposé the Lord's Supper is appointed viz. For a Solemn Remembrance of the setting up the Religion by the Son of God our Saviour at his Death That by such a sensible Commemoration we may be prevailed with to live as Christians I shall First Manifest this to be the Design of our Blessed Lord in appointing his Supper And Secondly Draw some Instructions from thence concerning the Celebrating of the Lord's Supper First I shall manifest this to be the Design of our Blessed Saviour in appointing his Supper by it to remind his Disciples of the Obligations they are under from his Religion and to persuade them to live according to those Obligations The Design of our Saviour in this Institution will best be understood by the words he used when he first appointed it and the meaning of those words must be gathered from the use of them in the Holy Scripture And what I have to say to this purpose I shall comprehend in the following Particulars 1. The Jewish Religion when it was set up was called the Covenant and since with respect to the Christian Religion the First and Old Covenant The Christian Religion also is called the Covenant and by way of distinction from the Jewish Religion 't is called the Second and New Covenant That the Jewish Religion was called the Covenant see Exod. 24.8 and the word which we there translate Covenant is in the Translation of the LXX 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the same which is the Title of the Two Volumes of the Scriptures the Jewish and Christian and when used in those Scriptures is translated by Covenant or Testament As the Jewish Religion considered absolutely in it self is called the Covenant Heb. 8.6.9 10. and Heb. 9.16 17. Heb. 8.7 v. 8. so compared unto the Christian Religion is called the First and Old Covenant or Testament and the Christian Religion is called the Second and New Covenant or Testament If the first Covenant had been faultless then should no place have been sought for the second For finding fault he saith Behold the days come saith the Lord when I will make a New Covenant c. and Jerem. 31.31 34. In that he saith a New Covenant he hath made the first old c. Thus as the Jewish Religion is called the First and Old Covenant or Testament so the Christian Religion is called the Second and New Covenant or Testament And this Title is given to the Books in which the Doctrine of the Christian Religion is contained The New Testament or Covenant 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to distinguish it from the Jewish Religion and the Books in which the Doctrine of that Religion is contained which is called the Old Testament or Covenant 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies a Law Vid. Grot. ad Tit. N.T. and a Covenant and a Testament or Last Will. A Law has the nature of a Covenant and a Covenant has the Nature of a Law as Aristotle observes And so we sometimes speak calling the Jewish Religion the Old Law and the Christian Religion the New Law And as a Covenant lays upon men such an Obligation as a Law does so when the Covenant is between Superiors and Inferiors and especially when it is between God and men it comes nearer to the nature of a Law A last Will or Testament has also the nature of a Covenant and a Law for it obliges those who are concerned according to its Tenor and they who would receive any Benefit from such a Will or Testament must perform the Conditions required in it And as both these Religions were established by Blood and the Christian Religion was established by the Death of Christ so the New Covenant has the similitudes of a Will or Testament Heb. 9.16 For where a Testament is there must also of necessity be the death of the Testator whose Will and Testament it is 2. The Jewish Religion or the Old and First Covenant or Testament was set up by Sacrifice and the Blood of the Sacrifice is called the Blood of the Covenant The Christian Religion or New and Second Covenant or Testament was also set up by Sacrifice i. e. the Death of Christ and his Blood is called the Blood of the Covenant and distinctly The Blood of the New Covenant or Testament The Jewish Religion the Old and First Covenant or Testament was set up by Sacrifice therefore God says concerning the Jews Psal 50.5 Gather my Saints together unto me those that have made a Covenant with me by Sacrifice And how that was done we may see Exod. 24.3 Moses the Mediator of that Covenant between God and the Jews came and told the People all the Words of the Lord and all the Judgments and all the People answered with one voice and said Exod. 24.7 All the words which the Lord hath said will we do The words of this Covenant Moses wrote in a Book and offered Sacrifice and took the Book of the Covenant and Read in the Audience of the People v. 6. and they said All that the Lord hath said will we do and be obedient And as Moses
