saint_n luke_n relate_v that_o jesus_n christ_n begin_v his_o last_o supper_n that_o after_o that_o he_o take_v bread_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o blessing_n the_o divine_a majesty_n break_v it_o and_o

although_o very_o notable_a touch_v the_o reason_n by_o which_o jesus_n christ_n invite_v we_o to_o drink_v his_o blood_n there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o the_o 17_o of_o leviticus_n verse_n 11_o and_z

say_v drink_v blood_n for_o it_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o remession_n of_o your_o sin_n it_o be_v then_o expedient_a for_o we_o to_o drink_v his_o blood_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n which_o seem_v to_o forbid_v it_o we_o from_o whence_o come_v it_o that_o the_o prohibition_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n be_v find_v to_o be_v build_v on_o the_o same_o foundation_n why_o do_v the_o same_o cause_n which_o oblige_v man_n to_o abstain_v from_o blood_n oblige_v we_o to_o participate_v of_o it_o how_o can_v one_o and_o the_o same_o reason_n serve_v to_o two_o

that_o we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o blood_n and_o blood_n between_o that_o of_o christ_n and_o that_o of_o live_a creature_n between_o the_o spiritual_a perception_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o corporal_a eat_n of_o the_o other_o between_o the_o typical_a expiation_n and_o the_o real_a expiation_n that_o moses_n speak_v of_o a_o blood_n which_o be_v but_o a_o seal_n and_o symbol_n of_o

the_o question_n remain_v still_o for_o behold_v what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v thereupon_o the_o law_n forbid_v to_o partake_v of_o blood_n because_o it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o
