Luke 22. 19. to speak of which is only pertinent to the thing in hand The two first Evangelists affirm that only his Disciples were with him see Mat. 26. 19. The disciples came and said to him so Mark the 14. 16. The disciples went forth but St. Luke comes more close and in the 14th verse of the 22. Chapt. saith And when the hour was come that was to eat the Passeover he sat down with the Twelve Apostles So then here we have them who were with him not intimated only by their general name of Disciples which they had in common with the Seventy but the name of their particular Office which was appropriate only to them St. Luke doth particularize in the Case of these men sent into the Town St. Matthew vers 17. where before leaves it at large That he sent Disciples but how many or who is not discovered by him St. Mark Chap. 14. v. 13. punctually sets down the Number he sent two of his Disciples But St. Luke 22. 8. tells who they were James and John I put down this to shew the punctuality of that Evangelist in his Description who writing after the other seems more particuarly to set down some things than the other did especially in this Story Well we see who they were that were with our Saviour at the Celebration of his last Passeover and the last indeed that ever was or could be exacted of the Jews That at the Celebration of it and so likewise at the Institution of the Lords Supper his Twelve Apostles were those that were with him Now they being at Supper in the places before alledged you may observe that he took bread c. But in the 10th of the 22. of St. Luke at the later end of the verse he said this do in remembranc● of me this do hoc facit● do this thing this thing ye see me do It cannot relate to their own Actions which were only eating and drinking which could in no resemblance Communicate the Death of Christ But Consecrate the Bread and Wine with a Benediction with this Expression this is my body this is my blood and so in my place distribute this in Commemoration of me for although in St. Luke this very phrase do this is only applyed to the Bread yet St. Paul according to what he had received from the Lord 1 Cor. 11. 25. saith that he used the same to the Cup likewise this do ye as oft as ye drink it in remembrance of me and indeed St. Luke doth most punctually imply the same although not expresly enforce it in verse 20. likewise also the Cup after Supper saying This likewise referring as St. Paul expresseth to the Conclusion of the 19. verse Do this likewise in remembrance of me he said the same likewise ter the same manner concerning the Cup. Well you see both of these how they are to be celebrated according to Christs Institution now there is a Question raised which I do not find from Christs time downward untile now Who is the Minister of this Sacrament SECT II. Who the proper Minister of this Sacrament THere are many disputes I grant but moved newly there is as I hear though I read it not a Question Whether there be any proper Minister or no of the Communion Consider therefore with me this Text There were none with our Saviour but the Twelve Apostles it is said to these Do this from that Time downward it hath been held that none but Apostolical men Successors of them should do it It is a Thing of the greatest and highest Concernment to a mans Soul that ever was Heaven or Hell is at Stake upon it if we misse Consider it is a kind of lifting up a Creature beyond its Nature Bread and Wine to the body and blood of Christ it is no matter which way one way or other it is a Command given to a selected Number of men These are described by that Office not by a General Notion to be the men are spoken to who then can conceive but so great a power with so great a blessing should be Committed to such men Well then I think it clear here was a Covenant instituted what it was is in other places and Laws of our Saviour described and belongs not to my businesse this only appertains to my businesse That the Apostles were Instituted and they only the Ministers of it only this little I will adde lest some mens observation may stagger at it SECT III. The Communion was Instituted before our Saviours Death THat though our Baptism may perchance appear to take its force from some Command of Christs after his Death yet this of the Lords Supper was now instituted before and yet doth relate to his Death First because Circumcision was not determined but the Passeover was which prefigured the Lords Supper and this which he now celebrated and had finished was the last which by Gods Command should be celebrated among the Jewes Secondly because the Death of our Saviour was at hand so near that there could be no Communion interposed betwixt this and that and therefore it was as it were given in the very Nick of time and as while the Passeover was on foot no Communion could be expected so as soon as that is expired no I●terim betwixt this and that This must appear in its Institution I have done with this I only Consider that as in humane Affairs he that should take upon him the Kings person to act as he without he make him Chancellor or Judge enters into an high presumption so and much greater must his pride be that dares to act Christ in the Sacrament to call for a Sacramental Virtue to the Elements without his Authority which seems to be granted only to this Sort of men and to none other thus I think you see the full Commission of the Apostles until now restrained to the Jews and they were instituted as yet Preachers of the Kingdom of God to come At this Institution of the Communion the Celebraters of that That they and the other Disciples did baptize before is evident That they did not do it without a Commission in honour to them and their piety I am resolved it could not be But what that Baptism was or when or how farr they had a Commission I find not and therefore dare determine nothing CHAP. IV. Gods Method for Mans Salvation WHen our Saviour was Dead and had suffered for the Sins of Mankind he then brake down the partition wall that was betwixt the Jew and Gentile he then as he suffered for the Sins of the whole World so he took Care how all the World should be partakers of these Sufferings of his he could by Divine power have stamped their Souls with infused Graces and by Compulsion have forced men to that ●aith which should be saving but then Heaven and Hell had not been praemium poena he took therefore such a Course as might most ordinately bring men to his
