53 was spoken before the holy Supper was instituted and must stand firm and true although that Sacrament had never been ordained To eat his flesh signifieth to be united with his flesh as our meat is with us which groweth into one intire body with us And to drink his blood signifieth to be united with the Soul of Christ for without an union of our flesh and soul with his flesh and soul Christ cannot profit us Therefore our Mother Ev● and we with Christ also in her must have taken both our flesh and soul from Adam else Eve must perish and so must we The Roman and also our Anglican Divines do greatly mistake the meaning of the Sacramental Cup in teaching that the Wine signifieth only the blood of Christ whereas indeed it presenteth not the blood but the Soul or Life of Christ It was not the shedding of his Blood literally taken that redeemed us for that might have been done without his death and he was dead on the Crosse before either his vital blood or Joh 19 34 water issued out of his body But the principal Act of our Redemption consisted in the giving up his Ghost or pouring out his precious Soul for us as himself had before professed The good Shepherd giveth his life for the Ioh 10 11 Sheep 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is his Soul for us and this fully correspondeth with the words of the Covenant first made with man In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die And we know that blood in the old Testament did signifie the life or soul of Creatures as a visible sign thereof because the Life or Soul it self is invisible So we read Deut. 12. 23. The blood is the life and so St. Austin expounds those words both there and Levit. 17. 14. a Cont Adimant cap 12 Cont Advers legis l 2 c 6 Anima Sanguis viz. in signo Non quia hoc erat sed quia significabat sicut dicitur Petraest Christus i. e. The blood is the life Not as if blood were our soul but because blood signifies the soul just so as it is said That Rock was Christ 1 Cor. 10. 4. Even the Heathen Poet calleth blood the soul of Man b Virg Aen 9 Purpuream vomit ille animam Verily if the Sacramental Wine represented nothing else but blood literally and not the Soul of Christ Romanists would be more excusable for with-holding the Cup from the People upon their own excuse which is indeed true That the body of Christ doth also include the blood But blood signifies more than so which they either know not or will not acknowledge although the same doctrine was formerly taught by their own Master of the Sentences even Peter Lombard about the year 1150. in these words c Lomb Sent. 4 dist 11 Panis ad carnem refertur Vinum ad animam ut animae carnis susceptio in Christo utriusque liberatio in nobis significetur The Sacramental Bread relateth to the Flesh and the Wine to the Soul that hereby the assuming of a soul and body by Christ and the deliverance of both in us might be signified Thus he which is also observed by Mr. Perkins Perk. Probl. p. 146 Mat. 26. 26 When Christ ordained the Mysterious Eucharist he said of the Bread Take eat This is my body he did not say here is my body not hic est but hoc est his meaning was my body to you is such a thing as this bread is to be to you it will be united with you and be one body with you so must you with me be united in one body that so by this union my obedience both Active and Passive may become your obedience Hereupon St. Paul saith The Bread which we break is it not the Communion of the body of Christ Communion 1 Cor. 10 16 we know is all one with Co-unio or unio-cum i. e. Communion signifies the mutual union or conjunction of Christ and his Members so not his Natural but his Mysticall body is here to be understood In like manner Christ himself said of the Wine This is my blood of the new Testament Mat. 26. 28 for the blood of the old typical or ceremonial Testament was only the life or soul of sacrifical Beasts which were killed and were but only a figure of Christ But the blood of the New Testament was the Life and Soul of Christ poured out for us Just so the Apostle saith The Cup of blessing s 1 Cor. 10 16 it not the communion of the blood of Chr●st that is The Wine received into us mysteriously signifieth the communion or co-union of Christ with us in one Soul And Christ had said before Drink ye all of this that he might thereby shew that all who can have benefit by Christ must needs communicate or be united with Christ as well in soul as in body For the Passion of Christ is not to be looked on as the passion of one private or single person for he was an universal man in whom all Men were comprehended so that in his Passion Death and Resurrection the Death Burial and Resurrection of all his Members is included as the Apostle saith a Rom. 6. 8 If ye be dead with Christ And b Col. 2 12 buried with him And c Col. 3. 1 If ye be risen with Christ by this union that saying of the Prophet before mentioned is performed d Ier. 31 30 Every o●e shall die for his own iniquity because all Men with Christ also were one in Adam as Austin saith against the Pelagians e Lib. 3. c. 7.
