goe home from a Sacrifice should carry part of it to their friends And that Greeke Comedian himselfe alludeth there to it in these words {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Theocritus in his Bucoliastes doth expresse it fully {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} And Plautus in Miles Sacrificant Dant inde partem majorem mihi quam sibi These Portions which they carried home were called commonly by the Greekes {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and in the Umbrian Language as Festus tels us Strobula Theophrastus in his Characters uses the word {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} in this sense {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} ad sacrificantes epula concelebrantes accedit ut inde Portionem auferat And because they thought they did receive some blessing from the Gods with it therefore it was sometime called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} as we finde in Hesychius upon that word {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} But otherwise if there were any thing yet remaining it belonged to the Priests as we learne from that Scholiast which we have already commended upon Vespae {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} i. e. It was an ancient Law among the Athenians that the Priests should have the remainder Which is not onely to be understood of the skinne and such like parts but of the flesh of the Sacrifice it selfe as we learne from Saint Austine in his exposition upon Rom. 2. who tels us also that these reliques were sometimes sold for them in the Market whence that speech of Paul 1 Corin. 10. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles Eate asking no question for conscience sake I will shut up all with this one observation more that as we said of the Jewes that in the Wildernesse they did eate no meate but of that which they had first sacrificed In like manner the Heathens were wont to Sacrifice before all their Feasts Whence it is that Athenaeus observes Feasts among the ancient Heathens were ever accounted Sacred and Religious things And thus we must understand that speech of Paul in the 27. verse of the forenamed Chapter If any one that beleeves not invite you and you be disposed to goe whatsoever is set before you eate asking no question for conscience sake Nay it was accounted a prophane thing amongst them to eate any meate at their private tables whereof they had not first Sacrificed to the Gods as appeareth by that Greeke Proverb {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} used by Anacreon and others as a Brand of a notorious wicked man viz. one that would eate meate whereof hee had not sacrificed Now having thus shewne that both amongst the Iewes under the Law and the Gentiles in their Pagan worship for Paganisme is nothing but Iudaisme degenerate it was ever a Solemne Rite to joyne Feasting with Sacrificing and to EATE of those things which had beene offered up The very Concinnity and Harmony of the thing it selfe leads me to conceive that that Christian Feast under the Gospel called THE LORDS SUPPER is the very same thing and bears the same Notion in respect of the true Christian Sacrifice of Christ upon the Crosse that those did to the Iewish and Heathenish Sacrifices and so is EPULUM SACRIFICIALE a Sacrificiall Feast I meane a Feast upon Sacrifice or EPULUM EX OBLATIS A Feast upon things offered up to God Onely this difference arising in the Parallel that because those Legall Sacrifices were but Types and Shadowes of the true Christian Sacrifice they were often repeated and renewed as well as the Feasts which were made upon them But now the True Christian Sacrifice being come and offered up once for all never to be repeated we have therefore no more Typicall Sacrifices left amongst us but onely the Feasts upon the True Sacrifice still Symbolically continued and often repeated in reference to that ONE GREAT SACRIFICE which is alwayes as present in Gods sight and efficacious as if it were but now offered up for us CHAP. II. BUT me thinkes I heare it objected to me that the true Notion of the Lords Supper is to be derived rather from the Passeover among the Jewes It being the common opinion of Divines that the Jewes had but two Sacraments viz. Circumcision and the Passeover that answer to those two amongst us Baptisme and The Lords Supper But the Iewish Passeover had no relation to a Sacrifice being nothing else but a meere FEAST and therefore from Analogy to the Jewish Rites we cannot make the Lords Supper to be EPULUM SACRIFICIALE a Feast upon Sacrifice To which I answer First That I know not what warrant there is for that Divinity so magisterially imposed upon us by some that the Jewes had but two Sacraments Circumcision and the Passeover and that it should thence follow by inevitable consequence that the Lords Supper must {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} answer only to the Iewish Passeover Sure I am the Jewes had many more for not to instance in that of Paul Our Fathers were all BAPTIZED unto Moses in the Cloud and in the Sea like our Christian Baptisme And did all EATE the same Spirituall Meate viz. The Manna and did all DRINKE the same Spirituall drinke viz. The Water of the Rock that followed them like the Bread and Wine in the Christian Lords Supper Nor to Examine all the other Sacramentall Ceremonies which they had that were almost as many Sacraments as Ceremonies These Feasts upon the Sacrifices which we have all this while insisted on were nothing else but true and proper Sacraments * joyned with Sacrifices But secondly I will grant that the Jewish Passeover hath a speciall resemblance to the Christian LORDS SUPPER although upon other grounds For I say undoubtedly the Passeover was a true and proper Sacrifice and therefore the Pascall-Feast a Feast upon a Sacrifice So that this shall still advance and improve our former Notion For the better conceiving whereof we must understand that besides those foure Generall kinds of Sacrifices among the Jewes before mentioned The Burnt-offering The Sin-offering The Trespasse-offering and the Peace-offfering there were some other Peculiar kind of Sacrifices as the Masters tell us viz. these three {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} The Firstlings of Cattle and the Tenth and the Passeover And the reason why these in the Distribution of Sacrifices are thus distinguished by them from all the other Generall kind of Sacrifices is thus given by the famous Maymonides upon the Misna of the Talmud in Massecheth Zebachim the sixth Chap. {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Because those foure fourenamed were such kind of Sacrifices as that a private person was often bound to each of them in severall cases and the whole Congregation in severall seasons but these three were not of that nature being peculiarly
