I speak this according to what is abroad and most commonly received. R. C (or M. Rich: Cudworth ) of Cambridge, hath not long since taken very commendable, and successeful pains in a new Discovery, and to prove this Sacrament religious by parentage; to wit, that it was founded in a Sacrificial Feast, (A conceit altogether New, and wholly different from all before.) If his well compacted reasons will hold water, as we use to say, and be so close wrought and well laid that they will stand out, and endure the touch of time (as they are very like, foundations he has fair, specious and large, and of much greater depth then most opinions, set aside Tradition, and received) they then prove that we feast in our Communion, from the like participation of what was sacrificed, left, and eaten by the people of Israel, and whereby they maintained (as some Gentiles also) a Communion both among themselvs and with their God: To eat together what was sacrificed to Him did unite and combine them as well among themselvs as with Him, and so we by Eating and drinking communicate with our God and with one another. The opinion I leave to it self; the disquisition is howsoever of much both sagacity, ingenuity, pleasure and use. May it promise of the Authour what was wont to be sung in the Temple every Sabbath, The righteous shall flourish like a Palm, and spread like a Cedar: Such as he planted in Gods house, shall flourish in his Courts, and bring forth MORE fruit in their Age, Psa. 92. The most and generally retain those grounds I go upon. |
