The Lord Christ, the eternal Wisdom of the Father, and who
of God is made unto us wisdom, erects a spiritual house, wherein
he makes provision for the entertainment of those guests whom he so freely
invites. His church is the house which he hath built on a perfect number
of pillars, that it might have a stable foundation: his slain beasts and
mingled wine, wherewith his table is furnished, are those spiritual fat
things of the gospel, which he hath prepared for those that come in
upon his invitation. Surely, to eat of this bread, and drink of this wine,
which he hath so graciously prepared, is to hold fellowship with him; for
in what ways or things is there nearer communion than in such?
