TO consider, how christ our Lord did behold and contemplate that Lambe which he had before him on the table, layd there dead, flayed & ••osted. It is no question he saw him∣selfe represented more innocent then •• lambe, and how without any his deserts, he was to be flayed with stripes, and embr••ed with his owne
most precious bloud, through most cruell torments, and finally to be put as it were vpon the spit, & stretched on the table of the Crosse, where, with the hote burning coals of loue, he was to be rosted to death.
Ponder how bitter this supper was vnto thy Redeemer, being min∣gled with sauce of so distastfull a re∣presentation, as was that of his death and passion.
Purpose, when thou sittest at table, to mingle thy meat vvith this ••auce, to wit, with the consideration of the passion and paines of thy Sa∣uiour, that thou be not carryed a∣way with the gust and sauour of the meat: and that if thy meat be not good, or not so well dressed or seaso∣ned, or not in such due time prepa∣red 〈◊〉〈◊〉 thou wouldst, thou maist haue patience, and haue somewhat to off•••• vnto God, & make thy spirituall pro∣fit therof.
