PAR. 7.

BUt thēy had their double commons: or second rēfections, on théir gawdie daies: especially at the most solemne feast of the passeover. They fed both on the flocke and on the herd: and by them was the first and second supper distinguished.

Even at the wēaning of Isaak, Abraham made a great feast Gen: 21.8. At thē making of the covenant with Abimeleck, Abraham gave him sheepe and oxen. vers. 27. At Samuels weaning, his mother caused one bullocke to be slaine: and two other shee carried, either for peace-offerings, or to bestow upon Ely, 1 Sam. 1.24. for part of the Priësts portion was of oblations and sacrificēs. She brought also both winē and floure: (and floure) somewhat more, than the Law appointed, to make the feast, or the offering more compleat. At all feasts they had great variety; and at the most solemne feasts of the Passeover, had they no∣thing but Lambe? If they had more, did not Christ partake? Did hee sit by and eate nothing.

Next Chapter after institution of the Passeover, and in rēmembrancē of thē Passeover, when they were come into Canaan, they did sacrificē to the Lord,

all (cleane beasts) that opened the matrix, being males, Exod. 13.15, so the hērd was to be slaine, as well as the Lambe, in remembrance of the Passeover. More neerly, and punctually. Christ ate of the passeover at the first Supper, as I pro∣ved before: Christ did eate of the second supper, as I also from the Text plainly evinced. Concerning the third supper, (God willing) I shall speake hereafter.
