PARAGRAPH 1. The sixth particular of the fourth Generall.
The next point is the giving of thankes, at the end of the second Supper, which certaine∣ly was done according to the Order of those times.
CHrist was more holy, more frequent in Benedictions or giving of thankes, than the Iewish observances, usances, or Rites commanded, or practized, on any occasions; especially now at the end of this Se∣cond Supper; I have read that they had a Grace, and Responsall; and that they were these.
The Master of the feast brake forth into these words, first:
Benedicamus, sive gratias agamus ei, qui de suo nos cibavit, & cujus bonitate vivimus. Blessed, or thanked bee God, who hath fed us, and by whose goodnesse we live. The rest of the guests answered: Benedictus sit ipse: Let him be blessed, or praysed.
