Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lord's Supper: Or, the Nature, Benefits and Obligations of the Commemorative Rite of the Christian Church
From the peculiarities of man's earthly existence as identified with the visible and material in creation, there is a Special fitness in employing natural Objects for the illustration and representation Of spiritual things. This fitness has been recognised by the Author of revelation. Perfectly acquainted with the condition and capacity of the human Spirit, he knew what sources of instruction were accessible to it, and what restrictions were imposed by investing it with material organs. Hence in the Sacred Volume, the whole visible creation is laid under tribute to convey to the soul of man ideas of things invisible, spiritual and eternal.
