Reverend Brethren,

N a former Difcourfe, upon the like Occafion, I endeavoured to explain the Sacrificial Part of the Eucharift more minutely than I had before done, for the removing of Scruples, and the obviating Mistakes. I would now do fomething of like Kind with refpect to the Sacramental Part of the fame, fo far as it appears to be affected by the Sacrificial; that fo Both Parts may aptly fuit with each other, and hang naturally together. As Truth is uniform, fo juft Notions of one Part will of Course tend to preferve just Ideas of the other Part alfo: And as Error is apt to lead to Error, so any erroneous Tenets there, will naturally bring in erroneous Pofitions here.

The Chriftian Sacrifice explained. In a Charge to the Middlefex-Clergy, April 20. 1738.

It is Matter of Fact, that for the Sake of advancing a new Kind of Sacrifice, new Doctrines have been offer'd, time after time, with regard even to the Sacramental Part of the Eucharist: Which in Truth is as much fuperior to the Sacrificial, as God's Part in That Holy Rite is fuperior to Man's; and which therefore calls for our more efpecial Caution and Circumfpection.

Great Stress has, by fome amongst us fince 1702, been laid upon the Invocation and Illapfe of the Holy Ghost upon the Elements; not barely to make them facred Signs and Pledges, or exhibitive Symbols of Chrift's Body and Blood to every faithful Communicant (which might reasonably be admitted) but even to make them the very Body, or verily the Body of Chrift: Not the natural Body, but Another true Body, called a Spiritual Body, confifting, as is prefumed, of Elements changed in their inward Qualities, and replenished either with the Holy Spirit Himself, or with the Graces, or Virtues, or Energies of the Spirit; fuppofed to be intrinfick
