e.' The Father giveth this bread, the Son giveth this
bread; whosoever will, may take of this bread, and the promise with
it. Father, I take this bread, I take and believe that I have in thee
eternal life, according to thy word. O holy and blessed Comforter,
Spirit of the Father and of the Son, whose office it is to take of the
things of Christ and show them unto his redeemed, when the bread and
the water that perish can no longer refresh this dying body, apply
this living bread and living water to my soul, that life may spring up
in the midst of death; and in that trying hour, bear witness with my
spirit that I dwell in Christ, and Christ in me, and that I shall
never die.
