This will prefently appear to be amaterial Enquiry. B And [2] And, firfl-, the author of the Sacrameit^explain d ^ expreffes himfelf upon this headas follows.

At firfl view, one woud be tempted toafk, why the words efpecially in the New^ejiament are inferted here, fince one woudfcarce expedt to be referd to the Old T^ejia-ment for a true knowledge of any Inftitutionof Jefus Chrifl.
