drink in ? Or despise ye the church of God , and shapae those that have not ? What shall I say unto you ? Shall I praise you in this ? I praise
you-not . ' * Does not the apostle , by his censuring ^ he ^ r coming "together into one * place , " condemn the public celebration of this rite ? He inquires with warmth , " What ! Have ye not houses . to eat aud drink in ? " From this warm
remonstrance against the disorderly apd public exhibition of this feast , so rj ^ rfectly in consonance with the pri-(; v ^ e eatin g of the passoyer , ; aiid the . affecting nemejKibranqe of it , as the last social repast qf his great Master , we , find the apostle instantly refers to his Lord ' s account of the transaction , as suflScient to remove all the disorder
of which he here complains . " For I have received from the Lord that which I delivered also unto you , that the Lord Jesus * the night on which he was delivered up , took bread , and
gave thanks , and brake it , and said , ' This is my body which is broken ; for you , do this in remembrance of me , ' In like manner he took the cup also when he had supped , saying , ' This cup is the 7 i # w covenant through my blood , do this , a $ often as ye shall drink it , in remembrance of me . '"
The peculiar propriety of the whole of this account * is plainly indicated by the characters to whom it was originally addressed . They had been jnpemb ^ rs of a churc h . possessing an " old
covenant ; " here is a new one , intended to supersede the other altogether . Th 6 injunction , "Do this as often as ye shall drink it , " i . e . as often as ye celebrate the passoyer , with a new
designation * " m remembrance of me , " implies persons who have frequently observed this rite , under the sanction of a prior authority . It is evident that our Lord was anxioqs to give to the celebration of the passover a new interest amongst those of his disciples who were familiar with Jewish
ceremonies , and were likely , at least during their own lives , to continue the practice of them . Indeed , allowing the supposed perpetuity of this rite , we find nothing to alter its private
celebration , or to change its annual occurrence . T ^ e apostle severely censures the Corinthians for the impropriety of it * publicity 5 " WJiat ! Have ye not hpu ^ , \ &c . , Under all the circumstances of the

case , we are fully at liberty to . presume , that without an cxp » f * t « direction to the contrary ; ( and which is no > where to be found , ) the apostles , as Jews , were not likely to alter the legal time of celebrating the pass < fcv&r , nor in such celebration omit any of the prescribed requisites of the feast . With a violation of the one , or a deviation
from the other , the present investigation is not encumbered ; It ought , likewise , to be kept in remembrance , that the apostle in this part of his epistle , is confining himself
altogether to hi * Jewish proselytes - This is made evident < by t ^ rtting to the commencement of the prev iotas chapter t ^( Moreover , brethren , f ' &c « and it end * with the close of : the
