Christ has given us, not only the ritual of an ordinance, but the pattern for our lives, when He took the cup, and gave thanks.

Sweet is the juniper, but sharp his bough;

Sweet is the nut, but bitter is his pill;
Sweet is the broome-flowre, but yet sowre enough;
And sweet is moly, but his root is ill.
