Exodus 24:8
This is the blood of the covenant.
◦ Our Saviour in the institution of the Eucharist, by using the same words, applying them to himself, This is my blood of the new Testament, signifieth that he fulfilled this figure at his last supper. Which proveth both a Sacrifice of blood then offered by him, as this blood of the old Testament was already shed, when Moyses pronounced those words; and the real presence of Christ's blood. For else, if it were but wine, it were not better in substance than the figure, which was real blood. Isychius. li. 1. c. 4. in Levit.
