Afterward he eateth of the flefh of the Paffeover, though it bee but fo much as an olive,& tafteth nothing at all after it: that it may he the end of his fupper,and dut the tafte of the firth of the PA-rover, may remaine in his mouth. After this,he lifteth up his hands,and bleffeth for the third cap of wine and drinketis it. Then filleth hee the fourth cup, and accom- plifheth for it the Praife(or Hymne;) and fayeth for it,the biding of the Song, which is , Al tby worh1es praife thee 0 Lord,&c. (Píalme 145.to.)and bleffeth God that created the fruit of the vine,ared talleth nothingat all after it all the night,except water.

But he is not bound (they fay) to that cup, as to the fonce former cups. Thefe things are !hewed by Maimory in his Treatife of Leven and unlevened bread,chapter 8. where allo he noteth Come diffe- rences at this time, when having no Temple, they can have no facrifice, neither kill the Pal - challLambe;but onely ufe the unleavened bread, bitter herbes, and wine', in their private houles. After,in his Copie of the Haggadah (or Narration) of the.Paffeover, hee !hewed.* what words they ufed at the breaking and delivering of the unle- vening bread; This it the bread of aff&tlion,which our Fathers did eat in the landof .Egypt : wbofoever it hun- gry, let him come and ease: whafoever hash need, let him come and kgepe the Fafover, &c. Theft ob- fervations of the Jewes whiles their Common- wealth flood, and to this day, may give light to fore particulars in the Paffeover that Chrift kept; as why they lay dawn, one leaning on ano- thers bofame,Ioh. 13.23.

Yet they fay it was lawful to be 3e it with wine, or ayle, or any liquor except water ; alfa , lawful! to dip the.,tie fb when it was raffled , in liqueurs , or juyce of fruits. 113aimony, in Korban Pefaeh, chapter 8.
