Sacrament

,—the Eucharist the holy Commu­nion, the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, which generally takes place about eleven or twelve o’clock in the morning, when (according to the doctrine of the Romish or Popish church) the priest (in a manner worthy of Breslaw, Hymen, Palatine, Kat­terfelto, or of any other most accomplished con­juror) after muttering a mystical abracadabra of Dog-Latin, actually changes a piece of half-baked dough, and a bottle of good old port, into the real body and blood of Christ!
