Notes by Edward Hitchcock arguing against the idea that wine is important to the Eucharist because its the redness reminds one of the blood of Christ. Hitchcock cautions that any feelings brought up by the wine's similarity to blood are animal feelings, not moral feelings. He stresses that one should be capable of considering Christ's suffering and of having religious feelings without being reminded of blood.
