OF THE LORDS SVPPER

THE SECOND PART, OF MANS DELIVERIE

  1. How art thou in the Lords Supper admonished and warranted, that thou art partaker of that onely sacrifice of Christ offered on the Crosse, and of all his benefites?

    Because Christ hath commaunded me and all the faithfull to eate of this breade broken, and to to drinke of the cup distributed in remembrance of him, with this promise adioined. First, that his bodie was as certainly broken and offred for me on the Crosse, and his bloud shed for me, as I behold with my eies the bread of the Lord broken vnto me, and the cup communicated to me: and further that my soul is no lesse assuredly fed to euerlasting life with his bodie, which was crucified for vs, and his bloud, which was shedde for vs: than I receiue and tast by the mouth of my bodie the bread and wine, the signes of the bodie and bloud of our Lord, receiued at the hand of the Minister.
