Furthermore s. Austen sayeth 1Hunc itaque cibū & potū societatē uult intelligi corporis & membrorum suorū qd est sancta ecclesia in predestinatis & uocatis & justificatis & glorificatis sanctis & fidelibus •ius. Huius rei sacramentū alicubi quotidie, alicubi ⟨image 40⟩certis interuallis dierum in dominico preparatur• & de men•a Domini sumitur, quibusdam ad uitam, quibusdam ad exitium. Res uero ipsa cuius est sacramen•um, est omni homini ad uitam, •ulli ad extium, qui•unque eius particeps su•rit. That is to say / he will that •his meat and drink s•ulde be understood to be the fellowship of his body & membris which is the holy churches in the predestinate and called and justified and glorified his saints and faithful, The sacrament of this t•inge is prepared in some place daily / a•d in some place at certain appointed days as on the sunday And it is received •r•m t•• table of the lord / to some unto ••ffe and to some unto destruction. Bu• •he thing it s•••fe whose sacrament this is • is re••y•ed of all me• un•o •iff / and of no man vto […] who so ever is partaker of it. Here doth uen first say / that this sacrament is the owshyp of his body and members which are we. And yet it is not our natural body / as is before said. And then he saith that te sacrament of this thing is received of some unto life and salvation and of sme unto dt and damnation. For both faithful and faythfull may receive the sacrament. And after he sayeth / that the thing it self whose sacrament it is / is received of all men unto life and of no man unto destruction / who so ur is partaker of it. And of this saying it must needs follow / that only the faithful eat CHRISTS body / and the unfaithful eat him not For he is received of no man unto destruction
