Who gives this food to us, but He that gave himself for us? that shepherd that feeds his Lambs (not on his grounds, but) with his wounds▪ his broken flesh, and sluiced blood, Hence from this great Parliament of Peace, made in that once acted, and for ever-virtual sacrifice) derive we pardon for our sins, without impeachment to the justice of so high a Judge, as we had offended. Thus the King of eternal glory, to the worlds eye, destating himself (though indeed not by putting off what he had,1 but by putting on what he had not) was cast down for us, that we might rise up by him. Learn of me to be humble, wherein he gives us a precept and a pattern:c the one requiring our obedience, the other our conformity. The Pelican rather then her young ones shall famish, feeds them with her own blood. Christ for the better incorporating of his to himself, feeds them with his own flesh, but spiritually. So that we eat (not onely panem Domini, as the wicked, but panem Dominum) not only the bread of the Lord, but the bread the Lord, in a Sacramental truth.
Who giues this foode to vs, but He that gaue himselfe for vs? that shepheard that feedes his Lambes (not on his grounds, but) with his wounds▪ his broken flesh, and sluced bloud, Hence from this great Parliament of Peace, made in that once acted, and for euer-virtuall sacrifice) deriue we pardon for our sinnes, without impeachment to the iustice of so high a Iudge, as wee had offended. Thus the King of eternall glory, to the worlds eye, destating himselfe (though indeed not by putting off what he had,1 but by putting on what he had not) was cast downe for vs, that we might rise vp by him. Learne of me to be humble, wherein he giues vs a precept and a patterne:c the one requiring our obedience, the other our conformity. The Pelican rather then her young ones shall famish, feedes them with her owne bloud. Christ for the better incorporating of his to himselfe, feedes them with his owne flesh, but spiritually.
