From that which hath been said, of following Christ and the Sect. I commendable example of his Apostles, in all things wherein it is not evident that they had some such special reason moving them to do that which they did, as doth not concern us ⟨p. 22⟩Our first inference is this: That it is not indifferent for a Minister to give the Sacramental Elements of Bread and Wine, out of his own hand, to every communicant; for as much as our Lord commanded his Apostles to divide the Cup among them, that is, to reach it one to another, Luk 22. 17. Some of the interpreters are of opinion; that the Cup spoken of by the Evangelist in that place, is not the same whereof he speaketh after vers. 20. but they are greatly mistaken: for if it were as they think, then Christ did again drink before his death, of that fruit of the Wine, whereof we read vers 17. 18. which is manifestly repugnant to his own words. Wherefore as cMaldonat observeth out of Augustine and Euthimius, there was but one Cup, whereof Luke speaketh first by anticipation, and afterward in its own proper place.
