He speeds no better in proving that we should receive the Sacrament Sect. 24 with thanksgiving. Whatsoever benefit; saith he, we should receive by extolling and preaching, and magnifying and praising the inestimable worth and excellency thereof, the same we ought to receive with thanksgiving. But in the Sacrament we should receive the blood of Christ with extolling and preaching, &c. The assumption he confirms by the words of our Saviour: Do this in remembrance of me. And by the words of S. Paul: So oft as ye shall eat this Bread and drink this Cup, ye shall declare, that is extol, magnify, and praise the Lords death, till he come again. ⟨p. 76⟩Answ. His assumption is false, neither can his proofs make it true.

First, we remember Christ in the act of receiving, by meditation, and not by praise.
2. We show forth the Lords death in the act of receiving, by using the Signs and Symbols of his body broken and his blood shed for us, and by meditating upon his death thereby represented.
