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.
2. We shew forth the Lords death in the act of receiving, by using the Signes and Symboles of his body broken and his bloud shed for us, and by meditating vpon his death thereby represented.
3. We deny not that by praise we show forth the Lords death also, but this is not in the act of receiving. It is to be marked with aPareus, that the showing forth of the Lords death, must not be restricted to the act of receiving the Sacrament, because we do also show forth his death, by the preaching of the Gospel, and by private and public celebration of it, yea by a perpetual study of sanctification and thankfulness. So that the showing forth of the Lords death, by extolling, preaching, magnifying and praising the same, according to the 23. Sect. Of the Confession of faith, to which his Argument hath reference, may not be expounded of the very act of receiving the Sacrament. Neither do the words of the Institution refuse, but easily admit another showing forth of the Lords death, then that which is in the very act of receiving. For the word is not quando, but quoties. It is only said, as often as ye eat this breed and drink this cup ye do show &c. Which words can not be taken, only of the instant of eating and drinking.
