All these things are laid before us in the holy Table, if we have eyes to see and behold them. There may we see the crucifying of his body, and the shedding of his blood, as it were in a glass. Therefore Christ sayeth, do this in remembrance of me: in remembrance of my benefit wrought for you: in remembrance of your salvation purchased by me. Saint Paul saith, As often as ye shall eat this bread, and 1drink this cup, ye show the Lords death till he come.

In this supper, lieth a hidden mystery, There is the horror of sin, there is the death of our Lord ⟨image 166⟩for our sin represented, how he was wounded for our sins, and tormented for our iniquities, and led as a lamb to the slaughter. There may we see the shame of the cross: the darkness over the world: the earth to quake: the stones to cleave asunder: the graves to open, and the dead to rise. These things may we see in the Supper: this is the meaning of these holy mysteries.
In this supper, lieth a hiddē mystery, There is the horror of sinne, there is ye death of our Lorde ⟨image 166⟩
