We say, that Eucharistia, that is to say, the Supper of the Lord, is a Sacrament, that is, an evident Representation of the Body, and Blood of Christ: wherein is set, as it were, before our eyes, the Death of Christ, and his Resurrection, and what so ever he did, whilst he was in his Mortal Body: to the end we may give him thanks for his Death, and for our deliverance. And that by the often receiving of this Sacrament, we may daily renew the remembrance thereof, to the intent we being fed with the Body, and Blood of Christ, may be brought into the hope of the Resurrection, and of Everlasting Life: and may most assuredly believe, that, as our bodies be fed with Bread, and Wine, so our Souls be fed with the Body, and Blood of Christ.
