Thus in the Holy Mysteries there is represented unto us, not the Divine Nature of Christ, whereby he is Equal to the Father: But his Death, and Humility, whereby he abased him self, and was made Equal unto us. This is the Spiritual Meat, and Drink, and the only feeding of the Soul. • Thereof S. Paul saith,1 As often as ye shall eat of this Bread, and drink of this Cup, ye shall publish (not the Divine Nature, or Godhead, but) the Lords Death until he come.

So saithe Hesychius, 2Comedimus hunc Cibum, sumentes eius memoriam Passionis: Wee Eate this Foode, receiuinge the memorie (not of his glorie, but) of his Passion. So saith S. Ambrose, Quia Morte Domini liberati sumus, huius rei memores, in Edēdo, & Potando, Carnem, & Sanguinem, quae pro nobis oblata sunt, significamus: Bicause wee are deliuered by our Lordes Deathe, beinge mindeful thereof, in Eatinge, and Drinkinge, VVe Signifie, or Represente the Fleashe, and Bloude, that vvere offered vp for vs. Thus in the Holy Mysteries wee Eate, and Drinke the Sacramente of Christe Crucified in the Humilitie of his Fleashe.
