Or that, which Christ him self said, not only after the Blessing of the Cup, but also after he had Ministered the Communion, I will drink no more of this Fruit of the Vine. It is well known, that the Fruit of the Vine is Wine, and not Blood.

Christ (say they) him self said, not only after the blessing of the Cup, but after he had Ministered the Communion, I will drink no more of this Fruit of the Vine. Hereunto they add of their own heads,* It is well known, that the Fruit of the Vine is Wine, and not Blood. By this they would signify, that in the Chalice we have not Christs Blood, as him self said, but mere Wine, as against Christ they labour to persuade.
