And whereas it is further said, that the priest by receiving both parts in several, expresseth, as it were, unto the eye, how Christs Body and Blood were done asunder, the Scriptures, and ancient Fathers, have taught us otherwise, that not any gesture of the priest, but the very Ministration of the holy Communion, and the whole action of the people, expresseth unto us the manner and order of Christs death. S. Paul saith, As often as ye shall eat this Bread and drink this Cup, 1ye shall declare the Lords death until he come. And this, S. Paul writeth, not only to the priests, but also to the whole Congregation of the Corinthians. And in like sort writeth S. Augustine touching the same, Cum frangitur hostia, & Sanguis de Calice in ora fidelium funditur, quid aliud quàm dominici Corporis in Cruce immolatio, 2eiusque Sanguinis de latere effusio designatur? When the Oblation is broken, and the Blood from the cup is poured into the mouths of the faithful, what thing else is there signified, but the offering of the Lords Body upon the Cross, and the flowing of his Blood from his side? Thus it is clear, that the separation of Christs Body and Blood, is represented as well by the People, as by the Priest. Wherefore to devise a difference without cause, and of the same to conclude an error, it is double folly.
And whereas it is further saide, that the prieste by receiuinge bothe partes in seuerall, expresseth, as it were, vnto the eye, howe Christes Body and Bloude were doone asunder, the Scriptures, and auncient Fathers, haue taught vs otherwise, that not any gesture of the priest, but the very Ministration of the holy Communion, and the whole action of the people, expresseth vnto vs the manner and order of Christes deathe. S. Paule saithe, As often as ye shal eate this Bread and drinke this Cuppe, 1ye shal declare the Lordes death vntil he come. And this, S. Paule writeth, not onely to the priestes, but also to the whole Congregation of the Corinthians. And in like sorte writeth S. Augustine touchinge the same, Cum frangitur hostia, & Sanguis de Calice in ora fidelium funditur, quid aliud quàm dominici Corporis in Cruce immolatio, 2eiusque Sanguinis de latere effusio designatur? When the Oblation is broken, and the Bloud from the cuppe is powred into the mouthes of the faithful, what thinge els is there signified, but the offringe of the Lordes Bodie vpon the Crosse, and the flowinge of his Bloude from his side? Thus it is cleare, that the separation of Christes Body and Bloude, is represented as wel by the People, as by the Priest. Wherefore to diuise a difference without cause, and of the same to conclude an errour, it is double folie.
