S. Paul likewise, when he saw▪ that the use of the sacrament was grown to disorder, that every man toke his own supper privately to himself, & that thereby, both the holy communion, and also brotherly love, and unity was despised, as it hath ben, in the west part of the church, now a great many of years, in this latter time: he called them back again, to the beginning thereof, & to the institution of Christ: as giving them thereby to understand, that the sacrament cannot be better used, then Christ himself used it. This he saith. Cum conueneritis in unum locum, non potestis dominicam caenam manducare: unusquisque enim praesumit caenam suam: when ye resort ⟨p. 152⟩together into one place, ye can not eat the Lords supper: For every one of you eateth his own supper afore hand. Therefore he saith unto them, Alter alterum expectate: Tarry ye & wait, one for an other: & so receive the holy communion altogether. For this is it▪ that I delivered unto you, and the same self thing, I received of the Lord.
