It is his will ye should so do, he would be had in remembrance. Mixed your pleasures with the remembrance of his bitter passion. The whole passion is satisfaction for our since, and not the bare death, considering it so nakedly by it self. The manner of speaking of scripture is to be considered. It attributeth our salvation, now to one thing, now to a nother that Christ did, where in deed it pertained to all.¹ Our Saviour Christ hath left behind him, a remembrance of his passion, the blessed communion, the celebration of the Lords supper, a lack it hath been long abused, as the sacrifices were before, in the old law. The Patriarchs used sacrifice, ⟨image 218⟩in the faith of the seed of the woman, which should break the serpents head. The Patriarchs sacrificed on hope, and afterward the work was esteemed.

It is hys wyl ye shoulde so do, he woulde be hadde in remembraunce. Myxt youre pleasures with the remembraunce of hys bitter passion. The whole passion is satisfaction for our synnes, and not the bare death, consideryng it so nakedly by it self. The maner of spekyng of scripture is to be considered. It attributeth oure saluation, nowe to one thynge, nowe to a nothere that Christe dyd, where in dede it partayned to all.¹ Oure Sauioure Chryste hath lefte behynd hym, a remembraunce of hys passyon, the blessed communion, the celebration of the Lordes supper, a lacke it hath bene long abused, as the sacryfices were before, in the olde law. The Patriarkes vsed sacrifice, ⟨image 218⟩in the fayeth of the seade of the woman, whyche shoulde breake the serpentes head. The Patriarkes sacrificed on hope, and afterwarde the worcke was estemed.
