1 To keep Christians in a continual ^aremembrance ⟨p. 685⟩of that propitiatory sacrifice, ²which Christ once for all offered by his death upon the cross to reconcile us unto GOD. Do this (saith Christ) in remembrance of me. And (saith the Apostle) As oft as ye shall eat this bread, ³and drink this cup, ye do show the Lords death, till he come. And he saith, that (by this Sacrament, and the preaching of the word) Jesus Christ was so evidently set forth before the eyes of the Galatians as if he had been crucified among them. For the whole action representeth Christs death: the breaking of the bread blessed, the crucifying of his blessed body, and the pouring forth of the sanctified wine, the shedding of his holy ⟨p. 686⟩blood. Christ was once in himself really offered:⁴ but as oft as this Sacrament is celebrated: so oft is he spiritually offered by the faithful.
