There shall no Gods service be ordained or done in the Church, that is not ordained and commanded in the word of God. And the use of the Sacrament is so ordained and not otherwise, that the dealing out and the use be kept and done, as the Son of God sayeth. Take it and eat it. &c. And drink all thereof. &c. And, do this in my remembrance. And it was also thus holden many hundred years in the first church.
There shall no Gods seruyce be ordened or done in the Churche, that is not ordeyned and commaunded in the worde of God. And the vse of the Sacramente is so ordeyned and not otherwyse, that the dealyng oute and the vse be kepte and done, as the sonne of God sayeth. Take it and eate it. &c. And drynke all thereof. &c. And, doe this in my remembraunce. And it was also thus holden many hundreth yeares in the fyrste churche.
Therefore is this first use agreeing with the words of Christ, surely the right and true use, and shall be maintained upholden and kept, and there shall no other works be set up therein, which are not commanded.
