174. Question.
And what is signified aswell by these elements, as by those ceremonies sacramentally?
And what is signified aswel by these elementes, as by those ceremonies sacramētally?
Answer. Surely that bread is the sacramental sign of that body given for us, and that wine of that blood shed for us: finally, both two of whole Christ, as of our ever ⟨image 120⟩lasting meat. The blessing was appointed not so much to signify some mystery, as partly to confirm those which came to the Lords Table, partly to perfect that same Sacrament, and partly to celebrate some solemn action of thanks giving. Of which matter it shall be meet to entreat apart. Now the breaking of the bread is a sign of the passion of Christ.
