But why are there two Elementes giuen in the Supper, and but one in Baptisme?
Answer. Because Christ in Baptism is set forth unto us as a Laver, & water also only sufficeth to wash away filthiness. But in the Lords supper, forasmuch as Christ is set forth unto us as that heavenly nourishment, and this life needeth not only eating, but also drinking, not without cause not only bread but also wine is given in the supper of the Lord, that we might know that we ought to seek our whole life in Christ alone.
