226. Question.
Declare the fifth.
Declare the fift.
Answer. So I gather it from the Circumstance of the time. At what time the Lord said of that wine, This is my blood which is shed for many, for the remission of sins, as yet it was not shed forth out of the vessel of the body of Christ, neither ever after is it read to be gathered in any vessel. Therefore in that cup then there was not properly that blood of Christ shed for us between the hands of the tormentors, neither now also is it. Much less therefore was that wine then or now is that same blood properly shed for us. But that same proposition is figurative which testifieth unto us, that we truly and spiritually through faith are partakers of Christ himself and of his passion and of all other his gifts.
Answeare. So I gather it from the Circumstaunce of the time. At what time the Lorde sayde of that wine, This is my blood which is shed for many, for the remission of sinnes, as yet it was not shedde foorth out of the vessell of the bodie of Christ, neyther euer after is it read to be gathered in any vessel. Therfore in that cuppe then there was not properly that blood of Christ shedde for vs betweene the handes of the tormentours, neither nowe also is it. Muche lesse therfore was that wine thē or now is that same blood properly shed for vs. But that same proposition is figuratiue which testifieth vnto vs, that wee truely and spiritually through faith are partakers of Christ himselfe and of his passion and of all other his giftes.
