A The matter of the Sacrament, that is to say, Christ himself, is received of us, by a spiritual manner, through faith. ⟨p. 143⟩And we call that a Spiritual manner of receiving or communicating,1 not only in which Christ his spirit is communicated with us, but also, that which is not earthly or natural, but dependeth of the incomprehensible power of the Holy-ghost, by which most straight bond indeed the members are more and more joined with their head. For we exclude and shut out, all pouring abroad and mingling of substances, and also all fitness of joining together of natural parts, and yet can hold and main••ine a true growing up of the faithful with Christ, which can not be hindered by any distance of places: for our faith cleaveth unto the word of God, who indeed performeth that which he promiseth.
