Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity.

9 The things sealed, are the body and the blood of Christ, the offering and receiving of both, and the spiritual nourishment arising therefrom: or rather whole Christ God and man, with all his benefits, and the new covenant confirmed by the death of the testator.
9 The thinges sealed, are the bodie and the bloode of Christ, the offering and receauing of both, and the spirituall nourishment arising therefrom: or rather whole Christ God and man, with all his benefites, and the newe couenant confirmed by the death of the testator.
10 For although the receiving of the bread and the wine, doth only signify the communion of the body and the blood: yet because we are made one with Christ, by means of his human nature, it doth seal unto us the whole benefit of salvation: because neither the manhood can be separated from the word, nor the humanity subsist without the Deity, or his benefits without the whole person; and therefore, the one are neither received nor delivered without the other.
10 For although the receauing of the bread and the wine, doth onelie signifie the communion of the body and the blood: yet because wee are made one with Christ, by meanes of his humaine nature, it doth seale vnto vs the whole benefite of saluation: because neither the manhood can be seperated from the word, nor the humanitie subsist without the Deitie, or his benefits without the whole person; and therefore, the one are neither receaued nor deliuered without the other.
11 It is not without cause, that Christ hath severally ordained the bread to be the Sacrament of his body, and the wine of his blood: and commanded them to be severally delivered in the Church. For the body and blood are not sacramentally represented unto us in this action, as the whole humanity of Christ, being glorified doth now live: but in regard that they were offered upon the cross for us, the blood being poured out of the body.
