6 For the receiving of the mouth, and also the help of the other senses, are here required by the institution of Christ, to the end, that that which is natural and corporal, may perform his own office: the operation also of the mind and faith is especially to be present; that what is spiritual, may be received by spiritual instruments.

7 Yet we confess, that the body and blood of Christ is offered bodily, that is, corporally in the holy Supper: But after the same manner, that PAUL saith, that all the God-head doth dwell in him corporally; that is truly and fully: the Lord performing without all doubt, that which he promised.
7 Yet wee confesse, that the bodie and blood of Christ is offered bodilie, that is, corporallie in the holie Supper: But after the same manner, that PAVLE saith, that all the God-head doth dwell in him corporally; that is trulie and fullie: the Lord performing without all doubt, that which hee promised.
8 And although the body of Christ, be of it self a natural substance, and contained within the dimensions or limits thereof; yet is it not materially, but spiritually eaten of us. For the flesh would have profited us nothing, but the Spirit and life: yet we may say in some sense, that the bread and the wine, are the body and the blood: and that the body and the blood are fed-upon, namely, in a Sacramental manner.
