Here where Luke saith (which is given) Paul saith (which is broken). And as Luke addeth to the words of Paul spoken of the cup (which is shed for you) so likewise Paul addeth to the words of Luke (this do as often as ye shall drink it in the remembrance of me). The rest that followeth in S. Paul both there and in the x. chapter / pertaineth to the right use and doctrine of the Lords supper.
Here wher Luke sayth (which is geuen) Paule saythe (which is broken). And as Luke addeth to the wordes of Paule spoken of the cuppe (which is shedd for yow) so likewise Paule addeth to the wordes of Luke (this doo as often as ye shall drinke it in the remēbraunce of me). The rest that followeth in S. Paule both ther and in the x. chapter / perteineth to the right vse and doctrine of the Lordes supper.
Thus the Evangelists and S. Paul have rehearsed the words and work of Christ / whereby he did institute and ordain this holy Sacrament of his blessed body and blood to be a perpetual remembrance of him self until his coming again: of him self (I say) that is of his body given for us / and of his blood shed for the remission of sins.
Thus the Euangelistes and S. Paule haue rehersed the wordes and worke of Christ / wherby he dyd institute and ordeine this holye Sacrament of his blessed bodye and bloud to be a perpetuall remembraunce of hym selfe vntill his comminge agayne: of hym self (I saye) that is of his bodye geuen for vs / and of his bloud shedde for the remission of sinnes.
But this remembrance thus ordained as the author thereof is Christ both god and man: so by the almighty power of god / far passeth all kind of remembrances that any other man is able to make / either of him self / or of any other thing / for who so ever receiveth this holy sacrament thus ordained in remembrance of Christ he receiveth therewith either death or life / In this I do trust we all agree. For saint Paul saith of the godly receivers in the x. chapter of his first epistle to the Corinthians.
