What need we to strive / and contend / what thing we break / for Paul saith speaking undoubtedly of the Lords table / the bread (sayeth he) which we break / is it not the partaking or fellowship of the Lords body? Whereupon it followeth that after the thanks giving / it is bread which we break. And how often in the Acts of the Apostles is the Lords supper signified by breaking of bread. They did persevere (sayeth S Luke) in the Apostles doctrine / communion / and breaking of bread.1 And again they brake bread in every house.
What nede we to striue / and contēd / what thing we breake / for Paule saith speking vndoubtedlie of the Lordes table / the breade (saieth he) whiche wee breake / is it not the partakinge or felowshyp of the Lordes bodie? Wherupō it foloweth that after the thankes geuing / it is bread whiche we breake. And how often in the Acts of the Apostles is the Lords supper signified by breakinge of breade. They did perseuer (saieth S Luke) in the Apostles doctrine / communion / and breakyng of breade.1 And againe they brake breade in euerie house.
