As often as ye shall eat this bread / and drink of this cup / 1ye shall show the lords death &c. so that not the partaking of the one only / but of both is a showing of the lords death because in his death the blood was divided from the body / it is necessary that the same division be represented in the supper / 2otherwise the supper is not a showing of the lords death / &c. Let a man examine him self / &c. But this word (Homo) is of both genders / therefore it is as well commanded to the woman to drink of the cup / as the man / &c. But the Kings argument once against me was this. When ye come together to eat. He sayeth not / (sayeth he) to drink / I answered it was not needful seeing that a little before he had made mention of both / in these words. And so let him eat of that bread / and drink of that cup. Homo / that is to say aswell the woman as the man. Under the name of bread which betokeneth all sustenance of the body / drink is also understanded in the scriptures. Otherwise they would say that Christ did not drink after his resurrection with his disciples except Peter had said:3 We ⟨p. 7⟩did eat and drink with him after he arose from death.

Let a man examine hym selfe / &c. But this worde (Homo) is of bothe gendres / therfore it is as wel commaunded to the woman to drincke of the cuppe / as the man / &c. But the Kings argumente once againste me was this. Whē ye come to gither to eate. He saieth not / (saiethe he) to drincke / I aunswerid it was not neadfulle seing that a litle before he had made mention of bothe / in theise wordes. And so let hym eat of that breade / and drincke of that cuppe. Homo / that is to saye aswel the woman as the manne. Vnder the name of bread which betokenethe all sustinaunce of the bodie / drincke is also vnderstanded in the scriptures. Otherwise they woulde saye that Christe did not drincke after hys resurrection withe his disciples excepte Peter had saide:
