Now these two Sacraments are fulfilled, he hath appointed two other Sacraments for them; in stead of the paschal Lamb, which the Jews did eat, he hath given us another Lamb to eat,1 which John calleth the Lamb of God, that is himself, upon whom all do feed, whosoever do receive this Sacrament with an assured faith that Christ died to possess them of life. The breaking of the bread doth signify the wounding of the body: the pouring out of the wine doth signify the shedding of his blood. The eating of the bread and drinking of the wine doth signify that his flesh and blood do nourish in us life eternal, as the bread and wine do nourish ⟨p. 77⟩the life present.
