We believe, as is said, that as well in the Supper, as in Baptism, god giveth us in deed and in effect that which is figured thereby. And therefore we join with the signs, the true possession and enjoying of that which is there presented unto us. So that all they which bring to the holy table of Christ a pure faith, (as a vessel) receive truly that which the signs testify: That is, athat the body and blood of Jesus Christ serve no ⟨p. 112⟩less for meat and drink to the soul, than the bread & wine do to the body.
