SO the sacrament of the body & blood of christ hath a promise annexed which the priest should declare in the english tongue This is my body that is broken for you. This is my blood that is shed for many unto the forgiveness of since. This do in remembrance ⟨image 90⟩of me saith Christ. Luke. xxij. And .j. Corinth. xj.1 If when thou seest the sacrament or eatest his body or drinkest his blood / thou have this promise fast in thine heart (that his body was slain / and his blood shed for thy since) and believest it / so art thou saved and justified thereby. If not / so helpeth it thee not / though thou hearest a thousand masses in a day or though thou doest no thing else all thy life long / then eat his body or drink his blood: no more then it should help the in a deed thirst / to behold a bush at a tavern door / if thou knewest not thereby that there were wine with in to be sold.
