¶At last, consider unto what end all things tended in that last supper, how the figure teched the verity, the shadow the body, and how the verity abolished the figure, and the shadow gave place to the body. Look also with what congruence, proportion, and similitude both in the action and the speech, all things were consonant and finished, and all •o lead us by such sensible signs from the figure unto the verity, from the flesh unto the spirit, And take thou here this infallible and assured saying of Christ never to fall fro thy mind in this last supper.1 Do ye this into the remembrance of me. And also of Paul, saying 1. co. 11. So oft as ye shall eat this breed, lo this heretic calleth it breed even after the words of the pope's consecration, and drink of this cup, praise, declare, and give thanks for the death of the lord, until he shall come again to judgment. Remember thou also: what Christ said to the carnal Jews taking the eating of his flesh and drinking of his blood so carnally, answering them. My flesh profiteth n• meaning to eat it bodily.2 but the spirit maketh life. And to this set the prophet A•a•uke sentence. The just liveth of his faith.3
