Ans. But this Communion is an union with Christ, and an enjoying of all his benefits by faith. To this belongeth the similitude of the Body and the Members; of the Vine, & the Branches; which hath no reference to any corporal eating. This communion both was & is common to all the godly from the beginning of the world, to the end thereof. But they could not eat it bodily: That we may grow in him, of whom the whole body is coupled. He that cleaveth to the Lord, is one spirit with him. And we are all baptised by one Spirit into one body. But this we know that we dwell in him and he in us, in that he hath given us of his Spirit. This union then is that communion which is by the holy Ghost, and therefore spiritual. For bread cannot be this communion but only by a figurative speech called Metonymy.

2 GUILTY OF THE BODY.
2 GVILTY OF THE BODY.
He that is guilty of the body of Christ eateth it. They that receive veworthily are guilty of the body of Christ. Therefore they eat it corporally. For spiritually they can not: for if they should so care, they were not guilty.
