2 The bread which we break (saith the Apostle) is the communion of the body of christ. But this communion is spiritual: because when the same Apostle opposeth it to the communion of devils (ye cannot, saith he, drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the lords table, and of the table of Devils) by these words the Apostle denieth that the wicked can be partakers of the body and blood of christ in the supper. And therefore there is no corporal eating of the body and blood of christ in his supper.
