6 Not the body and blood of Christ, but the bread and wine are the signs which serve for confirmation of our faith: for the body and blood of Christ are received, that we may live for ever. But the bread and wine are received, that we may be confirmed and assured of that heavenly food, and daily more and more enjoy it.
6 Not the body and bloud of Christ, but the bread and wine are the signes which serue for confirmation of our faith: for the bodie and bloud of Christ are receiued, that we may liue for euer. But the bread and wine are receiued, that wee maie bee confirmed and assured of that heauenlie foode, and dailie more and more enioie it.
7 Neither is the bread changed into the body of Christ, nor the wine into the blood of Christ: neither doth the body and blood of Christ succeed in their place, they being abolished: neither is Christs body substantially present in the bread, or under the bread, or where the bread is: but in the right use of the Lords supper, the holy Ghost useth this Symbol, as an instrument, to stir up faith in us, by which he more and more dwelleth in us, engrafteth us into Christ, and maketh us thorough him to be just and righteous, and to draw eternal life from him.
