And to the same purpose, in the twelfth Chapter following, he propoundeth both our Baptism and our drinking of the Lords Cup, as seals of the spiritual conjunction of us all into one mystical body.

Afterwards he addeth, that we are the body of Christ, and members in particular: and in another place also,3 that We being many, are one body in Christ, 4and every one members one of another.
