Now where Paul said that they were guilty of the body & blood of the lord, which eat it unworthily, & also that such persons do eat judgement unto them selves, because they make no difference of the Lords body, all this is no matter at all.

And such as take it unworthily, are justly affirmed not to put such difference as they ought, that is they are judged not to have the lords body in due price and estimation. For so great a conjunction there is between the signs, and the things that are signified, that the despising or unreverent using of the one, redoundeth to the other.1 After the same manner spake Paul, when he said. A man praying or preaching with his head covered, doth open villainy unto Christ.
