TErtia est, ut Canonem morosius legate quà caetera: & praecipuè ab illo loco, Qui pridie, quàm pateretur, accepit, &c, ⟨p. 10⟩Tunc enim respirans, attendere debet, & see totum colligere, si prius non potuit, singulis verbis attendens. Et dum dixerit, accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes, respiret: & uno spiritu tractū dicat, Hoc est enim corpus meū. Sic non immiscet se alia cogitatio: Non enim videtur esse rationabile, discontinuare formam tam brevem, tam arduam, tam efficacem: cuius tota virtus dependet ab ultimo verbo, scilicet, Meum, quod in persona Christi dicitur. Unde, non debet cuilibet verbo punctus imponi, cum id nulla ratione valeat, ut dicatur. hoc, est, enim, corpus, meū. Sed totum simul proferat. Pari modo, hoc idem in forma consecrationis san guinis obseruetur. Item, proferendo verba consecrationis circa quamlibet materiam, Sacerdos semper intendat, conficere id, quod Christus constituit, et Ecclesia facit. ⟨p. 9⟩The third a Cautel is this, That the priest must read the Canon b more treatably and leisurely than the rest: and especially after he cometh to this place, who the same day before he suffered, took &c. ⟨p. 10⟩For then, when he taketh his breath, he must be very attentive, and c gather up him self roundly together (if he hath not done it before) giving great attention to every word he pronounceth. And after he hath said, d take ye and eat ye all of this: he must take his e breath, & then with one breath speak these words, for this is my body: without once thinking any other thing. For, there is no reason that this so short, so high, & so effectual a form of speech, should be discontinued, the whole power whereof dependeth upon the last word, to f wit, My, which word is spoken in the person of Christ. And therefore, there ought no point to be made between those words, considering that there is no reason to lead any man so to do, as to point it thus, for, this, is, my, body, but that the whole sentence be pronounced at once. This observation likewise is to be used in the manner of the consecration of the blood. h In like manner when the Priest pronounceth the words of consecration, he is always to bear in mind the intent of the institution of Jesus Christ, in every matter & what the Church also doeth.
