¹AS for the Supper, it is also ordained, first to confirm us, and as it were to seal us in the same the remission of sins, the which we obtain by faith in the death and passion of Jesus Christ, and the true and spiritual communion that we have by the same, with all the gifts and graces of the same. The second is, to yield thanks unto him, and to give testimony of our faith towards him, & of our charity which we have towards our brethren, and of the union with his Church. The third, to represent to us by the bread and wine, which are there distributed, the whole and perfect spiritual nurture, which ⟨p. 39⟩we have by the mean of the body, flesh, and blood of Jesus Christ, to the end that we may be spiritually nourished into eternal life, according to the benefit which we have already received by our regeneration, whereof the Baptism is to us as a Sacrament: in the which we have in the Supper as it were a gage of our resurrection, the which we do believe and wait for. Wherefore even as the bread and wine be there given to us visibly and bodily, even so are the body and blood of Jesus given to us in deed but invisibly and spiritually, by the mean of faith, & by the virtue of the holy Ghost, for he is the mean by which we have true Communion, and true union with Jesus Christ, and all his Church, the which is his body, whereof all true Christians are members.
