Further seeing that the holy supper is ordained to such an end, as hath been ⟨p. 45⟩already declared, none may communicate in the same, but to his condemnation,¹ which cometh not with these three things following. The first is, a true acknowledging and sorrowfulness for his sins towards God, which can not be without true confession of the same towards god. The second is a steadfast belief of the forgiveness of his sins by Jesus Christ, and a true assurance of salvation through him. The third is a true and perfect charity towards our neighbour.² For this holy Sacrament requireth all these things for so much as it is the sacrament of the agreement and union that we have with God by Jesus Christ, and with all his Church and all the true members of the same. Wherefore it must be of necessity, that every man examine him self in these points, that he may go to it worthily, and not to his condemnation, according to the doctrine of Saint Paul to that purpose.
