P. The same signifieth unto us, how that of the death of the old man the new riseth: as if our old Adam after that he were drowned were risen again a new man, and that all his old filthiness were drowned by the water of grace in the which he was plunged: which is the blood of Jesus Christ, the true washer of regeneration.

P. The Supper is a Sacrament in the which Jesus Christ representeth to us by the sign of bread and wine, how he hath given his body and his blood to the death, that having reconciled us unto God, he mought be our spiritual nurture, and mought con firm us in the faith of the promise which he had made unto us.
