M. Seeing it is so, it followeth then that the supper is unto us a Sacrament ⟨p. 362⟩of the union & charity, that all the faithful ought to have the one with the other?
M. SEing it is so, it followeth then that the supper is vnto vs a Sacrament ⟨p. 362⟩of the vnion & charitie, yt all the faithfull ought to haue the one with the other?
P. That is not to be doubted, & therefore thou must note, that even as baptism doth admonish us of the perpetual repentance & mortification which ought to be among us all the time of our life: even so hath the supper this proper unto it, that it putteth us in mind of the union & charity whereby we ought to be joined the one with the other, without the which we can not be christians, forsomuch as Jesus Christ setteth it forth unto us for a mark whereby his disciples should be known.
P. That is not to be douted, & therfore thou must note, yt euē as baptisme doth admonish vs of ye perpetual repentāce & mortification which ought to be among vs al ye time of our life: euē so hath ye supper this propre vnto it, yt it putteth vs in mynd of the vnion & charitie wherby we ought to be ioyned the one with ye other, wtout the which we can not be christiās, forsomuch as Iesus Chryst setteth it foorth vnto vs for a marke wherby his disciples shuld be knowne.
M. Seeing it is so, I think assuredly also that we cannot communicate at this holy sacrament of the supper, but to our condemnation, if we have not this charity & union amongst us.
