VIII. To the worthy receiving of the sacraments, there is need of understanding and faith.
VIII. To the worthy receiuing of the sacraments, there is need of vnderstanding and faith.
And thereby also we know, that the sacraments to the worthy receiving of them, do require an action and attention of the mind & a faith in us: whereby we understand what is signified and offered to us by them, and apprehend it with a mind settled in faith: even as Christ teacheth, 1where he sayeth of his supper: do this in remembrance of me, And the Apostles weighing and considering these words of Christ doth largely expound them. To which purpose is also that, Lift up your hearts. For there be set before us matters most reverend, heavenly, and divine, to be understood in the mind, and received by faith.
