Now this is settled in us, without all controversy: that although the body and blood of the Lord, are not, that is, do not exist in their own substance and in very deed and properly, in the bread and wine, but are in heaven: yet notwithstanding with the very distribution or giving of the bread and wine, there is truly offered unto all men the true flesh of Christ to be eaten, and his blood to be drunk: not simply, but in as much, as his flesh was betrayed unto death for us, & his blood shed for the remission of our sins. For the words are manifest which Christ speaketh, in John, of the eating his flesh, ¹and drinking his blood, if any man will have life in him: and that which the Apostle sayeth even jumping with the words of Christ, He which eateth the bread and drinketh the Lords cup unworthily, he is made guilty of the (true) body and blood of the Lord.

For the words are manifest which Christ speaketh, in Iohn, of the eating his flesh,
