1The Sacrament of Baptism doth also teach us, that as the substance of the water remaineth there: so in the Lords Supper, remaineth the substance of bread after consecration. For as by Baptism we are engrafted into CHRIST; so by the Supper we are fed with Christ. These two Sacraments, the Apostle gladly coupleth together, 1. Cor. 10. and 1. Cor 12. We are baptized into one body (saith he) and have drunk all of one spirit, meaning it by the Cup: as Chrysostom and other great learned men do well interpret it. As therefore in Baptism, is given unto us the holy Ghost, and pardon of our sins, which yet lie not lurking in the water: so in the Lords Supper, is given unto us the Communion of Christs body and blood, that is, grace, forgiveness of sins, innocency, life, immortality, without any Transubstantiation, or including of the same in the bread. By Baptism,2 the old man is put off, and the new man put on, yea, Christ is put on, but without Transubstantiating ⟨p. 98⟩[…] ⟨p. 99⟩[…] ⟨p. 100⟩the water. And even so it is in the Lords Supper. We by faith spiritually in our souls do feed on Christs body broken, do eat his flesh and drink his blood: do dwell in him, and he in us but without Transubstantiation.
