Look therefore, my dearly beloved, on Christs own words, and you shall see, that CHRIST calleth it his body broken, and his blood shed. Mark, I say, that ⟨p. 124⟩Christ calleth it his body which is broken, his blood which is shed presently, and not which was broken, or shall be broken, which was shed, or shall be shed, as the Greek Texts do plainly show: thereby teaching us, that as God would have the Passover called, not which was the Passover, or shall be the Passover, but plainly the Passover; to the end that in the use of it, the passing over of the striking Angel, should be set before their eyes as present: so in the celebration of the Lords Supper, the very Passion of Christ should be as present, beholden with the eyes of Faith.
