8. To celebrate the memory of his death and passion with all reverence, honour, and hearty affection: this is that we should do in the receiving of the sacrament, which doth crucify Christ before our eyes, and show us how he was ⟨p. 267⟩taken, broken, given, & slain for our sakes, shall we not do this in remembrance of him? shall we not eat the sweet flesh of this immaculate lamb, with the sower herbs of contrition, and grief for our sins and unworthiness? shall we not at this feast put away all leaven out of our dwellings? God forbid, we should dare to eat of this bread, or drink of this cup unworthily, and so make our selves guilty of the body and blood of Christ: rather let us all examine our selves, and so let us eat in remembrance of him, judging our selves, that we be not condemned of the Lord. Thus of the first sort of duties.
