And albeit we deny the body of Christ to be included in the Sacramental bread: yet we say not that Christ is altogether & in every respect absent from his holy Sacrament: or that the bread & wine be but bare and empty signs. For Christ is truly present by the grace of his holy spirit, where two or three aare gathered togeth in his name: and lifteth up also even to heaven unto himself the hearts of the faithful by the promise of the Gospel: that they may contemplate there (namely in the heavenly bsanctuary) that his sacrifice, which he offered for them upon his Cross, and by faith feed thereupon unto life everlasting.
