That which I delivered unto you I received of the Lord. For the Lord Jesus the same night,1 in the which he was betrayed, toke bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said: Take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me. Likewise also he took the cup. when Supper was done, saying: This cup is the new testament, in my blood. Do this as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me, for as oft as you shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, you show forth the Lords death till he come. Wherefore who soever shall eat of this bread, or drink of this cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the body & blood of the Lord. But let a man examine him self and so eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he maketh no difference of the Lords body. For this cause many are weak and sick among you, & many do sleep.

Likewise also he tooke the cuppe. when Supper was done, saying: This cup is the new testament, in my bloud. Doe this as often as ye drinke it, in remembrance of me, for as oft as you shal eate this bread, and drinke this cup, you shew forth the Lords death til he come. Wherfore who soeuer shall eat of this bread, or drinke of this cuppe vnworthely, shalbe gilty of the body & bloud of the Lord. But let a man examine him selfe and so eat of the bread, and drinke of the cuppe. For he that eateth and drinketh vnworthely, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he maketh no difference of the Lordes body. For this cause many are weake and sicke among you, & many doe sleepe.
