And least we should forget the same, he ordained not a yearly memory (as the Paschal lamb was eaten but once every year) but a daily remembrance he ordained thereof in bread and wine, sanctified and dedicated to that purpose saying: This is my body, This cup is my blood, which is shed for the remission of sins: Do this in remembrance of me.1 Admonishing us by these words, spoken at the making of his last will and testament, and at his departing out of the world (because they should be the better remembered) that whensoever we do eat the bread in his holy supper; and drink of that cup, we should remember how much Christ hath done for us, and how he dyed for our sakes. Therefore saith S. Paul: As often as ye shall eat this bread,2 and drink the cup, you shall show forth the Lords death until he come.
