So we ought to receive this blessed sacrament, in the remembrance of Christ, as saint Paul sayeth,1 that is to say, we ought to preach his death, until he come again. For he will surely come again, and judge both the quick and the dead, as ye have learned in your Creed. In the mean season, we ought to remember and preach his death, that he hath redeemed ⟨p. ccxxxviii⟩us, with his death and shedding of his most precious blood, & purchased for us forgiveness of our since. And this we ought ever to have in our remembrance, that in no wise we forget this his exceeding great benefit, and that we seek not for remission of since, by any other ways or means, then by faith in Christ.
So we ought to receaue this blessed sacrament, in the remembraunce of Christ, as saint Paule saieth,1 that is to saye, we ought to preache his death, vntil he come againe. For he wil suerely come againe, and iudge bothe the quicke and ye deade, as ye haue lerned in your Crede. In the meane season, we ought to remembre and preach his death, that he hath redemed ⟨p. ccxxxviii⟩vs, with his death and sheding of his most precious bloude, & purchased for vs forgyuenes of oure synnes. And this we ought euer to haue in oure remembraunce, that in no wyse we forget this his exceding great benefyte, and that we seke not for remyssion of synnes, by any other wayes or meanes, then by fayth in Christe.
- 1i Cor. xi.i.
Now when we preach the death of the Lord, and show that he hath redeemed us thereby, we ought also to call this to our remembrance, that he dyed not for us only, but for all men that believe in him. And forasmuch as Christ loved all men so entirely, that he dyed for them, we ought for Christs sake to love our neighbours, for whom Christ hath dyed. For Christ sayeth.
