Admonition to make use of the ministry of the word, not Use 1 sparing this holy meat, before the table be taken up, for howsoever for corporal food, though we loose the opportunity at one time, we may find it at another, though at one place we eat nothing, yet at another we may have plenty: though no man would feast us abroad, we may provide for our selves at home, yet the case standeth not so concerning this spiritual meat, neither our selves, nor any other beside Christ, can any where, at any time sustain our souls, and being not fed by him we perish for ever.
