I remember not that ever I read [Greek or Hebrew] translated Communion. Indeed Eph. 4.3. [Greek or Hebrew], expresseth Communion in transient acts; but bare Unity doth not: But Communion must maintain it, [Greek or Hebrew], as in the bond of peace. King James so liked Bishop Usher's Sermon on that Text, that a Knight then near him, told me▪ that when by his winking posture, the Courtiers thought he had been asleep, at the end of the Sermon he spake aloud, This is the Religion that I will live and die in (or to that sense). The regardful reading of consenting learned Commentators on Eph. 3.4, 5, 6, 7. Verses, might have quenched this firebrand.

Indeed I believe with Beza, that they who translate [Greek or Hebrew] by mere participation, say too little: For it is not all participation which is the Communion which many Texts express; but such a participation as connoteth an Union in quibusdam: For Union absolute and simple, is uncapable of Communion, except with some other thing, having no parts.
