Nor can I see why the soul of Christ should be said to be given in the Wine only, and not in the Bread; Nor why by this kind of Communication he may not as truly be said to be given us in other Ordinances as in the Eucharist: Nor know I what they mean by the Forms of bread and wine, under which they say that Christs Body and blood is given: But I am past doubt that Bread and Wine are still really in substance there.

And whereas the same men say that It is Christs humbled flesh and blood as sacrificed on the Cross that is Commemorated, but his Glorified Body and soul only which are Communicated and Received, I must say, 1. That Christ plainly tells us of his Giving us his Sacrificed Body or flesh it self to eat, as he is the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the World: And he saith, Take, Eat, this is my Body which is broken for you, &c. so that the same body is Commemorated and Communicated: But how Communicated? In the effects of his sacrifice: His Body was given a sacrifice to God for us, and the fruits of that sacrifice given to us. And thus he was given a sacrifice for the life of the world; And thus we do receive him: By our bodily taking and eating the Bread, we profess that our souls take him to be our Saviour and Cause of our Life, both as Purchasing and Meriting it on Earth, and Interceding and Communicating it in and from Heaven.

2. And this Doctrine will not serve the Papists turn, who tell us that Bread and Wine are ceased, and that Christs very flesh and blood is there, into which all the ⟨p. 150⟩substance of the bread and wine are turned; and that his natural Body before his death, was in the same sort given under the forms of Bread and Wine as now; and will not be beholden to this subterfuge.
