Q. 170. How do they that worthily communicate in the Lords Supper, feed upon the body and blood of Christ therein?
A. As the body and blood of Christ are not corporally or carnally present in, with, or under the bread and wine in the Lords Supperg, and yet are spiritually present to the faith of the receiver, no less truly and really than the elements themselves are to their outward senseh, so they that worthily communicate in the Sacrament of the Lords Supper, do therein feed upon the body and blood of Christ, not after a corporal, or carnal but in a spiritual manner, yet truly & reallyi, while by faith they receive and apply unto themselves Christ crucified, and all the benefits of his deathk.
