1 The first act of Faith, is to look out for Christ; and therefore when thou art present at the Lords Supper, rest not in the outward elements, in the beholding and taking of them; but with the eye of Faith discern the body and blood of Christ under the elements of bread and wine, which indeed do spiritually, sacramentally set forth the body and blood of Christ, as is clear from Christs own expression, for holding the bread in his hand, he said of it,1 This is my body, i. e. Mystically, and Sacramentally, by way of representation; as if he had said, This bread representeth my body. And holding the cup that had wine in it, and speaking of the wine therein,2 he saith, This is my blood, i. e. Mystically and ⟨p. 127⟩Sacramentally, by way of representation, q. d. This wine representeth my blood.
