An account of a disputation at Oxford, anno dom. 1554 with A treatise of…

Here where Luke saith [which is given] Paul saith [which is broken] and as Luke addeth to the words of Paul spoken of the Cup [which is-shed for you] so likewise Paul addeth to the words of Luke this do as often as you shall drink it in the remembrance of me; the rest that followeth in St. Paul, both there, and in the 10th Chap. pertaineth to the right use and doctrine of the Lord's Supper.

Thus the Evangelists & St. Paul have rehearsed the words and Works of Christ, whereby he did institute and ordain this holy Sacrament of his blessed Body and Blood to be a perpetual remembrance of himself until his coming again. Of himself, I say, that is of his Body given for us, and of his Blood shed for the remission of sins.

But in this remembrance thus ordained, as the Author thereof is Christ both God and Man, so by the almighty power of God it far passeth all kinds of Remembrance that any other man is able to make, either of himself, or of any other thing. For whosoever receiveth this holy Sacrament thus ordained in remembrance of Christ, he receiveth therewith either Death or Life.

And again of the bad and ungodly receivers St. Paul as plainly saith thus, He that eateth of this Bread, and drinketh of this Cup unworthily, he is guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. O how necessary then is it if we love Life and would eschew Death, to try and examine our selves before we eat of this Bread, and drink of this Cup, for else assuredly he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he esteemed not the Lords Body; that is, he reverenceth not the Lords body with the honour which is due unto him. And yet by that which was said, that with the receipt of the Holy Sacrament of the blessed Body and Blood of Christ
