The Circumstances of the Scripture, Do this in remembrance of me. As oft as ye shall eat of this Bread, and drink of this Cup, ye shall show forth the Lord's death. Let a man prove himself, and so eat of this bread, and drink of this cup. They came together to break Bread: and they continued in breaking of Bread. The Bread which we break, &c. For we being many, are all one Bread and one Body, &c.

The Analogy of the Sacraments is necessary; for if the Sacraments had not some similitude, or likeness of the things whereof they be Sacraments, they could in no wise be Sacraments. And this similitude in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is taken three manner of ways.
1. The first consisteth in nourishing, as you shall read in Rabanus, Cyprian, Austin, Irenaeus, and most plainly in Isidore out of Bertram. 2. The second in the uniting and joining of many into one, as Cyprian teacheth. 3. The third is a similitude of unlike things: Where, like as the Bread is turned into one Body; so we by the right use of this Sacrament, are turned through Faith into the Body of Christ.
