Here where S. 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 thereof, this do, as often as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me. The rest that followeth in S. Paul, both there and in the tenth Chapter, pertaineth unto the right use of the Lords Supper.

And as Luke addeth to the woordes of Paule spoken of the Cup which is shed for you, so likewise Paule addeth to the woords thereof, this doo, as often as yee shall drinke it, in remembrance of me. The rest that followeth in S. Paule, both there and in the tenth Chapter, perteineth unto the right vse of the Lords Supper.
Thus the Evangelists and S. Paul have rehearsed the words and work of Christ, whereby he did institute and ordain this ⟨p. 4⟩holy Sacrament of his body and blood to be a perpetual remembrance unto his coming again of him self, I say that is of his body given for us, and of his blood shed for the remission of sins. But this remembrance which to thus ordained, as the author thereof is Christ, both God and Man, so by the almighty power of God, if far passeth all kinds of remembrances, that any other man is able to make either of him self, or of any other thing. For whosoever receiveth this holy Sacrament thus ordained in remembrance of Christ, he receiveth therewith either death or life. In this (I trust) we do all agree, For S. Paul saith of the godly receivers in the tenth Chapter of his first Epistle unto the Cerinthians, The Cup of blessing, which we bless, is it not the partaking or fellowship of Christs blood? And also saith, the Bread which we break (and meaneth at the Lords Lable) Is it not the partaking or fellowship of Christs body? Now the partaking of Christs body and of his blood unto the faithful and godly, is the partaking or fellowship of life and immortality. And again of the bad and ungodly receivers, S. Paul as plainly saith thus. He that eateth of this bread, and drinketh of this cup unworthily, is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
