Therefore Christ when he Instituted this Sacrament, commanded, Do this; that is, do as I do: least they should swerve one whit from his own manner: yet how many gauds have the Papists added to it, that he which had heard Christ say, Do this in remembrance of me, and should see how they handle the matter in their Mass, could see nothing to remember Christ by but a veil to hide Christ from him. Therefore this Commandment was repeated again, when he gave the Wine, Do this, &c.

As he commanded them to eat the bread in remembrance of him, 1so he commanded them to drink the wine in remembrance of him: nay, he speaks more precisely of the wine than of the bread: for he saith of the wine, Drink ye all of this, which he saith not of the bread. Surely, Christ did foresee that some proud Heretics would do otherwise after him, even as it is come to pass: for the Papists do break this commandment of Christ, as flatly as Saul break the commandment of Samuel. Samuel commanded him to kill the sat and the lean, Saul killed the lean, but not the fat; so Christ commandeth to receive bread and wine: they teach to receive bread, but not wine. Christ saith, Drink you all of this: They say, drink not all of this: Christ gave the bread and wine to all; they give the bread to all, and the wine to some: their Priests receive all, but the people must content themselves with half; the Priest eats and drinks, but the People must not drink ⟨p. 26⟩for spilling on their clothes. Is this the Church which cannot err? Do they think to hem Christ in their Mass, and shut his ordinance out of their Mass? The Soldiers divided Christs coat, but these divide his body, and separate the Bread and Wine
