Again, there must be a proportion between the Passover and the Lord's Supper, because this was figured by the other. Now the 1Jews had in their Passover, Bread and Wine, and a Lamb: So our Saviour Christ instituting his last Supper, left Bread and Wine, and a Lamb: the which name is given to himself, because he 2came like a Lamb, and dyed like a Lamb.
Again, if Christ's very Body were offered in the Sacrament, then it were not a Sacrament, but a Sacrifice, which two differ as much as giving, and taking: for in a Sacrifice we give, and in a Sacrament we receive, and therefore we say our Sacrifice, and Christ's Sacrament.
Again, every Sacrifice was offered upon the Altar. Now mark the wisdom of the holy Ghost, least we should take this for a 1Sacrifice, he never names Altar when he speaks of it, but, The Table of the Lord. Therefore it is no doubt but the devil hath kept the name of Altar, that we might think it a Sacrifice.
