The institution of the Lords Supper doth confirm unto us by evident reasons, what is the true and saving communion of Christs body and blood: and therefore the true sense and meaning of the words of the institution is diligently to be considered. The holy Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, do most especially of all others describe the institution of the Lords Supper: and besides them, the Apostle so declareth it no less plainly in his Epistle to the Corinthians. The words of them all are these:

Matthew, Chap. 26.26. &c. As they did eat, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to the disciples▪ and said, Take, eat, this is my body. Also he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying; Drink ye all of it: For this is my blood of the new Testament, that is shed for many for the remission of sins.
