16. As the cup is the new Testament, so the bread is the body of Christ: The cup is the new Testament sacramentally (as before hath been showed, and now may be farther proved by this reason; The new Testament properly is not drunk with the mouth, but believed with the heart: but the cup is drunk with the mouth: therefore the cup cannot properly be the new Testament.) Therefore the bread is Christs body in the same sense, to wit, sacramentally.
16. As the cup is the new Testament, so the bread is the body of Christ: The cup is the new Testament sacramentally (as before hath been shewed, and now may be farther proved by this reason; The new Testament properly is not drunk with the mouth, but beleeved with the heart: but the cup is drunk with the mouth: therefore the cup cannot properly be the new Testament.) Therefore the bread is Christs body in the same sense, to wit, sacramentally.
- 1This cup is the new Testament.
7. If the bread be properly Christs body, and the cup his blood, it must needs be, that in the first Supper the blood was separated from Christs body, and that now both of them be given us apart, as they are signs apart: But neither in the first Supper was the blood then without the body, neither is the body now given without blood (for then Christ was not yet dead, and now he dieth no more:) Therefore the bread is the body, and the cup the blood of Christ, not properly, but sacramentally.
7. If the bread be properly Christs body, and the cup his bloud, it must needs be, that in the first Supper the bloud was separated from Christs body, and that now both of them be given us apart, as they are signes apart: But neither in the first Supper was the bloud then without the body, neither is the body now given without bloud (for then Christ was not yet dead, and now he dieth no more:) Therefore the bread is the body, and the cup the bloud of Christ, not properly, but sacramentally.
