8. That which Christ himself did eat and drink, was not properly his body and blood; else should he have eaten and drunken himself: But he did eat of that bread, and drink of that cup; for he saith, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine: 1and Chrysostom commenting hereon, saith, He also drank of the cup, 2lest hearing those words, they should say, What? Do we then drink blood, and eat flesh? and so be troubled. For when he first made mention of this kind of eating and drinking, many took offence for the words sake only: Therefore, lest this should then also happen, he himself first did eat and drink, that so he might lead them with a quiet reposed mind to the communion of the mysteries. The bread therefore and the cup are not properly Christs body and blood, but sacramentally.
