2. The Lords Supper witnesseth unto us, That Christ (according to the Articles of faith) as concerning his humanity, is in heaven at the right hand of his Father, and is not shrouded under the bare accidents of the elements or signs in the Supper, and that he exhibiteth unto us in the Supper his body and blood, to be eaten and drunken by faith; and that he ingraffeth us into himself by his holy Spirit, that we may abide in him, and have him abiding in us, as it is said: He that is joined unto the Lord, 1is one spirit. The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? We have such an high-Priest, that sitteth at the right hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the heavens. For he were not a Priest, if he were on earth. Contrariwise, the Mass teacheth us, That bread and wine, by force of consecration, is changed into Christs body and blood; and that this his body and blood in the act of consecration is conveyed by an Angel into heaven, lieth corporally under the forms of bread and wine, is really carried up and down in the hands of the Minister, and received by the mouth of the Communicants. These forgeries are repugnant to the Articles of Faith, the Incarnation, the Ascension, and Intercession, and the return of Christ unto Judgement: and to the nature of Sacraments, in which the signs must needs remain, and not lose their nature.
