Nothing can better or more clearly testify and declare, what is contained in the Sacrament of Christs holy body and blood, then do the words of Scripture,1 whereby it was institute. Mark doth agree with Matthew, so that in a manner he reciteth his very words. And no marvel it is. For as the Doctors do say, the Gospel of Mark is a very Epitome or abridgement of Matthew. I shall therefore write the relations of them touching the institution of this sacrament together. The relation or testimony of Matthew is this: As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks he brake and gave to his disciples, and said: Take, eat, this is my body. And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, 2saying drink ye all of this, for this is my blood of the new Testament which is shed for many, for the remission of sins. And I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day, that I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my father.

Marke doth agree wyth Mathewe, so that in a maner he reciteth his very wordes. And no maruaile it is. For as the Doctours doe say, the Gospell of Marke is a very Epytome or abridgement of Mathew. I shall therefore write the relations of them touching the institution of this sacrament together. The relation or testimonie of Mathewe is this: As they were eating, Iesus tooke bread, and when hee had geuen thankes he brake and gaue to hys disciples, and sayde: Take, eate, this is my body. And taking the cup, and geuing thankes, hee gaue it to them, 2saying drinke yee all of this, for this is my bloud of the new Testamēt which is shed for manye, for the remission of sinnes. And I say vnto you, I will not drinke hencefoorth of this fruite of the vine, vntill that day, that I drinke it new with you in the kingdome of my father.
