Answer. The institution of this sacrament standeth upon the order, example, & commandment of Christ.1 This order he took: First he divided the bread severally from the cup, and afterward the cup severally from the bread.2 Secondly this he did not for any need on his behalf, but only to give us example how to do the same after him, in remembrance of his death to the worlds end. Thirdly, beside this order taken, and example left, he added also an expresse commaundement: Hoc facite, Doe thys. Bibite ex hoc omnes. Drink ye all of this. &c. Against this order, example, and commandment of the Gospel, no Church nor council of men nor angel in heaven hath any power or authority to change or alter, according as we are warned: If any bring to you any other Gospel beside that ye have received, hold him accursed. &c.
