Here also it seemeth to me the Apostles to follow their Master Christ, and to take the right use of the Sacrament, and also to teach it to those that were converted to Christ, as mention is made in the Acts of the Apostles: where as is said: They continued in the Apostles […] and fellowship in breaking of bread and prayer, and they con•• nued daily with one accord in the temple, 1and brake bre•d […] every house, and did eat there with gladness and singleness o• heart, praising God, and had favour with all the people. And Saint Paul following the same doctrine, doth plainly show the duty of the Minister, and also of them that shall receive it: As oft as you shall eat this bread, and drink th•s cup, ye shall show the Lords death until he come. 2Here I do gather that the Minister hath no further power and authority,3 then to preach and pronounce the lords death, or else to say the Lord Jesus said it, which did fulfil it on the cross.
