In the receiving of this sacrament, there be things required both in the inward man and also in the outward man. The inward preparation is when the man receiving the bread and the wine, being subjects ⟨p. cxlvi⟩and matters under the judgement and censure of the senses, the mind is elevated and lift up into heaven: persuading him self by faith, that as truly appertaineth unto him y• promises and grace of God through the merits and death of Christ, as he sensibly, and outwardly receiveth the sacrament and witness of gods promises. And doubt no more of an inward friendship, familiarity, concord, peace, love atonement, and fatherly petty and compassion, through Christ by the means of faith, then he doubteth that his mouth outwardly doth receive y• signs & sacraments of gods mercies. To excitat in us this faith ⟨image 156⟩and believe in the merits of Christ: the bread is called the body, and the wine his blood, after the manner and frase of the scripture.
