In a dialogue between a minister of the Gospel. Alexander an ignorant profane man. Simon a proud professor. And Matthias an humble penitent. Imprimatur Edmund Calamy.Londons gate to the Lords Table.

Min. To discern the LORDS Body, is to put a right difference between the outward Elements in the Sacrament, and common1 Bread and Wine, which difference is not at all in ⟨p. 36⟩substance but in the use, the one being profane the other sacred, being set a part to signify unto us the benefits of Christs death and passion; or the discerning of the Lords Body stands in knowledge, understanding and2 judgement of the nature, use, and necessity of the Sacrament; but you have manifested by that which you said ere while, That you put no difference betwixt the Bread and Wine at the Lords Table and common bread and wine, but would use them as you do your ordinary food, without any regard of the spiritual use of ⟨p. 37⟩them, and therefore you are not able to discern the Lords Body at the Sacrament.
