The Lord's Supper.
1 Cor. 11.23. For I have received of the Lord, that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus, the same Night in which he was betrayed, took Bread: Verse 24. And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat, this is my Body which is broken for you: This do in remembrance of me.
The Papists affirm, That after the Words which they call the Words of Consecration, spoken by the Mass-Priest, the Bread is changed into the real Body of Jesus Christ; and many of the blessed Martyrs, in Queen Mary's Days, were burned to Ashes for denying this Transubstantiation. Which absurd and monstrous Conceit of theirs hath been learnedly confuted by many ancient and modern Writers, so that it may be thought needless to add any thing here upon that account; yet that we may make our way the more plain to these metaphorical and figurative Expressions used by our Saviour, when he instituted the holy Sacr meant of the Supper, saying, This is my Body, something briefly we shall offer, in confutation of their pernicious Doctrine; which may soon be done, for they confute themselves, in saying, that the Sacrament is a Feast for our Souls, and not for our Bodies: Now what is my Soul the better, when I eat the very Body of Christ? Christ is eat and received spiritually: Whoso eateth my Flesh, and drinketh my Blood, hath everlasting Life; 1and I will (saith Christ) raise him up at the last Day. Therefore the eating of Christ's Flesh cannot intend the receiving of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper; for if it did, it would be a very easy way for the vilest Sinner to go to Heaven.
