A. The Lord's Supper is to be Dispensed by a Minister of the Word, unto the Faithful of the same Body; or commended to them from a like Body; having examined & judged themselves and sitting down with them at the Lord's Table, before whom the Minister breaks the Bread, and blesseth it, taketh it, and giveth it to all the Brethren, with this Command, once for all, to take it, and eat it as the Body of Christ broken for them▪ and this do in remembrance of Christ: In like manner, he taketh the Cup, and having given thanks, he poureth it forth, and giveth it to them once for all, to take and drink it, as the Blood of Christ shed for them, and this do in Remembrance of Christ; after all he ends his Thanksgiving with Singing a Psalm. 1 Cor. 10.17. 1 Cor 12.13, 14 Rom. 10, 1, 2 2 Cor 3.1, 2 1 Cor. 11.28 Mat 26.26, 27, 28 1 Cor 11.24 Mat 26.30.
