As touching the words of Christe, Bibite ex hoc omnes: Drink ye all of this: They pertain to the Apostles only, and to their successors. For to them 49¹ only he gave commandment to do that, which he did in his supper,² as Clement saith: to them only saying, do this in my remembrance, he gave Commission to consecrate, offer, and to receive the Sacrament in remembrance of his death and passion, by the same words ordaining them priests of the new Testament. Wherefore this belongeth not to the lay people, neither can it justly be gathered by this place, that they are bound of necessity, and^a under pain of deadly sin to receive the Sacrament under both kinds.
