Cor. x. For lykewyse as many graynes are sowen to the entēt that breade shoulde be baked of it So soweth the greate father of housholde his preciouse wheate into the acre or grounde of this world to the entent that they all shoulde become one lofe and breake the supper of the Lorde rightly after the wordes of Paule we many are all one breade and one body in as much as we are parte takers of one breade i. Cor. x. And where so euer the congregacion is not so apoynted and the breade broken in thys maner there is the bread eaten and the wyne drōken to a iudgement from the whiche God the merciful father wyll defende and kepe all diligent louers of the euerlastyng trueth tho●…owe his vnexpressable goodnesse and mercye Amen ¶ Of the very chrstian kyngdome VVE beleue also that god the heauēly father hath gyuen to his onely begotten sone Iesu Christe al powre in heauen and erth Math. xxviii yea as Paule sayth He hath set hym on his ryght hande in heauenly thynges aboue all powre rule myght and domynyon and a boue al that maye be named not onely in this worlde but also in the worlde tocome Ephe. i.
