abominable handling thereof The law doth bynd the priest people to a popish reading or to a dead and fruitlesse teaching And the signe is made a superstitious trifling colouring of abominatioÌ„s 61 Ministration of the Supper is a due manner of vsing the same by applying it to a right communion By preaching the worde of communion wee vnderstande not the blinde reading or fruitlesse pratâ—inge thereof at randome but a teaching by lawefull messengers of the right vsing of the bodie and blood of Christ in one holie communion and that with power 62 How must the worde be dulie preached The

Iesus by a spirituall feeding thereon and growinge into it by one holie communion Also our thankefulnes and further profiting in godlines vnto life euerlasting 62 What is their popish reading or dead and fruitlesse teaching By a shew of reading or telling of the body bloud of Christ which were geuen for them they mocke them with a shadow of his body or rather a counterfet They make them guiltie of the bodie and bloud of Christ Iesus They are imbouldned made carelesse in their wickednes 62 The death and tormentes of Christe were defined before The spirituall vse and feeding of the bodie blood of Christ is an applying of his whole worke of our redemption by that outwarde signe to feele effectuallie the remedie of our miseries by that partaking growing togither in one bodie of Christ and spirituall Communion Thankes giuing and profiting in godlines are afterwarde defined 63 How must the signe be applied thereto The preacher must take breade and blesse and geue thankes and theÌ„ must he breake it and pronounce it to be the body of Christ which was broken for theÌ„ that by fayth they might feede thereon spirituallie growe into one spiritual bodie of Christ and so he eating thereof him selfe must bidd them take and eate it among them feede on Christ in their consciences Likewise also must he take the cuppe and blesse and geue thankes and so pronounce it to be the bloud of Christ in the newe Testament which was shedd for remission of sinnes that by fayth we might drinke it spirituallie and so be nourished in one spirituall bodie of Christ all sinne being clensed away and then he drinking thereof himselfe must bydd them drinke there of likewise and diuide it amoÌ„g them and feede on Christe in their consciences Then muste they all geue thankes praying for their further profiting in godlines vowing their obedience 63 How is the signe made a superstitious triflinge and colouringe of abominations They take breade or a wafer cake and inchaunte it by reading a grace ouer it and a number of other prayers they reade it to be the bodye of Christ which is but an Idole in stead thereof and they feede on it by their superstition and growe into one wicked communion so
