The Lord Iesus the same night,* 1.1 in the which he was betrayed, toke bread: and when hee had geuen thankes, he brake it, & gaue it to his disciples, saying: Take ye, & eate: thys is my body, which is broken for you. Thys doe ye in the remem∣brance of me. After the same maner also he toke y^• cup, whē supper was done, saying: This cup is the new testament in my bloud. This do, as oft as ye drinke it, in remēbrance of

me. For as oftē as ye shall eate this bread, & drinke of thys cup, ye shall shew the Lords death till he come.

When they were eating,* 1.2 Iesus tooke bread: and when he had ge∣uen thankes, he brake it, and gaue it to his disciples, and sayd: Take, eate: this is my body. And he tooke the cup, and thanked, and gaue it them, saying: drinke ye all of thys. For thys is my bloud (which is of the new testament) that is shed for many, for the remission of sinnes.

As they did eate,* 1.3 Iesus tooke bread: and when hee had geuen thankes, he brake it, and gaue it to them, and sayd: Take, eate: thys is my body. And he toke the cup, and when he had geuen thankes, he tooke it to thē, and they all dranke of it, and he sayd vnto them: Thys is my bloud of the new testament, which is shed for many.

He tooke bread,* 1.4 and whē he had

geuen thankes, he brake it, & gaue vnto them, saying: This is my bo∣dy, which is geuen for you: This do in the remēbraunce of me. Like∣wise also when he had supped, he tooke the cup, saying: This cup is the new testament in my bloud, which is shed for you.
