EXPRESSION III. Of this, That the consecrated Bread and Wine, are not to be taken as common Bread, and com∣mon Wine.

FOr it is with this, as it is with Wax stamped with the great Seale: for as that in substance differs not from other Wax, but yet in value is farre more ex∣cellent, and may not be abused, or unre∣verently used, without contempt, or great wrong offered to the King or State whose the Seale is: So the Bread, and the Wine in the Sacrament, though in sub∣stance it differ not from other Bread and Wine, yet concerning the use to which it is now put, and designed, it is much more pretious than any other Bread or Wine in the World, being now appoint∣ed by, God to be a Signe, and Seale, and an exhibiting instrument of the Body and Bloud of Christ, and therefore can∣not be profaned, or abused without con∣tempt of Christ Jesus, and his holy Ordi∣nance.
