Of the vnion that is betvvene Iesus Christ and his members, signified by the breade and the vvine in the Supper.
M.
I Am very well contented for thys time with that which thou hast said, and therefore shewe me now, what pro∣perties the bread and the wine haue yet, which are agreable to this Sacramente of the Supper, beside that whiche thou hast already said.
P.
I haue already sayd that those signs were agreable to this sa∣crament, bycause they be apte to repre∣sent the spirituall nouriture by the bodi∣ly.
M.
I doe very well remember thys pointe.
P.
Thou hast also to note vppon the same, that as one lofe and one vessell of wine are made of many graines ga∣thered togither, euen so doe they in the Supper represente vnto vs, how that al the children of God which are dispersed,
descriptionPage 345
are gathered & broughte togither in one, and vnited with Iesus Christ their head, by his deathe,* 1.1 as Saincte Iohn doth wit∣nesse.
M.
Thou wilte then saye, that that vniō which is made of many graines, in one lofe or in one wine, doth signifie vn∣to vs the vnion that is betwene Iesus Christ and his Church, to witte, betwene the head and the mēbers.
P.
It signifieth not only the vnion which is betwene Ie∣sus Christ and his members, but also the vnion which is and ought to be betwene all the members of his body, which can∣not be vnited with their heade Iesus christ, nor haue him for their head, if they be not vnited among themselues, the one with the other: for Iesus Christ may not be deuided. And therefore Sainct Paule hath saide to the same purpose, that we are all one bread, and therefore we do al∣so euery of vs part take of one very bread and one very cuppe.
