VIII. None but the faithfull doe truely eate Christs true flesh.

But albeit the flesh of Christ be offred vnto all, in the supper to be eaten: yet we beleeue that it is truely eaten of the faithfull only; both because they alone haue communion with Christ, and with his flesh and blood, and others haue not; neither by receiuing the bread are made partakers of him; and also because they alone haue the spirite of Christ, by vertue of whom onely, the flesh of Christ is truely com∣municated, yea and also because they alone doe bring true faith, without which, the same cannot bee truely receiued and eaten. For Christ giueth not his true bodie to bee truely and indeed eaten, but only to them, which do aswell beleeue that the same was betraied for them vnto death, and his blood shedd for re∣mission of their sinnes, as those wordes to bee true, This is my bodie.
