In the breaking of bread in the Lordes Supper, we follow both the Lordes a 1.1 cō∣maundement, and his b 1.2 example: for the Lord did not onely breake the bread, and so by breaking it, did consecrate the same a Sacrament of his body, but also commā∣ded this bread so blessed & so broken, to be receiued, and eaten, as the liuely sym∣bole and Sacrament of his precious body
broken, that is, crucified for vs. And the c 1.3 Apostle saith, that he receiued of the Lord which he deliuered to the Corinthi∣ans concerning the administration of this Sacrament: and this d 1.4 breaking of bread he both commaunded & commended vn∣to them. To be short then, the breaking of bread, is an essentiall ceremonie in the Lordes Supper: for that this is the princi∣pall end thereof to represent, seale and set before vs the passion and breaking ofe 1.5 the body of Christ. The same reason is of the powring forth of the wine, if we cōpare it with the shedding of the bloud of Christ.
