THerefore the said holy Synod taught by the holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Fear of God, and following the judgment and custom of the said Catholick Church, doth de∣clare and teach; That Laymen, and those not made Clerks, are by no divine command obliged to take the Sacrament of the Eucharist in both kinds, nor can (Salvà fide) be doubted, but that their communicating in one kind is sufficient to Salvation. For although the Lord Christ did institute in his last Supper this venerable Sacrament under the kinds of Bread and Wine, and so gave it to his Apostles, yet such Institution and Tradition do not infer, that all Christian Be∣lievers are by Gods Ordinance obliged to take it in both kinds. Nor is it rightly gather'd from that saying in the Sixth of John, that the Communion in both kinds was commanded by Christ; however it may be understood according to the various Interpretations of the holy Fathers and Doctors. For he that said, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his Blood, ye have no Life

in you; said also, He that eateth of this Bread, shall live for ever. And he that said, Whoso eateth my Flesh, and drinketh my Blood, hath eternal Life; said also, The Bread which I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the Life of the World. And lastly he that said, He that eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Blood, dwelleth in me and I in him; said nevertheless, He that eateth of this Bread shall live for ever.
