NOw without all manner of con∣troversie this we hold for a sure position, and a certain truth, that, although the very body and bloud of the Lord are not, that is, exist not in their own substance, and real∣ly and properly in the bread & wine, but in heaven: Yet together with the
distribution of the bread and wine, the very flesh and bloud also are true∣ly offered unto all to be eaten, and to be drunk. But how? Not simply, but as the one was delivered unto death for us, and the other poured forth for the remission of our sins. For the words of Christ ina 1.1 Iohn are manifest concerning the eating of his flesh and the drinking of his bloud, if any man will have life in him: and consonant and agreeable unto the words of Christ are the words of the Apostle also saying,b 1.2 Whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the [true] body and bloud of the Lord. Neither do we doubt but, as Christ openly commanded the bread to be eaten, so also not long after where he said, this is my body, he secretly commanded that also to be eaten no lesse then the bread; but yet each af∣ter it's own manner.
Iohn 6.51.
