الصفحة 53 - ... remembrance how that for my sins the body of Christ was broken, and his blood shed on the cross ; and with that bread and wine I receive the benefits that come by the breaking of his body, and shedding of his blood, for our sins on the cross. Fecknam. Why, doth not Christ speak these words, " Take, eat, this is my body ? " Require you any plainer words ? Doth he not say, it is his body?
الصفحة 27 - Tell where is Salomon, that once so noble was ? Or where now Samson is, in strength whom none could pass ? Or worthy Jonathas, that prince so lovely bold ? Or fair Absalom, so goodly to behold ? Shew whither is Caesar gone, that conquered far and near?
الصفحة 53 - Jane. No, surely, I do not so believe. I think that at the supper I neither receive flesh nor blood, but bread and wine ; which bread when it is broken, and the wine when it is drunken...
