[Sidenote: 11.] When the Israelytes were delyuered from Egypte, they eate neuerthelesse the Paschal Lambe whiche was styll called the passynge bye (because it was the remēbraunce of the passynge bye of the Lorde) and hartelye reioysed, offerynge hym sacryfyce and knowelegynge with infynite thankes, that they were the felowshyppe of them that had suche a mercyfull God. Now Christes electe are delyuered from synne, they eate neuerthelesse the sacramēt which is styll called hys bodye that ones dyed for their delyueraunce, and hartelye reioyse, offerynge to hym the sacryfyce of prayse and knoweledge with infynite thākes, that they are of the felowshyppe of them that haue suche a mercyfull God. [Sidenote: 12.] The Paschall Lambe (after their delyueraunce beynge yearlye eaten) brought as moche myrthe and Ioye vnto them that ded eate it in fayth, as it ded to their fathers which felte Pharaoes furye, & were not yet delyuered. For they knewe ryght well that excepte God of hys mercye and wōderfull power had so delyuered them, they shulde also them selfes haue bene bounde in the Londe of Egypte, and vnder that wycked Prynce Pharao, of whiche bōdage they greatelye reioysed to be rydde alreadye, and thanked God hyghly because they founde them selfes in that plentuouse Londe whiche God prouyded for them. The sacramēt which after our delyueraunce is yearlye and daylye eatē, bryngeth as moche myrth and Ioye vnto vs that eate it in fayth, as it ded to the Apostles which were not yet delyuered. For we knowe ryght well that excepte God of hys mercye and through the bloode of his sonne had so delyuered vs, we shulde also our selfes haue bene bounde in the Egypte of synne vnder that wycked Prynce the deuell, of which bondage we greatelye reioyse to be rydde alredye, and thanke God hyghlye because we fynde our selues in the state of grace, and haue receyued throughe fayth the fyrste frutes and taste of the spyryte, which testyfyeth vnto vs that we are the chylderne of God. This maundye of remembraunce was it that Paule receyued of the Lorde and delyuered to the Corynthyans in the .xi. chaptre. For though he borowe one propertye and symylytude of the sacramente in the .x. chapter, which in my mynde maketh neyther with vs nor agaynste vs, albeit some thynke that it maketh whole for the exposycyon of Christes wordes, [Sidenote: 1. Cor. 10.] thys is my bodye. But in my mynde they are deceyued. For the occasyon whye Paule spake of it in the tenthe chapter, was thys.
