And all that there assembled and ded there eate, and ded openlye testyfye, that they all were one bodye, professynge one fayth in their GOD that Idoll: So S. Paule ded sharpelye rebuke them, for because that by their eatynge (in that place and felowshyppe) they testyfyed openlye, that they were of the develes bodye, and reioysed in the Idoll their God, in whome they had fayth and confydence. And therfor sayeth Paule, that they cā not both drynke the cuppe of the Lorde, testyfyenge hym to be their God in whome onelye they haue truste and affyaunce, ād the cuppe of the devell, testyfyenge the Idoll to be their God and refuge. Here you maye note that the meate and the eatynge of it in thys place and felowshyppe, is more then the common meate ād eatynge in other places. For els they myght lawfullye haue dronken the deuelles cuppe with them the one daye, and the cuppe of the Lorde the nexte daye with his dyscyples. What was it more? Merelye it was meate, whiche by the eatynge of it in that place and felowshyppe, ded testyfye openlye vnto all men, that he was their God whose cuppe they dranke, and before whome they eate in that felowshyppe; and so in their eatynge they praysed and honoured the Idoll. And therfore they that had their truste in the leuynge God and in the bloode of hys sonne Christ, myght not eate with them. And lykewyse it is in the sacrament, the breade and the eatynge of it in the place and felowshyppe where it is receyued, is more then commō breade. What is it more? Verelye it is breade which by the eatynge of it in that place & felowshyppe, doth testyfye openlye vnto all men, that he is our verye God whose cuppe we drynke, and before whome we eate in that felowshyppe, and that we put all our affyaunce in hym and in the bloode of hys sonne Christe Iesu, geuynge God all honoure ād infynyte thankes for hys greate loue wherwith he loued vs, as it is testyfyed in the bloode of hys sonne, which was shedde for our synnes. So that in this place and felowshyppe maye no man eate nor drynke with vs, but he that is of our fayth and knowleageth the same God that we do. As by example, If a mā were well beloued amonge hys neyghboures (albeyt he haue some enemyes) & were longe absent from hys fryndes in a straunge contrye: when he were come home, hys neyghboures that loued hym wolde greatelye reioyse, and peraduēture wolde bye a copon or a nother peace of meate to geue hym hys welcome home, ād gette the to some honeste mans house or to a taverne, and make good chere together, to testyfye opēlye that he is welcome home, and that they all whiche are at that banket reioyse of hys commyge home. Nowe I saye, that this banket is more then another meate, for at thys banket hys enemyes maye be loth to come, because they can not reioyse at hys comynge home, ād therfore can not make good chere amonge thē, testyfyenge that he is welcome home; but rather abhorreth the meate and drynke that is there eatē, because their harte doth not
