They shulde haue brought their meate and drynke ād haue deuyded it with their poore bretherne, that they myght haue bene mery together, and so to haue geuē thē occasyō to be merye and reioyse in the Lorde with thankes geuynge. But they had neyther luste to prayse God, nor to confyrte their neyghboure. Their fayth was feable, ād their charyte colde, ād had no regarde but to fyll their bodye ād feade their fleshe: And so dyspysed the poore cōgregacyō of God, whome they shulde haue honoured for the spyryte that was in thē and fauoure that God had shewed indyfferētlye vnto thē in the bloode of hys sonne Christe. When Paule perceyued that they were thus fleshlye mynded and had no mynde vnto that spyrytuall maundye whiche chefelye shulde there be aduertysed, he reproueth thē sore, rehersynge the wordes of Christe. That which I gaue vnto you I receyued of the lorde. For the lorde Iesus the same nyght in the which he was betrayed toke breade and thanked and brake it and sayde: take ye and eate ye, this is my bodye which is broken for you, this do ye in the remembraunce of me. After the same maner he toke the cuppe whē souper was done sayenge: this cuppe is the newe testament in my bloode, this do ye as ofte as ye drynke it in the remembraunce of me. For as ofte as ye shall eate thys breade and drynke thys cuppe, ye shall shewe the Lordes death, tyll he come. As though he shulde saye, ye Corynthyans are moche to blame which at this souper seake the foode of your fleshe. For it was instytute of Christe, not for the intent to nouryshe the belye, but to strenght the harte and soule in God. And by this you maye knowe that Christe so mente: For he calleth it his bodye whiche is geuen for you, so that the name it selfe myght testyfye vnto you, that in this souper you shulde more eate his bodye which is geuē for you (by digestynge that in to the bowelles of your soule) then the breade, which by the breakynge and the dystrybutynge of it, doth represent his bodye breakynge ād the dystrybutynge therof vnto all that are faythfull. And that he so meaneth is evydēte by the wordes folowynge, which saye, thys do in the remembraunce of me: and lykewyse of the cuppe. And fynallye concludynge of both, Paule sayeth, as often as ye shall eate thys breade and drynke thys cuppe (in thys place and felowshyppe) ye shall shewe the Lordes death vntyll he come, praysynge the Lorde for the deathe of hys sonne, and exhortynge other to do the same, reioysynge in hym with infynyte thākes. And therfore ye are to blame which seake onelye to feade the bellye with that thynge, which was onelye instytute to feade the soule. And thervpon yt foloweth.
