meanynge wlien lie spake theym hym silfe. whiche dkl, and 
späte all thynges for eure welth. He gave his bodv and bloude 
spretually vnto bis disciples to be eaten and dronken. That 
is, that they shulde beleve, that he wolde offer vp his boddy 
and blond on the crosse to god his father for the redempcion 
of inany. That therby the newe and everlastynge testament 
(which is bitwixte god and vs, the knot of commenaunt 1 that 
he shuld be oure god, and we his chosen children) myght be 
amonge godes electe pupplisshed. So. The affecte of thy 
savinges affcer niyne vnderstondynge is only, that this shulde 
be but a remembraunce howe that Christ frely gave his boddy 
and bloudde for [fol. 21 b .] the redempcion of as many as god 
his father from the begynuynge of the worlde liad predestinate 
to become partakers of his sonnes bloudde. by the reason 
wherof eache one of Christes flocke, stedfastly maye beleve 
hym silfe to be clensed from sinne, and delivered from boudao-e 
Rom. ix. of death and hell, by this acceptable sacrifice made 
and done, bitwixte Christ oure saveoure, and god his father. 
Lnc. mj. Fa. I canne none wotherwyse immagion. For he sayde 
hym silfe, which shalbe broken and geven for you etc. So. He 
gave not then at his last sopper his materiall boddy and 
bloudde vnto theym to be eaten corporally, nor yet hid it 
vnder breade nor vnder wyne? Fa. In no wyse. for he remayned 
bodily sittynge before their eyes. And after the wordes werte 
spoken the bred which he. toke and blist, remayned breade, 
and wyne, wyne. as the lorde hym silfe testifieth in the 
Luc. xxij. gospeil. Wheare as in all goddis workes, after he 
once' had spoken the werde, all thynges are and continewe 
with outen ficcion trewe. and so apere in dede in their owne 
nature, whether they be spretuall, or eis naturally corporall. 
Joan. ij. After he once had made wyne of water, it had nether 
coloure nor taste of water eny more, but was wyne in dede. 
Joan. ix. He [fol. 22*.] made hym also which was borne blinde, 
naturally to se. Insomoche that the pharises beinge never so 
frowarde coulde not denye it. Lykwvse he reased Lazarus 
joan. xj. from death to lyfe agayne, that every man myght se
