What is it to eat the Body of Christ?

It is not only to imbrace, by an assured Confidence of Mind, the whole Passion and Death of Christ, and thereby,a to obtain Forgiveness of Sins, and everlasting Life, but also by the Holy Ghost, who dwelleth both in Christ, and us, so more and more tob be united to his sacred Body, that though he bec in Heaven, and we on Earth, yet nevertheless we are Flesh of his Flesh, and Bone of hisd Bones: and as all the Members of the Body are quickned by one Soul: so are we also quickned ande guided by one and the same Spirit.
