What is it to eate the bodie of Christ crucified, and to drinke his bloud that was shed?

It is not onely to imbrace by an assured confidence of minde, the whole passion and death of Christ, and thereby to obtain forgiuenes of sins and euerlasting life, but also by the holy Ghost, who dwelleth both in Christ and vs, so more and more to beea vnited to his sacred bodie, that though he be inb heauen, and we in earth, yet neuerthelesse are wee flesh of his flesh, and bone of hisc bones; and as all the members of the bodie are by one soule, so are wee also quickened andd guided by one and the same spirite.e
