 he sayde^ receave ye the wholy gost. tbis blowinge was not 

 the wh- [24^.] oly gost. Foi- he was nether therin, nor yet 

 tbervnder. but yet the disciples thorowe their beleve receaved 

 hym inuisibly into their hertes even as we do christes body 

 vnder the signe or token of bred and wyne, though he nether 

 be in nor yet vnder theyni. Tbis bred entreth into the body, 

 but the bodd}- of Christ thorowe the operacion of the wholy 

 gost, commeth by the worde of god into the herte. For the 

 ontwarde worde is only a sounde or a voyce, betokenynge that

 hertes of bis belevynge children. were ' as they represent vnto 

 the children of vnbelefe but a voyd thynge or a vayne voyce. 

 These sacrementes and signes tberfor betoken the body of

 raisvsed this supper, eatynge and drynkynge dronken, where as 

 wother hongered and thirsted. by reason Avhere of, the charite, 

 of wother which were called brethren, was broken, there as it 

 shulde have bene vndefiled. because that the lordes breade 

 which they thus ought to have broken in fervent love and 

 charite wone with another, for a remembraunce of j. cor. xij. 

 the incompai-able love of Christis death and passion, wherewith 

 they were vnyed and knet together , was after this wyse 

 institute and vsed to be devided and receaved, but for a witnes 

 or testiraoniall, as they did eate of one breade, even so to be
