 Or, if it were broken upon the cross, it was not eaten of his disciples.

Feck. Why, is it not as possible that Christ by his power could make his body both to be eaten and broken, as to; be born of a woman without the seed of man; and to walk on the sea, having a body; and other such like miracles as he wrought by his power only?

L. Jane. Yes, verily, in Christ would have done at his supper a miracle; he might have done so but, I gather think, he minded no work or miracle, hut only to break his body, and shed his blood on the cross for our sins. But I pray you, answer me to this one question. Where was Christ when he said Take, eat, this is my body? Was not he at the table when he said so? He was at that time alive, and suffered not till the next day. Well, what, took he, but bread? And what brake he, but bread? And what gave he, but bread? What he took, he brake; and what, he brake, he gave; and what; he gave, .that, did they eat; and yet, all this while he himself was at supper before his disciples, or else they were deceived.
