1 Corinthians11:26

26 For as oft as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lords death till he come .

From hence it appears, that the Bread and Wine is not (as Papists say) transubstantiated or turned into the very substance of the flesh and blood of Christ, when the Communicants eat it and drink it. It is still the same Bread and Cup it was. The end of the Institution is but to commemorate Christs Death, and upon that acount the waiting upon God in this Ordinance, will be a standing duty incumbent upon Christians, untill Christ shall come to Judgment. Soem think, shew ye, is a better Translation of the Verb, than (as we translate it) ye do shew; wherefore so behave your selves at this Ordinance, as those who know what they have to do in it, that is, to shew forth the Death of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Marginal references: Or, shew ye.; Joh. 14.3. Acts 1.11.
