Proverbs9:5

Verſ. 5. Come eat of my bread] Stand not off in a ſinful modeſty; ſay not, I am not worthy, &c. but come, for the Maſter calls you, as they ſaid to the blinde man, who therefore came. And thoſe reculant gueſts, by not coming when invited, might not taſte of Chriſts Supper; for they were unworthy, Matth. 22.

And drink of the wine which I have mingled] Loe here a full feaſt, not a dry feaſt. Liranus noteth on this Chapter, that the Euchariſt was anciently delivered in both kinds: But becauſe of the danger of ſpilling the blood, the Church ordained that Lay-men ſhould have the bread onely.Caranza. The Council of Conſtance comes in with a Non-obſtante againſt Chriſts inſtitution, with-holding the Cup from the Sacrament.
