those who privately receive the sacra- ment to merit themselves or other; who make it a sacrifice for the redemption of sin, ib.; who are they that receive it worthily, viz. those who receive it as a most worthy sacrament or sign repre- senting all that Christ did or pur- chased for us by his death, 433; they offend which honour the bread with divine honour, spoiling Christ of the victory achieved by the once offering of himself for all, ib.; Christ did not eat up all himself, but they re- quire us to believe, that the priest re- ceives it for us, and in our names, ib. ; worthy receiving explained, ib. ; for what cause and to what end Christ instituted this sacrament, 436; the fruit which the supper of the Lord bringeth to us, 437-9; in what sense the body and blood of Christ are given to us in the Lord's sup- per, 440; the sacrament of the Lord ought not to be separated from his substance and verity, 439, 440; we are stirred up by it to consider the benefits we receive of our Lord Jesus Christ, 442; we are more vehemently stirred up to holiness of life, ib.; the right use thereof, 443; how we ought to approach the Lord's table, 446, 7; plea of unworthiness considered, 448, 9; in what sense the fathers spoke of the Lord's supper as a sa- crifice, 451; Romish opinion of the Lord's supper as an actual sacrifice for sin opposed to the sufficiency of the sacrifice of Christ, 453; refusal of the cup in the Lord's supper by the Romanists opposed to the insti- tution of Christ, 459, 60; the fruit of Christ's death communicated to us in the Lord's supper, not on account of the merit of the work, but for the promises that are made to us therein, 461; substance of our belief, that when we do, according to the institu- tion of the Lord, receive the sacrament with faith, we are undoubtedly made partakers of the substance of the body
