Page 91 - The body and blood of Christ which are verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful in the Lord's Supper.
Page 11 - Follow'd false lights; and when their glimpse was gone, My pride struck out new sparkles of her own. Such was I, such by nature still I am; Be thine the glory, and be mine the shame. Good life be now my task; my doubts are done: What more could fright my faith, than Three in One?
