The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
Ver. 16. The cup of blessing] Not the chalice, but the common cup. Calvin chose rather to leave Geneva than to use unleavened bread or wafer cakes at the Lord's supper. (Diest. de ratione studii Theol.) We may not symbolize with idolaters.
Is it not the communion] Doth it not signify and set forth, yea, as an instrument, effect and exhibit this communion?
