一、我们的主耶稣在祂被卖的那一夜，设立了祂的身体和血的圣礼，称为主的晚餐，应当在祂的教会中遵守，直到世界的末了；为了永远记念祂自己在祂的死中被献为祭，印证真信徒在其中得着所有益处，在祂里面得着属灵的滋养和生长，使他们进一步委身和履行向祂当尽的责任；也是作为祂奥秘身体之肢体的信徒与祂交通、也彼此相通的纽带和保证（林前11:23-26；10:16-17,21；12:13）。（译注：各个宗派都接受从下往上的记念功效，但这里指出还有从上而下的实际功效。）

Our Lord Jesus, in the night wherein He was betrayed, instituted the sacrament of His body and blood, called the Lord’s Supper, to be observed in His church unto the end of the world; for the perpetual remembrance of the sacrifice of Himself in His death, the sealing all benefits thereof unto true believers, their spiritual nourishment and growth in Him, their further engagement in and to all duties which they owe unto Him; and to be a bond and pledge of their communion with Him, and with each other, as members of His mystical body.

二、在这圣礼中，基督并没有被献给祂的父，也没有为赦免活人或死人的罪而献上任何真正的祭物（来9:22,25-26,28；10:10-14），而是纪念祂在十字架上一次而永远地献上祂自己，并为此向神献上一切可能的赞美作为属灵的祭（林前11:24-26；太26:26-27；路22:19-20）；因此，天主教所谓的弥撒祭，对于基督那唯一的献祭，即祂为选民的一切罪所献的唯一挽回祭，是最可憎的侮辱（来7:23-24,27；10:11-12,14,18）。

In this sacrament Christ is not offered up to His Father, nor any real sacrifice made at all for remission of sins of the quick or dead, but a commemoration of that one offering up of Himself, by Himself, upon the cross, once for all, and a spiritual oblation of all possible praise unto God for the same; so that the popish sacrifice of the mass, as they call it, is most abominably injurious to Christ’s one only sacrifice, the alone propitiation for all the sins of the elect.

三、主耶稣在这圣礼中，指定祂的仆人向人宣告祂设立此礼的话语，祷告，祝福圣礼元素饼和酒、从而使它们从普通的用途分别为圣洁的用途；拿起饼来擘开，拿起杯来，然后（他们自己也领受）将两者都交给领受者（太26:26-28；可14:22-24；路22:19-20；林前10:16-17；11:23-27）；但不可分给未出席聚会的人（徒20:7；林前11:20）。（译注：对于因病弱不能出席聚会者，许多教会的做法是由包括神仆在内的两位以上教会代表，把饼杯带到他们那里一同领受。）

The Lord Jesus hath, in this ordinance, appointed His ministers to declare His word of institution to the people, to pray, and bless the elements of bread and wine, and thereby to set them apart from a common to an holy use; and to take and break the bread, to take the cup, and (they communicating also themselves) to give both to the communicants; but to none who are not then present in the congregation.

四、私人弥撒，即从神甫或任何其他人单独领受这圣礼（林前10:16）；同样，拒绝将杯分给信徒（太26:27-28；可14:23；林前11:25-29），崇拜圣礼元素，举起它们，或捧着游行膜拜，借口宗教用途而保存它们，都与这圣礼的本质和基督设立的宗旨背道而驰（太15:9）。（译注：在有条件去教会的情况下，却在教会之外领圣餐，并不符合这圣礼的本质和基督设立的宗旨。）

Private masses, or receiving this sacrament by a priest, or any other, alone; as likewise the denial of the cup to the people; worshipping the elements, the lifting them up, or carrying them about for adoration, and the reserving them for any pretended religious use, are all contrary to the nature of this sacrament, and to the institution of Christ.

五、这圣礼中的外在元素，经过合适地分别出来供基督所定的用途，与被钉十字架的基督有着如此的关系，以致于它们有时可以被真实地、但仅仅在圣礼的意义上，用它们所代表的事物的名称来称呼，即基督的身体和血（太26:26-28）；尽管如此，它们在本质和性质上仍然和以前一样，真正是、也只是饼和酒（林前11:26-28；太26:29）。

The outward elements in this sacrament, duly set apart to the uses ordained by Christ, have such relation to Him crucified, as that truly, yet sacramentally only, they are sometimes called by the name of the things they represent, to wit, the body and blood of Christ; albeit, in substance and nature, they still remain truly, and only, bread and wine, as they were before.

六、主张通过神甫祝谢，或任何其他方法，将饼和酒的本质转变为基督的身体与血的本质的教义（通称为化质说），不仅与圣经相悖，且违反常识和理性；颠覆了圣礼的性质，过去和现在都是造成各种迷信，甚至严重的偶像崇拜的原因（徒3:21；林前11:24-26；路24:6,39）。（译注：这是否定天主教「化质说/变质说/圣餐变体论 Transubstantiation」的观点。）

That doctrine which maintains a change of the substance of bread and wine, into the substance of Christ’s body and blood (commonly called transubstantiation) by consecration of a priest, or by any other way, is repugnant, not to Scripture alone, but even to common-sense and reason; overthroweth the nature of the sacrament; and hath been, and is, the cause of manifold superstitions, yea, of gross idolatries.

七、那按理领受者在外在领受此礼的有形元素时（林前11:28），也凭信心在内心真正地、确实地，但不是在物质和肉体上、而是在属灵上，领受并吃喝被钉十字架的基督，以及祂受死的一切益处：基督的身体和血不是物质地、或肉体地在饼和酒之中、之旁或之下；而是真实地、但属灵地，呈现给行此礼的信徒的信心，正如元素本身呈现给他们的外在感官一样（林前10:16,3-4）。（译注：这是否定路德宗「同质说/合质说/圣体共在论 Consubstantiation」的观点。路德认为基督的人性和神性都与饼酒同在，加尔文认为基督的人性在天上、神性与饼酒同在，但他们都主张每个主日都领饼酒，因为虽然基督始终与信徒同在，但在这圣礼中是特别同在的时刻。）

Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking of the visible elements in this sacrament, do then also inwardly by faith, really and indeed, yet not carnally and corporally, but spiritually, receive and feed upon Christ crucified, and all benefits of His death: the body and blood of Christ being then not corporally or carnally in, with, or under the bread and wine; yet as really, but spiritually, present to the faith of believers in that ordinance, as the elements themselves are to their outward senses.

八、无知和邪恶的人纵然在这圣礼中领受了外在的元素，也不能领受其中所表征的事物；但由于他们不按理领受，乃是干犯主的身和血，就定了自己的罪。因此，一切无知和不敬虔的人，因为不配享受与祂相交，所以他们不配来到主的桌前；若他们仍然如此参与这些圣洁的奥秘（林前11:27-29；林后6:14-16；林前10:21）、或被允许参与（林前5:6-7,13；帖后3:6,14-15；太7:6），一定会大大得罪基督。

Although ignorant and wicked men receive the outward elements in this sacrament, yet they receive not the thing signified thereby; but by their unworthy coming thereunto are guilty of the body and blood of the Lord, to their own damnation. Wherefore all ignorant and ungodly persons, as they are unfit to enjoy communion with Him, so are they unworthy of the Lord’s table, and cannot, without great sin against Christ, while they remain such, partake of these holy mysteries, or be admitted thereunto.
