Footnotes

1. 1 Corinthians 12:12 He setteth forth his former saying by a similitude taken from the body: This saith he, is manifestly seen in the body, whose members are divers, but yet so knit together, that they make but one body.
2. 1 Corinthians 12:12 The applying of the similitude. So must we also think, saith he, of the mystical body of Christ: for all we that believe, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, are by one selfsame Baptism joined together with our head, that by that means, there may be framed one body compact of many members: and we have drunk one selfsame spirit, that is to say, a spiritual feeling, perseverance and motion common to us all, out of one cup.
3. 1 Corinthians 12:12 Christ joined together with his Church.
4. 1 Corinthians 12:13 To become one body with Christ.
5. 1 Corinthians 12:13 By one quickening drink of the Lord’s blood, we are made partakers of his only Spirit.
6. 1 Corinthians 12:14 He amplifieth that which followed of the similitudes, as if he should say, The unity of the body is not only not left by this diversity of members, but also it could not be a body, if it did not consist of many, and those were divers members.
