Chapter 4. Have but one Eucharist, etc.

Chapter 5

1Take heed, then, to have but one Eucharist . For there is one flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ , and one cup to [show forth ] the unity of His blood; one altar; as there is one bishop , along with the presbytery and deacons , my fellow-servants: that so, whatsoever you do, you may do it according to [the will of] God.
