To Christ’s ministering of the eucharistical supper together with the preceding supper, Christians had respect when they celebrated the Lord’s supper together with the love-feasts. Probabile est eos ad Christi exemplum respexisse, qui eucharistiam inter coenandum instituit, saith Pareus.
Non legimus, saith he, prostratos adorasse, sed ut erant discumbentes accepisse et manducasse. Christus, saith Martyr, eucharistiam apostolis una secum sedentibus aut discumbentibus distribuit. G. J. Vossius puts it out of doubt that Christ was still sitting at the giving of the bread to the apostles.
The fathers, saith Trelcatius, had not only respect to those five words, “For this is my body,” dum eucharistiam fieri dixerunt mystica precc, invocatione nominis divini, solemni benedictione, gratiarum actione. 2.
