I can’t find the exact quotation from Luther but his thought lines up with Calvin on this, “its [civil government’s] objects also are that idolatry, sacrileges against the name of God, blasphemies against his truth, and other offenses against religion...”

...may not openly appear and be disseminated among the people” Luther definitely held that the suppression of blasphemy was an appropriate function of the temporal kingdom

Calvin on how Ephesians 5:30 - "we are members of his body" - refers to the Eucharist (p.313):

Unfolding the Reformed Eucharistic theology embodied in the BCP and Articles, the book is a glorious reminder of how these set forth that in the Supper, in Calvin's words, we partake of "the very substance itself of the Son of Man".

Imagine thinking that this would be good, even if true.
