the_o scripture_n always_o call_v the_o eucharist_n even_o after_o consecration_n bread_n saint_n luke_n call_v it_o the_o communion_n of_o break_v of_o bread_n 2.46_o act._n 2.46_o saint_n paul_n

stranger_n in_o my_o house_n and_o for_o above_o eight_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n neither_o hear_v of_o nor_o think_v on_o and_o whensoever_o the_o ancient_a father_n do_v call_v the_o eucharist_n by_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n body_n their_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v christ_n body_n sacramental_o without_o cease_v to_o be_v bread_n still_o even_o as_o the_o water_n of_o holy_a baptism_n be_v sacramental_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o wash_v the_o soul_n yet_o notwithstanding_o remain_v it_o still_o water_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o the_o eucharistical_a bread_n do_v get_v by_o consecration_n more_o than_o it_o have_v before_o and_o what_o manner_n of_o transmutation_n or_o change_v that_o be_v which_o the_o holy_a father_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v in_o the_o bread_n after_o consecration_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o bread_n before_o consecration_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o ordinary_a bread_n and_o only_o material_a food_n for_o the_o body_n but_o upon_o consecration_n it_o be_v alter_v and_o change_v and_o that_o spiritual_o and_o not_o material_o for_o it_o become_v sacramental_a bread_n and_o by_o so_o be_v it_o attayn_v a_o very_a great_a and_o marvellous_a privilege_n that_o whosoever_o do_v worthy_a lie_n eat_v it_o in_o the_o holy_a communion_n do_v receive_v the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o certain_a unspeakable_a but_o spiritual_a and_o sacramental_a manner_n christ_n have_v ordain_v and_o promise_v that_o whensoever_o this_o bread_n be_v make_v sacramental_a by_o consecration_n shall_v be_v eat_v worthy_a lie_n he_o will_v give_v his_o body_n spiritual_o and_o all_o other_o admirable_a spiritual_a benefit_n for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o those_o that_o shall_v thus_o worthylie_o communicate_v
and_o in_o regard_n of_o this_o spiritual_a effect_n of_o receive_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n spiritual_o as_o often_o as_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n be_v worthylie_o receive_v in_o the_o act_n of_o communicate_v the_o father_n be_v wont_a to_o call_v that_o bread_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n christ_n when_o he_o give_v the_o communion_n to_o his_o apostle_n in_o his_o last_o supper_n do_v call_v that_o bread_n which_o he_o deliver_v to_o they_o his_o body_n so_o also_o must_v we_o understand_v the_o consecrate_a wine_n which_o be_v drink_v corporal_o in_o the_o sacrament_n the_o very_a blood_n of_o christ_n be_v drink_v but_o spiritual_o &_o not_o corporal_o and_o so_o in_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n there_o be_v spiritual_o the_o true_a body_n and_o the_o true_a blood_n of_o christ_n with_o their_o true_a and_o real_a effect_n wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o worthy_a communicant_a but_o there_o be_v neither_o the_o body_n nor_o the_o blood_n corporal_o and_o that_o which_o be_v there_o corporal_o be_v very_a bread_n and_o very_a wine_n employ_v sacramental_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v understand_v also_o of_o the_o water_n of_o holy_a baptism_n for_o that_o also_o before_o the_o invocation_n of_o the_o most_o holy_a trinity_n in_o the_o act_n of_o baptise_v be_v no_o other_o then_o mere_a ordinary_a water_n but_o by_o that_o invocation_n it_o be_v consecrate_v in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o baptism_n and_o so_o at_o one_o &_o the_o same_o time_n both_o the_o water_n be_v consecrate_v and_o of_o ordinary_a become_v sacramental_a and_o withal_o there_o be_v perform_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n with_o the_o inward_a effect_n of_o purge_v the_o soul_n whereas_o in_o the_o eucharist_n the_o consecration_n go_v before_o whereby_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v make_v sacramental_a and_o afterward_o follow_v the_o eat_n and_o drink_v of_o they_o in_o which_o action_n consist_v the_o very_a sacrament_n and_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v inward_o to_o he_o that_o worthylie_o eat_v and_o drink_v this_o sacramental_a bread_n and_o wine_n but_o whosoever_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v they_o unworthylie_o without_o examine_v himself_o and_o first_o be_v cleanse_v from_o sin_n he_o do_v not_o eat_v nor_o drink_v any_o other_o thing_n than_o bread_n and_o wine_n for_o to_o those_o that_o be_v unworthy_a christ_n afford_v not_o spiritual_o his_o body_n nor_o his_o blood_n howsoever_o they_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v the_o consecrate_a bread_n and_o wine_n which_o consecration_n have_v this_o operation_n that_o it_o make_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n sacramental_a unto_o those_o that_o sacramental_o receive_v they_o and_o be_v only_o fit_a for_o they_o whereas_o the_o unworthy_a receive_v they_o not_o as_o a_o sacrament_n christ_n deny_v unto_o they_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o so_o to_o they_o this_o eat_n and_o drink_v be_v no_o sacrament_n and_o that_o by_o their_o own_o default_n this_o consecration_n therefore_o do_v they_o no_o good_a at_o all_o but_o be_v the_o occasion_n that_o they_o eat_v and_o drink_v not_o a_o sacrament_n nor_o christ_n body_n 11.29_o 1._o cor._n 11.29_o and_o blood_n but_o judgement_n &_o condemnation_n as_o st._n paul_n denounce_v because_o they_o do_v not_o discern_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v they_o put_v no_o difference_n between_o ordinary_a bread_n and_o this_o consecrate_a bread_n which_o in_o the_o sacramental_a eat_n do_v spiritual_o exhibit_v the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o worthy_a receiver_n they_o make_v no_o other_o preparation_n for_o it_o then_o if_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v their_o common_a ordinary_a and_o mere_a corporal_a food_n so_o also_o if_o by_o any_o mischance_n in_o the_o time_n of_o communicate_v any_o unreasonable_a creature_n shall_v eat_v that_o consecrate_a bread_n it_o eat_v no_o other_o than_o mere_a bread_n inasmuch_o as_o christ_n do_v not_o afford_v his_o body_n with_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n but_o only_o unto_o those_o who_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o be_v make_v worthy_a of_o it_o or_o at_o least_o do_v not_o unworthylie_a approach_n unto_o it_o and_o because_o christ_n perform_v not_o this_o wonderful_a work_n of_o give_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v but_o only_a by_o occasion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o likewise_o the_o sacrament_n itself_o consist_v whole_o in_o the_o action_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v who_o see_v not_o that_o such_o consecrate_a bread_n while_o it_o be_v not_o employ_v in_o those_o action_n remain_v pure_a and_o ordinary_a bread_n for_o the_o consecrate_v of_o it_o serve_v only_o to_o make_v it_o sacramental_a bread_n &_o sure_o it_o be_v not_o sacramental_a otherwise_o then_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v eat_v sacramental_o in_o that_o spiritual_a banquet_n which_o then_o be_v in_o celebrate_v although_o the_o same_o shall_v continue_v many_o hour_n or_o there_o be_v some_o sick_a person_n to_o communicate_v of_o it_o who_o lie_v in_o their_o bed_n at_o

the_o error_n of_o those_o that_o term_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o most_o holy_a sacrament_n that_o consecrate_a bread_n which_o after_o the_o communion_n finish_v be_v keep_v in_o pyxes_n and_o cabinet_n where_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v eat_v by_o any_o but_o after_o certain_a day_n and_o week_n and_o month_n and_o perhaps_o not_o by_o man_n at_o all_o but_o by_o mouse_n or_o other_o
