their_o mouth_n do_v crash_n and_o crush_v between_o their_o tooth_n the_o very_a natural_a body_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o upon_o this_o doctrine_n they_o conclude_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o

so_o much_o that_o the_o outward_a sign_n be_v to_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v which_o be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a be_v to_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o mind_n

the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o thing_n signify_v the_o which_o we_o comprehend_v and_o receive_v by_o the_o mind_n as_o true_a spiritual_a food_n ordain_v to_o feed_v the_o soul_n and_o not_o the_o body_n now_o to_o receive_v and_o eat_v this_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o to_o cause_v it_o so_o to_o digest_v in_o our_o soul_n which_o be_v spirit_n as_o it_o may_v

that_o the_o lay_v people_n that_o be_v to_o say_v those_o which_o be_v no_o priest_n ought_v not_o to_o communicate_v but_o only_o with_o the_o sacrament_n of_o bread_n and_o that_o the_o priest_n as_o be_v more_o worthy_a ought_v to_o communicate_v both_o with_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o yet_o lest_o the_o lay_v people_n shall_v be_v difcontent_v with_o this_o partage_n they_o say_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o without_o blood_n but_o that_o the_o blood_n do_v always_o accompany_v the_o body_n and_o that_o so_o by_o consoquence_n the_o lie_v people_n in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n receive_v also_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o blood_n they_o hold_v opinion_n also_o that_o the_o priest_n ought_v to_o receive_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n every_o day_n and_o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o lie_v people_n to_o receive_v it_o once_o a_o year_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o sufferable_a that_o they_o shall_v touch_v the_o sacrament_n with_o their_o bare_a hand_n but_o the_o protestant_n do_v in_o no_o wise_n allow_v such_o part_n of_o it_o nor_o yet_o their_o fond_a shift_n of_o consequency_n but_o hold_v opinion_n that_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n as_o well_o of_o the_o blood_n as_o of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n ought_v to_o be_v distribute_v unto_o all_o the_o faithful_a without_o any_o distinction_n of_o lay_a people_n or_o priest_n because_o that_o otherwise_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v not_o be_v celebrate_v whole_a but_o by_o halfedeale_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o necessary_a to_o receive_v it_o as_o often_o as_o they_o may_v that_o man_n may_v be_v the_o often_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o the_o excellent_a mystery_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o heavenly_a food_n which_o give_v everlasting_a life_n to_o our_o soul_n likewise_o they_o say_v that_o in_o asmuch_o as_o christ_n say_v take_v you_o which_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o hand_n and_o eat_v you_o which_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o mouth_n the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n with_o their_o own_o hand_n 33_o as_o witness_v eusebius_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o the_o doctrine_n aswell_o of_o the_o protestant_n as_o of_o the_o catholic_n be_v concern_v these_o three_o point_n of_o the_o supper_n of_o our_o lord_n which_o be_v in_o controversy_n amongst_o they_o transubstatiation_n and_o now_o may_v a_o man_n easy_o judge_v by_o compare_v the_o one_o doctrine_n with_o the_o other_o which_o of_o they_o do_v best_o yield_v god_n his_o due_a honour_n for_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v change_v or_o transubstantiate_v as_o the_o catholic_n term_v it_o into_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o shall_v follow_v by_o their_o doctrine_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v every_o day_n down_o from_o heaven_n to_o be_v handle_v and_o eat_v of_o a_o million_o of_o priest_n and_o to_o be_v bruise_v and_o crush_v betwixt_o their_o tooth_n yea_o and_o that_o he_o may_v also_o be_v eat_v of_o mouse_n and_o gnaw_v with_o worm_n which_o be_v thing_n to_o much_o against_o reason_n and_o too_o too_o intolerable_a to_o be_v hear_v for_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o unbeseeming_a the_o majesty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o be_v so_o common_o convey_v through_o the_o hand_n mouth_n and_o belly_n of_o so_o many_o priest_n full_a often_o foul_a and_o filthy_a both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o that_o his_o precious_a body_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o be_v eat_v of_o mouse_n and_o gnaw_v with_o worm_n and_o therefore_o the_o protestant_n do_v best_a yield_v christ_n his_o due_a honour_n for_o that_o they_o uphold_v that_o his_o body_n be_v go_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o there_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n and_o that_o from_o thence_o he_o neither_o do_v nor_o will_v remove_v until_o the_o last_o day_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v both_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o that_o our_o worship_v of_o he_o must_v be_v in_o heaven_n and_o we_o must_v lift_v up_o our_o heart_n on_o high_a and_o not_o worship_v he_o in_o the_o priest_n hand_n or_o in_o the_o pix_n likewise_o they_o much_o more_o honour_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n than_o do_v the_o catholic_n because_o they_o do_v so_o often_o celebrate_v the_o same_o &_o that_o not_o by_o half_n deal_v but_o whole_o utter_o abhor_v the_o bruise_n and_o crush_a of_o the_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o our_o saviour_n betwixt_o their_o tooth_n as_o a_o doctrine_n more_o meet_a for_o the_o barbarous_a people_n of_o america_n and_o the_o cannibal_n than_o for_o christian_n neither_o will_v they_o say_v they_o believe_v the_o contrary_a of_o that_o which_o natural_a sense_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o

be_v ground_v upon_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god._n but_o now_o as_o touch_v the_o canon_n the_o catholic_n think_v they_o make_v altogether_o for_o they_o and_o for_o the_o uphold_v &_o maintain_v of_o their_o transubstantiation_n as_o in_o deed_n there_o be_v of_o they_o which_o do_v and_o chief_o the_o canon_n before_o allege_v which_o be_v a_o abjuration_n that_o pope_n nicolas_n cause_v

and_o that_o the_o priest_n in_o put_v the_o sacrament_n into_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o faithful_a do_v sensible_o handle_v christ_n very_a body_n itself_o and_o that_o the_o faithful_a do_v crowze_v

thereof_o avail_v nothing_o at_o all_o afterward_o he_o conclude_v thus_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v still_o above_o until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n his_o

here_o be_v a_o other_o canon_n take_v also_o out_o of_o s._n augustine_n which_o say_v thus_o 2._o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v thou_o prepare_v thy_o tooth_n and_o thy_o belly_n believe_v and_o thou_o

of_o the_o catechism_n that_o be_v to_o say_v such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v but_o new_o enter_v into_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o be_v not_o yet_o baptize_v do_v suffer_v martyrdom_n for_o

such_o as_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n have_v not_o want_v it_o through_o pride_n or_o disdain_n but_o through_o enforcement_n of_o necessity_n in_o likewise_o it_o be_v

therefore_o exclude_v from_o salvation_n it_o follow_v well_o that_o no_o necessity_n can_v be_v great_a enough_o to_o dispense_v with_o woman_n for_o intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o true_o in_o old_a time_n 4._o as_o the_o canon_n do_v witness_n baptism_n be_v not_o minister_v ordinary_o but_o only_o at_o two_o time_n in_o the_o year_n namely_o at_o easter_n and_o at_o whittesontyde_n which_o well_o bewray_v that_o they_o use_v no_o such_o haste_n as_o that_o woman_n shall_v be_v fain_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o matter_n 4._o likewise_o it_o do_v also_o appear_v by_o the_o canon_n that_o baptism_n be_v not_o minister_v to_o the_o infidel_n but_o only_o to_o such_o as_o have_v faith_n and_o do_v make_v confession_n thereof_o when_o they_o be_v of_o age_n to_o do_v it_o and_o as_o touch_v the_o forementioned_a ceremony_n in_o deed_n there_o be_v some_o canon_n how_o be_v it_o of_o the_o worst_a stamp_n which_o do_v allow_v they_o but_o the_o best_a and_o most_o ancient_a canon_n do_v utter_o dissallow_v they_o for_o by_o the_o ancient_a canon_n man_n be_v permit_v to_o baptise_v in_o river_n in_o the_o

than_o upon_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n 4._o for_o it_o say_v thus_o the_o true_a baptism_n do_v not_o consist_v so_o much_o in_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o body_n as_o in_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o the_o apostolic_a doctrine_n do_v teach_v we_o say_v they_o make_v clean_o their_o heart_n through_o faith_n and_o in_o a_o other_o canon_n go_v before_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o

and_o not_o to_o set_v our_o mind_n upon_o a_o sort_n of_o superstitious_a and_o vain_a ceremony_n as_o the_o romish_a catholic_n do_v in_o these_o day_n for_o they_o may_v easy_o perceive_v by_o the_o thing_n aforesaid_a that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n touch_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v better_a more_o ancient_a &_o further_a from_o heresy_n than_o they_o be_v according_a to_o our_o three_o maxim_n here_o before_o set_v down_o to_o prove_v the_o point_n which_o be_v in_o question_n let_v we_o now_o speak_v of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n ❧_o of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o holy_a supper_n the_o seven_o chapter_n the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o romish_a catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n concern_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v consist_v in_o three_o point_n the_o one_o in_o the_o name_n thereof_o for_o the_o catholic_n call_v that_o the_o keep_n of_o easter_n which_o the_o protestant_n do_v name_n the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o this_o diversity_n of_o speak_v import_v not_o much_o for_o both_o of_o they_o be_v still_o a_o celebrate_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o redemption_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o catholic_n use_v the_o manner_n of_o speak_v of_o the_o old_a testament_n according_a to_o the_o phrase_n whereof_o the_o feast_n of_o easter_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o passover_n be_v celebrate_v by_o the_o eat_n of_o a_o lamb_n which_o do_v represent_v christ_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n who_o god_n have_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o thraldom_n of_o egypt_n but_o the_o protestant_n use_v the_o manner_n of_o speak_v of_o the_o new_a testament_n whereby_o the_o holy_a institution_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n ordain_v to_o celebrate_v the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n and_o to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v call_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o we_o must_v not_o strive_v about_o word_n so_o it_o be_v know_v that_o to_o keep_v the_o easter_n and_o to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n be_v at_o this_o day_n oneself_o same_o thing_n the_o second_o difference_n which_o be_v much_o great_a consist_v in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o the_o catholic_n at_o leastwise_o the_o schoolman_n uphold_v that_o assoon_o as_o the_o priest_n have_v speak_v the_o word_n of_o consecration_n over_o one_o host_n or_o over_o many_o they_o change_v their_o nature_n present_o and_o be_v transubstantiate_v into_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o selfsame_o greatness_n &_o bigness_n that_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n so_o as_o the_o bread_n of_o the_o host_n be_v they_o no_o long_o bread_n although_o the_o colour_n and_o the_o taste_n of_o bread_n remain_v still_o therein_o their_o proof_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v institute_v his_o supper_n as_o he_o give_v the_o bread_n to_o his_o disciple_n he_o say_v unto_o they_o this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o in_o give_v they_o the_o cup_n he_o say_v unto_o they_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n they_o prove_v it_o also_o by_o a_o canon_n 2_o which_o begin_v thus_o i_o beringarius_n etc_n etc_n which_o canon_n say_v in_o express_a word_n that_o after_o the_o consecration_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n become_v not_o only_a sacrament_n but_o also_o the_o very_a body_n and_o the_o very_a blow_fw-mi ud_fw-mi of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o priest_n do_v sensible_o handle_v the_o same_o very_a body_n and_o break_v it_o and_o that_o the_o faithful_a in_o eat_v the_o sacrament_n with_o
eye_n and_o taste_v with_o our_o mouth_n to_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n shall_v be_v flesh_n and_o blood_n no_o nor_o that_o neither_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n namely_o that_o accident_n shall_v have_v a_o abide_v without_o a_o substance_n fit_n and_o convenient_a for_o they_o to_o be_v in_o or_o that_o a_o natural_a body_n of_o a_o man_n may_v be_v enclose_v in_o so_o small_a room_n as_o the_o bigness_n or_o roundness_n of_o a_o host_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n and_o if_o the_o catholic_n reply_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a and_o able_a to_o do_v these_o thing_n the_o protestant_n do_v answer_v that_o doubtless_o he_o be_v of_o power_n to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o list_v in_o so_o much_o that_o because_o god_n will_v neither_o sin_n nor_o lie_v we_o say_v he_o can_v neither_o lie_v nor_o sin_n but_o our_o lord_n mean_v so_o little_a that_o his_o body_n after_o his_o glorification_n shall_v receive_v unnatural_a quality_n that_o clean_o contrariwise_o he_o will_v have_v his_o apostle_n to_o judge_v by_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o sight_n and_o feeling_n that_o his_o body_n be_v a_o true_a and_o perfect_a natural_a

be_v which_o depend_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o the_o sacrament_n or_o any_o other_o of_o the_o

also_o do_v well_o geve_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o believe_v that_o his_o body_n after_o his_o ascension_n shall_v every_o day_n return_v hither_o on_o the_o earth_n nor_o remain_v shut_v up_o in_o box_n when_o he_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n which_o find_v themselves_o grieve_v at_o the_o shed_n of_o a_o little_a ointment_n upon_o his_o body_n 26.11_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v i_o always_o with_o you_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o grace_n he_o will_v always_o be_v with_o we_o as_o he_o declare_v

as_o the_o scripture_n do_v witness_v 4.17_o in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o have_v ever_o have_v and_o still_o have_v at_o this_o present_a a_o certain_a measure_n of_o greatness_n and_o thickness_n as_o the_o body_n of_o other_o man_n have_v whereupon_o it_o follow_v of_o consequence_n that_o his_o body_n neither_o be_v nor_o ever_o have_v be_v in_o any_o more_o place_n than_o one_o at_o one_o

and_o if_o they_o reply_v that_o a_o glorify_a body_n may_v be_v in_o many_o place_n at_o one_o instant_a the_o answer_n thereunto_o be_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o they_o glorify_v
