Corin. 6. ¶ We as helpers therfore exhorte you / that ye receaue not the grace of God in vayne ¶ Imprynted at Strasburgh in Elsas / at the signe of the goldē Bibell / In the moneth of Auguste the yeare of our LORD 1554. The grace ād fauour of God / our heauenly father / pourchased vnto vs / by the blody death of Christ our Sauiour / befelte and encreased in all your consciences / too your euerlasting consolation THe violēce of this age dothe not suffer me / my most louinge brethren / to come as I wolde do vnto you / and by talke brotherly cōferringe / to putte you in mynde of the Gospel of Iesus Christe / which amongeste woothers farre more worthie / euen I by Gods grace preached amōg you I therfore haue thought nedeful by these letters / now to do thesame / nowe I saye / when thoughe the peruerse frowardnes of men / the trew preaching of Christes Gospel is bannished and mans doctrine is taughte with lyes fables And thoughe some perchaunce will thinke that thys longeth not to me / but too hym that is youre Pastore to doo / yet for as muche as once I was your pastore / I cā not but testefye / that some pece of pastorall cure dothe yet reste in my harte towardes you The whiche in dede dothe muche perswade me / as the presente necessitie also semeth no les to require / to make a longe a large treatise / by whiche ye mighte haue an whole armour againste all the assaultes off false Prophetes But whē I consider / how truly / and that with much diligēce ye haue ben taughte / and therewith thinkinge / that ye are not forgetfull hearers of the worde / I thinke that amonge you it shall suffice / if I do but name those greatest euelles / whiche nowe are poured forthe out of pulpittes amonge you / and therewith put you in mynd of the truthe / contrary to these lyes / which once you both herde and recyeued / desiring you to abide in the same This will I do shortly / as I haue but littell / and thesame vnapte tyme to do it / yet truly I trust to do it / as let Gods worde therein trye it If first ye will suffer me to tell you / that throughe these fals Prophetes / the castell of youre healthe / the saluacion of your soules is assalted / whome if ye suffer too be with you if ye yelde vp your selfes to the beleuinge folowing of their doctrine / then knowe ye that as by blynde lears ye be ledde / so you wyth them then beynge blynded / Math. 15. shal wyth them fall in to the pitte of pardiciō / which is prepared aswell for the falsely seduced / as for the false seducer Of thys I coulde be content to speake the lesse / but that I se that whylest of to many / and that Londyners / these beastes befolowed Ye haue euen drawen and pulled vpon your heades those abhominacions / whiche if but reason had ruled / shoulde not haue bene admitted before that by lawes they had ben thrust vnto you / that I speake not / what trew Christianitie shoulde haue moued you too haue done Oh London / London / An exclamation vpō London is this the Gospelling fruicte / to be the firste / that withoute a lawe shouldest bannish trew preaching out of the / too be the fyrste that againste lawes shalt admitte that massinge Idolatrie / to be the firste that shall geue the example of stōbling to all Englande / whych shouldest yet haue bene the fyrst in constancy / in humble / sayeng for the continuinge of the truthe in the / in quiet and paciente suffringe for the truths sake euen deathe / if by the rulers it had bene offered the. That grounde arte thou / whyche not in persecucion / but before persecuciō commeth dost go backe / a groūd thou arte reserued for the Lordes wofull cures / to whose iudgement London I leue the. Seing in Lōdō these euels are receiued / as it is nowe meete for vigilante Pastors too watche ouer their flocke / to chase the wolf awaye / les at the Lordes hande they doo heare the name of hierlinges / Ioan. 10 so nowe is it hygh tyme for you my louinge brethrē / and all them that he the chyldrē of God / to take heede whose voyce ye do heare / too beware of the leauen of papisticall Phariseis / and to kepe your selfes vndefiled from all their abhominacions The errour of transsubstantiation The greatest of whiche now I will resite amonges all their abhominacions / one of the principall is their doctrine of transsubstanciatiō / the very pryde of papistrie / and the horrible offence / euen of the Turckes and Heathen That a popish priest / by his hussing and bussinge / and mumblinge vp of the woordes of Christe / more lyke a Coniuror then a Christian / shoulde worke that miraculous alteracion and chaunginge of the substaunce of breade and wyne / into the substaunce of the bodye and bloude of Christe / whiche then is to be taken / as Christ hym selfe God and man / so to be adored But you knowe my dere brethren / that there is no suche miracle too be beleued without the certayne doctrine of Gods worde to warant thesame / which the papistes can neuer showe / therfore their miracle is not to be beleued / Christ in Instituting the Supper / mēt not to leaue there hys body and bloud really and substancially as the papistes do teache For Christe in the substaunce of hys body / was then to be crucified / he was to dye / he was to ryse agayn / he was to ascende / and he was / and in thesame yet now is / to appeare before the glorious God / our Bishop / aduocate / mediator / there so to remayne vntill the laste daye / as the schriptures do teache In the Supper he instituted a commemoration of the breaking of hys body / and sheddinge of hys bloud / to be done and made of them that do eate that breade / and drynke of that cuppe / accordinge to hys institution which he called his body and bloude / for that it is to the receauers a seale and confirmacion of Christes body brokē / and Christes bloud shedde for them / that the profite and commoditie thereof is theirs / whiche there do partake by fayth And so these woordes This is my body and this is my bloud are to be vnderstand / and not as the transsubstāciators / literally enforce them For their vnderstanding / them is bothe cōtrary to Christus meaninge / and also to the office of hys body / besydes that it is agaynst the nature of hys very body And that thesame
