To beleue in God the Father in God the sonne in god the holi gost thre persons and one God Fecken Is ther nothing els required in a Christian but to beleue in God Iane. Yes we must beleue in him we must loue hym with al our hart with al our soule and al our minde and our neyghbour as our selfe Fecken VVhy thē faith iustifieth not nor saueth not Iane. Yes verely saith as S. Paule saith only iustifieth Fec whi s Paul saith if I haue al faith without loue it is nothing Iane. True it is for how can I loue hym in whom I trust not Or howe can I trust in him whō I loue not faith and loue agreeth both together yet loue is comprehēded in faith Fecken Howe shall we loue our neyghbour Iane. To loue oure neyghbour is to feede the hungri clothe the naked and geue drinke to the thirsty and to do to hym as we wold do to our selues Feck why then it is necessary to saluation to do good workes and it it not sufficient to beleue Iane. I deny that and I affirme that faith only saueth But it is mete for Christiās in token that thei folow their master Christ to do good workes yet may we not say that thei profit to saluaciō For although we haue al don al that we cā yet we be vnprofitable seruauntes and the fayth onelye in Christes bloude saueth Fecken How many sacrameutes be there Iane. Two the one the sacrament of Baptisme the other the sacrament of our Lordes suppet Fecken No ther be vii Iane. By what scripture find you that Fecken well we will talke ther of hereafter But what is signifyed by your two sacramentes Ian. Bi the sacramēt of baptisme I am washed with water regenerated bi the spirit that washing is a tokē to me that I am the child of God The sacrament of the lordes supper is offred vnto me as a sure seale and testimoni that I am by the bloud of Christe whiche 〈◊〉 shedde for me on the crosse mad● partaket of the euerlasting kyngdome Feck why ▪ what do you receiue in that bread Do you not receiue the very body and bloude of Christ Iane. No surelye I do not beleue so I thinck that at that supper sireceiue neither flesh nor bloud but only bread wine The which breade when it is broken the wine whē it is dronke putteth me in minde how that for my sins the body of Christ was broken his bloud shed on the crosse and with that bread wine I receyue the benefites that cam bi breaking of his bodi bi the sheddyng of his bloud on the crosse for mi sins Feck why doth not Christ speake these wordes ▪ take eate this is my bod● Require we ani plainer wordes Doth not he say that it is hys body Iane. I graunt he saith so so he saieth I am the vine I am 〈…〉 but yet he is neuer the mote the vine nor do●e Doth not S. Paull say that he calleth those things that are not as though thei were God forbid that I shuld say that I eate the very natural bodi bloud of Christ for then eyther I shuld pluk awai my redētiō either els ther wer .ii. bodies or .ii. christs or els ii bodies the one body was tormented on the crosse then if thei did eate another body thē either he had ii bodies either els if his bodi wer eaten it was not broken vpō the crosse or els if it were broken vpon the crosse it was not eaten of his disciples Feck whi is it not as
