To another is given the working of Miracles to another divers kinde of Tongues c. by the same spirit Are all workers of Miracles Have all the gift of Tongues But this pretended Miracle of Transubstantiation is almost daily and perpetually wrought in all Churches throughout the world year after year and that by every ordinary Priest whatsoever good or bad holy or unholy as well as by St. Peter himself or the greatest Pope Patriarch Bishop Cardinal as they resolve Therefore it can be no miracle 3ly Every true Miracle wrought by Moses Aaron Elisha Christ or his Apostles was wrought for the confirmation of the truth of the Messages Doctrines or Articles of faith they were sent to deliver preach publish to work faith or belief thereof in the beholders of them by the very fight of the Miracles themselves which were collateral to their Messages Doctrines not the very Messages or Doctrines they delivered But this pretended Miracle of Transubstantiation being invisible and contrary to the verdict of mens senses confirms very few or none in any article of the Christian faith and if at any time visible by an extraordinary apparition of the Hostia in the form of a childe lamb raw flesh or blood it is g wrought only to confirm the belief of it self not of any other point or article of our Christian faith Therefore it is no Miracle Fifthly No ordinary part or Ingredient of any Sacrament in the Old or New Testament was ever a real or proper Miracle but only a mysterie or visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace represented in or by it Nor was ever any real Miracle a necessary part of a Sacrament But the miracle of Transubstantiation as they resolve is a necessary part ingredient of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper and soul of their Masse Therefore no real but forged Miracle Sixthly No real Miracle destroyed the use or end of that very thing for which it was wrought and of that sacred Ordinance to which it principally related but ratified and confirmed it Now this pretended Miracle of Transubstantiation when ever really or apparently wrought destroyes the end use of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper for which it was wrought and to which it appertains their Schoolmen Casuists Canonists and Legends generally resolving that when ever the consecrated Hostia or Wine appears to the Priest or Communicant in the form of a little child lamb raw flesh finger or blood it is a divine Inhibition to them not to eat drink or receive it as Christ commanded whiles it appears in such a form till it resumes the form or species of bread and wine which is very observable Therefore by their own resolutions it can be no miracle but a meer anti-Sacramental imposture repugnant to its eating drinking the very ends for which it was instituted Seventhly No true real Miracle did ever transform the very words nature of a benediction or consecration into a meer destructive annihilating execration of the things consecrated But this of Transubstantiation alters the very words of blessing consecration by which it is pretended to be wrought into a meer destructive annihilating execration of the very substances of the bread elements wine consecrated by their Priests contrary to all other forms of consecration whatsoever in the Old or New Testament and in the Church of Rome it self which never really transubstantiated much lesse annihilated the substances of the things or persons consecrated but only altered their common use to a sacred and thereby preserved yea priviledged their substances from any violence upon them For instance the consecrations of the Tabernacle Temple of all the utensils vessels belonging to them of Kings High Priests Priests Levites Prophets and their vestments as likewise of the First-born first-fruits Tithes oblations altars dayes to God by Gods appointment in the Old Testament Of Apostles Bishops Presbyters Ministers Deacons children by baptism under the New Of k Kings Queens Princes Popes Archbishops Bishops Priests Abbots Monks Nonnes or other Persons Of Churches Chapels Churchyards Altars Chalices Corporals Priests vestments Bells Holywater Holy-daies Chrisme Swords Banners Ashes Images Pixes Candles other particulars mentioned in their Roman Caeremonials Pontificals Rituals did do never change much lesse annihilate the matter substances of any of them but only their use yea the consecrations annexed to their substances which they exempt preserve from all violence

injury prophanations as sacred to which they were exposed before their consecrations as they all resolve and decree That therefore the very words of benediction consecration pronounced over the elements of the bread and wine in the Eucharist should not only transubstantiate but annihilate and destroy their very substances as some Romish Grandees assure us against the use scope end of all other consecrations whatsoever and metamorphose their very benediction into the greatest curse or execration worse then that Christ denounced against the barren Fig-tree which made it only to wither and dry up but did not quite annihilate it yea worse then the condemnation of the Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah which God turned into ashes but not into meer nothing inflicting on them the very judgement of the last day when the heavens shall passe away and the elements earth and works that are therein shall be burnt up and dissolved insteed of a benediction and exemption from violence is not so much miraculous as monstrous impossible incredible untheological Eighthly God and Christ never wrought a Miracle but to manifest or advance their glory divine adoration and destroy Idolatry John 2. 11. 1 Kings 18. 24. 24. 32. But this pretended Miracle serves only to introduce and advance a new kind of Idolatry in adoring the consecrated Host with divine adoration as if it were God himself when as it is in truth but a creature which is both material and formal Idolatry as sundry Protestant Divines and some Pontificians acknowledge Therefore it can be no Miracle Especially if in the Ninth place we consider the sandy foundation whereon this Miracle is built to wit on these 4. or 5. words pronounced over the Hostia by the Priest thus prescribed in the Canon of their Masse Hoc est enim corpus meum Which being at this day pronounced over the bread 1. Not by Christ himself in person as at first but only by the Priest who is but Christs Minister Representative at most The words This is my bodie c. pronounced by him must be false or the Priests body or can only produce a representation of Christs body as he is Christ but in representation 2ly Not uttered by Christ then or Priests now as words of consecration his benedicton of the bread and cup being precedent to them Mat. 26. 26 27. Mar. 14. 22 23 24. Lu. 22. 17 19. 1 Cor. 10. 16. c. 11. 23 24. 1 Tim. 4. 4 5. much lesse of operation or transubstantiation directed to the bread it self or wine to make them his very body and blood but only by way of excitation directed wholly to the Disciples and Communicants as a reason why they should receive it as the word Enim infallibly demonstrates which themselves in the Canon of the Masse annex to Hoc est enim corpus meum as Christ annexed it to hic est enim sanguis meus Novi Testamenti c. Mat. 26. 28. 3ly Because now used only as an historical commemoration or recitation rehearsing what Christ did and said when he first instituted this Sacrament and delivered it to his Disciples above 1600 years past as Lu. 22. 19. 1 Cor. 11. 24 25. their own Canon of the Masse and Micrologus c. 23. assure us by their Qui pridie quàm pateretur accepit panem in sanctas venerabiles manus suas c. deditque discipulis suis dicens Accipite c. Hoc est enim corpus meum c. Hoc quotiescunque feceritis in mei commemorationem facietis not as a thing now really acted over again by Christ when the Priest recites this Historie Which words used by way of historical commemoration of what Christ then did spake can no more in point of reason or experience actually transubstantiate the very bread and wine now consecrated by the Priest in memorial thereof then his reading or recital of the Historie of the Creation Gen. 1. or drowning of the old world building the Temple the several battels slaughters of men in the Old Testament or of Christs conception birth circumcision crucifixion burial resurrection and ascention in the New in the Church or at Masse can produce a new actual creation of the world or new Deluge Temple new Battles slaughters of the self-same or other men or a new real conception birth circumcision crucifixion burial resurrection ascention of Christ himself neither the reciting acting nor representing of any History past ever yet producing an actual real reacting of it in specie or individuo Therefore this historical rehearsing of what Christ did and spake when he instituted his Supper cannot possibly make every peece of bread drop of wine made consecrated above 1600 years after Christs passion his very natural body and blood born of the Virgin Mary erucified and shed upon the Crosse by way of adduction or production without any new addition thereunto or creation of a new body and blood which he had not before no not by a miracle or divine omnipotency 4ly The words then uttered by Christ admit he used the word est not usual in the Hebrew tongue which he then spake as some observe are not direct or positive This bread or wine is turned into or is become or is made my bodie and my blood used in all other real transubstantiations of one thing into another both in the Old and New Testament as Gen. 19. 26. Exod. 4. 4. c. 7. 10 17 18 20 21. c. 8. 16 17. John 2. 9. c. 1. 14. Rev. 16. 4. 6. Whence the Devil himself when he tempted our Saviour to work a transubstantiation of stones into bread used this expression Matth. 4. 3. Command these stones to be made bread But only as their Latin Translations render it Hoc est corpus meum which Verb ●●● est or is relating to the words Hoc and Hic and both of them only to the bread and cup which Christ took blessed brake and delivered to his Disciples as the Evangelists and St. Paul expresly resolve not to any Individuum vagum matcria prima or t planè nihil as some of their Seraphical Doctors absurdly determine it must of necessity be interpreted significatively commemoratively or sacramentally not identically since Disparata de disparatis non praedicantur identicè it being impossible that bread and wine creatures specifically distinct from Christs mystical body and blood should be identically his body and blood but only representatively commemoratively or sacramentally as some of their own Doctors confesse In which sense it is most usually taken throughout the Old and New Testaments in texts of like nature as Gen. 9. 17. c. 41. 26 27. Dan. 2. 38. Ezech. 5. 5. c. 37. 11. Mat. 11. 14. c. 13. 30. c. 8. 37. 1 Cor. 15. 4. Gal. 4. 25. Rev. 17. 9 12 15 18. More particularly Isay 40. 6.

D. besides other Docti religiosi probi viri Catholici of the Roman Church as Maldonet acknowledgeth as well as Luther Oecolampadius and other Protestants resolve that this Chapter Text was never intended of the eating of Christs body and blood in the Sacrament but only of our mystical or spiritual eating and drinking it by faith alone as these unanswerable arguments will evidence 1. Because these words were spoken by Christ near a year or more before the institution of the Lords Supper 2ly They were spoken to all the people and Capernaites who followed Christ only for the loaves John 6. 26 to 67 to whom he never administred the Sacrament not to his 12. disciples to whom only he administred it at his last Supper in private 3ly Because it speaks only of the eating of that bread and flesh of his which came down from heaven not of the Sacramental bread or wine of which there is not one syllable in this Chapter being not then instituted 4ly Of that eating and drinking which is only spiritual by faith not oral by the mouth or teeth and so St. Peter himself as well as Christ then expounded it v. 69. 5ly Of such an eating Christs flesh and drinking his blood without which none can have spiritual or eternal life Therefore not of a Sacramental eating else all infants and others who die before they receive the Sacrament must necessarily be damned which the Church of Rome as well as Protestants contradict 6ly Of such an eating and drinking only which gives eternal life to all who eat Christs flesh and drink his bloud which the Sacramental eating doth not for all unworthy communicants eat and drink damnation to themselves 1 Cor. 11. 23 24. 7ly Of such an eating his flesh and drinking his blood as their dwelling is in Christ and Christ in them John 6. 56. but that dwelling is only spiritual or mystical by faith alone not by eating swallowing bodily inhabitation union or commixture with the bodies of the Communicants as many Romanists in odium haereticorum assert by Suarez his confession 2ly Admit this Text meant of the Sacramental eating Christs flesh drinking his blood it proves only a quite contrary transubstantiation to that the Romanists assert to wit of the flesh of Christ into meat or bread indeed of his blood into drink or wine indeed not of bread into his flesh indeed as the words infallibly attest 3ly It utterly subverts their half-communion and depriving Lay-communicants totally of drinking Christs blood by taking from them the sacred Wine Cup here severed from their eating his flesh in the consecrated bread as not only sacrilegious but damnable since none by the express Letter of the objected Text can have any everlasting life or dwell in Christ and Christ in them unless they drink his blood as well as eat his flesh being here thrice coupled together with the conjunction and yea ratified with this double asseveration of Christ himself who is the truth Verily Verily I say unto you So as they must now either renounce their half communion or this abused Text and their Doctrine of Transu●●●a●●iation founded thereon Which as it subverts St. Peters and their Popes usurped Universal Ecclesiastical and Temporal Monarchy Vicarship and as it is wholly inconsistent with it or their Ladies Queens Empresse Goddesse Maries Soveraignty or the antient undoubted Ecclesiastical and Temporal Rights of all Christian Kings so particularly of our Kings of England and Ireland whose Papal usurpations on their Crownes were the original occasion of many horrid Conspiracies Insurrections Rebellions Treasons Wars Attempts against their sacred Persons Prerogatives Subjects Liberties Properties in former ages as the ensuing Exact Chronological Vindication c. will at large demonstrate during the Reigns of King John and Henry the 3d. to which I shall now apply my self having been more large in this Introduction to it to help fill up the vacant Pages left for the second Book which I originally designed to have annexed thereunto but amounting to an intire Tome of it self was necessitated to sever from it THE SECOND TOME AND THIRD BOOKE The Prologue I Am now through Divine assistance arrived at the Second TOME and Principally intended part of An Exact Chronological and Historical Demonstration of our British Roman Saxon Danish Norman English Kings Supream Ecclesiastical Iurisdiction over all Prelates Persons Causes within their Kingdomes and the Popes and Popish Prelates intollerable Usurpations on Oppositions against the same beginning with the Tempestuous Reign of our Unfortunate King John when the Antientest Charter Clause Fine Liberate Patent and other Rolls yet extant in the Treasury of the Tower of London begin the Jawes of All-devouring Time having totally consumed all precedent Rolls of this nature during his Predecessors Regins except some Antient Charters and other Fragments of Records never reduced into Rolls In this Kings Reign we meet with

the Kings great enormous disinheriting he sent his Proctor to him to plead his right and prohibited his Delegates upon their allegiance not to attempt any thing to his or his Clerks prejudice under pain of seising their Baronies 725 726. His detestable infamous avarice symony usuries abuse of Croysadoes and promoting them by Freers which scandals rendred him and his Papelins odious and made the devotion of many to wax cold 728 729. His infamous Priviledge to the Bishop of Norwich to extort monies and mouse-traps to catch such who took up the Crosse 729. His grant of a Croysado to the French King upon condition to give him power afterwards to extort as much thence against the Emperor Frederick the horrid crying extortions used therein Gods curse upon those rapines by the total overthrow of the French Army and taking their King Captive by the Saracens which caused many Christians to apostatize utter blasphemies and almost ruined France 733 734. The Kings Prohibition to put a Dean into St. Carantoc by his Provision belonging to his presentation by the vacancy of the Bishoprick of Exon 736. The Templars and others appeals to him against Bishop Grosthead who by money given to the Pope purchased his favour and exemption from the Bishop to his shame who cryed out thereupon O money money how potent art thou in the Court of Rome the Popes indignation thereupon 737 740. His Letters to Grosthead upon the Kings complaint to absolve the Kings Sheriff and Officers from an Excommunication against them for executing the Kings Writs 738. He favoured Archbishop Boniface in his rapines and oppressions 740 741. His new Decretal concerning Archbishops and Bishops Visitations Procurations against exactions Visitation Oaths and coactions by which Archbishop Boniface intended to visit his Province 743 744. His Letters for nulling and reversing the Archbishops sentence of Excommunication against the Chapter of Pauls and Bishop of London upon an appeal against it 745 746. His detestable Provision to a Bastard and illiterate Foreigner against right and piety to the Church of Westele decreeing all acts attempted against it voyd to put his Proctor into and keep him in possession of it removing all others excommunicating all opposers without any appeal 746. His request to King H. 3. to remove to Burdeaux and from thence to passe into England to fleece corrupt it in person worse then his Usurers or Nuncioes He for money hindred those who had taken the Crosse to ayd the French King absolved them from their peregrination sold them to Earl Richard and other Nobles as the Jews used to sell Oxen and Doves in the Temple whereat the English were highly offended with him 746 747. Archbishop Boniface goes to his Court in person to fortifie himself against his Suffragans and their Appeals by his Papal authority he and the Court of Rome being shaken like a reed with winds hither and thither by money intervening 747 748. His provision to and vexation of the Abbot of St. Albans 842 843 844 846 847. He courtenanced the Bishop of Winton against the King for which he obliged his Bishoprick to him in unestimable debts 748. He confirms E●b●lmar though unfit in the Bishoprick of Winton for money gifts licensing him and other Bishops for money to retain all their former benefices rents promotions together with their Bishopricks 749 750 751 752. He preferred by Provisions any unfit scandalous illiterate persons covetous Romans and others contemners of souls to Bishopricks benefices for money for which he was by Gods justice deservedly expelled from Rome forced like Cain to wander from place to place he trampled England more vilely under his feet where Religion most flourished oppressed spoyled it more then any other Nation when no English men had any preferment in Italy or other Realms whence they prayed the God of vengeance to whet his sword against him and his Nuncioes provisions and make it drunk in their blood 750. He oppressed the Church of God more then all his predecessors not considering the scourge of God upon him 753.

He induced Peter de Vinea by great bribes promises to poyson destroy the Emperor Frederick who most confided in and imployed him his exclamation against the Pope for his treachery and persecutions at his death 754 755. By Pope Innocent 3 Gregory 9. and his Excommunications Wars persecutions depositions of the Emperors Otho and Frederick the Imperial Soveraignty withered away 753. His implacable malice to the Emperor 755. His exemption of the Kings Houshold Clerks from payment of First-fruits granted by him to Archbishop Boniface 758. His Non-obstantes made presidents for King Henry to avoyd his Charters 760. The more potent he was the more grievous to oppresse 761. His Papal Balls Provisions frequently contradicted by Bishop Grosthead who said he should Satanize if he obeyed them 762. He summoned the Dean and Chapter of Pauls to appear before him at Archbishop Boniface his suit from whose sentence he had absolved them 762. The Abbot of Westminster his Chaplain attends long in his Court bound in great debts for him to quell the Monks who were backed by the King whose foundation it was 763 764. Prelates and Religious persons reduced to extreme servitude by him all their former priviledges subverted by his detestable Non-obstantes 765. His strange Provision of Foreigners to St. Albans he became a stepfather and the Church of Rome a step-mother to England alienating their hearts from them by intollerable contempts injuries oppressions persecutions 765. He granted King H. 3. a Disme for three years towards his voyage to the Holy Land only to spoyle well-affected Christians of their monies by this pretext which the Prelates oppose 766 767 768 770 771 772 773 774.
