or else we shall never come by the true meaning The literall sense is that which the words beare eyther properly or figuratively therefore he sayd well who sayd bonus grammaticus bonus theologus for we can never come to the true meaning and sense unlesse the words be unfolded A figurative literall sense is eyther in verbis vel in rebus eyther in the words or in the matter In verbis in the words as Luk. 13.32 Herod is a Foxe Psal 22.12 The princes of Israel are Buls of Basan in these words there is but one sense So Let the dead bury the dead Luk 9.50 Dead in soule bury the dead in body here is but one sense but where the words in one sentence have diverse significations then they make up divers senses as judge not that yee be not judged Iudicium libertatis Iudicium potesta●is Mat. 7.1 the first is judicium libertatis the second is judicium potestatis When we search to finde out the literall sense of the Scripture that cannot be the literall sense of it which is contrary to the analogie of faith which is eyther in credendis or in faciendis If it be contrary to the articles of our faith or any of the commandements then that cannot be the literall sens● as Rom. 12.20 If thine enemy be hungry give him meate if he thirst give him drinke for in so doing thou shalt heape coales of fire upon his head Here to feede the enemy and to give him drinke are to be taken literally because they are commanded in the sixt Commandement but to heape coales of fire upon his head must be taken figuratively because according to the letter it is contrary to the sixt Commandement Example 2. Matth. 5.29 If thy right eye offend thee plucke it out and cast it from thee Here the words are not to be taken literally for this were contrary to the sixt Commandement but figuratively So this is my body is not to be taken literally for it is contrary to the analogie of faith because the heavens must containe the bodie of Christ untill he come againe Act. 3.21 The second is figurative in rebus as in the Sacrament of the Supper when he sate with his Disciples he sayd This is my body he pointeth at the thing present and understandeth the thing that is not present he had the bread and cup in his hand and he sayd This is my body This is my blood In these propositions there is the subject and the attribute the subject is the bread and wine which he doth demonstrate the attribute is that which is signified by the bread and wine and these two make up but one sense propius remotius when Peter had made a confession that Christ was the Sonne of the living God Matth. 16. Christ to confirme this unto him and to the rest of the Disciples saith Tu es Petrus Similie super hanc petram c. he pointeth at Peter but he understandeth himselfe upon whom the Church is built and not Peter When a man looketh upon a picture he saith this picture is my father here he understandeth two things propius remetius to wit the picture it selfe and his father represented by the picture this picture at which hee pointeth is not his father properly but onely it representeth his father Object But some will object when it is sayd Hic est sanguis meus that the article hic agreeth with Sanguis and not with Vinum therefore it may seeme that it is his blood indeed and not wine that he pointeth at Answ This cannot be for in the former proposition when he sayd hoc est corpus meum he should have sayd hic est corpus meum because it repeateth the word panis as it is more cleare in the Greeke therefore the article hic hath relation to some other thing than to the bread at which he pointeth for the article 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 repeateth not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the bread or the wine but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 his body and his blood When Moyses sayd Exod. 24.8 Behold the blood of the Covenant here the word blood is properly to be understood because their covenants were confirmed with blood and there was no sacrifice without blood But when Christ sayd This is my blood of the New Testament there was no blood in the Cup here but he had relation to his owne blood which was signified by the wine in the Cup. Quest When Christ saith This is my body This is my blood how was he present with the bread and the wine there A thing is sayd to be present foure manner of wayes Answ first 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 secondly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 thirdly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and fourthly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 First 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when a man is bodily present Secondly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as when a man is present by his picture Thirdly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the sunne is present by operation in heating and nourishing things below here Fourthly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when we apprehend a thing in our mind Christ when he sayd this is my body and this is my blood he was present there 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but he was not in the bread and the wine 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for then his blood should have beene there before it was shed then hee should have had two bodies one visible and another invisible but he was present there in the bread and the wine 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 because the bread and the wine represented his body and his blood So hee was present there 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by his Spirit working in their hearts and he was present to them by faith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when they did spiritually eate his body and drinke his blood and this is the true and literall sense of the words Which is the literall sense in those words Quest Hoc facite in mei recordationem doe this in remembrance of me Although there bee many things implyed in these words Answ both upon the part of the Minister and upon the part of the People yet they make up but one sense as upon the part of the Minister Take this bread blesse this bread breake it and give it to the people And upon the part of the people take this bread eate this bread c. yet all these looke but to one thing that is to the remembrance of Christs death and therefore the externall action bringeth to minde the internall action the remembrance of Christs death so that in these words there is but one sense Testimonies of the old Testament cited in the New make but one sense When the testimonies of the old Testament are cited in the new the Spirit of God intendeth propinquius remotius something nearer and something farther off yet these two make not up two divers senses
