in the deserte by a spiritual meate an inuisyble drinke dyd eate hys body drynke hys bloude As the apostell wytnesseth sayeng our fathers haue eaten the same spirituall meate dronken the same spirituall drinke here we cannot know by reason how this thinge was done Yet to the doynges fayth must be adhibited for it is he truly whych by hys omnipotente vertue turneth the breade the wyne spiritually into hys flesshe hys bloude also whyche at the tyme made inuycyble the manna that was gyuen from heaueÌ„ hys body the water powred out of the rocke his blode The which Dauid perceyuinge dyd protest in the holy goost sayenge man hath eaten the breade of angels It ware a fond thynge to suppose that thys corporall manna geuen to oure fathers fedeth the heuenly hoost of angels or that they do eate any suche meate which be rether fedde wyth the dayntyes of goddes worde The psalmyst declarâ—th playne or the holye goost rather speaketh in the psalmyste both what our fathers receyued in that heaueÌ„ly manna and what the faythfull ought to beleue in the mysterie of the body blode of christ in the both truly christ is signifyed whych is not only the meate of angels but also fedeth the soules of the faytfull And neyther of these happen in corporall tast or feadyng but in the vertue of the spirituall worde The euaÌ„geliste teachet that Iesus christe before he suffred toke breade gaue thaÌ„kes distributed it to his apostles sayeng thys is my body whych shal be geueÌ„ for you do this in my remembraunce Lykewyse he toke the cup after he had supt sayeng thys is the newe testameÌ„t in my bloude which shal be shed for you We se that christ dyd worke the mistery of his body blode before he suffered We dought not but euery faythfyll man beleueth that the breade was made the bodye of christe whych he gaue to hys disciples sayeng thys is my body that is geueÌ„ for you And also that the cuppe dyd coÌ„teyne the bloude of christ whereof he sayeth thys cuppe is the newe testament in my bloude that shal be shedde for you Therfore as he coulde turne the substance of breade and the creature of wyne into hys proper body before he dyed So coulde he in the deserte turne the manna and the water of the rocke into hys flesshe bloude not wythstandinge that his fleshe was hanged on the crosse for vs. And hys bloude shed for vs longe after heare also we ought to consyder what is ment by thes wordes excepts you shall eate the flesshe of the sonne of maÌ„ drynke hys bloude you shall not haue lyfe in you He sayde not that hys flesshe whych hanged on the crosse shulde be eateÌ„ in pecys eaten of the Apostles nor that hys blode whych he shedde for the redeÌ„ptioÌ„ of the world sholde be gyueÌ„ hys disciples to drinke for it ware a wycked thing yf hys fleshe shuld be eateÌ„ or his bloud dronkeÌ„ as the infydelles toke it Therfore he sayd to his disciples takyng the wordes of christ not vnfaythfully yt scarcely perceyuing how the same was to be vnderstand thes doughtes offeÌ„de Therfore yf you shall se the sonne of maÌ„ ascendynge thether where as he was before As though he shulde saye you maye not thynke my fleshe to be eateÌ„ of you corporally or my bloude to be drouken of you corporally neyther that my flshe shal be deuyded into pecys for asmuch as after my resurrectioÌ„ ye shal se me affende into heaueÌ„ wyth the fulnes of my holy body blode theÌ„ ye shal wel perceyue that my fleshe is not to be eateÌ„ of thos that beleue as the infydels thynke but that the bread the wyne chaunged by a mysterye into the substance of my body bloude is to be receyued of the faythfull he sayeth also coÌ„sequeÌ„tly The sperite is he that quickeneth the flesh profyteth nothing after eny such sorte as the vnfaythfull vnderstande other wyse it gyueth lyfe as the faythfull take it by a mysterye And therfore he sayeth the sperite is he that quickeneth So in this mysterye of the body bloude of Christe here is a spirituall operacion geuyng lyfe wyth uâ—e the whych operacion the mysteryes be vnprofyatable for well maye they fede the bodye but the soule they cannot Here springeth a questioÌ„ â—â—e whych proposed some saye that thos thynges be done in verite not in mysterye wherin they shewe them selues playnâ—lye to repungue agaynst the wrytynges of the holye fathers Saynte Austen the doctour of the churche in the thyrde of hys boke de doctrina christâ—ana wryteth thus Excepte you eate sayeth our sauyour the fleshe of the sonne of man drynke hys bloude you shal haue no lyfe in you He semyth to commaund a wycked thyng therfore it is a fygure coÌ„mandyng vs to be coÌ„municators of hys passion surelye also profytable to peruerte in our memories that his fleshe was â—oÌ„dyd crucifyed for our sakes Thus saynt Austen affyrmâ—th the mysterye of the body and bloud of christ to be celebrate of the faythfull vnder a fygure for he sayeth it is no poynte of religion but rather of iniquite to take hys flesshe aâ—d hys bloud carnally as they did whych vnderstode not christâ—s wordes spyryâ—uallye but carnallye wente back therfore and departed from hym Among many thynges in hys Epystell to bonyeface he wryteth thus Truelye we vse to saye of tymes when Ester drawâ—th nere that tomorowe or nexte daye shal be the passyon of the Lorde not wythstandyng he suffered hys passioÌ„ many yeres befor Neyther dyd he suffre but ons Also on Easter day we customably saye this daye the Lorde hath rysen And it manye yeares hath passyed in dede syns he rose for sayeÌ„g this we shuld be reported as shameful lyers sauing that we do name thys after the simâ—litude of the dayes them selues wherin the thinges were done So we may say thys is the daye though it be not the day it selfe in dede But by the reuelacyon of tyme lyke vnto it And so we say the thynge is done this day for the celebracioÌ„ of the sacrameÌ„t whych is not done thys day in dede but was done a great whyle before was not christ once offred in him selfe And yet in the sacrameÌ„t he is offred to the faythful people not only euery Easter but euery day nether is he founde a lyer that answereth to a man askyng the questioÌ„ that he is offered For yf the sacrameÌ„t had not a certayne symâ—litude of those thinges wherof they be sacrameÌ„tes they were no sacrameÌ„tes at all for the lykenes many tymes the sacrameÌ„tes take the names of the thynges theÌ„ selues Therfore lyke as after a sorte the sacrameÌ„t of the body of christ is the body of christ the sacrameÌ„t of the bloud of christ is the bloud of christ So the sacramet of fayth is fayth Thus we perceyue that saint AusteÌ„ affyrmeth the sacrameÌ„t to be one thyng the thynge it selfe

mysterye of the lord and vnto that thyng whych you your selues be you answre ameÌ„ And in answryng you subscrybe therefore thou hearest the body of christ thou answrest amen Be thou a meÌ„bre of the body of christ that that the amen may be true and wherin in breade we wyll speake nothynge or oure owne heades but heare the Apostell We beynge manye sayeth he are one breade and one bodye c. Therfore Saynte Augustyne hath taught vs that as the bodye of Christe is sygnyfyed in the breade whyche is on the alter so is the body of the people that receyueth it Also he hath euidently shewed that the proper bodye of chryste is that body in the which he was borne of the virgyn marye in the which he sucked in the whiche he suffred in the whiche he dyed and was buried in the whiche he rose and ascended into heauen in the whiche he sytteth of the ryght hand of the father and in the whiche he shall come agayne to iudgemet But this whiche is set on the lordes table conteyneth the mysterye of the very body euen as it dothe of the mysterye of the beleuyng people For the appostle sayeth We beynge maney are one breade and one bodye YOURE wysdome most excellente prynce may perceyue that I haue prouyd by the testimonies of holy scryptures and of the holy fathers that the breade whiche is called the body of chryste and the cup called his blode is a fygure because it is a mysterye And that there is no small dyfference betwene the mystycall bodye and the bodye that suffered was buryed and rose agayne For this whiche suffered is the proper body of oure sauyour Neyther in it is any fygure or signifycacion but the manifestacyon of the thying it selfe is knowen And the visyon of it shulde be desyred of the faythfull For after we shall se it youre desyre shal be accomplyshed for he and the father be all one not in the respecte of our sauyours bodye but in the respecte of the fulnes of deuinite that dwellethe in the man chryste But in this mystycall body is a fygure not onely of the proper body of chryst but also of the people beleuyng in christ For doutles it beareth the fygure both of the body of chryst that suffered rose agayne and of the people borne agayne by baptysme and made alyue from the death of siÌ„ne Let vs adde also that the breade and the wyne named the bodye and blode of chryst do represent the memorye of the lordes passyon death For he sayeth in the gospell Do this in my remembraunce the whiche paule expoundeth sayenge So oft as ye eate of this breade drynke of this wyne you shall shewe the death of the lorde tyll he come Thus we be taught both of chryst and of paule that the breade and the wyne set on the altare are set for a fygure or a memory of the lordes deathe that it maye putte vs in remembraunce in the tyme present what hath bene done in tyme past that we made myndfull of his passyon may be made also partakers of the godly rewarde by the which we ar delyuered from death Knowynge that after we shal once come to the visyon of chryste we shall haue no nide of suche instrumentes by the whiche we are put in remembraunce what chryst hath suffered for vs. For we lokynge on hym face to face shall not be admonyshed by an externe admonicion of temporall thiÌ„ges but by the contemplacyon of the truth it selfe Yet we may gyue thankes to the auctor of our helth â—t you shall not thinke for all this that the body and blode of the lorde is not receyued of the faythfull in the mysterye of the sacrament sayenge that fayth receyueth not the thyng loked vppon with oure eyes but that whiche is beleued For the meate is spirituall the drynke is spirituall feadyng the soule spiritually and gyueth the lyfe of euerlastyng secrete as our sauyour sayeth The spirite is he that quyckeneth the flesshe profyteth nothynge Wâ—â—â—les I haue indeuered to obey the coÌ„maundement of your excellencye I a man of small importancye haue presumed to dispute of no small thynges yt not folowynge the presumptyon of myne owne estimacyon or Iudgement But the auctoritie of the olde fathers yf it happen that you approue these thynges as catholyke it muste be imputed to be merytes of our fayth which was not ashamed the glorye of your regall magnificeÌ„ce layed awaye for a tyme to aske a responce of the truth of a pore man but yf they please you not let it be imputed to my folyshnes it coulde not with efficacye explicate that thynge whiche you desyred FINIS Â¶ Imprynted at London in saynt Andrewes paryshe in the waredropt by Thomas Raynalde and Anthony Kyngstone
