To confirme this conflicte and progresse of mā from vnder the lawe vnto grace haue here playne examples of y e storye of the children of Israel whiche so long as they sawe Pharao his hoste at their tayles they were afrayed and ded baptyzed in the red sea which was a shadewe and fygure of our baptisme but when thei sawe their goyde Moses before them hearing this cōfortable gospell y t is to weit Be not afrayd be you still The Lorde will fyght for you and so sawe y e waters smyten with Aarons staffe diuyded before their eyes the staffe of y e worde of God diuideth from vs the waters of adf●iccion they went thorow gladly sewerly with grete glory and triumphe synging on the tother syde when they loking bak sawe their enymyes drowned with the same waters that were their saluacion Many siche passages had they those .xl. yeres so often tempted eftsone conforted agene Siche dayly passages we feel in our selues syn dethe hell assaughting vs to dryue vs vnder grace vnto the whiche we ar come so sone as we heare Crist saying Take herte cōfidence to you for I haue ouercomen syn deth hell The waters of trowble must nedis be deuyded and geue place to as many as aspyre vnto the grace of the gospell What els was fygured by the turning of their eyes from the fyery stinging serpentes vnto the brasone serpēt exalted in the wyldernes There was a grete wrestling all the night betwixt Iacob the aungell whiche fygured our state vnder the. ij degre of the lawe whom Iacob wold not let go tyll in the morning the aungell had blessed hym and tolde hym his name also changed Iacobs name for Israell whylis we therfore se our synnes in our selues in the lawe whiche worketh wrathe Ro. iiij maketh synne to abownde and encrease Ro. vij we ar Iacobites wresteling in derkenes with an vnknowne messagere working astrange worke to do his owne in making vs Israelites that is trewe faithfull beholding and acknowleging God to be our God forgeuing vs our synnes in Crist This aungell of God yf we perseuer in this derke and perellouse batayle with hym vnder the lawe wyll gladly geue vs y e victory vnder the bryght morning of the grace of the gospell at last aftir grete longe affliccion cōfort vs with his name tolde vs to be our almighty one alone for all sufficient sauiour As did Ioseph aftyr long trowbling fering molesting his brethrē father to at last with teares wepīg shewed hymself to be their owne brother Ioseph whom god had sent thither before for their grete counfort Let vs therfore fyght cōstantly contende in this mightly batail to excercyse our faithe that we might be enstructe armed with pacience peace of conscience vntyll the morning of Cristis counfort helpe be sprongen ouer vs albeit yet we halt withe Israell one the one foot that is to saye we feele our flesshe alto weak to walke vpright in Cristes precepts our affects strogling yet agenst his spirit This miche be sayd for the feling trying of our selues to be prepared vnto the worthey receyuing of the Lordis souper ¶ The institucion of the souper of the Lorde UUhen Crist sate at his last souper w t his disciples he toke the brede in his handes gaue thankes to his father and broke it gaue to euery one of his disciples thereof saying Take it eat it this is my bodye which is broken for you And lyke wyse of the cuppe saying This cuppe is the newe testament or couenant in my blode Se that ye do this as oft as ye shal do it do it into the remembrance of me Let vs now beholde obserue diligently for our doctryne the accion with all the circunstances of this souper we shall se with y e eye of our faith meruellouse present consolaciō Wherfore this holy souper ought hyghly with all reuerence to be eaten treated Here we se with our bodely eyes the holy brede brokē the holy wyne powerdforth for holy it is nowe cōsecrated into so holy an vse but with y e eye of our faith we se presently Cristis body broken his bloude forth powerd into the remissiō of our synnes Agene we see with our exterior eyes y e brede wyne geuen to vs but with the eye of our faith we se as presently his body crucifyed his blode shede geuen vs Now is his body thus broken and his blode thus shed all togither ours for euer Now is Crist thus once suffering rysen sitting on the right hand of his father all ours w t is perpetuall prayer For what thing is more frely ours then that whiche is geuen vs with his owne mouthe delyuered vs with his owne handis into our hādis mouthes yea but wherefore is he thus geuen vs verely to eate and to drinke hym That at we eate drinke bodely is receyued into our bodyes conuerted into our substance made all one flesshe blode with ours we all one with it And her must we ascende into that spirituall eating drinking by faith whereof Crist spoke Io. vi saying My wordis ar spirit and lyfe the flesshe profiteth not It is the spirit y t geueth this lyfe wherof y e iuste lyueth It is the soule that eateth lyueth by this bread not our bodyes of the which eting saith Io.

ordinance there is nothing not so miche as the name or very litle lefte of what vnworthey sorte ar these men God se to it be iuge Cypriane in his pistle vnto Cecilium warneth ernestely sharpely y t in the administraciō of the sacraments we shuld not in any wyse nor in nothing swarue from y e precepts of the gospel But the disciples shuld obserue that at their master Crist taught did it And he denyeth also those men worthey to be called ether the frends or disciples of Crist whiche violate or breke their masters commandemēt or altere his ordināce as did certayn men in his tyme put onely water into the cuppe when Crist cōsecrated wyne no water of whom Crist testifyeth in his gospell saying ye ipocrytes ye cast away my cōmandements to setfast your owne tradiciōs I wylnot here tell y t at euery man knoweth euen the licenciouse fraude of them which to nourissh their own priuate filthy lucre filthyer idyl bellyes haue turned this holy souper not without a grete mystery celebrated in the euening which tyme the apostles euer aftir obserued this comon communion for many togither to receyue into a priuate I wilnot saye chorlissh breakfast selling it vnder y e cloke of their owne merits And somiche the more gilty of the lordis body blode ar they for that they entreate handle behaue themselues so filthely so cruelly that y e scripture in euery place cryeth so out agenst them y t their indignite lothely vnworthenes nether may nor ought no lenger to be suffred Also Chrysostom saith y t they ar not only gyltye of the blode of Crist whiche in tēples by the abuse of holy sacramēts seke folowe terrene vnlawfull lucre cōuerting y e honorable religiō into thoccasion of vngodly merchandise but also thei that bye sell y e giftis of god when thei shuld know it writē That thīg frely to be geuē which thei frely receyued wherfore nedis must thei be giltye of y e body of the Lorde which inuyte compell men for their giftis in bying selling to do that thing which violateth subuerteth y e doctrine tradiciō of crist And sewerly Ambrose speking of the vnworthey eaters saith Those men to be vnworthy of y e Lorde aftir thapostles mynde which wotherwise celebrate this mystery then it was delyuered of the Lorde for he may not be deuoute godly which presumeth and taketh it otherwyse then it was geuē of the firste autour It wolde gladly be knowne what shuld be answerde vnto theis holy fathers which all with one voice deteste dampne this violated ryte abuse of the sacramēt thus deformed so prophanely abused popisshly celebrated as ye se it this daye which also vtterly denye it y t it is lawfull Cristis cōmandement instituciō abrogated despysed to be turned into y e doctrynes decrees of mē And that thīge which was once done iustly according to the scriptures in all chirches so manye yeres we may not suffer it to be altered of men by no autorite of scriptures by no example of the olde holy doctours by no iuste cause but onely for the filthy lucre vnreasonable giftis of a fewe hyerlings to stond still thus violated deformed and prophaned Thei therfore vnworthely eat his flessh drink his blode whiche thirsting the innocent blode of Cristes pore chirche persecute sley those good men that speke or write agenst their blody actes deadis of whō the prophete Isay saith Swift ar their feet to shede blode Nether take they the wordis of the apostle any lesse flesshly then did the blody caparnaites take Cristis when they sayd How may this man geue vs his flesshe to eate It is therfore manifest that theise blodye flesshly eaters drīkers receyue Crist w t as vnpure hertis as filthy mouthes as did thei that nayled him to the crosse woūded his body gaue hym gall to drinke Also it is manifest that the gylte syn cōsist not nor is not cōmitted in the bodely towching of his naturall bodye but by the contempt abuse of so holy a sacramēt As contrary wyse the frute therof stondeth not in the towching vse of his corporall present bodye but in the spiritual enbrasing therof by faith wherby the spirit of faith eteth verely the flessh of crist and verely drinketh his blode Aftir this maner somtyme mē were called gilty of the maiestye or traytours which contumeliously despysed the glorye or dignite of the Romās And they called iniuriouse vnto y e emprowr that threwdown his image or rased his picture or any letters from hym which thīg was as haynously takē as though thei had layd violent hādis vpon themprowr himself And euē so ar thei verely gilty goddis maiesty and traytours to hym whiche violate cōtempne the institucion lawe of hym do contrarye to y t thing which he cōmāded ordened So ar thei gilty y e bodye blode of crist which coming to his table nether w t the dewe honour vnto the lorde nor w t that discipline that the souper requireth nor w t the same mynde faithe y t the body blode is receyued prosecute not this mystery instituted of y e lorde but ether negligētly litle regarde it or vtterly cōtempne it as thei were wonte whiche as the Apostle writethe Crucifye Crist a fresshe in themselues set forthe the blode of the couenāt for a laughing stok tredīg it vnder fote by which they were sanctifyed for it is sayd That y e greter the maiestye is y e greuouser is the syn the more is the indignite vnworthines committed agenst it Also these Iewes gētyles ar giltye of the mistik bodye of Crist which draw forth and shed the blode of his chirche which is euē y e very blode of Crist And thus ar the wyked couetuouse curates called in scripture giltye the blode of Crist which fede not their flok with the sode of goddis worde but famisshe them for hunger And thei ar innocent of the blode which w t all diligence fede Cristis chirch redemed with his blode with the worde of God And thei ar giltye of the body bloud y t beleue not for so is eting takē Ezech. iij. where he is cōmanded to eate the bok And they ar vngilty aftir Austen y t eat the flesshe drinke y e blode of the Lorde according to Cristis saying I am that lyuing brede which am comedown from heuen whoso eat of this brede he shall lyue euer And at last as it were by y e waye to take awaye y t carnal sense of the trāselemented symbols which the papistik scolemencal transsubstanciaciō of the brede wyne that is to saye adnihilacion or naught making of them destroying the substāce of them bothe so y t their remayneth nomore brede
