Angels the prophet well may cal For the foode of Angels is the glorie clere Of the blessed godhead most celestiall With the whiche godhead Christ was euer equal So then where christ is the godhead is alway Then the bread of Angels we eate we may say Then quod he here the shew breade is set out Wherof none but the priestes alone might eate The which doth signifie no christen maÌ„ wil dout This most blessed bred which is of vertu great The shew bread was vsed as an heauenly meat For none but the priestes God did therto admit And all the people did reuerence to it This most heauenly meat of christes fleshe and bloud Being as I saied the perfitte veritie Figured by this shew bread by which y e priestes stood Only of priestes also eaten here must be Of priestes made by order nay so take not me But both priestes kings as Peter doth vs cal Which offreth to god the sacrifice spirituall How we are kinges priestes thou must vnderstand We are not all priestes in ministracion No more then we are kinges gouerning a lande Yet kinges we are by Peters nominacion And so are we priestes by Paules probacion Make your bodies saieth he a liuely sacrifice By this mean such other al meÌ„ priests he tries He may be called a king learned me doth say Which doth his carnall affections subdue But if he do not that as muche as he may He is in this case neither king nor prieste true But if he be a king thus then will insue He is a worthy priest so spiritually Whose godly workes then God doth accept hye Now this kingly priesthod whoso doth attaine Without the feare of God it can neuer be TheÌ„ y e prophetes promisse here doth folow plain God geueth meat to those that feare hiÌ„ saith he Geueth he meat to none els yis forsoth we se By his gifte infidelles haue their sustenaunce TheÌ„ doth he mean meat of an hygher substauÌ„ce And what that meat is christ doth plain declare My fleshe saieth he is very meate in dede And my bloud is drinke this is no figure bare These wordes are plain the gospel y u maist rede now thou seist to what end this figure doth lede To the faithful christ his fleshe blod doth geue Then they eate it not ê™ I that beastly do liue Nay I say not so thou dost me mistake For euen the wicked receiueth Christes body Or els our receite should it his body make And if I so ment I should meane wickedlye For Paule saith who that eateth it vnworthily Eateth his own iudgement because no differeÌ„ce He maketh of christes body this is plain euideÌ„ce They say ê™ I that S. Austen doth say That wicked meÌ„ eath not Christes flesh bloud Tho they eate the sacrament euery day Upon which thei coÌ„clude that none but the good Only eateth christes fleshe this with stout mood They do defende and say this doth trye That it is not Christ but to the good only Thou must vnderstand ê™ he that this worde Iesus Is as much to say as a sauiour true And to all men Christes wyll is to be thus Yet is he not so the scripture do shewe But why because they folowe not vertue By whiche they loose the benefite of that name Yet Iesus is a sauiour thou wilt graÌ„t the same Blessed are those saith christ whiche are not hurt by me Who can be hurt by Christ who is all goodnes Truely suche as wicked and vnfaithfull be Whiche receiueth him not after his worthines Whose iugemeÌ„t as I sayd s. Paule doth expresse Now like as Christ was with the Iewes preseÌ„t So is he with vs in the sacrament Christ is not quod I â–ª with vs now present As he was with the Iewes I mean not so ê™ he That he so should be is not conueniente For with them he walked in his humanitee Fulfylling all thinges that fulfyld should be Which done vp to heauen he did ascende And froÌ„ thence shall come againe at the last end Than can he not be here ê™ I by your owne tale That canning quod he will not be let by me For if I said as thou saist we should both faile But the tale that I tell if it mine should be My canning could neuer proue vnto the How his body could be both here and aboue But loking who spake it faith wil hovv remoue Now wher saint Austen saith y t the wicked here Eateth not Christes fleshe but the good only Meanes not but that Christ is eateÌ„ eueriwhere Both of good and ill him selfe doth plaine trye The euill doth eate it and not eate it truely Sacramentally thei eat Christes fleshe bloud Though not to their soule health as doth all the good Now those that do not eate it to that effecte Are counted then not to eate it at all As he that with any sickenes is infecte And digesteth not his meat it norisheth but smal For which as not eaten be counted it shall EueÌ„ so he that eateth Christ with a faith vntru Is counted not to eate because hurt doth ensue Christ must be Iesus to those that him receiue Or els to their hurt they receiue him we se As did the euil Iewes by this thou maist ê‘ceiue That for to eat Christes flesh in such sort must be To nourishe his soule in Christ or els he Eates not a sauiour though it be Christ in dede But greater iudgemeÌ„t as in S. Paul we rede By this thou mayest perceiue s. Austens minde Is not to deny Christ in the sacrament For y t truth iÌ„ his workes most plain y u maist fide Therfore nothing lesse then thou saist he ment As vnto the I haue proued euidente I lyke your proffe ê™ I I wyl no more contend Then for this time ê™ he I haue made an ende Nowe whan he had all these figures declared Sodainly he vanisht fro me a way Then whan I sawe that I me selfe prepared To se more in this hall and then with out stay I loked on my ryght hand on the which side lay But two stories of the newe testament Which were the verites that the figures mente The first was the solemne supper of our lord At the whiche his body he did consecrate Plasing a newe sacrifice for the comforde Of his newe churche which shall not consuÌ„mate Untyll he come againe hir to congregate To raigne w t him which sacrifice he did ordaine In place of all the olde tyll than to remaine Next vnto this was very rychly wrought Howe Christ on the crosse suffred passion Wherby all mankind with his bloud he bought Procuring therby eternall redemption Leuing on his parte scripture doth mention Not one iote concerning his death suffraunce Therfore he is not now offred but iÌ„ remeÌ„brauÌ„ce For there remaineth no sacrifice for sinne By any shedding of bloud or death suffring For Christ ones by deth Gods fauour so did win He needes to dye

Therfore my coumpte lesse shall come to Then those that hath Gods gyftes more hye But yet the least I feare truelye Shall be more then they well may bere Whiche dothe make me my coumpte to feere The cause wherfore that I do make This treatise small only is this Because men may example take Of those whiche did stray farre amisse Assaulting faith that moost true is The cheife of whom as they shall se Did not amonge them selues agree Of whiche my simple enterprise Pardon of all men I do craue For my rude style my wit here tryse Suche wit suche termes alwaye wyll haue Therfore if fautes ye do persceiue Do them correcte as ye cause see Iust cause can no thing displease me Finis WHen Sagittary had dominion The nightes theÌ„ being very long and cold I mused on the straunge opinion the which diuers meÌ„ did diuersly hold Against our sauiours own wordes plainly tolde Which troubled me so that as it did chaunce With the same study I fell in a traunce Then with that I had a wonderfull dreame In the which me thought Morpheus drue neere And toke me by the haÌ„de with streÌ„gth extreme He drue me furth and bade me nothing feare But go with him and as we going were Let not my coÌ„ming quod he the displease For thou shalt finde it shall be for thine ease I know that thou dost sore trouble thi minde With the fondnes of men which thou doest see Agaâ—nst Christes wordes cauillation to finde The which in the scripture so plaine written be And how one with an other do not agree Is not this thy trouble I pray the tell trewe It is trueth quod I euen as thou dost shewe Well quod he I shall shew the more anone Then came we in to an hall long and wide The like before I neuer loked vpon Most gorgiously hounge it was on eche side With noble storyes which I wyll not hide Wrought in fine arrase with pure silke golde It rauishte my witte this hall to beholde Then did I loke vpon the lefte hande There sawe I the Arke of God purely wrought Of fine golde as it orderly doth stande In the byble whiche seing I me be thought Of the stories ther which to my minde brought What the Arke and all the reste did signifye Whiche on the lifte side of this hall did lye First there I sawe Melchizedech the King Meting Abraham the great Patriarche FroÌ„ slaughter of the. iiii kinges for which thiÌ„g He offred to God in a mystery darke Breade wine the which thing as I did marke A hande in the cloudes wrote this him before Thou arte a priest it saied for euer more TheÌ„ stode ther king Dauid redy w t his penne And wrote it in the spirite of prophecy Pointing to that priest which shuld saue al men Saying thou arte a priest eternally After Melchizedeches order truely The which when I sawe I burnt in desire To se all the rest my hart was on fyre There I sawe howe that the Iewes also Did eate the paschall lambe as God coÌ„mauÌ„ded When he did saue them from wicked Pharao Whiche with all his army was there confounded In the rede Sea where he deliuered His people drye foote to shewe his powre great In remeÌ„brance wherof the lambe they did eate Nexte to this story I sawe rychely wrought Howe that Manna from aboue did discende To fede those whoÌ„ god out of thral had brought Thus God his goodnes to them did extende Kyng Dauid stoode by and this truely pende Prophesieng therby a mystery great Saying man the bread of Angels hath eate A goodly table then sawe I there spreade By the which the high priestes stode honorably And did set theron the holy shewe breade Of the whiche none might eate but they only Then in that place also I did espye Where king Dauid did writ this senteÌ„ce cleare God geueth meat to those that him truely feare TheÌ„ as I stode musing these thinges to scaÌ„ne I could not with all my wyttes them define Then came there to me an auncient man Whiche semed to be some noble deuine He bad me mine eares to him incline And he would open to me by and by What all these thinges did truely signifie Of that I was glad and gaue attendaunce To here how he would these figures discusse Whiche he did truely with noble vtteraunce And first of the Arke his saying was thus The Arke quod he whiche is so glorious Doth signifye Christ his churche be thou sure Which hath in it the swete Manna most pure This Manna is the holy sacrament Of the blessed body and bloud of our Lord Whiche he lefte here to be permanent As a pledge most sure of our soules comford Aarons rodde also doth signifie his worde By the whiche his churche is gouerned here But by Manna is figurde his body most nere Secondly where Melchizedech the king Brought furth breade and wine before AbrahaÌ„ That did signifie Christes holy offryng Whiche he offred when he to his maundy came Christes order of priesthod coÌ„sisteth in the same Sith Melchizedeches order in his sacrafice Was none other but that scripture plaine trise And where he saieth thou art a priest for euer Did not only signifie Christes eternitee But also his order whiche ende shall neuer Whiche he ordained here at his maundie Fulfylling Melchizedeches order truely Yet is he the priest which doth worke this thinge In his ministers dayly ministring Stay there sir quod I by your pacience Did Melchizedeches order only consyst In these two thinges me thinke of
