you two that is to say waxe metalles of th one is made the seale of the prince wherwith is sealed the graces pardons forgeuenesses the letters priuileges graunted by the prince He that couÌ„terfeiteth this seale is he not punished for treason euen as if he he had hurt the very person of the prince Doth not this seale represent the very person of the prince as if he himself were there present yet the waxe notwtstanding that it is called the seale of the prince is not therfore traÌ„substantiat but remaineth stil waxe yet after that it hath receyued the reuerend print of the prince it is no more called waxe but the princes seale The metalls of golde siluer marked for the coyne of the prince to serue for money although they be called no more gold nor siluer but haue changed their names at the wil of the prince be it into the name of ducate crown shillings pence or other names do thei leaue to be metals the same substance thei wer before this only difference there is that thei are apointed stamped with the print of the prince whiche doth really represent him in such sort that he that clippeth or couÌ„terfeiteth this monie is punished as for the crime of treason and as he had hurt the ê“per person of the prince 1. Cor. 11. By much better reason the bread wine consecrated marked to be sacrameÌ„ts of the body blood of Iesus christ do really represent him not in painting Wherfore he that vseth it vnworthely shall haue euerlasting damnation as a traitour to the maiestie of god If ye o Massalians Nicolaitains transubstantiators are not sufficiently satified with thinterpretation of Iesus christ of his apostles ne yet with similitudes familier coÌ„parisons to bring you to the true way certain forme ordeined of god for the celebration of his holy sacraments in abolishing your Masse and Pompilian idolatries casting away also your abhominable witchcraft of transubstantiation at the lest yet wil ye geue no credit vnto the interpretation of thauncient doctours of the church Heare than that which S. Augustin doth recite against Adamantin August ca. 12. authorities of the auncient doctours The exposition of sainct Augustine euen as the blood in many places of the holy scriptures is called the water the rock christ So is the bread called the body of Iesus christ the which thre places must be expouÌ„ded to be figures signes When that saith the same doctor Iesus christ spake these words hoc est corpus meuÌ„ lib. de doctri christi in prefati Psal 3 this is my body gaue theÌ„ bred He gaue theÌ„ the signe of his body for he thought otherwise that it was a thing vnlawfull to vncourteous to deuour the flesh body of Iesus christ lib. 10. de can des cap. 5. sacrificium de consecr destinct 2. if there wer not a figure ther namely the bread to put vs in minde of the fleshe body of Iesus christ to haue bene offered vp for our life euerlasting food Moreouer the same doctor vseth this interpretatioÌ„ the visible sacrament is the testameÌ„t that is to sai the holy signe of the inuisible sacrifice The like interpretations are described by Tertullian against MarcioÌ„ the heritick Tertul. lib. 1. 3.4 wherfore then o massaliaÌ„s haue not you folowed the autoritie of the holy doctors of the church which wold not blaspheme against god by a witchcraft of traÌ„substanciatioÌ„ Vt quid paras dentem veÌ„trem crede maÌ„ducasti ca.

Hierom in epist ad Eph. but haue frely acknowledged the sacrameÌ„t to be a signe or holy visible figure signifiyng in spirite by faith that which is inuisible wherfore prepare ye the mouth the belly to deuour the fleshe of christ corporally why do ye not offer your soules by liuely faith worthely to eat Iesus christ why did you not interpret the eating of the body of Iesus christ by the notable distinctioÌ„ of the holy doctor Ierom saying the flesh of Iesus christ is vnderstaÌ„did fleshly wheÌ„ there is meÌ„tion made of the sheding of the bloud crucifiing of the body of Iesus christ for our saluation Ca. dupliciter â—adeÌ„ distinct But spiritually when it is said that the fleshe is the true meat which must be eaten For another holy doctor I wil alledge Gelase Bishop of Rome Sainct Gelase against Eutychius Nestorius who disputing against the heritiks Eutichians Nestoriens doth affirme that the bread wine consecrated made sacrameÌ„ts do not leaue in substance still to bread wine but are figures signes of the body blod of Iesus christ by the misterie of the sacrameÌ„t S. Ambrose in his booke of sacraments chap. 11. Wil ye haue more large witnesses of s Ambrose who vpon the epistle to the CorinthiaÌ„s hath expouÌ„ded eating drinking the bread the wine to signifie the flesh the blod of Iesus christ offered for vs Origin in Leui homil 7. Origin also in his homilies hath expouÌ„ded the sacrameÌ„ts to be figures which must be examined spiritually not carnally for this saith he that the letter killeth if it be not vnderstaÌ„d spiritually S. Chrisostom in homil 31. ca. 15. com 1. Psalm 22. wheÌ„ it is writteÌ„ to eat the flesh of christ Wherfore S. Chrisostom warneth to honor this sacrament in offring the soule vnto god for which christ was crucified and that by this holy sacrameÌ„t of bread wine is signified vnto vs the likenes of the body blood of Iesus christ To make an end it behoueth to be ruled by the holy interpretation of our doctor Iesus Christ of his apostles to honor reuerence his holy sacrameÌ„ts ordened of him for outward signes to lift vp our minds to heaueÌ„ to take that which is represented by the same signes not to esteme theÌ„ as vain paintings or faÌ„tasies but worthely to receiue theÌ„ in liuely faith by the vertue of the holy gost to the end to be fed nourished with heaueÌ„ly bred in the helth of our soules to com to life euer lasting Let vs then be assured in Iesus Christ as membres of his body 1. Cor. 10. Let vs all come into vnitie to coÌ„municate one only bread to drinke one only wyne made of many graines knit together to the end that we may say with the holy apostle 1. Cor. 12. all we the faithful are the body of Iesus christ saued redemed by his body crucified blod shed for vs. Thus dwelling abiding by faith in Iesus christ eating him drinking his blood Let vs beleue surely that he was crucified dead risen again his body ascended into heauen D.
