any part of y e height depth bredth and leÌ„gth of the same as it is If his own harte bloud was not to deare for vs beeyng hys very enemyes neuer desirous to doe his wil How is it possyble that he wyl contemne vs for coÌ„ming vnto him with purpose and desyer to serue hym Many other reasons I could geue you wherefore the saynctes are not to bee prayed vnto for that pulleth from fayth in Chryst It maketh them godes it is ydolatrye c. But thys maye suffice So y t nowe you see by godes woorde what oure faith is concernynge these 4. thynges Whyche that you maye the more loue embrace and be coÌ„teÌ„t to cary wyth you throughe fyer and water I wil now goe about by gods grace as brefelye as I can to shewe howe abominable their doctryne is euen out of the short Summe therof already before by me rehearced The. 10. Chapter The popishe doctryne of the sacrament confuted more largelye FIrste where they alledge the Catholyke churche to haue taughte concernynge the supper the doctryne of traÌ„substaÌ„ciacioÌ„ of Christs real and carnall presence dearly beloued know that this is a manifest lie For as the Catholyke church neuer knew of it for 900 yeares at the least after Christs ascension so after that tyme no other churche did obstynatlye defende cruelly mayntayne and wylfullye wreste the scriptures and doctors for the establyshing of it saue onli the popish church as theyr owne doctors Duns and Gabriel doe teache Reade the byshoppe of Canterburyes booke agaynste Winchester and see Where as they saye that Christe in hys supper by takyng bread speakynge the wordes of consecracyon dyd make it hys fleshe accordig to hys promes in Iohn whan he saith and y e bread y â— I wil geue is my flesh c so y â— thei wold therbi seme to haue 2. places of Scripture for thys theyr doctryne of transubstanciacyon and reall or carnall presence Although diuersly I cold improue this yet for because I wold not be ouer tedious vnto you euen by the same their seÌ„tence you shal se how lernedly they lye The sentence is this And the bred that I wil geue is mi flesh whiche I wyl geue for the lyfe of the world First marke that he saieth the bread is my flesh He sayth not shalbe my flesh but it is my fleshe Thys I trowe maketh agaist them For the sacrament a yeare after at the lest was not institut Agayne he saith that the bread is his flesh whiche he wyll geue for the lyfe of the world Here woulde I aske them whee there Chrystes death was for y â— life of the world or in vayne If they say it was for the life of the world then why doe they apply and geue it to the sacrament Was it crucifyed Or if it be the same sacrifice for so they saye eyther it was effectuall or not If it was effectual then Christs death neded not If it was not effectuall then Chryst was not god and could not doe that he woulde thus ye maye see their vngodly foolysh nes or foolyshe vngodlynesse I can not tell whyche to cal it wel Where as they require the in tente of the prieste to consecrate Chrystes bodye for asmuche as we knowe not any mans intent god only knoweth the hart yea the wordes we know not thei ar so spokeÌ„ in hucker mucker I pray you into what a doubtfulnesse are we brought whether it be y â— sacrament or no In what perill are we of worshipping a pece of bred for our Chryst Is not this trowe you swete and comfortable geer y â— a man shall alwayes stand in doubt whether he haue receaued the sacramente or no Where as they wil haue it bred to the eye and not to the mouth iudge theÌ„ whether a dogge may not eate Chrystes bodye iudge whether the deuyll if he would come in the liknesse of a pryeste might not swalow vp Chryste so brig him into hel FroÌ„ wheÌ„ce beecause there is no redempcion there Christes body shoulde neuer come but be damned Iudge whether the taist of thy mouth is not as much to be credited as the sight of the eye specially in y â— the scripture so often calleth it bred after y e consecracyon as before I haue shewed Iudge whether Chrystes body be not verye prety that it can lye in so litle a rowme Iudge whether Chryste hath moo bodies then one when perchaÌ„unce the priest hath 20. or 100. before hym Iudge whether the prieste breake not Chrystes bodye in breakynge of it Iudge whether it bee semelye to chawe Chrystes body wyth the teeth Iudge whether Christ did eate hys owne bodye yea or no for Chryst did eate the sacrament w t hys disciples Iudge whether it be semely that Chryst should be kept so in prison as thei kep him Iudge whether it be semeli that Chrystes body should be so dyn dle danled vsed as thei vse it Iudge whether y â— people knockig and knelynge at the eleuacion of that they see for they see but the formes of bred wyne and not Chrystes bodye if it bee as the Papystes feyne iudge I saye whether the people by the papystes owne doctryne bee not made ydolatours Many moo absurdities ther be whyche I purposiye omytte Thys lytle is inough hereby to geue you occasyon to knowe the more Where they saye that y e bred is made Chrystes bodye fleshe bloud c. That is that Christes body is made of the bred As the Byshopp of Wynchester in his boke for thys mater of the deuils sophistie and els where doeth affirme You may se how shame leslye yea blasphemouslye they speake For Chrystes body crucified was borne of the virgin Mary euen of her substaunce But thei saye the supper is that bodye which was crucified Nowe I trowe bread is one thynge and the virgins fleshe another thing Therefore in dede they denye Chryst in the flesh that thei may stablish their Chryst in the bred whych is the very note of Antichrist Last of al where as thei say that they receaue the sacrament to damnacion whych doe not be leue their transubstanciacyon If wyth Paul their wordes wer conferred you shoulde see otherwise For he sayeth they receaue this bread for so he calleth it after the wordes of consecracyon vnworthely whyche doe not esteme Chrystes body As in dede the papystes do not whych woulde brynge Chryste down out of heauen for theues and whores to chawe and eate for mothes to corrupt and to be in daunger of mowlynge as yf thei kepe their hostes loÌ„g indede thei wil moulde and then wyll they burne theÌ„ Doe these menne trow you esteme Chrystes body Paul playnly sheweth in y â— same place that y e wycked man whiche receaueth y â— sacrament vn worthely eateth not Chrysts body but his own daÌ„nacioÌ„ which I trow be not Christes bodye And this shal serue for this time to shew you how shameles fylthy abominable

is they wil not saye as y â— Apostle doth namely that it is bread No then they wyl say that we hang all by reason the mater beynge a mater of fayth Wher as they themselues altogether hang on reason as though Chryst can not be able to doe that which he promiseth bred stil in substauÌ„ce remaynyng as the Accidentes doe except it be transubstaÌ„ciate Is not thys trow you to make it a mater of reason and to hedge gods power in within the limits of reason Yf Chrystes wordes that folowe which is geueÌ„ for you be to bee vnderstande for whyche shalbe geuen or shalbe betrayed for you and not so precyselye as they be spoken for that were to make Chryst a lyar why is it so hainous a mater with y e papists because we doe not so precyselye take the wordes immedyatly goyng before namelye thys is my body as to admitte that if there be bred then Chryst is a lyar Myght not we reason and saye then if Christes body at y â— tyme was not betrayed as in dede it was not nor hys bloud shed theÌ„ is Chryst a lyar But here they wyll saye all men may knowe that Chryst by the present tence meante the future tence and in the scrypture it is a most vsual thyng so to take tence for tence And I praye you why maye not we saye that al menne maye know it is most common in scripture to geue vnto signes y â— nams of the thynges whych they signifye And no man is so foolyshe but he knoweth that Chryst theÌ„ instituted a sacrament whole sacramentally to be vnderstande that is that the sygne or visible sacrament shold haue not only y â— name of the thing signified but also some similitude there with or els it were no sacrament But take bred awaye as the papystes do leauing there but the accidentes onely whych do not feede the bodye and then what shallreseÌ„ble and represente vnto vs Chrystes body broken for the fode of the soule As wyne com forteth the hart so doth Christs bloud shed on the crosse comfort the soule But take wyne awaye by transubstanciacy on as the papystes doe and tell me what similitude remaineth None at also no sacrament at all so Christs institucion is taken away Wel doe theireiect gods commaundement for their tradicions sake Our fayth therefore is that the supper of the lord is y â— sacrament of Chrystes bodi bloud These wordes thys is my bodi which is brokeÌ„ for you this is mi bloud of the new testament whyche is shed for your synnes are moste true words and plaine accordig to Christes meaning to al them whych doe as he byddeth them that is to all suche as take eate and drynke Which wordes the papistes kepe in theyr purse or els theyr priuate masses could not stande To such I say as take and eate thys sacrameÌ„t in sorowinge for their synfullyfe past and purposyng to amende aboue al things remembryng and beleuyng that Chrystes bodye was broken for their synnes and his bloud shed for their iniquities all suche I saye as verely as they see take taist and eate bread and drynke wyne whyche goeth into theyr bodi fedeth it and nourisheth it euen so verely the soule spirite by fayth receaueth not onelye Chrystes bodye broken or hys bloud shed for the fleshe profyteth nothyng it is the sprite that quickeneth sayth Christ but eueÌ„ whole Chryste into whom they are incorporate and made one wyth hym fleshe of hys fleshe and bone of hys bones That is to saye as Chrystes body is immortal and glorious euen so are theirs now by fayth and hope and at the daye of the Lord they shal be in very dede Then whych thyng what can be greater Thys we teache and beeleue concernyng thys sacrament dete styng and abhorryng the horrible error of transubstanciacion whych maketh bread and wyne our God and Chryste and causeth men to be gasers gapers worshyppers yea ydolators rather then takers and eaters as Chryst coÌ„maundeth and whiche maketh Christs sacrifice of none effect as now shalbe shewed by gods grace For thys shall suffyse to the declaracyon of our faith concerning the Lordes supper whervnto agreeth the Catholik church and al the fathers As full well thou mayst see in the byshop of Canterburyes boke whych is farre from being answered eyther by the byshop of Worceter his boke in english or Marcus ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ C. in latyn y â— thou nedest nomore to confyrme thy fayth in thys mater but to reade them wyth an indiffereÌ„t mynd not beyng addict otherwyse theÌ„ to the desyer of the trueth As for thys doctryne of transubstanciacyon it is a newe founde thyng about a. 600. yeares olde euen then broughte oute whan GataÌ„ was latteÌ„ lose after a. 1000 yeares that was bounde Euen then was it establyshed whan there was more mischefe among the prelates specially the pops about the sea of Rome who cold catche it then euer there was among the emperours for the empyre In the primitiue church popes wer martird for Christs spouses safe that is the church but now one poysoned another and one slew another for y e rose coloured whore of babiloÌ„s safe that is y â— popysh churche In. 160. yeares there was nere hand 50. popes wheras in no such tyme therwer aboue 33. emperours And in the middes of this miserable state tyme thys doctryne of transubstaÌ„ciacion was the popes beginning as they might haue ley sure froÌ„ coÌ„spiring agaynst prynces one agaynst another to establish it as the very principal pilloure of al their power and no meruel For thys beyng admytted then haue they power ouer Chryste the king of al kiges y â— he be wher they wyll whan they wyl and aslong as they wil vnder their power Where throughe the other must nedes folow y â— if thei haue power ouer Christe and that in heaueÌ„ to brig him down at their pleasure Much more theÌ„ oueral earth emperours kigs prices people Yea eueÌ„ ouer y e deuil purgatory and hel haue they full power and iurisdiction being now goddes in earth whyche sytte in the holy place euen as god yea aboue God to make what artycle of fayth shal please them as they haue done thys of transubstanciacion whyche myghte aswel be denied as graunted saith Duns one of their own doctors and master Gabriel also if it so pleased the holy father and his spouse the church of Rome Before thys tyme all the fathers diligence labour and care was to call men to the receauynge of thys sacrament for the coÌ„firmacion of their fayth that as verelye as they dyd eate bread and drynke wyne here so shold they not doubt but that by fayth thei did fede on the body of Chryst broken for theyr synnes and on
