Also the pointes and partes of all diuinitie, that is of the reuealed will and worde of God are declared by their seuerall definitions and diuisions in order as followeth. Also there goeth a treatise before of reformation without tarying for anie, and of the wickednesse of those preachers, which will not refourme them selues and their charge, because they will tarie till the magistrate commanude and compell them.

the priest doth eate of it himselfe and carieth it rounde about vnto them with a vayne babling ouer euery one which receyue and eate it kneeling downe before him Likewise also they take the cuppe and inchaunte it by reading a grace or other prayers ouer it then they reade it or by the booke pronounce it to be the bloud of Christ which is but an Idole in steade thereof And so he and they drinking it doe euen drinke their iniquitie and feede thereon So are they imbouldned and further strengthned in ther sinne Hitherto of our calling in the newe Testament 63 Applying of the signe is a due manner of giuing taking and vsing it in an holy communion vppon the worde preached Pronouncing the breade to be the bodie of Christe is a warranting and sanctifying thereof by the authoritie of God in the message of the Preacher to bee an outwarde religious signe seale or pledge of his bodie broken for vs and of the spirituall grace receyued thereby Pronouncing the drinke to be the blood of Christe is a warranting or sanctifying thereof by the authoritie of God in the message of the Preacher to bee an outwarde religious signe and seale or pledge of his bloudsheading for remission of our sinnes and of the spirituall grace receyued thereby Now followeth what calling the Iewes had in the olde Testament as by shadowes and ceremonies which nowe are abolished It were to long to write of all the Iewishe Ceremonies seeing wee would haue this Booke so small as we could For the order of handling them there is no difficultie for looke as the pointes and matter of our redemption be so must the ceremonies be applied thereto 64 What calling is there by ceremonies and shadowes By outwarde sensible signes they teach vs spirituall graces as the ceremonies of the oulde law which are abolished And in the new Testament the two Sacraments before mentioned To apply this to the Iewes at this tyme. 64 How are the Iewes called away misled by the ceremonies Their outward sensible signes are a mockerie of the spirituall graces yea Idols be they and superstitious trifles in stead of grace and truth which is by Christ Iesus 64 The olde Testament was a declaring teaching by a due message from God of the redemption by Christ who was yet for to come but yet in darker manner by shadowes and ceremonies applied to the doctrine to represent Christe Iesus Ceremonies be outwarde sensible signes sanctified and applied by the worde duelie preached to be religious shewes of some spirituall graces which are meant thereby Ceremonies remaining which rather are to be called Sacramentes are Religious Signes and seales confirming and sealing vnto vs by the worde duly preached a spiritual Grace receaued alredy For they be rather seales of graces receyued then shewes and shadowes of graces comming Ceremonies abolished are which being fulfilled in Christ whom and whose dooinges they did signifie doo cease to be helde anie longer because Christe Iesus hath made our saluation so cleare that to vse the olde ceremonies were to darken the light with shadowes and to chaunge Christ Iesus him selfe for the signes and shewes of him 65 Which be the ceremonies of the ould law Some were ceremonies of the whole church and of our whole redemption As the Garden of Eden after the fall of man For the Tree of lyfe which before the fall of Adam was but a token of his obedience of his welfare and happie life thereby was nowe made a signe of life in Christ Iesus Also his driuing from the tree garden was a signe that he should seeke life and redemption by Christ in his Church For the Garden also did shadowe out the Church as the Tree did shadowe Christ Iesus Also the Altar and place togither where it stoode before the Tabernacle was commaunded For the Church of God is as holie grounde for the Altare Christ Iesus and we are y e place which he hath chosen to put his name there Christ is the Altar because that as by the Altare the place and all that was done in it was sanctified so by Christ both we and all that we doo in our regeneration is cleansed and sanctified And therefore is Christ the Altare because that as it was for burnt and sinne offerings and for meate offeringes and peace offerings c. So Christ was slaine to be our burnt and sinne offeringe and he ouercame and tooke awaye sinne and miserie and restored our happines to be our meate offering and peace offering The Arke of Noah and the doare thereof and the safetie of his familie therin did signifie the spiritual house and Church of God whereof Christ is the doore and also the spirituall safetie and happines therein which shal be perfected after this life The land of Canaan and the increase and blessinges therof were figures of the Lords Church and people and of the spirituall graces which the Lorde bestoweth thereon For as the landes of the kingedome is the Kinges inheritaunce so we are the Lordes spirituall inheritaunce and his Canaan ouer which he raigneth The same also is to be sated of some places in the lande of Canaan The Passeouer and comminge out of Egypte did foreshew our redemption from Satan and Antichrist and from all wickednes and miserie For wee eate the Paschall Lambe Christe Iesus when we feede spirituallie on his death and tormentes and so die with him by repentaunce vnto sinne and when we receyue the graces of his resurrection and happines with God and so partake and growe togither in one bodie and church in one Christian communion of graces whereby wee goe out of Egypt as did the Israelites As the Rocke from whom doth flow the spiritual drincke The Tabernacle framed and made for a dwelling to the Lord wherein he delighteth The Citie Ierusalem Mount Zion The Temple The Sanctuarie The Slaughter of the Midianites and such great Deliuerances The Returne from the Captiuitie c. Also certaine Families houlding the ceremonies and true Religion As the familie of Noah and those before him which were raised vp in Abels roume Abraham and his seed Moses and the Kingdome of Israel in the handes of good Kinges Iudges Aaron his seed the Priestes and Leuites Dauid his seed in the seat of Iudgment tyll the coming of Christ. And other such like 65 How doe they make the ceremonies Idols mockeries of the truth They haue some Ceremonies in place of the Church and of the redemption by the Messiah whiche are Idoles in steade of the Church and of the redemption As the Garden of Eden and the Tree of life therein they make an idol in stead of Christ his church if stil thei holde thē as ceremonies that the Messiah our tree of life is not come that he daily doth not gather his church which is our garden of Eden For therein we haue our spirituall beautie looke for an end of this
