A64359	A friendly debate between a Roman Catholick and a Protestant concerning the doctrine of transubstantiation wherein the said doctrine is utterly confuted, and Antichrist is clearly and fully described, and his inevitable destruction predicted : with a challenge to all the Romish doctors that preach and teach the said doctrine, to answer it.	Tenison, Thomas, 1636-1715.	1688 (1688)	Wing T698; ESTC R38802	90,615	48

This is my Body which is broken for you so far you go but you leave out and omit this do in Remembrance of me likewise also the Cup after Supper saying This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood which is shed for you Mat. 26.26 27. And as they were cating Jesus took Bread and blessed it and brake it and gave it to the Disciples and said Take Eat this is my Body and he took the Cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying Drink ye all of it Here pray Sir observe by the way that it is said that Christ took Bread and blessed it and brake it and gave it to the Disciples what is to be understood by this word it why it was it Bread for had it been Christ's Real Corporeal Substantial Body it should have been more properer thus He took the Bread and blessed him and brake him and gave him to the Disciples And he took the Cup and gave Thanks and gave it to them saying Drink ye all of it Now if your Doctrine were true then it should have been After Christ had given Thanks he gave him to them saying Drink ye all of him and not drink ye all of it that is all the Congregation both Minister and People that are Christ's true Disciples must all partake of the Cup or Wine in the Sacrament of the Lords-Supper But by what Authority your Priests are so uncharitable as to deny the Lay-people the Cup I know not when as our Saviour Christ commands expresly that all his Disciples must drink of it that is of the Wine in the Cup and not of his Material Blood that was then running in his Humane veins and the Cup may rather be taken for the Blood of Christ than the Wine if it be to be understood literally because the Cup only is mentioned and not the Wine for it is said This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood which is shed for you Christ himself did partake of this Holy Ordinance at the same time when he did institute it The same night in which he was betrayed But now if your Doctrine be true then Christ did eat his own Substantial Body and drink his own Material Blood and yet was visible with his Disciples before their Eyes without any alteration in the least It is said His Blood is shed for many for the remission of sins And yet then at that time Christ had not actually and properly shed his Blood but virtually in the Decree of God he had done it before the foundation of the world for all those that ever were saved before Christ came in the flesh and for all that ever should be saved after he came in the flesh down throughout all Ages to the end of the world 1 Pet. 1.20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for you Revel 13.8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world Act. 2.23 Him being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledg of God ye have taken and by wicked hands have Crucified and slain This Ordinance of the Lords-Supper is to be kept up and practised in the Churches of God for a Remembrance of Christ's Death and Passion from them words of our Saviour which words you omit and leave out namely Do this in Remembrance of me as will yet further appear by and by from the Apostle St. Paul's words when he celebrated this Holy Ordinance of the Lords-Supper in the Church of Corinth But again from our Saviour's words which you do take and interpret as if spoken literally whereon you lay so much stress and make it serve for a foundation to build this Doctrine of Transubstantiation upon which was spoken before the Ordinance of the Lords-Supper was Instituted by our Saviour himself in Joh. 6.51 53 54. I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven if any man eat of this Bread he shall live for ever And the Bread that I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world Then Jesus said unto them Verily verily I say unto you Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood ye have no life in you Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath Eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day Here you see it is Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood c. How so what is the meaning of that word of our Saviour Christ viz. Whoso eateth c why this refers to what Christ had been speaking before in the same Chapter which leads to this Discourse of Eating his flesh and drinking his blood in setting out the usefulness and excellency of the Grace of Faith and the absolute necessity of it vers 35 40 47 48. here you shall see that this Whoso eateth Christs flesh and drinketh his blood is this viz. Whosoever believeth in Christ and resteth upon him alone for Spiritual life here and Eternal life in Glory hereafter Pray mark the words of our Saviour And Jesus said unto them I am the bread of life he that cometh to me shall never hunger and he that believeth on me shall never thirst And this is the will of him that sent me that every one which seeth the Son and believeth on him may have everlasting life and I will raise him up at the last day Verily verily I say unto you he that believeth on me hat● everlasting life I am that bread of life What bread of life Why that bread which by faith in his Righteousness and Merits alone justifies and acquits the soul from the guilt and pollution of sin without any works or righteousness of ours in conjunction or i● competition with Christ's for he will have no Rival he will have all the honour of saving a sinner t● himself for he is made the only Spiritual bread o● flesh for the new creature to live upon and it is nourished and strengthened thereby even as our natural bodies are fed and nourished and strengthened by our natural food Joh. 3.16 For God so loved t●● world that he gave his only begotten Son that whose ever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life It is not said here whosoever eateth the material flesh of Christ shall be saved but whosoever believeth on Christ shall have Everlasting li●● Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only Spiritual bread for every believing soul to live and feed upon Spiritually by the mouth of faith But you will say Here is a plain Text of Scripture for your Doctrine viz. This is the Bread which cometh down from Heaven that a man may eat thereof and not did I am the living bread which came down from Heaven 〈◊〉 any man eat of this bread he shall live for ever and t●● bread that I will give is my flesh which I

of man hath power on earth to forgive sins which clearly implies that none else had that Power b● himself and he had it as he was God 1 John 2 1● I write unto you little Children because your sins 〈◊〉 forgiven you for his Names sake that is he judge and pronounced them pardoned because he sees the Work of Grace that God had wrought upon the 〈◊〉 hearts Thus you do see in the Gospel of Christ how Confession of Sins is to be made so as a Pardon in the Blood of Christ may be obtained But Antichrist's Gospel teacheth Men and W● men to confess their Sins and Pay Whip or some other Penance and at the old trade of sinning again 11. Eleventhly The Gospel of Christ teacheth Men to live peaceably as much as in them lie● with all Men Rom. 12.18 But Antichrist's Gospel teacheth them to liv● peaceably with none but them of their own Religion and to do what possibly in them lies to destroy and root all others out of the World. 12. Twelfthly The Gospel of Christ teacheth al● Men to speak the Truth one to another and lye no● to any Man. But the Gospel of Antichrist teacheth Men to use Mental Reservations and Deceitful Equivocations which is to speak one thing with the Tongue and mean another thing in their Heart which is to lye upon all occasions to serve their Ecclesiastical Interest which is the highest degree of Hyporisy in the World. 13. Thirteenthly The Gospel of Christ teacheth us to know Good from Evil and Evil from Good and Light from Darkness and Darkness from Light and it teacheth us to chuse the Good and refuse the Evil. But this another Gospel 2 Cor. 11.4 Gal. 1. 〈◊〉 9. Namely the Gospel of Antichrist teacheth Men to call Evil Good and Good Evil and p●● Darkness for Light and Light for Darkness Isa 5.20 They call the Gospel of Christ Heresy and Protestant-Professors of it Hereticks Now the Gospel is the greatest Light that ever was in the World it is the Light 〈◊〉 Heaven And Heresy is the greatest Darkness in 〈◊〉 World it is the Darkness of Hell and they pla●● their own Antichristian Gospel which is Here●● and thick Darkness in the room of the Gospel Light. 14. Fourteenthly The Gospel of Christ teacheth us to believe in him alone and to rely upon 〈◊〉 Righteousness and Merits for Spiritual Life he 〈◊〉 and for Eternal Life and Salvation with him 〈…〉 But the Gospel of Antichrist teacheth Men to rely upon their own Righteousness and Works of Merit Ay tho Works of Mischief and Darkness some of them and to expect to be saved by that in Conjunction with the Righteousness and Merits of Christ 15. Fifteenthly and Lastly To name no more the Gospel of God teacheth us to do Justice and to love Mercy and to walk Humbly with the Lord our God Mic. 6.8 He hath shewed thee O man what is good and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God But the Gospel of Antichrist teacheth men to do Injustice and to love and delight in Cruelty and Persecution and to walk loftily and to carry it proudly towards God and Mun. Thus I have shewed you in part what a vast difference there is between the Gospel of Christ which is that which we Protestants do own and believe to be the revealed Will and Word of God and ought to be the only Rule for all People to Live and Walk by and especially to Worship God by and the Gospel of Antichrist there is as much difference as there is between Light and Darkness for indeed it is even so for the Gospel of Christ is the great Light in the World it is the Light of Heaven above all other Light in the World the Light of the Sun Moon and Stars is but Darkness compared with this Light of the Gospel of God for it is the Light which comes from Heaven And the Gospel of Antichrist is the greatest Darkness in the World it springs from the utter Darkness of Hell all other Darkness is Light compared to that Now I shall finish this Discourse with three Arguments But it may be that some Persons will say They do own the Scriptures tho they do not own some Doctrines which we that are Protestants do own whom they count Hereticks and perhaps they may say That I have acknowledged it in the first Part of my Book that they do own the Scriptures why yes that is true they do own it after a sort they do by the Holy Scriptures as Clippers and Coyners do do by the Kings lawful Standard Money they take the largest fairest Money and Clip and File it away and cover over Copper and Counterfeit the Kings Stamp and shuffle it away for currant Coyn among them that cannot discern it to be so Why even so they do by the King of Kings Coyn the Holy and Sacred Scriptures they add and diminish as their seeming Interest lieth But here is what will be their Portion unless they ●●pent quickly for the Judg is at the Door Rev. 〈…〉 the words of the Prophecy of this book If any man shall add unto these things God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy City and from the things which are written in this book Deut. 4.2 Prov. 30.6 1. Now my first finshing Argument is this If any Persons deny the Satisfaction made to the Law and Justice of God by the Righteousness and Merits of Jesus Christ to be wholly and intirely sufficient of it self to justifie and acquit a Sinner of all his guilt of Sin before God then these Persons tho they pretend to own part of the Scriptures yet they do deny the whole Scriptures both of the Old and New Testament because it is the Fundamental Doctrine of Mans Salvation in both Testaments Jam. 2.10 For whosoever shall keep the whole Law and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all As partial Obedience is no Obedience so partial owning the Scripture is a denying the Scripture in Fundamentals which is to deny the whole Scripture But there are a sort of Persons that profess themselves to be Christians that do deny the Satisfaction made to the Law and Justice of God by the Righteousness and Merits of Jesus Christ to be wholly and intirely sufficient of it self to justifie and acquit a Sinner of all his guilt of Sin before God. Therefore these Persons tho they pretend to be Christians and own some part of the Scriptures yet these very Persons destroy the Essential Being of true Christianity and deny the whole Scriptures both of Old and New Testament because there is this Fundamental Doctrine of Mans Salvation in both Testaments and a partial owning of Fundamental Doctrines of
