A17659	A faythfull and moost godlye treatyse concernyng the most sacred Sacrament of the blessed body and bloude of our sauioure Chryst, co[m]piled by Iohn Caluyne, a man of no lesse lernyng and lytterature then godly studye, and example of liuyng. And translated into Latin by Lacius a man of lyke excellencie. And nowe last of all, translated into Englyshe by a faythfull brother, no lesse desirous to profyt the weake brotheres then to exercise the talent of the Lorde to his honoure and glorye. In declaration whereof, he hath set before this lytle booke an epistle to the reader much more effectuous then in the fyrst edicion. Whereunto the order that the churche and congregation of Christ in Denmarke doth vse at the receyuying of baptisme, the Supper of ye Lorde, and wedlocke: is added.

Iewelles the sacramentes of Christâ—s body and bloude and howe he laboureth daylye in hys members the wycked papistes to wyth holde from vs the knowledge of the spiritual eating and drynkynge of Christe whiche begynneth nowe to spreade the worlde ouer all Lette vs runne therfore vnto oure present and onelye succour in thys greate daunger To Christe I saye let vs runne moste humbly besekyng him oure Sauiour and redeamer plenteouslye to poure out of his spirite of knowledge vpon vs all that we maye daylye more and more fynde out the hydde and secrete abhominacions to the vtter extirpacion and rowtyng out of the same And in the meane tyme let vs pray to gyther that it may please the Lorde to augment the nuÌ„bre of his faythful tournynge Saules in to Paules that the harde hertes may be molified by hearing the persecutours preach Christ whom they persecuted The spirite of truth be wyth you al. So be it It is the spirite that quyckeneth the fleshe profiteth nothynge at all Iohn svi FOr as moche as the most holye supper of our lorde Iesu Christ hath of longe tyme ben lapped vp in manyfold and great errours and euen of late dayes wrapped in many opinions and contentions nothynge so quiet as was besemyng no meruayle thoughe certayue weake conscienced persones can not wel determyne what thynge they ought chyflye to folowe but do wyth indeferente and suspense mynde loke whan the seruauntes of God settinge all contention a parte shall agree amonge them selues and brynge the matter to some concorde and vnitie And seynge that such kynde of doubte hath no smal incommoditye annexed and that it is a thyngee mooste dayngerouse to haue no certayne determinacion of that mistrye the knowledge wherof is so necessarye to our saluation I haue thought it a thynge moste profytable bryeflye to spake of the chiefe sume of the matter and yet playnlye to declare what thynge we oughte chyeflye to sticke vnto therin More ouer certayne honeste men perceyuynge the matter to require no lesse desyred me earnestly to take it in hande whose requeste I coulde by no meanes denye vnlesse I wolde haue bene slake in doynge my dutye And that the difficultie therof may the more easely be opened it is neadfull to declare what order we intende to folowe herein Fyrst I shall declare for what cause and to what ende the Lorde hath instituted this most holye sacramente Then what â—ruite we take therof and herein I wyll declare howe the bodye of Chrystâ— is geuen vs in it Thyrdlye what is the ryght vse therof Forthlye I shall reherse the erroures and superslicions wherby it hath ben defaced and so wyll I declare howe the seruauntes of God ought to differ from the papistes Finallye I wyll declare the originall of that contencion whiche hath ben so ernestlye mayntayned euen of the same men whyche in our time haue applied al theyr studye to bring the gospel to lyght agayne to replenish againe the congregatioÌ„ and to restore the syncere and pure doctryne As concernynge the Fyrste When it pleased the almyghty oure God by baptisme to chose vs into the coÌ„gregation that is to saye into his house whyche he wyll nouryshe and defende and that he hath receyued vs not onely as houshold seruauntes but also as his chyldren it behoueth hym yf he wyl playe the parte of a good father to bringe vs vp ministrynge vnto vs all thynges necessarye to foode and clothynge But as concernynge the thinges that pertayne to the educacion of the bodye bycause they be common to all men so that as well the euyl persones as y â— good be partakers therof they are not to be taken as for thynges appertaynyng to his houshould onely No doubt in that he feadeth and defendeth our bodies and whiles we be partakers of al those good thinges which he most pleÌ„teously and liberally geueth vs is declared a great tokeÌ„ of his fatherâ—y goodnes towarde vs. But in lyke maner as the lyfe wherin he hath regenerate vs is spiâ—ituall so is it neadfull that the meate wherwith we should be susteyned streÌ„gthed be alâ—o spiritual For we muste vnderstande y â— we are not called to possesse the celestiall inheriâ—aunce in tyme to come onely but y â— throughe â—ope we are in maner set in possession therof â—l ready So y â— he hath not onely promised vs lyfe but delyueringe vs from death he hath al ready ledde vs into it in very dede And thys thinge opteyned we wheÌ„ he begate vs a newe wyth the sede of immortalitie y â— is to saye his worde whiche through the holy goste he hath prynted fastened in our hertes That we ther fore may defende susteyne this lyfe we must not seke y â— caducal corriptible meates wherwith the bealy is fed but we must prouide for our soules much better more excellent foode And the whole scripture witnesseth y â— the selfe same wordes wherby the lorde hath begotten vs a new is y â— spiritual bread wherby our soules are susteined fedde the reasone is this by cause in it Christ our onely life is giueÌ„ ministred vnto vs. For when god would that al abundance of lyfe shoulde remayne in Christ to the intent y â— by hym he myght make vs partakars therof he ordayned the worde also wherby Christ all his mercyes myght be ministred vnto vs. Thys sentence therfore is infallibly true that our soules are fed nourished wyth none other foode then Iesu Christ. Wherfore the heauenly father being careful for our educacion gaue vs none other foode yea rather he committed thys vnto vs singularly And for as muche as it is sufficient ynoughe for the recreacion and sustenaunce of our soules he wyllâ—d vs to content oure selues therewith and that our soules shoulde rest tâ—gether therin bycause we maye by no meanes be with out that foode whyche beynge taken awaye none other can be founde Nowe do we perceyue after what sort Christe is y â— onely foode wherwyth our soules be seddâ—â—â—ut bycause he is distributed vnto vs by the worde of y â— lorde as by the instrument appoynted for the same purpose he is named breade and wyne And that whyche is spoken of the worde appertayneth also to the sacrament of the supper wherby the Lorde leadeth vs vnto the partakyng of Christ. For because we be so weake and feble that we can not wyth vnfayned trust of mynde receyue hym when he is offred vnto vs in the bare preachyng of the doctrine the father of mercye wyllyng to accommodate hym selfe vnto our infimitie therin hath ioyned vnto the worde a signe to be sene with the eyes whereby he myght represent vnto vs the very substance of his promesses that al doubt and wauerynge taken awaye we myght be coÌ„fyrmed and strengthened in hym Seynge therfore thys misterye is hyghe and harde to attayne to and that we can not by witte comprehende or by studye vnderstaÌ„de howe the bodye and bloude of Christe maye be
