A05611	The ansvver of Iohn Bastwick, Doctor of Phisicke, to the exceptions made against his Letany by a learned gentleman which is annexed to the Letany it selfe, as articles superadditionall against the prelats. In the vvhich there is, a full, demonstration and proof of the reall absence of Christ in the sacrament of the Lords Supper, with the vanity and impiety of the consecreation of temples churches and chapples, also the necessity of the perpetuall motion and circulation of worship if men be bound to bow the knees at the name of Iesus. This is to follow the Letany as a second part thereof.; Litany. Part 2	Bastwick, John, 1593-1654.	1637 (1637)	STC 1573; ESTC S104507	58,802	32

usheringin_n of_o this_o piece_n of_o service_n he_o have_v no_o better_a instrument_n than_o antichrist_n that_o oppose_v christ_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o his_o shaveling_n the_o prelate_n who_o

to_o do_v what_o he_o their_o king_n by_o life_n doctrine_n and_o example_n have_v teach_v his_o church_n which_o equal_o bind_v but_o antichrist_n and_o his_o servant_n constrain_v the_o people_n to_o leave_v christ_n example_n and_o teach_v they_o to_o follow_v he_o which_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n which_o i_o think_v be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o such_o as_o fear_v the_o lord_n to_o

here_o the_o apostle_n begin_v from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o institution_n say_v the_o same_o night_n and_o in_o the_o 20_o verse_n he_o call_v it_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o call_v it_o also_o

far_o as_o i_o can_v perceive_v or_o judge_v unto_o the_o world_n end_n neither_o can_v i_o see_v any_o reason_n why_o the_o time_n shall_v be_v change_v without_o we_o will_v plain_o confess_v that_o christ_n have_v do_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o season_n and_o order_n and_o be_v neither_o reverend_a nor_o seasonable_a nor_o orderly_a in_o his_o proceed_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o institution_n and_o celebration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o his_o gesture_n please_v not_o before_o which_o be_v more_o than_o a_o little_a arrogancy_n so_o to_o speak_v yet_o i_o say_v except_o man_n will_v so_o vilify_v the_o action_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n i_o know_v no_o cause_n why_o the_o time_n shall_v be_v change_v for_o as_o the_o passeover_n be_v institute_v in_o the_o evening_n so_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n precise_o observe_v the_o time_n never_o be_v so_o impudent_a and_o temerarious_a as_o to_o alter_v it_o but_o it_o be_v continue_v so_o unto_o the_o last_o use_n of_o it_o as_o by_o christ_n own_o example_n be_v sufficent_o manifest_a and_o yet_o i_o presume_v there_o may_v as_o good_a reason_n have_v be_v give_v for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o time_n in_o the_o celebrate_n of_o that_o ordinance_n among_o the_o jew_n as_o can_v now_o by_o any_o man_n be_v give_v and_o yet_o the_o israelit_n be_v not_o

antichrist_n that_o change_v time_n &_o season_n and_o all_o thing_n and_o his_o disciple_n that_o oppose_v christ_n in_o all_o his_o ordinance_n they_o have_v change_v the_o time_n and_o convert_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n into_o a_o breakfast_n a_o great_a innovation_n and_o make_v it_o no_o small_a offence_n to_o celebrate_v it_o in_o the_o evening_n so_o that_o now_o to_o speak_v proper_o it_o can_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n supper_n but_o the_o lord_n break_v fast_o and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o they_o indeed_o for_o they_o eat_v up_o the_o lord_n at_o a_o breakfast_n and_o

and_o real_o and_o then_o after_o that_o they_o drink_v up_o his_o blood_n most_o sweet_a canabal_n and_o after_o all_o this_o they_o can_v eat_v a_o sufficeint_a dinner_n too_o these_o fellow_n must_v needs_o have_v good_a stomach_n but_o by_o all_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o antichrist_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v ever_o oppose_v christ_n in_o his_o proceed_n be_v they_o what_o

from_o one_o of_o great_a name_n for_o scholarship_n but_o for_o answer_v i_o say_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o passeover_n be_v to_o be_v celebrate_v in_o every_o private_a family_n by_o
