Christ saith When they tell you here is Christ and there is Christ beleeue them not So when they tell you that Christ is in heauen and that Christ is in earth in this place and that place beleeue them not for Elias ascention was a figure of Christs ascention when Elias was ascended yet some sought for his body vpon earth so though christ bee ascended yet many seeke his body vpoÌ„ earth but as they could not finde Elias bodie so these can not finde Christs bodie although they haue sought 300. yeares But if his bodie were vppon earth as they say should wee handle it and touch it now it is glorified After his resurrection he sayd to Mary Touch me not because his bodie was glorified that is not to bee touched with fingers any more but with faith Therefore wee reade of none which touched his bodie after it was risen but onely Thomas to setle his faith Thus you see we need to suborn no witnesses for euerie worde in this text which they alleage for Transubstanciation doth make against Transubstanciation whereby if Antichrist doth signifie theÌ„ which are against Christ you see who may be called Antichrist There is no question in Poperie except Purgatorie the Popes publican tasker about which the Papists are at such ciuill warres among themselues as about this Transubstanciation They cannot tell when the chaunge beginneth nor what manner of chaunge it is nor how long the change continueth some hang one way and some an other like the Midianites which fought one against another And no meruaile though their consciences stagger about it for to shewe you the right father of it it was one of the dreames of Innocentius the 3. in the yeare of our Lord 1215. so many yeares passed before TransubstanciatioÌ„ was named and then a Pope set it first on foote so it came out of Rome the grandame of all heresies and for want of Scriptures hath been defended with fire and sword and swallowed more Martirs than all the gulfes of the Papall sea beside Now when the doctrines of men goe for scripture you shall see how many errours rush into the Church for graunt but this to Innocentius as the Papists doe that the bread and wine are changed into Christes bodie First it will follow that Christes bodie is not ascended vp to heauen because it remaineth vppon earth and so one of the articles of our faith shall be falsified which saith He is ascended into heauen or if he be ascended and descended againe an other article will be falsified which saith that he sitteth at the right hand of his father that is as Peter saith he abideth in heauen Secondly it will follow that Christ hath not a true body but a fantasticall body because it may be in many places at one time for if his body be in the Sacrament he must needes haue so many bodies as there be Sacraments nay he must haue so many bodies as there be bits in euery sacrament Thirdly it will followe that his body is diuided from his soule and consequently is a dead body because the bread is only changed into his body and not into his soule Fourthly it wil follow that the wicked and prophane and reprobat may receiue Christ as well as the godly because they haue a mouth to eate as well as the best Fiftly it will follow that Christes sacrifice once for all was not sufficient because we must sacrifice him againe and breake his body and shead his bloud as the Iewes crucified him vppon the Crosse. Sixtly it wil follow that the bread being turned into the body of our redeemer hath a part in our redemption as well as Christ. Seauenthly it will follow that Christ did eate his owne body for all the Fathers say that he did eate the same bread which he gaue to his Disciples Lastly it will follow that a Massing Priest shall be the creator of his creator because he makes him which made him all these absurdities are hatched of Transubstantiation Thus when men deuise articles of their owne while they strike vpon the handuill the sparkes flie in their face and they are like the man which began to builde and could not finish it When I see the Papists in so many absurdities for intertaining one error mee thinkes he seemeth like a Collier which is grimed with his owne coales Therfore as in manners we should thinke of Peters saying Whether is it meete to obey GOD or men So in doctrines wee should thinke whether it be meete to beleeue God or meÌ„ Thus you haue heard the author of this SacrameÌ„t the Lord Iesus the time when it was instituted in the night that he was betraied the manner how it was instituted after thankes giuing the ende why it was instituted for a remembrance of his death and the discouerie of Transubstanciation one of the last heresies which Babylon hatched Now they which haue been Patrons of it before should do like the father and mother of an Idolater that is lay the first hand vpoÌ„ him to end his life Thus I end Think what account ye shall giue of that ye haue heard In this Sermon leafe C. section 11. lin 3. for he spake them reade he spake to them A Treatise of the Lords Supper The second Sermon 1. Cor. 11. vers 25 26 27 28. 25 After the same manner also he tooke the cup when he had supped saying This cup is the New Testament in my bloud this doo as oft as ye drinke it in remembrance of me 26 For as often as ye shall eate this bread and drinke this cup ye shew the Lords death till he come 27 Wherefore whosoeuer shall eate this bread and drinke the cup of the Lord vnworthelie shall be giltie of the bodie and bloud of the Lord. 28 Let a man therefore examine himselfe and so let him eate of this bread and drinke of this cup. HEre I am to speake of the second seruice as it were at the Lords Table of that preparation which is like the Wedding garment that euerie man must bring vnto this banquet These words are diuersly repeated of the Euangelists Heere it is sayd This cup is the new testament in my bloud In Mathew and in Marke it is sayd This cup is my bloud of the new testament This is the first mention which Christ makes of a Testament as though now his promises deserued the name of a Testament because the seale is set vnto them which before this Sacrament was not sealed but like a bare wrighting without a signet This word Testament doth imply a promise and therefore teacheth vs that the Sacrament doth confirme strengthen and nourish our faith because it sealeth the promise which wee should beleeue Heere is to be noted that Christ doth not only speake of a Testament but he calleth it a new Testament which words neuer met together before as

chaine at last they learne to goe together because they may not goe a sunder As nothing might part friends But if thine eye offend thee pull it cut that is if thy friend bee a tempter so nothing may dissolue Marriage but Fornication which is the breach of Marriage for Marriage is ordained to auoid Fornication and therefore if the condition bee broken the obligation is voide And beside so long as all her children are his children she must needes be his wife because the father and mother are man wife but when her children are not his children she seemes no more to be his wife but the others whose children she beares and therefore to be diuorsed from him In all the old Testament we reade of no diuorce betweene any which sheweth that they liued chaster thaÌ„ we yet no doubt this lawe was better executed amoÌ„gst theÌ„ than amoÌ„gst vs. Such a care God hath had in al ages callings to prouide for theÌ„ which liue honestly for Diuorcement is not instituted for the carnall but for the chast least they should bee tied to a plague while they liue As for the Adulterer and Adulteresse he hath assigned death to cut them off least their breath should infect others Thus he which made Marriage did not make it vnseparable for then Mariage were a seruitude But as Christ saith of the Sabaoth The Sabaoth was made for man that is for the benefite of man and not for the hinderance of man so Marriage was made for man that is for the honour of man and not for the dishonour of man but if Marriage should turne to Fornication and when it is turned to Fornication there might be no separation then Marriage were not for the honour of man but for the trouble and griefe and dishonour of man Therefore now ye haue heard how Diuorcement is appoynted for a remedie of Fornication if any bee ashamed of this phisicke let them bee more ashamed of the disease Because I haue spoken more than you can remember if you aske me what is most needfull to beare away In my opinion there is one saying of Paule which is the profitablest sentence in all the Scripture for Man and Wife to meditate often and examine whether they finde it in themselues as they doo in other least their Marriage turne to sinne which should further them in godlinesse In the 1. Cor. 7. 32. it is sayd The vnmaried man careth for the things of the Lord how he may please the Lord but he that is married careth for the things of the world how he may please his wife Likewise The vnmaried woman careth for the things of the Lord how she may bee holy but she that is married careth for the things of the world how she may please her Husband As though their pleasing of God were now turned all to pleasing one another and their carnall loue had eaten their spiritual loue as the leane kine deuoured the fat Therefore it followeth in the next words This I speake for your commoditie As though there were great commoditie in remembring this watch word All men haue not the feeling of Gods worde or els such a sentence might bee an anchor to all which are married to stay them when any temptation goeth about this chaunge which Paule feared euen in them which seared God before If thou haue read all this booke and art neuer the better yet catch this flower before thou goe out of the garden and peraduenture the sent thereof will bring thee backe to smell the rest As the corps of Hazael made the passengers to stand so I haue placed this senteÌ„ce in the doore of thy passage to make thee stande and consider what thou doest before thou marriest For this is the scope and operation of it to call the minde to a solemne meditation and warne him to liue in Marriage as in a temptation which is like to make him worse than he was as the Marriage of Iehoram did if he vse not Iobs preseruatiue to bee ielous ouer all his life The alluremeÌ„ts of beautie the troubles about riches the charges of children the losses by seruants the vnquietnes of neighbours crie vnto him that hee is entered into the hardest vocation of all other and therefore they which haue but nine yeares prentiship to make them good Mercers or Drapers haue nineteene yeares before Mariage to learne to bee good Husbands and Wiues as though it were a trade of nothing but Mysteries and had neede of double time ouer all the rest Therefore so often as you thinke vppon this saying thinke whether you bee examples of it and it will waken you and chide you and leade you a straight path like the Angell which led the seruant of Abraham Thus I haue chalked the way to prepare you vnto Marriage as the Leuites prepared their brethren to the Passeouer Remember that this day ye are made one and therefore must haue but one will And now the Lord Iesus in whome ye are contracted knit your harts together that ye may loue one another like Dauid and Ionathan and goe before you in this life like the Starre which went before the Gentiles that yee may begin and proceede and end in his glorie To whom be all glorie for euer Amen FINIS A Treatise of the Lords Supper in two Sermons Imprinted at London by Thomas Orwin for Thomas Man dwelling in Paternoster row at the signe of the Talbot 1591. A Treatise of the Lords Supper in two Sermons The first Sermon 1. Cor. 11. 23 24. The Lord Iesus in the night that he was betraied tooke bread And when he had giuen thankes he brake it and said Take eate this is my bodie which is broken for you this doo ye in remembrance of me THE Word the Sacraments are the two breasts wherwith our mother dooth nurse vs. Seeing euerie one receiueth and fewe vnderstand what they receiue I thought it the necessariest doctrine to preach of the Sacrament which is a witnesse of Gods promises a remembrance of Christs death and a seale of our adoption therefore Christ hath not instituted this Sacrament for a fashion in his Church to touch and feele and see as we gaze vpon pictures in the windowes but as the woman which had the bloodie issue touching the hemme of Christs garment drewe vertue from Christ himselfe because she beleeued So Christ would that wee touching these signes should drawe vertue from himselfe that is al the graces which these signes represent Therefore as the Leuits vnder the Lawe were bound to prepare their brethren before they came to the Passeouer so Preachers of the Gospell should prepare their brethren before they come to the Supper of the Lord. For which purpose I haue chosen this place to the Corinthians which is the cleerest and fullest declaration of this Sacrament in all the Scripture The Lord Iesus in the night c. The
