A13855	A bryef [and] short declaracyon made, wherbye euerye chrysten man maye knowe, what is a sacrament Of what partes a sacramente consysteth and is made, for what intent sacramentes were instituted, and what is the pryncypall effect of sacramentes, [and] finally of the abuse of the sacrament of chrystes body and bloud.

lawfull Tertllian in hys bo● called prescripcions xcv leafe● for vs to Cheryshe or Fauour anye thynge of oure owne Fre wyll nor yet to chose any thyng that any other man shall brīg in hys owne wyl we haue the Apostles of the Lorde authores and Examples whych dyd not chose any thynge of ther owne Fre wyll that they wolde brynge in but dyd sett forthe that doctryne faith fullye to the nacyons whych they had receyued of Chryste Nowe I truste euery Chrysten manne maye perceaue howe oure clergy contrary to Chrystes doctryne and also practise haue abused thys mooste blessed sacrament of hys body and bloud and no lesse contrary to all the auncyent wryters as it appeareth by saynt Sipriane Sypryane to Sesyliū whyche sayth yf chryst ought onely to be hard we ought not to take hede or regard what any man before vs haue taught to be done but what he whych before al is chryst fyrst hath done nor we ought not to follow the custume of men but the truth of God Nowe chrysten Reader pondre and also wel remember that CHRIST when he Admynistred the Sacramente to hys dyscyples declared what benefyt proffit they shuld receaue by hys death which was remissyō at theyr sȳnes but our clergy whan they adminystre the sacrament to the congregatyon eyther speake so secretlye that no man heareth them or speake in suche a speache that the congregacyon vnderstand them not or els whē they adminystre they speake of theyr o●ne and not the wordes of chrystes instytucyon whych is manyfeste contrarye to chrystes instytucyon and commaundement so that euerye man / whych wel consydereth theyr doīges / cā not otherwyse Iudge them but the naturall seade of Antychryste also where chryste admynystred / he destrybuted the sacrament to all his dysciples but oure clargy receyue all the sacrament in their pryuat Masse to them selues and dystrybute it vnto none other contrarye to the practis of Chryste and of hys Appostles / ād no lesse contrary to the practyse doctrine of the pryuat Church and the most godly clarkly ancyent wryters so that I think ther is nether godly nor lerned mā that compareth the lernynge vse and practysse of Chryste / and hys Appostelles / with the lernynge vse practysse of our clargy But that he will Iudge our clargy to be the moost hatefull ennemyes of Chryste and all the chrysten Relygyon The thyrd abuse Wher I sayde ī mi third princyple / that the effecte of sacramētes was to cōforte al troubled conscyences whych be oppressed wyth the knowledge remembraunce of the sentence of Gods lawe pronoūced geuen agaynst all synners and with the inward remembraunce and consyde rasyons of the multytude and greatenes of theyr synnes and of the longe cōtynuaunce in the same so that they in remembrance of those thynges be vtterlye adacted and dryuen to extreme desperacyon for remedy wherof Chryst mooste mercyfullye and louyngly as the true bysshop of our soules which suffered al our temptacyons in hys fleshe Hibre ix that he knowyng them myght haue the more compassyon vpon vs dyd instytute and ordeine thys most blessed sacrament of hys body bloud in the admynystratyon wherof he declared and dyuulged to all the receauers therof that hys body shuld be betrayed for vs and his bloud shuld be shed for the remyssyon of theyr Synnes all thys whych he dyd to the adminystracyon of thys blessed sacrament he dyd it for cure example comaunding vs that as of ●●n as we shuld do this we shuld do it in remembraunce of him And his Appostle commaunded also that as often as we shulde receyue thys sacrament we shuld shewe the death of the lorde To shewe the death of the lorde is to declare that we through oure synnes haue deserued most Iustly eternall deathe from the whyche we be delyuered onelye thoroughe the passyon bloudshedynge and deathe of oure Lorde Iesu Chryste and by none other meanes O what comfort quyetnes / and ioye is thys to the troubled and vexed conscyence when he consydreth this inestimable Loue whych god hath shewed vnto him in thys most paynefull passyon mooste cruell and shamfull death of hys only begotten sonne and owre onlye sauyoure Iesu christe The fearfull and myserable synner can nowe Boldelye wyth greate gladnes reyoyce and saye seyng that god oure father hath gyuen vnto vs hys onlye begotten sonne for oure redempcyon we then beyng hys enemyes howe can it be possyble that he shuld not also now geue vs all thīges brīge his fryndes with hym yea doutles remyssyon of Synnes and eternall lyfe Thys comfort and yoye is taken a waye from vs by oure cleargye with whan they admynystre the Sacramente they neuer shewe the Death of the lorde suffred for oure Redempcyon not onlye hydynge and kepynge secret thys estymable Benyfytte doone for and to vs by Iesu Chryste / but also moost wyckedly conuerte and tourne the benefytte of owr redempcion to them selues declaryng the sacrament offred vppe to God by them to be a Sacryfyce whych Worke for the workes sake deserueth remyssyō of Sȳnes and eternall lyfe yf that doctryne be True then ther is no thanke to be gyuen to Chryste but to oure Pryestes whych dayly do make innumerable Sacrifyces as they saye and Thynke therbye to take a Waye and remytt Synnes Although the holye scryptures Saye / that chryste was the onlye sacryfyce for synne which offred vppe vppon the crosse ones was a suffycyente sacrifyce for euer / and the sacramente duelye Admynystred in the fourme instytuted of Chryste by the olde fathers called a sacrifice because it was a memoryall of chrystes sacrifyce not because it is in it self a sacrifice ether propiciatory or satisfactorye but onely called by the name of a sacryfyce bycause it was a memoryall therof to bryng to our remēbraunce and to prynte therein the sacryfice of Chryste ones parfectlye done and ꝑformed for vs for euer euen so the auncyent wryters call the sacrament of christes body and bloud a sacryfyce to God for twoo causes wherof I haue rehearsed the one that is to saye because it is a memoryall therof if it be duelye admynistred accordyng to chrystes instytucyon / An other cause is that we that be christes church and membres be represented and sygnyfyed in and by the sacramente for our bodyes truly mortyfyed from all lustes and concupyscence be an acceptable sacrifice to God as it apereth in the .xii. to the romaynes There Paull saythe bretheren I besech you by the mercy of god that ye exhybite youre bodyes a lyuelye and holy sacryfyce acceptable ād pleasing to GOD also Peter saythe And you as lyuynge stones be buylded a spyritual house / an holy presthode offerenge spyrytual sacrifyces / acceptable to god by Iesu Chryste also sayncte Augustyne in a sermon to yonge Chyldren sayth yf ye wyll vnderstande what is the body of Chryst heare the Appostles sayinge Ye be the body of chryst membres of membre yf therefore ye be
