Paul teacheth let euery man examin himselfe and so let him eate of the breade and drynke of the cuppe c. Cor xi Wherfore we are constrayned to saye goodnyght to all hye disputaciō where throw diuisiō commeth desyring the lord alwayes that we myght be found worthy receauers of it according to the lordes commaundement ¶ This holy supper hath our sauiour Iesus christ left behind him vnder Luk. xxii bread and wine saying take and eate this is my body whych is geuē for you this do in the remembraūce of me In whiche holye Supper is declared vnto vs. Fyrst the vnsearchable fauoure and loue of our lorde Iesus Christ which is come in this world not to cōdempne the world but that the worlde throwe hym myght be saued Io. iii. O wonderful loue of god he hath sent no Angel no Patriarke nor prophet Ro. viii he is come him selfe in the simulitude of synfull fleshe Ye he which knew no synne made himselfe to be sinne for vs that we by hys meanes shuld be that righteousnes whyche before god is alowed not that christ is any suche synne that be farre He was that Lambe without spot whiche did do synne ii Cor. v. Exo. xii i. pet ii neyther was there gile foūde in his mouth Esay liii but he was that frewilling offring for synne as Esay as sayeth he was wonded for our offences and smittē for our wickednes he is offred for so it hath pleased him therfore is he called sin that is an offering for synne O almyghtiful god who can kepe in secrete the vnmeasurable grace mercy declared vpon vs Ro. viii miserable synners but must breake out and cōfesse the afore the whole worlde with mouthe and worke lyfe and soule Saynt Paul teacheth that god spared not hys owne sonne Ro. v but gaue him for vs all yea whylle we were yet synners and vngodlye Christe dyed for vs the righteous for the vnrighteouse ye the vndefiled offer lame is brente throwe the glowynge fyer of loue vpon the Iebett of the crosse yea the creatoure of all creatures is broken frome aboue to beneth yea he that is farer then the chyldren of men hath neyther bewty nor fauour he is dispised and abhored of al men yea he is suche a man as full of sorowe Psal lv and as one that hath good experyence of infyrmytes yea he is rekened amonge the transgressors the innocent must beare the hole falte of Adam as the Prophet sayeth I paid them the thynge that I neuer toke All this hath our sauyour declared vnto vs not throw our deseruynge but as Saynte Paule learneth the kyndnes and loue of our sauyoure god to man warde apered not by the dedes of ryghteousnes whiche we wrought but accordyng to his mercy he saued vs Esay l iii. for ther was no grace Psal xl ix nor mercy nor no remyssion of synnes by the father vnto the tyme that our sauiour Iesu Chryst hade taken vpon hym the synnes of the worlde Titus .iii. For as by one mans dysobedyence many became synners so by the obedyente of one shal manye be made ryghteous Nowe for asmuche as when he was in the shape of God Roma v Phelip .ii. made him selft of no reputacyon goen out of hym selfe and wher he was immortall is be come mortall takinge vpon hym the shape of a seruaunte to the intent that he myght serue vs al and was founde in hys apperell as a man very fleshe and bloud and in all thynges lyke vnto his brethren Luke .ii. Iohan .i. Hebre. ii Phelip .ii. sauynge synne he humbled hym selfe and became obedyent vnto his father vnto death euen the deathe of the Crosse throwe whiche death it pleased the father that in hym shulde all fulnes dwell and by hym to reconcile all thinges to him selfe and to set at peace by him throw the bloude of his Crosse both thinges in heauen and thynges in earth and is become an offerynge and sacryfyce of swete sauour to god his dearly beloued father Colo i. This is frutefully declared vnto vs in this holy Supper namely throw that breade that fleshe that he hathe geuen for vs Ephe. vi Mar. xiiii and throwe the Cuppe that bloud whiche he shede for manye for the remyssyon of synnes and shall be vnto vs a remembraunce tyll he come Nowe bycause that it is a comē vse that a token of remembraunce hath the name of the thing that is remēbred by it Luke .xxii. Therfore hathe Chryste called the breade hys bodye and the wyne his bloude not that he is in substance in breade and wyne i. Cor. ii Exod. xii but that we shulde remember hym there by Lykewyse as the Easter Lambe was called the passynge by and yet was it not in it selfe the very passīg by but a token of remembraunce of the passinge by Seynge nowe that the Earster lambe hath the name of the thyng that the Israelites remembred by it and wherby they myght euerlastingly kepe in remembraunce the benefytes of god therfore it is conuenyent that Chryst called the breade hys bodye and the vyne hys bloude because that we shulde remember therby his death and passiō yea the onely sacrifyce of his bodye whiche he hathe suffered to be broken and his bloude to be shede for vs not ●hat the materyall bodye of Chryst is in the bread nor his bloud in the vyne Yet neuertheles is the supper of our Lorde a partakynge spiritually of the bodye and bloude of Chryste i. Colo x. as Sainte Paule saieth is not the cuppe of thankes gyuing wherwyth we gyue thankes a pertakinge of the bloud of Chryst and the breade that we breake is it not the partaking of the bodye of christ and to the intente that this
any man gyue let hym do it with synglenes let hym that rewleth do it with diligēce If anye man shewe mercye let hym do it wyth cherfulnes and let loue be amonge you wythoute dyssimulation i. Cor. vii and euerye man abyde in the same state wherin he is called no nother wyse than to the edifyenge of the bodye of Chryste whyche is hys congregation Ephe. iiii And thus is this holy Supper of oure Lorde Fyrste a remembraunce of the death of our Sauiour Iesus Christe whiche he suffred for vs i. Petre. ii throw which deathe we ar al reconciled Secondarlye it is an instruction of the pure cleane vndefyled loue whych is amonge the congregation of god lyke as I haue declared afore as the breade is made of manye Cornes and is one bread and as the Wyne is made of manye Grapes and yet is one wine so are we many mēbers and but one bodye whiche is christ My dearly beloued in Christ Iesu let euery man se earnestly to and proue himselfe accordynge to saynt Paules learnynge that he come not to the table of the Lorde bicause that it hathe bene so accustomed eyther throwe fayned holynes or desyre of worldly honour or disceat but oute of a pure cleane and vndefyled hart and so eate of the bread and drinke of the cuppe for he that eateth or drynkethe it vnworthylye eateth drynketh his owne damnaciō For al they that wyl come sit at the lords Table Mat. v. vi they must be founde faythful mercyful louynge kynde pytyfull and obedyente wythout diuision wythout hatred wythout pride wythout couetousnes that wicked eye muste be plucked out that flesh muste be mortyfyed that euell hearynge eare stopped that clattering tounge tamed that fleshelye harte cyrcumsiced youre blouddy handes clensed your belyes measured and your fete compelled wyth the Lords word ye must haue afrewilling batayll agaynste the Deuel Vide quales erunt qui mense erunt perticipes the world and the fleshe that ye may be able to resyste in the euyll daye and stande perfecte in all thinges that is in the wyll of God youre loynes muste be girded wyth truthe hauynge on the breaste plate of ryghteousnes hauynge shoes on your feit that ye maye be prepared for the Gospell of peace He must be well veaponed wyth the shylde of fayth wherwith he maye quence all the fyery dartes of Sathan Ephe. vi he must haue on the helmet of saluacyon and be gyrded with the swerd of the sprete which is the worde of god he must be a mēber serueable and prophetable accordīg to his power he must be mynded lyke vnto oure sauyoure Iesus Chryst as he was what time he kepe this holye supper or communyō with his derely beloued brethren He toke breade and wyne and gaue thankes gaue it to his disciples sayde this is my bodye and my bloude whiche is broken for youe herewyth declarynge his godly loue vide beneficia christi erga nos fauoure and mercy vpon his derely beloued brethren euen as though he would say my derely beloued chyldren so farre hath youre loue led me and your fauoure drawen me that I haue forsaken the dominyon of my heauenly father and hathe taken vpon me to be come youre seruaunte to serue you in all thynges Ezech. xxx iiii Hebre. ii bycause I saye that ye were all as scattered shepe goynge astraye Psa xxiii and that there was no man that sought youe but that ye were all meate to the grypinge and ryuenge wolues and that there was no man to delyuer youe Ezech xvi But that ye were wonded vnto death that there was no man to playster you Luke x.
