bloud Fayn wold our catholiques haue theyr masse sacryfyce to be authorysed founded vpon gods wrytten worde but it wolde not be I beseche the what enforceth the alledged text of Paul to the maynteyning of prestes sacrifice Verely nothing at al. For why it talketh only of the Aaroni cal ordre of priesthode as it doth well appere by this the after sayinge of Paul let no man take vnto hym honoure he meaneth the foresayde priestehode wythoute he bee called of God there too as Aaron was and compareth thee offyce of thee sayde priestehode wyth Chrystes as it is ryghte euydente by thys thee nexte after speache whych begynneth in sort thus Euen so lykewyse Chryste etc. And he speaking but of the leuiticall priesthode oughte in nowyse too be vnderstande of oure masse presthode according to the generall rule Eche man sayinge must be takeÌ„ after the entended entreated matter Well though the foresayd allegatioÌ„ of Paul were to be construed of oure Christian priesthode of our christian pâ—iestes Howbeit it oughte so too be takeÌ„ that it implieth nomore one christiaÌ„ theÌ„ another nomore the spiritual theÌ„ the leameÌ„ notwithstanding some be ecclesiastical ministers whyche other be not according to this saying of peter ye be a kingly presthod But beyt ther be certayn allotted chosen to a special sort of presthode i. Pet. ii whyche the remnaunte of Christians be not allotted to Iet shuld the heretofore alledged scripture argue nothiÌ„g for theÌ„ By reasoÌ„ it entreateth of soch prestes who ar wonted to offre not one gyft but many diuers not one sacrifice but sondre and theÌ„ to the ful contentation of syn oure made priestes offre but one gyfte yf they offer that but one sacryfyce and not dyuers and that not to the satisfaction and purging of synne but for a thankesgeuing as our Catholiques theÌ„ selue now at the last acknowledge Yet thee sayde Catholiques replye for ther said sacrifice in sort thus Christ sayd to his apostels as Luke .xxii. maketh hereof report Thys do for my remeÌ„braunce which thys his saying autoryseth theÌ„ to sacrifyce christis body and bloud as he him selue had theÌ„ done at his supper This theyr replicationis nothing effectual or true Was not S. Paul an apostle not of that basest but hyghest sort howbeit he dyd not vnderstaÌ„d the sayd sayinge of christ after that sort For he spoke the very selue same to thou vnprested CorinthiaÌ„s i. Cori. xi and the not of his owne hede but by the motion of the lord I haue sayth he receyued of the lord Which I haue delyuered you wherby it doth wel appeare that it is not onelye Paules but the lordes also consequently al his apostles mynde that thys hys sayinge do thys in my remeÌ„braunce is spoken aswel to the vnprested as to the prested christians By reason whereof yf th one be through the sayd speche autorysed to sacryfyce christ is body the other is in lyke maner If the one be not the other sorte can not be In respect wherof our Catholiques acknowledging the vnprested not to be autorised throughe the sayd speach auctorysed to sacrifice christes bodi thother is in lyke maÌ„er If th one be not thother sorte cane not bee In recspecte whereof oure Catholyques acknowledgynge thee vnpreysted not to bee auctorysed thoroughe the aboue alledged scrypture to offre Christes bodye and bloud muste no remedye graunte thee preystede not to be lycenced by the sayd scripture to sacrifice the same Thys partecle thys in thys chrystes sayenge thys dooe in my remembraunce as it is a ê“nouÌ„e relatyue so demonstratyue therfor reporteth declareth respecteth hys antecedent whyche was not to sacryfyce hys body wherof he forspoke neuer word ne did anye thing coÌ„cerniÌ„g the same but onely the thaÌ„kful receipt eating of his body drynkyng of hys bloude ther purposeli meÌ„cioned Which ymplie no maner sacrificing of the same at al This is grauÌ„ted of all meÌ„ aswell of the catholiques as the protestantes as a trueth most vndoubted that the laye vnpriested maÌ„ receaueth the coÌ„munyon vnworthely what tyme soeuer he take it not recording therwyth the precyous death of the lorde But howe could the sayd maÌ„ receaue that sayde coÌ„munion vnworthely for his receypte therof wythout myndefulnes of christes passion death yf for to so take it were not a punishable defaulte For why the vnworthenes herein issueth from synne alone But how were it synne yf it were not directly repugnaunte agaynst Goddes oppen commauÌ„demente For there is noo synne whych is not a breach therof But what commaundemente is there for the laye men to remeÌ„bre christes deathe at theyr receypte of the of his supper yf thys do in my remeÌ„braunce be not it yf it touche theÌ„ not Certaynly none By reason wherof nedes must we recognise acknowledge eyther that the vnprested ê‘sons receyue not vnworthely the sayd sacramente when they take it in forgetfulnes and syleÌ„ce of christes passion whiche is nothing grauÌ„table eyther els that this saying of christ this do in my remeÌ„braunce coÌ„cerneth chargeth the sayd persons aswel as the prestes whych is ryght certeyn In coÌ„sideratioÌ„ wherof this do in my remeÌ„brauÌ„ce purporteth not to sacrifice christ in hys remeÌ„braunce but to recorde declare opeÌ„ly hys death as Paul sayth who exponeth the sayd saying 〈◊〉 11. in thys wyse As oft as ye eate thys bread drinke thys cup ye shall show the death of the lorde tyl he come Yet are not oure Catholiques contented but further they procede in theyr replial We haue an aulter wherof they may not eate whych serue thee tabernacle Here saye they Paule meanethe thus They who kepe the ceremonyes of Moyses lawe haue none authoritie to eat of christes bread hys very body coÌ„secrated offered in sacryfyce on the aulter whiche we christeÌ„ men haue set vp in our teÌ„ples If Paul had not meaned this he wold haue made noo meÌ„tion of an aulter whych is made for sacrifice to be offered therupon to God See good reder how foule deceyued be the herfore named persoÌ„s Is it not ryght euydeÌ„t that Paul speaketh of an eateable aultar We haue an aultare saythe he wherof they maye not eate He◠〈◊〉 not of thee masse stone aulter whych is not eatable If yâ— sayd aultare were to be takeÌ„ for a stone aultar Then were they who trusted in the ceremoniall lawe in better case then we Christians be For that they moughte not wee must eat the sayd aulter TheÌ„ shuld Christes body bloud th one haue bene eateÌ„ thother dronking in Paules tyme at the aultare not at the table 1.
