And therefore sends all from his Supper dry Except Masse-Priests who drinke the wine onely To Christs dishonour his guests discontents Who neither love dry feasts nor Sacraments When Lords allow wine for all guests to drinke All will those lewde presumptuous Servants think Who dare eclipse their liberality And send their guests away from Supper dry Thus Rome deales with her Lord Christs guests I feare She will one day for this affront pay deare If any urge That Moses anciently In cases of Divorce did really Dispence with Gods owne Law Therefore Popes may The Sacred Cup from Lay-men take away I rejoyne Moses did not this thing by His owne meere power and Authority But by expresse Command from God which we In sundry Texts upon record yet see But Popes have no command from Christ to take Away the Cup see then their grosse mistake And absur'd argument Moses say they By Gods Command did let men put away Their wives in certaine cases contrary To the first law of Marriage formerly Enacted therefore Popes without command From Christ by their owne might may countermand Christs Institutions and quite take away His Cup from people who are meerely Lay. A grosse inconsequent But if that I Grant Moses by his owne authority Did this which is not true yet Popes must next Prove their power as great as his from some Text And that this cause of divorce arbitrary At mens free choyce and practised onely By few is just the same with Popes taking The Cup by force from all Lay-men which thing Sith they can no wayes prove they must confesse Their wicked error theft and it redresse But Romes Popes here object this precept was Given to Priests alone who in the Masse Still drinke the Cup not unto Lay-men I To this evasion shall first thus reply That if Drinke ye ALL of it were spoke to Th' Apostles onely as Priests not Lay so Likewise must Take eate this is my body Be spoken to and meant of Priests onely Since both were spoke to the same men at the Same time and this word All we clearely see Omitted in the Breads delivery And exprest in this of the Cup onely Will this enforce which if true then you may As well the Bread as Cup now take away From all Lay-men and so deprive them quite Of the Lords Supper Bread Wine Priests sole right Lay-men have right to both kinds else to nether Rome must then keepe back or give both together But was it spoke to Priests onely why then Doth Rome deny as well as to Lay-men The Cup to Priests who doe not consecrate And by Trents Acts leave them in Lay-mens state Christ onely hallow'd by consent of all The bread and wine at first and did not call Any of his Disciples to assist Him in the consecration yet then Christ Sayd to them Drinke ye all of this and they All dranke thereof as in Marke read you may It s then against Christs precept practise to Deny the Cup to such Priests as you doe Or unto any who communicate Since Christ words to all such alike relate But how knowes Rome that at this Sacrament When first ordain'd none but Priests were present The Twelve were present but than they onely Were there no Text doth prove infallibly But grant it true they did not receive then As Priests Apostles but as Christian men And members of Christs body Church which they There represented else no Priests nor Lay Men any ground had to receive the bread Or wine at all ●●th Christs words related Onely to the Apostles then present To whom he spake and gave the Sacrament Since therefore they first received bread and wine In this sense onely as all grant define Then all Lay men have as good Title right Unto the Cup as any Jesuite Pope Priest or Prelate Nor can Rome say they Receive them as they were Priests but as Lay. For Rome resolved hath in Trents Councill That the Apostles were not made Priests till After the consecration and the bread No sacred Cup to them delivered And that by vertue of these words Doe this In remembrance of me which they say is The ground and forme of her new Sacrament Of Orders Priesthood Then by Romes assent Not being Priests till these words uttered They were Laymen whom they first receiv'd The Bread Wine since Paul addes Christ sayd This doe In my remembrance after the Cup too Which clause if it makes Masse-priests all shall be Created such Priests who receive which she Cannot gaine say since all men equally Must take the bread and wine in memory Of Christ and DOE THIS in as ample wise As any Masse-priests whence this will arise That all receivers are Priests and therefore None must be kept from the cup any more Adde Paul C●rists words applyeth equally To all Receivers Priests or Laity And makes the Cup as common unto all As is the bread Hence he is generall Of the faithfull Jewes writes that they did eate ALL as we doe the same spirituall meate And did ALL DRINKE the SAME spirituall drink For they dranke of the Rocke Christ If you think This proofe not full enough he writes to all The Church of Corinth Saints in generall Ye cannot drinke the Cup of the Lord and The Cup of Divils which can never stand Together ye cannot partakers be Of the Lords Table and partake of the Table of Devils In which notable Text the Cup is twice plac'd before the Table And sacred bread and eke appropriated To all the faithfull as well as the bread He addes for as oft as ye this bread eate And drinke this Cup ye the Lords death repeate And shew forth till be come wherefore O thinke Of this who ere shall eate this bread and DRINKE THIS CVP of the Lord but unworthily Shall be guilty of the blood and body Of Christ But let a man well examine Himselfe and so eate of that bread divine AND DRINKE of that Cup for he that eateth AND DRINKES unworthily eates AND DRINKETH Da●●ation to himselfe Christ by S.

It is a contradiction then to thinke Say he that eates the bread doth truely drinke The Cup thereby O Papists now espie Renounce Romes monstrous Nonsense Foolery Christ bids all eate and drinke still distinctly Not both in one and that successively First eate the bread next drinke the Cup that he At first ordained and them gave thus the Apostles still tooke them successively In former times but those who drinke onely In eating of the bread doe both together In one act moment and doe not them sever Christ bids men drinke not eate his blood but they Who take it in the Host it eate alway Not drinke at all as men doe onely eate Blood in blacke puddings fowles or strangled meate Wherein blood is contain'd Nay he bids all Here not drinke of his blood in generall But specially to drinke it in the Cup And wine Now those who onely drinke it up Within the bread and neither Cup wine take Transgresse Christs precept and his forme forsake The Bread is not the Cup wine Christs body Is not his blood these differ really One from another then those who onely The Body Bread eate cannot possibly Be sayd to drinke the Cup Wine blood thereby This to evade Romes Doctors will reply That Christs body under the forme of bread Containes his blood and is accompaned Still with it Therefore those who eate the one Doe drinke the other in it not alone But Christ himselfe thought not so when he the Lords Supper first ordained sith that he Commanded all to eate his body in The bread alone his blood to drinke within The Cup and wine onely not in the bread Which he from Cup and wine distinguished Those then who eate the body bread onely Can not the Cup Wine Blood thus drink therby As Christ enjoynes them Nay the Sacrament Ordain'd by Christ to this end and intent His blood-shedding and death to signifie Is quite subverted by this Novelty For blood within Christs Body and the Bread Unshed cannot Christs Passion and Blood-shed In any lively manner represent And so cannot be a true Sacrament Of Christs death bloodshed who saith expresly This Cup is the new Testament in my Blood which IS SHED for many for pardon Of sinnes of which there 's no remission Without the shedding of Christs blood wherein Whereby we are washt cleansed from all sinne You must then in the Sacrament drinke up Christs blood not in his body veines but Cup As shed and sever'd from his body on The Crosse else you his bloods effusion And sinnes remission cannot represent By an unbloody Host or Sacrament Which can no comfort to mens soules convey Since it Christs blood-shed death doth not display Adde that Christs body in the sacred bread Is eaten not as living but as dead Nail'd broken on the Crosse quite voyd of blood All shed out of his

Christ NO Pictures can so lively represent Christs Death and Passion as the Sacrament And Word the onely Crucifixes he Hath left his Church his death to minde and see What neede of Pictures Crucifixes then To shew Christs death or Person unto men Had they beene usefull he had instituted Them too like these sith not they are refuted If we Christs Person or humanitie At any time would set before our eye Let us behold our selves No Image can So lively set forth Christ to us as Man Gods and Christs perfect Image whose likenesse And Nature Christ assum'd if Man expresse Not Christ sufficiently unto our view No pictures can they false are He the true And perfect living Image of Christ why Neglect they truth then and behold a lye The Scripture no description of Christs face Forme feature person makes but of his grace That none should dare presume to undertake His unknowne Image Vnseene shape to make Which cannot but be false and a meere lye Because no ground shape 's left to draw them by And none now know Christs true forme portraiture How can the Papists others then be sure Those Crucifixes they adore keepe see Are Christs true Pictures and not one of the Two Theeves that were with him then Crucifi'd Since both alike upon their Crosses dy'd And those who made them for ought they can tell Intended to present by them as well These Theeves as Christ sith nothing doth appeare From the bare Picture this great doubt to cleare You must then know the Painters thoughts ere ye Them for Christs Pictures can once take to be Which nought can make them but your fantasie And theirs that made them but by guesse onely But grant them true what fruites good can accrue To men by Christs meere outward shape they view Since all our comfort rests in this that He Mans Nature tooke not that shape which we see His Incarnation not his Countenance Was that which did our Natures States advance Which men alone not Pictures can expresse Unto the Life they then are vaine uselesse Christ was unlike to most or all in face His visage saves none but his Nature grace We must strive to be like him inwardly In Graces but not paint him outwardly Gods Word forbids such Images to make Or use at all we must them then forsake The holy noynting Oyle which Sanctifi'd The Arke Priests Tabernacle all beside Which did thereto belong with that perfume Which God prescrib'd of old none might presume On paine of death to make the like sith they Were holy and in type did Christ display Who doth us sanctifie and quite consume The stinke of all our prayers with his perfume If then it were so grand a crime for men To make the like to these types of Christ then To make Christs Image likenesse for a use Civill or Sacred is a great abuse It s Civill use walls windowes Roomes to grace Doth Christ prophane abuse and much debase Christ is an holy and most sacred thing Ordaind for holy uses the making Then of him common for a civill use Is prophanation and more grand abuse Than to turne Churches Lords Bords Chalices To prophane uses damn'd by Popes Decrees For prophanation grosse impiety It s civill use you then must needs denie T is sinne prophanenesse by all mens consents For to translate the sacred Elements Of bread and wine which Christs death typifie And paint his Body blood-shed to our eye Unto a vulgar use then by the same Reason it must deserve as great a blame To make Christs Image for a civill end Since both alike to prophanation tend It s Sacred use to worship or adore Makes it a sinnefull Idoll and therefore Be it for Common or for Sacred use To make Christs Image is a grosse abuse Nay Sacriledge falshood and blasphemy Sith it presents Christs bare humanity Unto mens eyes thoughts fancies separate Quite from his Godhead and Divine estate Which hypostatically is joyn'd to His humane Nature in such sort that no Man must behold view his humanity But as conjoyn'd still to his Deity Which no picture can possibly expresse Vnto the eye since voyd of all likenesse And visibility Christ as meere man Unto us no Christ Jesus Saviour can Be Therefore 't is both falshood blasphemie To picture Christ as a dead man onely Hanging upon his Crosse quite severed From what made him a Saviour his Godhead What comfort profit can it be to eye Christ hanging on his Crosse as man onely Ah none at all Thus you him alwayes view In Crucifixes Therefore bid adieu Unto them and the rather because they Mis-represent Christ to you day by day Not onely as meere man but as hanging Yet actually upon his Crosse a thing Both false and dangerous which doth quite confound Our faith hope joy and cast them to the ground Christs hanging on the Crosse was transient Past in few houres which done he rose and went Vp into Heav'n where he now reignes onely And lives free from his Crosse no more to dye To paint him then still hanging on his Crosse Or as a sucking infant it most grosse Abuse controuling sacred History And representing nothing but a lye O than with indignation cast away These Idoll Pictures and aside them lay Which at the best are Lies and different From Christs forme which the Scriptures represent The Papists paint Christ very lovely faire And like a Nazarite with long compt haire And somewhat fleshy when the Text saith he Should like a roote which springs in dry ground be And that he had no forme nor comelinesse Of Person in him as they him expresse So that when men should see him no beauty Him to desire they should in him espie Whence they should him reject despise despite And hide their faces from his gastly sight He was no Nazarite nor long haire wore As some yet dreame and many heretofore For he dranke wine oft toucht nay rais'd the dead Which Nazarites might not nor shav'd he his head When he came neare dead Corps as Nazarites Were bound to doe nor us'd ought of their rites He was not could not be defil'd at all Like them no sinne in him was nor could fall Into him He no sinne-peace-burnt-offring
