be vnderstood For when it came to be spoken of the cuppe in stead of that which is in Saint Matthew This is my bloud they tearme it thus This Cuppe is the newe Testament in my bloud The bread therefore is the body of our Sauiour in the same fashion that that which is the cuppe is the new testament Now it is not in substance but sacramentally as our Sauiour Iesus Christ also calleth it a commemoration or remembrance I adde to this that if the cuppe be the new testament in the bloud of our Sauiour as saith Saint Luke it is not then the bloud of our Lord for the bloud of our Lord is not in the bloud of our Lord. Moreouer I confesse that in the depth of my ignorance it despighted me much to heare some of the reformed religion reproach vs in that our Priests made God and after sold him for a little money in their priuate Masses and I haue heard some Doctours of the Romane Church hold and maintaine that the blessed body of our Sauiour Iesus Christ might bee carryed away by a mouse which were able to make any mans heart tremble that loued the honour of our Sauiour Iesus Christ the sonne of the euerliuing God Likewise to disperse the bloud of our Sauiour into so many places and to inclose his whole entire body into an aume of bread is not conformable and agreeing to the Gospell which attributeth to him a body like vnto ours to the end he should be our brother Now those that alledge his body glorified doe not consider at all that when hee instituted the Sacrament his body was yet vnglorified and which is more the glorification hath nothing changed his humane nature but hath onely taken away from it all infirmities I haue also learned in the Church of Rome that the sacrifice of the crosse that is to say the death of our Sauiour Iesus Christ is our sole meanes of redemption notwithstanding the Priests say that the Masse is the same sacrifice of the Crosse and that they sacrifice Iesus Christ really and effectually for our redemption which to mee seemeth very disagreeable For the one tels mee the death of Iesus Christ is the onely price of our redemption and now they giue vs the sacrifice of the Masse for the same effect which is not the death of Iesus Christ And it cannot be said that the Masse is the continuation of the sacrifice of the crosse for it should bee then the continuation of the death of Iesus Christ and so Christ should dye continually Purgatory also is another peece of popery which hath turned me from the Romish Church since I haue found it to be grounded vpon this Maxime that Iesus Christ by his death and sufferance hath satisfied for the sinnes commtted before baptisme but hath not satisfied for the sins committed after baptisme For I haue said with my selfe this is the most important poynt of all Christian religion for it declareth vnto vs what it is that Christ hath done for vs. It is necessary therefore that this poynt aboue all others should bee expresly and truly grounded vpon the word of God yet notwithstanding I could neuer finde any thing in the word of God that could shew me one sillable for it Then hath not Iesus Christ paid sufficiently to deliuer vs from Purgatory and if hee hath paide sufficiently wherefore doth not God accept of that paine for so much as it is worth And seeing hee doth still intercede for vs in heauen wherefore do not soules come forth from Purgatorie rather at his intercession in heauen then through the indulgences of the Pope Also the Church of Rome holdeth that all the faithfull which shall bee aliue at the last day of iudgement shall not goe at all into Purgatorie Could not God then as well free vs without wronging his diuine iustice Nothing indeede that is defiled shall enter into Paradice But Saint Iohn in his first Epistle and first chapter saith That the bloud of Iesus Christ cleanseth vs from all sinne Likewise according to the opinion of the Romish Church in Purgatory sinnes are not cleansed but are onely there punished and torments are no purgation to make cleane the spots and pollutions of soules and their sinnes but inflicting penalties but Iesus Christ hee doth cleanse vs from all sinne and makes vs cleare without spotte or filth And needes must it indeed bee that it belongeth to God himselfe to prescribe the meanes to worke our redemptions and not for vs to inuent the way at our owne pleasure And the meanes for vs to applie Gods grace and mercie is not to displaye his iudgement in tormenting vs in fire And to the same effect the holy Scriptures doe shewe vs diuers examples of some persons receiued into paradice and that haue entred into peace and glory immediatly after their death as the Theefe vpon the crosse Luke 23. vers 24. But wee finde not one example of any body which hath bene sent into Purgatorie It hath bene also no small matter to finde out the errours of this Purgatorie when I haue seene by experience that this fire burned for gaine and auarice It is not knowne that euer particular Masses were sung but for such persons as payed well for them the poore must be contented with the generall and common prayers of the Church of which the rich likewise hath his share but neuer was it seene at any time that the begging Friers would goe to the buriall of a poore person and yet notwithstanding his soule cost Iesus Christ as deare and is no lesse precious in the sight of God then the soule of an Emperour The letters of indulgence and dispensation that the Pope granteth are but for persons of ranke and qualitie to him This also hath greatly moued me that is that they teach in the Church of Rome that a man cannot bee assured of his saluation Whereupon I said to my selfe shall I remaine in such a religion in the which after I haue laid a foundation of merits and satisfactions and also bought the same pardons of others in the end of all I know not whether I be the child of God or a limbe of the Diuell What kinde of religion is this that teacheth such doubtfulnes Where on the contrary by the whole volume of the Scripture God exhorteth vs to put our trust in him to fly vnto him with full assurance of faith and he telleth vs that we may haue boldnesse by accesse vnto him in assurance of faith through Iesus Christ Consider with me also beloued that the commandements of the Romish Church are much more reuerenced then the commandements of God There they teach that the Church of Rome giues authoritie to the holy Scripture that is as much as the ordinances of men authorise the commandements of God To eate flesh vpon good friday they say is a farre more greater sinne then to commit murther or adulterie and yet it was the friday vpon the which our
