place I vnderstande that it is all one not to iudge the bodye of the Lorde and to eate it vnworthelye Wherefore they which lacke faith be voyde of charitie without all religion and lyke hogges caste in them selues to this Supper such as these make no difference of the Lordes Supper Therefore seyng they beleue not that that body is theyr lyfe whensoeuer they do present them selues in the Church to receaue this Sacrament they do blaspheme do greate iniurye to the body of Christ they spoyle it of all dignitie and receauyng it after this sorte they be false betrayers of theyr Lord. Euen so these that be in discorde with theyr neyghbours the whiche do so hate them that they can not abyde the syght of them whan they do come together in company to celebrate the holy supper and to shewe that they be knytte together with theyr brother in the bande of charitie such do blaspheme God deuide the mistical bodi of Iesu Christ and teare in sunder the holye Churche by peece and peece Therefore worthely are they to be blamed be betrayers of the body of Chryst I say not onely that they bee betrayers of the Churche whiche is the mistical bodye of Chryste But I saye they be betraiers of theyr Lord no lesse then Iudas and the Iewes whiche crucified hym Eatyng after thys sort vnworthely thei do receaue their own damynation for vsynge thys Sacrament without fayth as the hypocrites do they do confesse that with theyr mouth whiche they beleue not in their harte And to be present at thys table is no other thinge but an abiuration whiche is done in euery false religion It is a confession that we beleue to bee saued onely by the death of Iesu Chryste The hypocrite then doth condemne hym selfe doth pronounce sentence in hys owne condemnation and prouoketh the anger of GOD vppon hys owne head When a man doth not putte hys whole confydence in Christ he can not loue hys neyghbour with that Christian loue wherewith thys Sacrament doth bynde hym Then a wycked person is cutte of from his neyghbours and so he hath no parte at all in the Churche nor yet maye vse thys Sacrament but faynedly For when he outwardelye sheweth hym selfe at this holy Table he confesseth to be transfourmed into hys neyghbour neuerthelesse in hys harte he is replenyshed with hatred For this cause Paule willed that a man should make triall of himself before he dyd eate of thys bread drynke of this cuppe The whiche wordes I do vnderstande after thys sorte that euerye one ought it theyr proper conscience and with stedfast fayth beleue that Iesus Christ onely is theyr redemer and the satisfier for all theyr sinnes Also they ought to declare the death of Christ that is with tong openly to confesse that the whiche he beleueth in hys hart Thys is to confesse Christ alone to be our Sauiour in daungers troubles and all persecutiōs of Antichrist When a Christian hath tasted of thys fayth and confession it is necessary before he receaue thys Sacrament that he consider in his owne conscience whether he be redy to geue hym selfe wholy to the seruyce and benefyt of hys neighbour as Christ hath done who is made the seruaunt of the whole Churche whether he be also desyrous to helpe to defende and to gouerne his neighbour because he is of the fleshe of his owne body Thys is that preparation the which he ought to haue that myndeth to eate the supper of the Lorde This is that examination wherof Paul speaketh that he ought to make that wyll eate of thys breade and drinke of this cuppe He that hath not this fayth and this charitie lette him not goo to this supper of the Lorde because yf that anye suche who is voyde of faith and charitie doth present hym selfe to thys table he is worthi of more blame and becometh a betrayer of the body of Chryst Let vs nowe consider what difference there is bet wixt this fyrst and common fayth of the hypocrites and of thys seconde Christian faith This first fayth wylleth that we shoulde eate this supper because it is so ordayned and because the body of Chryste is receaued But because the wicked and reprobate and the Dyuell may haue thys fayth therefore the hipocrite doth not eate worthely the supper of the Lorde Let vs then leaue of thys ●●●●…on hipocrisie and beynge ●rmed with fayth and charitie ▪ ●…et vs eate thys bread and drynke thys cup together with the other faythful chaunginge our selues into our neyghbours by charitie beinge replenished with all humilitie of whiche we haue at this present a rare example of oure master Christ which is written by S.
