the which Christ hath cōmanded shuld be preached to euery creature What els be thes wordes but that Christ hath geuō his body and his blood for our rāsom ād forgeuenes of our sinnes Seing this thing is of necessitie that it shuld be preached to euery Christiā nor he is not a Christiā that doth not bileue why doo thei not say it with a lowd voice as in the old time it was wont to be Here thei find certen scusis and among other thei say that such wordes ought to be said in secret to th entent that the high holy wordes shuld not become vile And that it is red how in old time whan the canon was said with a lowd voice as it were all did vnderstand thos wordes and did openly sing them in the streates ād in the waies Wherupon certen shepardes singing thos wordes and hauing laid the breade vp on a certen stone at the vttering of the wordes the bred was turned in to flessh and for this caus the fire came from heauen that killed them for the which thing the holy fathers haue ordeined that vp on paine of cursing such wordes in the masse shuld be said in secret and with the holy garmentis This master William Durant saith in his racional of diuine offices Soo what fowndacions thes be I will not say fables of saing the wordes of the sacramēt in secret Iff thes wordes for this caus ought to be said in secret to th entēt that the high holy wordes shuld not become vile than it were nedefull to say the holy gospell in secret ād not to preach it openly with a lowd voice For what wordes be more high holy than thos of the holy gospell Furthermore the holy fathers that haue ordeined this iff it be trewe in dede that thei did ordeine it why did thei not rather command that the holy wordes shuld be pronownced with reuerens withowt making them say them in secret The which wordes among all the rest that are said in the masse euer●… Christēman ought singularly to vnderstand Ought not euery Christian to knowe that Christ hath geuin his body and his blood for our ransom And that for remembrans of so gret a mistery Christ hath ordeined this sacrament And what els doo the wordes of the consecraciō say exeept this in substance I could here iff I wold say many things but what nedeth it to heape wordes in so plaine a matter It is withowt dowt a gret abuse to vtter thos wordes in secret The wordes of the sacrament ought to be hard of all withowt the which it is no sacrament neither the bread nor the wine nor any other thing iff that the significacion of it be not knowen nor that can not be knowen but by the same wordes of the sacrament Let vs goo on further A nother abuse is that Christes death is not shewed to them that be present contrary to saint Paul the which saith that in the vse of the sacrament the lords death ought to be shewed saing in his 1. to the Corinthians As offten as yow shall eate this bread and drink the cupp 1. Cor. 11. ye shall shewe the lordes death vntill he come that is to say yow shall preach it It is clere that in the masse the lords death is not shewed nor preached to the peple And what speake I of the daily and priuate masses It is not shewed neither in the time of the communiō whā thei reach furth the host to the cōmunicāts where thei ought to teach the pore peple of the significaciō ād of the importance of the sacramēt Thei sai nothing to thē except whether he bileue that Christ be in that host or no. As though Christ had instituted the sacramēt to th entent that it shuld be bileued that he were in that host so gret and so large as he was vp on the wood of the crosse and not for remēbrans of his death Yet Christ him selff said doe this in my remembrans and said not bileue ye that I am hid den in this bread so gret and so large as presently yow see me This was not Christes meaning for so moch as he wold haue said it Wherfor thā is not Christes death shewed in the masse Surely this is a manifest abuse The fourth abuse is that the prest alōne doth take that his sacrament I call i●…h●…s becaus in dede it is no sacrament and he geuith no part of it to any other But this is no communion for a communion is whan many do communicate or take part of one selff thing This maner of taking this sacrament is against Christ who hath instituted it to th entent that it shuld be taken in communion and not priuately and against sent Paul in the forsaid place ●… Cor. 11. who rebuketh the chorinthes becaus thei did not take the sacrament together and with cōpany nor thei did not tary one for a nother And iff he so sharply rebuked them becaus thei did not tary one for a nother allthough that all shuld take the sacrament how wold he haue suffered that one only shuld haue taken it Thei doo also against the wordes which thei speake in the cōsecration For before thes wordes that thei say Hoc enim est corpus meum there be thes that is to say accipite manducate ex hoc omnes that is to say take yow and eate you all of this bread Why than doo thei not geue it to all or to many as Christ commanded according to their own opinion Parauenture thei will say that Christ spake thes wordes for thapostles and not for any other But this is not reasonably spoken for so moch as Christ taught them withthes wordes that he spake how thei shuld doo and minister this sacrament Iff he shuld haue spoken thes wordes for the Apostles only the Apostles them selues shuld neuer haue knowen how to haue ministred the sacrament to others but only to them seluis Furthermore in old time this is certen that there was no priuate masse said that is to say that one only shuld take the sacrament that is the priest that celebrateth but allweis there was a communion vsed In token of this the grekis did neuer receiue the priuate masse doing better in this part than the latines and keping Christis institucion and the apostolyke vse A nother abuse is that thei make it auayle for euery thing Thei applye it for the raine for the fayre wether against tempest warr derth pestylens and against all sortys of diseases for the holsomnes of the ayre for plenty peace helth of body for waifaryng men for wiues and husbandes against enemyes for the liuyng for the deade and for what thing is not the masse sayd In prayse of our lady of the angels of the sayntes for repentant for thos that geue allmes for thē that sayle for the Imprisoned for the remaining in a place for to call for wisdom It is said against persecutors for ani maner of troble for the

the proper maner of speche and not the improper To this I answer that god often tymes vseth with vs the custome of men because we be men and he agreeth to oure maner of speche for so muche as the custome is amonge men that they call the signes of a thinge by the self same name of the same thinge signified As for example If at any tyme we should make a couenaunt or an agrement with any man as sone as the agreement and couenaunt is made we cause to be made an instrument or a wrytinge of such agrement and we call it couenaunt or els agrement not that that instrument is really such agreement for the couenaunt and agrement went before but because it is a signe of such couenaunt and agrement So we call the wrytinge of a sale or of a purchase a sale or purchase because it is a signe and confirmacion of the sale or purchase And we do call the wrytinge or the instrument of such thinges testament or legacie or gift because it is the signe and confirmacion of these thinges Let vs geue an other example which also is of the scripture In Exodus and in many other places the ceremony of the paschall lambe is called passouer And Christ and the Apostels did so call it Christ sayd in saynet luke I haue ernestly desired to eat this passouer before I suffer Here Christ called the paschall lamb passouer And the Apostells said to Christ where willt thou that we prepare for the to eat the passouer And for all that the paschall lamb was not really the passouer because the passouer as we haue in the same Exodus was that passage as it is also sayd before in the ninth reason the which the Aūgell made whē he strake the first borne of Egypt ād passed by the houses of the hebrues Now that passage was properly the passouer But because the lamb was ordeined that it should be killed and after eaten with many ceremonyes in signe and remēbraūce of that thinge therfore the scripture calleth it passouer Behold how the scripture calleth the sacramētes by the names of the thinges represented and signified why shall we maruell then that Christe did call the cōsecrated bread his body and the wyne his bluod because they should be signes and a remembraūce of his body and bluod We ought not to maruell yea it is oure great rudenes and dulnes that we see not this thinge and why he hath done it that is to saie whye he calleth the bread his body and the wyne his bluod Euery man sayth that the sacrament of thanks geuinge doth come in stede of the sacrament of the paschall lambe And if it be so seinge that the scripture and the Apostels call the same such lamb passouer yea Christ him self in the same supper when he instituted the sacrament of his body and bluod called that lambe passouer not for any other cause but for that it was a signe and a remembraunce of the passouer why should not the bread be called the body and the wyne the bluod because they be signes and a remembraunce of the bodye and the bluod euen as the lambe is called passouer because it is the signe and remembraunce of the passouer And that rock out of which came furth the water in the desert paule calleth it Christ not for any other cause but for that it did signifie Christ nor there was neauer any men that bi such a sainge wold think that paule ment to affirme that that stone was really Christ but that he ment onely to say that it did signifie Christ So likewise let vs saye of the bread and the wyne that they be called body and bluod because they be signes and a remembraunce of such thinges We haue bene longe in answeringe to this reason because in dede the whole consisteth in this declaration that we haue made The second reason is this If Christ were not really in the sacrament S. Paule wold not haue sayde that it should be condemnation to them that should take it vnworthelye nor he wold not haue sayde that such should be giltie of the lords bodye and bluod For so much as that if Christ be not in the sacrament there should not be any other thinge but bread and wyne and beinge none other thinge there it should not be to vs such condemnacion as it is in dede no condēnation to eate other comē bread and to drink other wyne To this is answered that therfore paule sayth that they be giltye of the lords body and bluod the which do take the consecrated bread and wyne and the sacrament vnworthelye not for because that eather the body or the bluod be in the sacrament but they be therfore giltye of the one and the other because thei dispise Christs death thei dispise his body and bluod not goinge with that faith and with that reuerence that they ought to take those holy signes Instituted by Christ in remembraunce of his body and bluod geuen to death for oure raunsome In old tyme thei that did dispyse or dishonoure the name or the glory of the Romane Empire thei were gyltie of treason against the state of Rome And they that had done wronge to Cesars Image or els had defaced any of Cesars writings This was as if thei had layd violent hands vpon the princes persone He that wold dishonoure the armes or the badges of any great state that prince wold haue estemed such dishonoure and disworship to be cōmitted against his oune person for when his badges or els his Armes be dyspysed he him self is dispysed So seinge that Iesus Christ the chefe prince of the world hath Instituted the sacramētall bread and wyne to the intēt that that it should be a remēbraunce of so great a thinge and should represent so great a misterye that is to say that hath geuen his body and his bluod and dyed for to deliuer vs from sinn and from euerlastinge death and to geue vs euerlastinge lyfe Sewerly they that will take these holy signes withoute true repentaunce of there sinnes and without true faith and without consideration of so great a misterie and benefite they make no counte nother of Christes body nor his bluod nor of his death no nor of Christe himself it is no maruell therfore that they who go to take such a sacrament vnworthelye do eate and drinke Iudgement that is to say condemnation because when they dispyse the signes of so great thinges they do consequently dispyse the same thinges and him also that did institute such signes It is not proued by this that Christ is enclosed in this sacrament but the contrary The third reason The third reason the which semeth to haue some shew is this that is to say that if Christ were not here in this sacrament there should not be wrought any such great myracles as men see Sometyme it is seen that the hostes haue cast out bluod and such bluod is kept in many places It

the one in to his body and thother in to his blood because we shuld make to long a digression from our purpos But with gods fauor whan we haue ended this discours of the masse and the masse booke we will in the end of the boke Ioine to it a plaine sermon of this matter in the which we will proue the treuth And for this time we will make it onli appeare that thei vnderstōd not what consecraciō meaneth Therfor yow must vnderstād that Cōsecrare affter the holy scripture meane●…h not to chāge one thing in to a nother by vertu of certen wordes as thei take and vnderstand the consecracion of bread and wine minding that it shuld be a changing of their substances in to other substancis that is to say in to the body and blood of Iesus Christ For a thing that is consecrated is not marred or destroied that it shuld not be any more the same that it was as thei say of the breade and wine that thei remaine no longer affter the consecracion but are vndone and destroied and be no more that thei were but the thing that is consecrated remaineth the selff same that it was first and is not altered in his substance but only is dedicate or appointed to a certen holy vse to the which first it was not appointed or ordeined This is the meaning of consecrare As for example And how 's is said to be cōsecrated to god whan it is appointed to some holy vse as a man wold say to the preaching of gods word to the administracion of the sacraments and to comō praier Euen so man is consecrated to god whan he is dedicated and appointed to an holy and secred vse of gods seruice All christians be consecrated to god that is to say dedicated and appointed to his seruice which is an holy thing because thei be the trewe temple of god in the which he dwelleth with his holy spirite as S. Paul saith in many places 1. cho 3. 2. cho 6. Ephe. 2. Now it appearith that the man remainith still the same and is not changed in substance because he is consecrated to god but only is dedicated and appointed to gods seruice to which he was not first appointed This which we say we say not of our selues but owt of the holy scripture in mani places Exo. 13.29 num 6. Leuiti 27. as in Exodus numerus leuiticus It is writton in exodus that euery first borne male shuld be consecrate to god as well of men as of beastis Also that Aron and his childern were consecrated to be priestes It apperith in numerus as well of men as wemen that were consecrated to god In the last of leuiticus where is spoken of the consecracion of men and of feldys and vniuersally of eueri consecrated thing It appeareth that that consecracion doth not meane to change one thing in to another with wordes but meaneth to dedicate and appoint and as a man wold sai to appropriate a thing to god and to an holy vse Euery thing that is cōsecrated to the lord saith god whether it be mā beast or felde shall not be sold nor can not be redemed or raunsomed And thes were the consecracions made in the lawe which although we doo not now vse yet neuertheles thei giue vs to vnderstand what Consecrare meaneth and that it importeth nothing els but to dedicate ād appoint a thing to an holy vse And so we will say of the consecracion of breade and of wine that it is no changing of their substancis made by vertu of wordes but it is an appointing to an holy vse that is to say that thei shuld signifie and bring to our remembrance the body and blood of Christ how he gaue them for our redempcion As he him selff said whan he instituted this holy sacrament of breade and wine Matth. 26. Marc. 14. Luc. 22. 1. Corint 11. saing that thei shuld doo this in his remembrance We haue bene long in this our talk which we haue done for the ignorant and not for the lerned and becaus the matter is waighty THE III. CHAPTER This examineth the viij part of the canon and declareth how he that saith the masse vsurpeth that office that is Christes and also saith a most wicked praier which is a gret wrong to Christ THe viij part of the canon is this that is to say Wherfor we thy seruantes and thy holy peple remembring vs of christ thy sonn our lord of so blessed a passion and resurrection from the deade and of the glorios ascēsion in to the heauens doo offer to thy most excellēt maiestie of thy rewardes and gifftes the pure host the holy host the vnspotted host and here saing thes wordes are made iij. crosses ouer the host and ouer the cup consecrated to gether that is to say ouer both of them And affter he addeth Holy breade of life euerlasting and the cup of continuall helth And here ij other crosses be made the one whan the bread is named ouer the same host and the other ouer the cupp whan the same is named In this viij part is affirmed that the priest and the peple by the remembrans that thei haue of his death resurrection and ascension doo offer vnto god that host and that cupp consecrated which be as thei think the trewe body and very blood of Christ. But where is it fownd in all the whole scripture that Christ or god did euer ordein that either the priest or the peple shuld offer vnto god the body and blood of Iesus Christ In dede we find that we ought to make a memory of such an offering as christ hath made And therfor he hath ordeined this sacrament to thintent that we shuld vse the remembrance of that oblacion But that we ought to offer to god either the body or the bloode of his sonn that hath god not appointed vs nor yet Christ nor ani Apostel euer made mēcion of it For this office to offer vnto god the body and blood of christ belongeth only to christ who is the high ād euerlasting priest Heb. 7.9.10 and it belongeth not to vs. And the some christ hath done it ones for all whan he was offered and died vpon the crosse And it nedeth not to doo it offtner because that that only time hath suffised to satisfie god for the sinnes of all the elect And that which we doo now in the sacrament is not the offering of Christes body ād blood but is a memory of that offering And who knoweth not that the memory of a thing is not the selff same thing but a remēbrance of it And if ani wold say for all this that it belōgeth to christians to offer christ in the sacramēt because Peter saith that the Christiās be an holy priesthoode to offer spirituall offrings acceptable to god by Iesus christ To this I say that Peter meaneth not here to speake of the sacrament but meaneth of thos hostis
