In that we take and eate the breade and after drincke of the cuppe is a witnes of that which is interiorly done truly by the vertue and power of the holye ghost For he can thorowe the bonde of faith ioyne and binde those things together which of themselues be farre deuided a sunder concerning the distance of the places that is to say y ● as verelye as we take and eate the bread and drink y e wine by a naturall maner the which in continent after by digestiō turneth into our substance nourishment of our corporal life likewise as verily although by a spiritul and celestial maner not with mouth téeth is Iesus Christ him selfe which is now in heauen on y e right hande of his father cōmunicated to vs that we may be flesh of his fleshe and bones of his bones that is to saye being knytte and incorporated with him by faythe oure soules and oure bodyes doth attaine to eternall life yea euen whylest we be in this world his spirite doth sanctifye and gouerne our bodyes and soules to dedicate and sacrifice all our lyfe to his seruice and to the charitie of our neyghbours for the loue of him Finally in that we take all of one breade and of one wyne corporallye and visibly so on the other parte spirituallye and inuisibly by faith we come al to participate bee partakers of Iesus Christ onelye the same I say sheweth to vs the bonde and knot whiche ought to bee betweene vs all as the mysticall bodye of Iesus Christ our heade according to the publike and common protestation which we do make The conuenaunce agréement of the thinges signified with the signes ceremonies is very euident and plaine by this which we haue already sayd namelye that as one loafe is made of manye graynes gathered and ioyned into one loafe or peece of breade and lykewise the Wine being made of many grapes declareth vnto vs the agréeing of the sygnes with the signifycation whereof wee haue spoken heretofore that is to saye the knotte and vnyon whiche we haue with Iesus Christ and the mutuall charitye with all the faythfull in Iesus Christ theyr head the worde that is to saye the ordinaunce and promyse of the Lorde whereunto the signes doth sende vs bee suche as saint Paule hath expresslye touched togeather left to vs according to the Euangelists The Lorde Iesus the same night in the whiche hee was betrayed tooke bread and when hae had geuen thankes brake it and sayde take eate this is my bodye which is broken for you do this in the remembraunce of me likewise he tooke the cuppe after hee had supped sayinge this cup is the newe alliaunce or Testament in my bloud do this as ofte as ye drynke it in the remembraunce of mee for as ofte as ye eate this breade and drinke of this cuppe ye shall shewe foorth the Lords death tyll he come The meanes to receyue Iesus Christ as wee haue sayde afore is fayth and therefore sayde saincte Augustine he that is not of the bodye of Christe eateth not the bodye of Christe and as he sayde in an other place the heretykes which be withoute the Churche maye wel haue the sacrament but not y ● benefyte of the sacrament from whence it foloweth ▪ that a man must proue hymselfe according to the doctryne of the Apostle that is to saye enter into our selues to see if we haue suche sorowe for our sinnes as it appertaineth and suche certaine and sure trust in our God accordinge to hys worde by Iesus Christ our onely mediatour And yet is not requyred such a perfyte sayth as no imperfection can bee founde but suche a fayth as is true and not fayned In those then that be suche the vnyon and coniunction whiche they haue obtayned with Christe by their faythe is more and more confirmed and sealed by the holye ghost in receyuing the signes and sure seale of this coniunction and knot as it is sayde that y e circumcision was in Abraham a seale of the righteousnes of faith the other on the contrarie in despysing that which is offered to them that is to saye Iesus Christe and dishonoring the signes and ceremonies instituted of the Lorde bring themselues culpable and guiltie of the bodye bloude of Iesus Christ from the which continuallie more and more they recoyle and fall backwarde The declaration of the death of Iesus Christ consequentlie of all that which he dyd for vs with thankes geuing for the benefites receyued and the examining and prouing of our selues be of the substaunce of the supper therfore cānot be left out nor peruerted or altered without great sacriledge Wherevpon followeth that the Supper of the Lorde ought not to be communicated to those which can not proue nor examine themselues because they haue not the vse of reason as younge chyldren and such lyke nor to those which haue not made profession of theyr fayth or which be Iudged vnworthylie that is to saye excommunicated by the right iudgment of the Churche the whiche shalbe spoken of hereafter 50. The conclusion of the matter of the Sacramentes THese thinges considered it foloweth that the sacramentes be not onely ordayned to offer to God geuing of thanks which also is called a sacrifice and acceptable offring but rather that we shoulde receiue of his grace and liberality the which is more precious then heauen and earth that is the confirmation of our faythe and to be the nearer vnited and ioyned to Iesus Christe into eternall life 51. Wherefore the holye ghost is called the consolator or comforter and to vvhat purpose and ende the afflictions of the faithfull serueth FInally it is easy to perceue for what reason the holye ghoste is called the comfortor a Because his office is to ioyne vs to Iesus Christ

nature is sore geuen to superstition shoulde abuse these thinges For if they should see any great preparation or some gorgeous or exquisyte Ceremonies they woulde staye and be vtterly occupyed in these external pomps And in stéede wher they shoulde by these markes ascende vpward into heauen by faith and there embrace the thinges which to vs are signyfied by these markes and tokens yet contrariwise forgetting heauen would stay altogether in these outward markes and there woulde search his saluation Therfore those dyd wholy altogether corrupt the vse of the Sacraments the which not content with the simple and bare institution of Iesus Christe haue burdened and charged the Churche with infinite Ceremonies so that of a Christianitye they haue made not onely a Iewery but also a Paganrye The Sacraments be ordayned of God for the same and purpose that the woord lyuelye declared is without Sacrament that is to saye to be meanes to vs to serue and ayde vs more and more to vnite and ioyne vs to Iesus Christe by fayth the which cannot be wythout the word For the word declareth to vs that which God doth represent and ratifie by them for as much as they be disible signes of the spirituall coniunction whiche we haue with Iesus Christe Nowe there is 4. pryncipall poyntes to consider in thys matter the fyrst what the signes bee the seconde what is the thyng signifyed and ratifyed by them the thyrde what is the coniunction of the signes and the thing signified the fowrth howe we may communycate with the signes and the thinges signified The signes bée as well thinges néedefull to serue vs in the Sacramentes whiche be water in Baptisme bread and wine in the Supper as be the Ceremonies and manners of doings or ordinances by the woorde of God in the vse of them as we shall saye hereafter The thing signified is Iesus Christe with all his goodnesse by the which we be united together with him to haue eternal lyfe The signes be not transported or transubstantiated into the thing signified but bee conioyned with the same not by pronounciation of certayne woordes but by the ordynance of Iesus Christe author of the Sacramentes and not by a corporall manner or naturall but onely so as God offereth alwayes spyritually that which is signified by the corporall signes The meanes to communicate with the signes is visible naturall but the thing signified that is Iesus Christe with all his goodnesse is receyued spyrituallye by fayth onelye as is sayde before Then it followeth those that be not in the faith receyue but the bare signes but be neuer thelesse culpable as well for that they receyue but the bare signe vnworthely as also for that they haue no respect nor regarde to the thing which was offered to them and signifyed that is to say Iesus Christe with all hys goodnesse the whiche they haue reiected by their wyckednesse The signe of Baptisme is water with the whiche wée bée wete according to the ordynance of God in the name of the father of the sonne and of the holy Ghost The water representeth to vs the bloud of Iesus Christe which was shed for the remyssion of synnes as the visible water is shedde vpon our bodyes the which sanctifieth vs to lyue righteously as was sayde before And forasmuch as the Sacramentes ought to procéede after the word because that the thing for the which they wer ordained to signify and zeale into our harts canot be receyued but by fayth fayth is geuen to vs thorow the preachyng of the woorde Yet neuertheles concernyng the yong chyldren of the faythful we do communycate and receyue them into Baptisme although as yet they be not capable to heare the doctrine or to make confession as they ought to doo if they were come to age yet neuerthesse they be comprised in the couenant with their fathers for the which by consequent the marke or signe may not nor ought not to be denied them The second vse of Baptisme is to ioyne vs together to lyue all with one accorde without changing putting too or diminishing the marke or badge we all heare In the holy Supper of the Lorde celebrated according to his holy ordinaunce without changing or putting too or diminishing the bread is a Sacrament to vs that is to say a seale and marke of y ● very body of Iesus Christe which ascended vp to the ryght hand of God his father after his death resurrection The wyne lykewyse to vs is the Sacrament of the very blood of him which shedde it for vs. The breaking of the bread to vs representeth the precious body of Iesus Christe to bée broken with the sorrowes and paynes of death the powring forth of the wine the shedding of his precious bloud the Mynister geuing vs bread wyne representeth Iesus Christ geuing him selfe to vs. In that we take eate drinke the breade and wine testifieth to vs and sealeth into our hartes the vnity and knot of our bodyes with Iesus Christe to possesse hym more more with all his goodnes to eternall lyfe Not with téeth or mouth but with true liuely fayth which lyfteth vs vp into heauen spyritually to embrace hym and yet neuerthelesse most truely whiche is our norishment to euerlasting blysse as the bread and wyne corporallye and visibly receyued doth entertayn and noorysh vs in this corporall lyfe For we doubt not but God wyll accomplyshe and fulfyll that whiche hee promyseth by hys woorde and offereth by his Sacramentes to all beléeuers The second vse of the holy supper is to vnite vs together as members of one body lyke as we do eate of one bread made of many graines of wheate and drynk of one Wyne made of many grapes to bee partakers with Iesus Christ And as wée must eate daylye to entertaine and preserue vs in this lyfe so likewyse it is requisite to come to this spyrituall Table as often as is possyble the which cannot be in Baptisme For it is sufficient to be once entred into y ● church neuer to depart Lykewise forasmuch as it is requyred that euery man proue and examine himselfe to wete publikely and openly to auowe and declare the death of the Lord with thankesgeuing in the holy Communion Also it appeareth that it appertayneth not to those that bée not meete to receiue it to wete litle children whiche neuerthelesse be saued forasmuch as they be comprised in the couenaunt of saluation with theyr fathers neyther appertayneth it to those whiche bée not instructed or do not vnderstande the law of God or haue not so much profited as to make profession of theyr fayth nor lykewyse to those which be declared excōmunicated that is to say throwen out of the communion and company of the faithful by the lawful iudgement of the Church Beholde in summe what is the doctrine of our saluation thorow Iesus Christ only by the meanes of our faith And whosoeuer receyueth this doctrine the which cannot be but wher
