A10135	The table of the Lord whereof, 1. The vvhole seruice, is the liuing bread. 2. The guests, any man. 3. The mouth to eate, faith onely. By Gilbert Primerose, Doctour of Divinitie, one of his Maiesties chaplaines in ordinary, and pastour of the French church at London.

the foundation is artificiall and outward The vnion of the head with the members of the vine with the branches is naturall and inward The vnion of the husband with his wife is ciuill and inforceth not any proximitie or touching of bodies as the rest doe For they remaine one flesh although they be as far separated as the East is from the West If a bodily manner of coniunction with Christ cannot be inforced by those similitudes because it should be at one time outward and inward naturall civill and artificiall which is impossible Let Papists tell why it should be inforced by the similitude of eating If by the similitude of eating why not also by the rest Here they are muffled and cannot answer * Cusan epist 7. ad Bohemos Cr●dere igitur baptizari manducare bibere et quicquid similiter per Christum dicitur non habet in spirituali intellectu differētiam sed vnū solum est quodper omnia talia varie exprimūtur scilicet quotquot receperūt eum dedit eis potest●tem filios dei fieri ijs qui credunt in nomine eius Cusanus one of their owne confesseth that all those similitudes and whatsoever Christ saith after that manner hath no difference in the spirituall vnderstanding but it is one thing which by all such things is diversly expressed to wit As many as received him to them gaue the power to become the Sonnes of God to them that beleeue on his Name SECONDLY in the Sacrament he giveth himselfe not as glorified in heaven but as dead vpon the crosse as he said o 1 Cor. 11.24 This is my body which is broken for you p Mar. 14.24 This is my blood which is shed for many Doe this in remembrance of me Which commandement the Apostle explaineth saying q 1 Cor. 11 26. For as often as ye eate this bread and drinke this cup ye doe shew the Lords death till he come He did giue himselfe to the Apostles so and they received him so For he was not then glorified Should we desire to receiue him otherwayes then they did To receiue him so with the mouth of the body it is impossible because he is not now dead but r Rom. 6.10 liueth vnto God This argument prevents all replyes THIRDLY if Christ were in the Sacrament wicked men yea worms mice dogs asses and other beasts might eate him But that is impossible saith ſ Origin in Math. 15. Verus cibus quem nullus malus potest edere Origines because if they did eate him they should abide in him as he saith vers 56. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him and abiding in him they should liue for ever as he saith in my Text If any man eate of this bread he shall liue for ever and so often in the verses preceeding and following Which moved t De cōsecrat dist 2. cā 65 Qui discordat a Christo nec carnem eius manducat nec sanguinem bibit etiam si tantae rei Sacramētum ad iudiciū suae praesumptionis quotidiè indifferenter accipiat S. Austin to say that he who is discordant from Christ eateth not his flesh and drinketh not his blood although he receiue daily the Sacrament of so great a thing to the condemnation of his owne presumption As likewise he saith of the Apostles that u Idem in Iohan trac 59. Illi manducabāt panem dominum Ille panem domini contra dominū Illi vitam ille poenam they did eate the bread which is the Lord and of Iudas that he did eate the bread of the Lord against the Lord They life he paine FOVRTHLY the Lord himselfe seeing that many of his Disciples tooke his words carnally as if he had spoken of a corporall eating of his body x Athan. de verb. Christi Qui dixerit verbum contra filiū hominis Quomodo fieri posset vt totus mundus ederet de carne ipsius quae non sufficeret paucis hominibus Ideo dominus de carnis suae manducatione loquens sui in coelum ascensus meminit vt a corporali eos manducatione abstraheret vel inde discerent carnem Christi esse cibum coelestem et in alimoniā spiritualem dare to draw them away from bodily eating and to teach them that his flesh is a heavenly meate and is given to be spirituall food he maketh mention of his ascension into heaven saying vers 61.62 Doth this offend you What and if ye shall see the Sonne of man ascend vp wher he was before arguing This is a strong reason that y Ibidē trac 27. Vel tunc videbitis quod non eo modo quo putatis erogat corpus suum Certe vel tūc intelligetis quod gratia eius non consumitur morfibus he giueth not his body after the māner which they imagined z For the heavens must receiue him vntill the time of restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets because there a he appeareth in the presence of God and b maketh intercession for vs and cannot come out of that Holy place till his intercession be ended which will not be till the worlds end For c Heb. 8.4 if he were on earth he should not be a Priest But he is a Priest and therefore saith he himselfe d Math. 24.23.26 If any man say vnto you Loe here is Christ or there beleeue it not Behold he is in the desert goe not forth behold he is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 z Act 3.21 a Heb 9.24 in the secret chambers b Ro. 8.34 as when Papists say he is in the chappell on the Altar in the box beleeue it not Beleeue rather S.

Incassum laboraret erigere corda nostra nisi collocatū in coelis salutis nostra doceret autorem In vaine would he labour to heaue vp our hearts to heaven if the authour of our salvation were not in heaven Yea most preposterously should he endevour to withdraw our hearts from the earth if Christ were on earth For h Math. 6.21 where your treasure is there will your hearts be also Fiftly if the eating of Christ with the mouth of the body were possible his manhood might be separated from his Godhead his soule from his body and the life which is in him from his person Can his Godhead which is infinite be receiued in our bodies Can his soule which is a spirit enter into our stomackes Can his quickning

life which cannot be without his Godhead goe where the Godhead will not goe Certainly if it were possible to eate him the mouth of our body could eat nothing of him but his body And what is a body without a soule but a corps if then Christ i Rom. 6.9 being raised from dead he dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him it is impietie to thinke it is blasphemie to say that his body may be eaten corporally AND why I pray you doth the Priest when he sheweth the hoste to the people cry Sursum corda Why doth the people answer Habemus ad dominū but because they acknowledg that even when the Sacramēt is given Christ is in heaven and is not in his body else-where So all that they prattle of the possibilitie and realitie of his bodily presence in the Eucharist is like a spiders web which is swept away with the first blast of the truth CHAPTER VII I. The bodily eating is indecent and iniurious to Christ II. The reply of the Adversaries impertinent III. The same eating is vnprofitable to the eaters CERTAINLY although it were possible it is vndecent and iniurious to Iesus Christ Are the accidents of a crust a convenient garment to cover the Sonne of God Is it fit that he who vpholdeth all things by the word of his power should be borne betweene the fingers of a Priest who is in perpetuall feare least he fall Are the stomackes of men which are puddles of infection Temples well suting the Lord of glory The Cherubims and Seraphims all the Angels of God worship and serue him in heavē The divels themselues stoop and bow downe their heads before him from the lower hels and men which are no better then Grashoppes put him to an open shame maintaining as I haue said that not onely wicked men but also fowles beasts wormes may eat him l Thom. 3. q. 80. art 3. Quidā dixerunt quod statim cum Sacramentū tangitur a mure vel cane desinit ibi corpus esse Christi quod etiam derogat veritati Sacramenti Alexan. Halens part 4. sum q. 45. in 1. q. 53. in 2. To let you see how farre the God of this world hath blinded them they dare say that this blasphemous divinitie derogateth nothing from the glory of our Lord Iesus Christ WHY m Thom. ibi Because forsooth he was crucified by sinners without any diminution of his dignitie yea was by n Math. 4.5.8 the divell transported from one place to another But these things did befall him in the dayes of his flesh Then he came to be tempted to be abused and crucified by wicked men Then o Heb. 4.15 he was in all things tempted like as we are yet without sinne But now p Eph. 1.20.21 he sitteth at the right hand of his Father in the heauenly places farre aboue all principalities and power and might and dominion Now q Heb. 2.7 he is crowned with glory and honour Now r Phil. 2 9 10. God hath highly exalted him and given him a Name which is aboue every name that at the Name of Iesus every knee should bow of things in heauen and things in earth and things vnder the earth And shall he now now be in a worse case then he was in his greatest infirmitie For then he did not enter into mens bellies and did not feare the gnawing of wormes nor the teeth of mice nor the intrals of beasts What say Papists is not God every where and is not defiled True But the body of Christ is not It is a true body Therefore if it be in the body of a man or of a beast it must touch them And it cannot touch them but it must be defiled by them They aske againe Doth not the light of the Sunne inlighten the whole aire Is it not spread over the whole earth Shineth it not in the most infected places and is not infected True also For the light in the Sunne and in the aire is not a body it is an accident But the body of Christ is a true body If the Sunne it selfe were vpon a dunghill it should be soyled as well as the aire wherein the light is So the body of Christ if it touch our bodies must necessarily be contaminated And although it were not I say that it cannot be lodged in the stincking bellies of men or beasts but it must be dishonoured Wherefore I conclude that this eating of the body of Christ is not onely impossible but also indecent outragious to Christ WHAT although it were possible What although Christ were not dishonoured by it I aske cui bono The least of the workes of GOD hath some vse This which is thought to be one of the most wonderfull hath none at all Christ must over-turne the whol order of nature he must be subiect to the intention of a Priest he must be at once in heaven on earth he must contract his body to the capacitie of a little round crust and haue his head in his feete and all the parts of his body pellemelled He must be kept in a boxe and often tarry there till he get a white coate To what purpose so many monstrous wonders To saue men No no. Many men since the beginning of the world till Christ haue benne saved without this eating Many every day goe to heaven without it Many wicked men are damned with it Those who communicate every day reape no profit by it For no meate doth good except it sticke to him that eateth it Whereas the body of Christ doth not continue in them But it must scoure to heaven as fast as it came from it having no longer leaue to stay then till the accidents be consumed and giving no oddes in Paradise to them who are every other day so carefull to receiue it For what end doe wee eate our daily bread To sustaine our liues For what end must we eate the bread which came downe from heaven must Iesus Christ enter into vs He himselfe answereth saying ſ Ioh. 6.57 He that eateth me even he shall liue by me and that for ever as he saith in my Text. And yet Papists confesse that to haue his body in our bodies bringeth no such advantage to any man The Virgin Mary had him nine moneths in her wombe and Elizabeth said vnto her t Luk. 1.45 Blessed is shee that beleeved And when a woman said vnto Christ u Luk. 11.27.28 Blessed is the womb that bare thee and the papes which thou hast sucked he reiected that saying with this answere Yea blessed are they that heare the Word of God and keepe it shewing that it is not the having of his body in our bodies but the having of him and of his word in our hearts by faith and obedience that quickeneth and blesseth vs. Which I will proue declaring first the true manner how CHRIST giveth this bread and next how we receiue it CHAPTER
