blessed mot he be Oliu. Nicholas ye blesse Christ but you cal his word new learning herisie and babling Nich. Naye that I do not Oliuer Did not you cal the holy readyng of the Byble so euen now Nich. why our sir Iohn telleth vs it was made by king Harry theight Oli. No good Nicholas no. That gratious king set it out and commaūded that the people should reade it without ani letting But the Bible is gods boke and al that is in it is gods truth Therfore the old fathers that we should folow ar Christes prophetes and Apostles and Christ him selfe and not our old grandsires grandames For God geueth an expresse cōmaundement zacha i. saying Be not lyke your forefathers vnto whom the prophets cryed before tyme saying Thus saith the lord god of hostes Turne from your euell waies and from your wicked imaginations they heared not nor toke heede vnto me saieth the Lorde Nich. Our forefathers were good men Olyuer But yet Christ was better Nich. They were wise men Oliu. Yea but yet Christe was wyser Nich. They were holy men Oliue But Christ is holier And what soeuer you can recken of them goodnes i. corin i. wisedome holynes c. Christ excelleth them in al things For he is made of god vnto vs our wisdō rightuousnes holines sanctification Iho. xiiii and redemption Christ is the way the truth and the life and no man can come to the father but by him He that heareth Christes wordes hath life euerlasting But Nicholas tell me cā sir Iohn make an oxe or an horse Nicho. Nay by mi truth I trow not Oli. How can he thē make gods body Nich. It is no matter how we must beleue so for he saith so Olyu Nay Nicholas we must not beleue al that sir Iohn saith but we must beleue all that he saith and hath gods word to confirme his saying And this is an intollerable pride of the papistes to teach the people that thei make gods body Truth it is Eph. iiii that Christ ascending into heauē gaue gyftes vnto men and appoynted church ministers but far other thē greased shauelinges for he apointed Apostles prophetes Euangelistes Shepheardes and teachers Phili. i. And saint Paule calleth the ministers of the church by the names of Bishops and Deacons i. Tim. iii. The office of these ministers appointed by Christ and S. Paul Luk. xiiii is to preach gods word to cal al men to repentaunce and amendement of life Iohn xxi i. Tim. iiii to declare to them that repent the good newes of the gospel Nich. Yea the prests wer wōt to come to our houses to say vs gospels make vs holi water holy bread and so I trust they wil again now Oliue I pray the heare me a litle The gospel is a glad tidings that god the father Luke ii for his sonne Iesus Christes sake ii cori v. is contented and reconciled and receiueth mā againe to his fauour and grace Gala. iiii and wyll for his sonne Iesus Christes loue take vs by adoptiō to be his children Ephesi i. giue vs his holy gost make vs enheritours of eternal life Ioh. xvii And to confirme this promise our Sauiour Iesus Christ hath ordained .ii. holy sacraments Titus iii. Baptisme wherin we are certified that al our sins are washed away in the death of Christ i. corin xi And the holi supper of the lord that when we come together we should take the bread Mat xxvi breake it Mar. xiiii eate it in remembraunce that Christes bodi was vpon the good Fridai offered vp vpō the crosse for our sinnes Luk. xxii and we shoulde al drinke of the cup in rēmembraūce that Christes bloud was shed for our sins Therfore this is the priestes office to preach the death of Iesus Christ and to teach the people to know that none other thing could deliuer them frō their sins and therfore they ought both to consyder the haynous vglines of sin and the great wrath of god ouer it which otherwise wold not be reconciled nor atone with mā Rom. viii Then on the other parte to declare the great mercy loue charitie of god towards vs that spared not his own beloued sōne but gaue him to the death of the cros for vs. Thus shoulde they be moued to repent the euel done to beleue and loue the charitie of God to walke in loue good frendship one to an other euer studying to liue an obedient life after the heauenly fathers wil and commaundementes Nich. Dothe not the priest make Gods bodye Do we not eate gods body Oliu. First answer me if thou can to a question or two Nicho. I wil if I can Oliue Canst thou say thy Creede in Englishe Nicho. Meanest thou the new Creede or the old Crede Oliuer There is but one Creede Nicho. I can saye that my mother taught me Credum deum I was harping at the new a good while but nowe I care not for it Oliue I se it was not for nought that christ said to his Apostles blessed ar the eyes that se that you se Luke x. For euen as then mani were blind and wold not se the light of his worde Iohn ix euen so is it now wel I wil help you out with your question Do you not beleue that the sonne of God came downe from heauen was borne for vs of the virgine Mary takyng our mans nature of her substaūce Nicho. Yes that I do Oliuer And that he was crucified for our sins dead and buried and rose agayne vpon Esterday Nicho. Yes verely Oliu. And that he ascended into heauen ▪ and sitteth on the righte hand of God the father almighti Nicho. Ye mary ye Olyu And frō thence he shall come to iudge the quicke and the dead Nich. Ye mary Olyu Do you beleue this in very dede Nicho. Ye by my trothe Oliuer Then Christes bodye was made in the wombe of the virgin not by sir Iohn but as our Creede saith he was conceaued of the holy gost Luke i. borne of the virgin mari Other making of Christes body ther is none nor neuer was nor neuer shal be Thus our lord sauiour liued in this world August in Ioa. tract Item in pref pī xcviii taught vs the wai of gods truth euē the doctrine that is set out in the holy Byble wherof the chief and principal article is how we are redemed frō our sinnes and receaued into the fauour and grace of God by that holy raunsome of Christes bodye broken vpon the crosse his precious blud that was on the crosse shed for vs. The holy bread geuē at the lordes supper is the sacrament of Christes bodye that was broken on the crosse and the blessed cup that we drincke is the sacrament of that blessed blud shed for our synnes And when we receiue them as our body fedeth vp

on the outwarde thinges we se so our soules are fed with the inward thinges we see not For the verye flesh of Christ is not eaten wyth our bodilye tethe nor his bloude dronke with our bodily mouthes or throtes but it is a sacramental eating done bi the soule minde not by the bodye or carnal instruments of the body Nicho. Howe can we eate but with our tethe or how can we drincke but wyth our throtes Oliu. You shal the better vnderstande thys misterye if you marke Christes dede when his holye sacrament was first instituted Christ him selfe satte at the table with his .xii. Apostles and taking the bread that stode before them euen such bread as they then vsuallye had to eate with the pascall lambe and gaue thanckes to hys heauenlye father and brake that bread and gaue it to them saying Take eate ye this is mi bodi whiche is broken for you They dyd take the bread and did eate as he commaunded them and they dyd drincke the cup that he delyuered them saying this is my bloude of the new testament which is shed for you Yet it was the next daye ere his bodye was broken and hys bloud shed vpon the crosse for vs and he sat whole amongst them at supper and him selfe did eate of that same bread which he called his body and dyd him selfe drink of that cuppe which he called his bloud therfore by faith they dyd receyue and eate his body drink his bloud They beleued that hys death and passion shoulde be for them and into remission for theyr sinnes as we now that Christ is ascended into heauen by faith doo eate his body broken and drincke his bloud shed although that he liueth sitteth on the right hand of his father But Christes veri naturall bodye is not toren with our teethe as the Capernites erroure thincketh nor yet his bloud dornk with our throtes mouthes But Nicholas haue you not a soule as wel as a bodye Nicho. Yes that I haue Oliue what maner of thing is your soule Nicho. By mi troth I can not tel Olyu I thinke Nicholas no more cā the greatest doctor of them al. And therfore because the soule is vnknowen vnto vs the scripture speaking of the soule those thinges that appertain vnto it vseth such wordes as we are aquainted with ascribeth those things vnto the soule that ar proper vnto the body So Dauid said My soule O Lorde thirsteth vnto the. And Christ saith Blessed are those that hunger and thurste for rightuousnes The harty desire of the soule is the hunger and thurst of the soule as the herty desire of meate and drincke is the hunger thurst of the bodi Therfore when a sinner feleth the burden of sinne vpon his conscience and the lacke of strength and power to do the wyl of God and is touched wyth gods spirit to be sory for this vnperfectnes and longeth fain to be deliuered this is the hunger of the soule This hunger is not satisfied tyl he heare the preaching of christes bodie broken for our sinnes that by his bloudshed our synnes ar forgiuen vs our infirmities healed we receiued into the grace and fauour of God But when we beleue this then is our hunger slaked and our thurst put away that is we feare no more dampnation but knowe that in Christ we haue our pardon Thus we eate Christ beleuing that his body was brokē for vs and that his blud was shed for our sinnes Nich. wherfore eat we the Sacrament than we maye do this by hearing the preaching Oliu. I am glad that thou askest me this question for it seemeth thou wouldest faine vnderstand something of this matter As to writinges men set to seales for a confyrmation of the same writinges so Christ set to his worde his Sacramentes for a confirmation of our faith in his worde And to put vs the better in memory of the gifte geuen vnto vs by his word he called the same Sacramentes by the name of the gift geuen vnto vs in them So circumcisiō is called the Lordes league the pascal lambe is called the Lordes passing thorow Egipt Babtisme is called the new birth and the breade and wine is called the bodie and bloud of the Lord. Therefore Nicholas marke wel this In the Lords Sacraments ther ar .ii. things an earthli thing and an heauenli In Baptisme the earthli thing is water that washeth the bodie the heauenlie thing is the blod of Christ that washeth the soule and the holie gost renuing the hole man and sanctifying him in Iesu Christ In the holi supper of the Lord the earthli thing is bread and wine that we receiue at our mouthes into our bodyes which are digested in our stomaks and bi the natural powers conuerted chaūged into our substaūce and the excrementes of thē naturalli cast forth frō vs as other meates be but the heauenlie things at the blessed bodi of our lord sauiour Iesus Christ broken for vs his bloud shedde for vs vpon the crosse which we receiue bi faith with al the blessed frutes and profites that Christ bi his deathe resurrection ascencion intercession and priesthoode hathe obtained for vs. This swetelie and comfortablie we meditate in our mindes bi the working of the holy ghost it is distribute into al our actions dedes and we are wholi receiued into Christ to be one bodie wyth him as S. Paule saieth Heb. ii He that sanctifieth and thei whiche are sanctified are al of one And againe S. Paule saith The cuppe of thankesgeuing which we blisse is partaking of the bloud of Christ and the bread whiche we brake is partaking of the body of Christ For we though we be mani yet ar one bread one bodie in asmuch as we al ar partakers of one bread Nicho. These ar good words but our sir Iohn wil denie all this and we must do as our curate teacheth vs. Oliu. what teacheth he you Nic. That he offereth vp Christ in his Masse for our frendes soules Oliu. Yea but take awai moni that ye like fooles giue him and he wil sing another song In verye dede Christ was offered for our sinnes Heb. ix x but that was once for al and then he offered him self vpō the crosse as our Crede saith after he had so by that offering satisfied vnto God neither neded he anye more to sacrifice nor we ani more sacrifices for vs. For by one oblation once offered he hath made perfect vnto God al that are sanctified Sir Iohn therefore is a false Antichrist and a disceiteful iugler in this point teacheth his owne dreame and not gods worde And I pray you what woorde of God hath sir Iohn to hang vp the Sacrament in the pixe Nicho. Mary sir it is a goodly sight in the churche Oliuer But Nicholas oure crede saith Mat. xvi Lu. xxiiii Actes i. that Christ ascēded in to heauen and sitteth on the right hand of God the

Israel but it is thou O Achab and thy fathers house Osee iiii viii that haue forsakē the lord your God and haue serued Baal So Nicholas lay the fault wher it is worthy to be layed and doubt ye not Prou. i. but the day is at hand except ye repent that as ye now cast away God and his word so wyl god cast you away and as he called to you and ye would not hear him so shal you cal to him Pro. xviii and he will not heare you And you that haue stopped your eares that ye might not hear the law God shal stop his eares frō you your praiers shal be accurssed Nich. Tush care not for that God was neuer better serued thē he is now Mattins euensōg masse goodli sōg with prycksong organs we do all good thinges as we were wont to do Oli. Yea yea ye serue him as ye list and not as he commaundeth For he commaundeth you to beleue in his sonne and to folow his holy word but thys ye leaue vndone then ye pipe hym a daunce on the organes Nicho. Ther is nothing pleaseth the. Oli. what can please ani Christiā hart when he seeth gods worde set aside and contemned But Nicholas ▪ wherefore serueth holye candels Nich. To light vp in thūder and to blesse men when they lye a dying Oliuer The true light for thē that lie a dying is to know the sweete promises of Iesus Christ howe he dyed for our sinnes and purchased for vs resurrection and life that euery one that beleueth vpon him should not perishe but passe from deathe vnto lyfe As Christe saith Iohn xi I am the resurrectiō and lyfe he that beleueth in me although he were dead yet shall he liue and whosoeuer lyueth beleueth in me he shal neuer dy Ioh. viii And againe Christ saith Verelye verelye I saye vnto you if a man kepe my sayinges he shall neuer se death Iohn vi And againe in the gospel of S. Iohn Al that the father hath geuē me shal come vnto me him that cōmeth vnto me I cast not away For I came downe frō heauen not to do mine owne wil but his wil that sent me And this is the fathers wil whych hath sēt me that of of al which he hath geuen me I should lose nothing but shoulde rayse them vppe agayne at the last daye And thys is the wyll of hym that sent me that eueri man that seeth the sonne and beleueth on him haue euerlasting lyfe And I wyll rayse them vppe at the last daye Thys lyghte so comforted Dauid that he sayed Psal xxvi The Lord is mi light my helth whom shall I feare And agayne Yf I shoulde walke in the myddest of the shadowe of deathe Psa xxii I wyll not feare euell for thou O Lord art wyth me Thys lyghte cōforted old Simeō that he said Lord now lettest thou thi seruant depart in peace Luke ii accordyng to thy word c. This holi candel shone so bright in S. Paules eies that he said Phill. ii I long to be dissolued and to be with Christ This is our defēce against the thunder claps of gods wrath that falleth vpon sinners And wher this holy light of gods worde shineth Ioh. viii men walke not in darkenesse but haue the light of life But wher this is not what can thy holy candel do but light the into a wrong belefe so lead the into the darke dongeon of hell wherefore serueth holye palmes Nich. To make crosses to bear in our pursses and to set vp vpō our windowes and dores that the diuel come not nigh vs nor into our houses Oliu. what if the deuil be in the house or euer the crosse be set vp Nich. Then let him flye away on the diuels name Oli. How shal he flye out seing the doores and windowes be so crossed that he dare not come nie them Shall he creepe into the benche hole or fly out at the top of the chymney Nich. He maye if he list for I beleue he hath no power to comeny the holy crosse Oliuer what if a crosse were set there made of an hasell sticke or of an vnhalowed palme wer it not so good as this Nich. No mary were it not Oliue why so Nich. For this made vpon Palme sundai in the passion time of halowed palme Oliuer Se the craftie diuel ▪ and how the people are deluded with blinde guydes The old church kept a memorye the sūday before Ester how Christes glory was openly receiued acknowledged among the Iewes when they met him with date tree bowes and other faire bowes and confessed that he was the sonne of God commen into the worlde to saue mankinde and the gospel declaring the same was apointed to be read on that day But nowe our blind leaders of the blind toke away the knowledge of this with their latine processioning so that amonge .x. thousande scarce one knew what this ment They haue their laudable dumme ceremonies with lēten crosse vptide crosse and these two must iustle til Lent breake his necke Then cakes must be cast out of the steple that al the boyes in the parish must lie scambling together by the eares ▪ tyl all the parish falleth a laughīg Nic. By our Lady I haue laughed well at it ere this Oliu. Yea Nicholas I warant the the deuil laugheth ful merily that he coulde with suche preatye toies mocke out Christes gospel And then where the auncient fathers apointed the history of Christes passiō to be read that it being wel knowen vnto the people they might the more depelier weigh the causes of the same and profit that cōmeth vnto mankind this the deuil his ministers mocked out with the latin tong whiche many times neither the priest nor people vnderstode But Lord what Apes play made thei of it in great Cathederal churches Abbaies Nich. what did they there Oliu. One comes furth in his albe and his long stole for so they call their girde that they put aboute their neckes thys must be leashe wise as hunters weares their hornes This solempne syre played Christes part a gods name Then another cōpanye of singers chyldren and al song in priksong the Iewes part And the deuil the deacon I should haue said read the the middel text Nicho. what dyd the prest at the alter al this while Oliu. He stoode mum and played Iudas that betrayed his Mayster And in the meane time because it was teadiouse to be vnoccupyed suche playne soules as thou art made crosses of palme to set vpō your dorss to beare in your purses to chace awai the diuel god beforen Hath not our spiritualtie well ordred this matter trow ye to turne the reading preaching of Christes passion into such wel fauoured pastymes But tell me Nicholas hathe not thy wyfe a crosse of palme aboute her Nich. Yes in her pursse Oliuer And a go on
