¶ A confutacion of that Popishe and Antichristian doctryne whiche mainteineth y e ministracyon and receiuing of the sacrament vnder one kind made Dialogewise betwene the Prieste and the Prentyse by Gracyous Menewe ¶ Math. 26. Drinke ye all of this for thys is my bloude whych is of the new testamente that is shed for you for the remission of synnes To all faythfull readers that loue Chryst and his doctrine sincerely Gracyous Menew wysheth grace peace of conscience gostly strength from god the father thorowe our Lorde and sauyoure Iesu Christe SOme there bee moste Chrystian and faythful brethren whyche nowe at thys presente that true relygion goeth to wracke doe not one lye thynke but also are fullye perswaded in themselues that it is no offence at al to Communicate wyth the Papystes that so shamefullye mutilate or mangle the sacramente of the body and bloud of Chryste that they cut of and take awaye y e one halfe from the lay people contrary to the institucion and ordynaunce of the heauenly wysedome of god our sauioure Iesu Chryst. But if they woulde weygh the saying of S. Paul in the .5 Chapter to the Ephesians where he wryteth on this wyse haue no felowshyppe wyth the vnfrutefull woorkes of darkenes and agayne be not partakers of other mens synnes they would be otherwyse mynded and be dryuen cleane away from that foolyshe perswasyon of theyrs For if the cutting of manglyng or takynge awaye of halfe the sacramēt from the people of god is no vnfrutefull worke of darknes and such a synne as none other in a maner is to be compared wyth it I cānot tell what we should cal works of darkenes or what we shold nāe synne Thys is moste sure welbeloued that whatsoeuer man doeth imagyne and inuente besydes wythoute gods worde or agaynst the institucion of hym that is the only true lyghte that lighteth all men that come in to the worlde It must be mere darkenes But thys mangling of the sacrament is an inuencion of wycked men whych leauyng or rather despicynge the worde of god and ordynaunce of hys sonne Iesu Chryst our Lord folowe the madde phantasyes of their owne braynes therefore it muste nedes folowe that it is a worke of darkenes ▪ not onely vnfrutefull but also most noyesome and hurtefull ye and of all other moste pernytyous For beesydes that by it gods wrath is kyndled and hys vengeaūce prouoked they goe aboute most earnestly by this deuilishe inuentyon of theyrs to nourysh mayntayne defende and vpholde their blasphemous doctryne of transubstantiacion in the sacramente perswadyng the symple and ignoraunt people that after the wordes of consecracyon as they call it be once spoken there remayneth neyther bread nor wyne but the very true and naturall body of our sauioure Iesu Chryste flesh bloud and bones as he was borne of the virgin hangynge on the crosse dyd lie in the graue and afterwardes beeyng raysed again from the dead ascended vp into heauen and therefore say they it cannot be but that vnder the forme of breade they receyue both flesh and bloud except we would haue a body wythout bloud Thys doctryne I say goe they about to establyshe by thys theyr manglynge of the sacrament what pretense or coloure soeuer they haue besydes Therefore haue no felowshyppe wyth theyr vnfrutefull noysome and hurtful workes of darkenesse be no more partakers of their sīne lest ye be also partakers with thē of the ponyshmentes and plagues that god threateneth vnto them that preferryng theyr vnwyse and foolyshe knowledge beefore hys heauenly wysedome doe arrogantly presume and take vpon them to immutate chaunge and alter any of hys ordynaunces and lawes And that thys matter of the sacrament myght the better bee vnderstanded and the intollerable blasphemy of the manglyng therof soner espyed and perceaued I haue here compyled a small treatyse wherein all the argumentes and reasons that the Popes catholiks can bryng for the mayntenaunce of their abomynacyon are I truste so substancially confuted that theī shall not haue one woorde to saye wherein also ye shall learne howe farre they are deceaued that think it no offence to receyue wyth them that so blasphemouslye breake the lordes institucion and ordinaūce what clokes soeuer they can bryng for to cloke their synnefull doings wyth all Onely I desyer this one thyng of you that ye wil take this my rude doyng in good parte and pray wyth me that god of hys fatherly goodnes and mercy vouche safe to loke vpon our afflyctions and forgettyng our offences and the offences of our forefathers delyuer vs from thys moste myserable thraldome and captiuitye of conscience that we bee in that we may wyth a free and vpryght hart honor loue and serue hym in holynes and ryghteousnes al the dayes of our lyfe Whyche thyng wythout all peraduenture if wyth true repentaunt heartes and faythfull prayers we call vpon hym he wyll graunte vnto vs through the merytes of hys sonne Iesu Chryste oure Lord and sauiour to whō wyth the father and the holy goste be all prayse glory and honoure worlde wythoute ende Amen A confutacion of all such argumentes and reasōs as the popes catholikes doe bring for to proue the mutilate and corrupted receauyng of the sacrament vnder one kynde contrary to the Lordes institucyon and ordeynaunce made Dialogue wyse betwene the Priest and the Prentyse compyled by Gracious Menew The Pryeste WHy yonge man wyl ye not receaue y e blessed sacramēt Answere me dyrectly that I may make report to mine ordinary Prentyse Saynct Paul sayeth playnly that whosoeuer eateth of thys bread and drynketh of thys cup vnworthely doeth eate drynke hys owne damnacion And the holy father Ambrose wrytyng vpon that place or text of the Apostel sayeth playnly that they doe receyue vnworthely that doe minister or receaue the sacrament otherwyse then Chryste hath instituted and ordeyned but as ye minister it it is done otherwyse then the lorde hath appoynted and ordeyned therefore it cannot bee but an vnworthy receauinge and so consequently an eatyng and drynkyng of theyr own damnacyon that bee partakers of it Priest I would fayne know what fautes ye fynde in thys kynde of mynystracyon that is now a dais vsed in the church Prentyse First and formest the order of the holye gost is broken whyche wyll haue nothyng to be done in the congregacyon wythoute edyfyinge And what edyfyinge shall the people haue there where all thynges be done in a straunge tonge whyche scarcely the Pryest himselfe doeth vnderstande Secondly the holye goste willeth that whensoeuer we eate of that bread and drynke of y e cuppe we shoulde shewe forth the Lordes death tyll he come meaning therby that whensoeuer the Communyon is ministred y e death of Chryste and the benefytes therof shoulde be preached set forth vnto the Congregacyon whereby they should be moued to hate and abhorre synne and to geue moste earnest thankes vnto god for their deliueraunce from
