wherin he then shall stande of the iust iustice iudgement of God O how comfortable is this doctrine how farre passeth it al their painted fires and feyned flames of Purgatorie You sée now that the Scripture admitteth no such place you see the right meaning aswell of the Prophet as also of the Apostle You sée that their two chiefe and onely places doe serue so to their purpose that they stand plainely and altogither against them Howe shall then poore Purgatorie stande how shall the Pope mayntayne his chiefe Farme Howe shall therein his might his gaine be befended to what purpose shoulde we cloke the matter anye lenger his euidences be all naught his writings be counterfeyte his lease is antedated his witnesses be prooued partiall and periured his Lawyers haue lost their credite his interest is not good it is the Lord of hostes that sueth him the iudgement se iudice must passe against him But we see say the Purgatorians the name of Purgatorie often set forth by auncient writers And what I praye you of that what gathered they what meaned they by that name forsooth so farre were they from confessing anye such Purgatorie fire which now men so foolishly séeke to defende that some sayde the tribulation of this life and world must trie mens faith and works some said the griefe of mind in loosing that which they ouermuch loued was the burning fire of mans affections some woulde haue the grieuous vexation of departure out of this life to be a Purgatorie paines some construed the text of the fire of conflagration that shall purge the workes of many in the latter daye Here who is so blind who is so senselesse but maye vnderstande that the scope of their Pargatorie was in thys present life and that it did nothing concerne in any one point any payne in the world to come what should I wade herein any further what should I vse any more wordes with one especiall place of S. Augustine I will ende For the soules sayth he of the godlye being separated from the bodye be in rest but the soules of the wicked doe suffer paynes vntill the bodies of the one may be reuiued vnto euerlasting life and of the other vnto eternal death which is called the seconde By this he maketh but two estates of the soules departed the one now in paines who at the daye of iudgement shalbe damned and the other now in rest who then shall be saued So is their Idea Idiot dreamings of Purgatory by authorities by scripture disproued The next thing wherof we mean to treate is the sacramēt the holy remembrance of the body and bloud of our sauiour Christ which how it hath bene abused of how long a time and by whom we meane here by the assistance of God whose cause especiallye it is to expresse set forth and declare Wherein if any of our elders eyther simply or ignorantlye haue not helde and obserued that which our Lord and sauiour hath taught vs the Lords pardon may extende vnto their simplicitie but we which are nowe warned by our Sauiour and instructed may not loke for forgiuenesse If we wilfully will refuse the knowledge of the truth and the right vnderstanding of Gods holye mysteries Manifolde were the errors wherwith men haue bene blinded touching the holy supper of our Lorde touching the Cōmunion of his bodie and bloud But bicause I haue purposed to be brief I wil rather labor to shew the light right sense therin of holy scripture than to ouerthrow which is very soone done the foolish opinion of some grosse and carnall Cauphernaites Neyther yet may I altogither omit as occasion serueth to speake of the fonde iudgement of such who cannot be contented to enioye the benefites of Christ his bodie and bloude except they further O wicked follie maye teare him with their teeth and more than deuour him with their mouthes Vnto these doth S. Augustine speake To what purpose preparest thou thy teeth and thy bellie beleue and thou hast eaten Neither yet let any here suppose that I adiudge it not néedfull to eate those holye signes as things instituted by our Sauiour for vs to take and receiue in his remembrance But that the aduersaries maye throughlye be satisfied that the indifferent and welwilling maye rightly be instructed shall we sée in what wise S. Paule receiued this institution at our Lords hands That which I deliuered you the same I receiued sayeth he of the Lord. For the Lorde Iesus the same night in which hee was betrayed tooke Bread gaue thanks and brake it saying take and eate this is my bodye which shalbe giuen for you this do ye in the remembrance of me After the same maner he tooke the Cuppe when supper was done and sayd this Cup is the new testament in my bloud this doe as oft as you shall drinke it in the remembrance of me For as often as you shall eate this Breade and drinke this Cup you shall shewe the Lordes death vntill he come Therfore whosoeuer shal eate the Bread and drinke the Cuppe of our Lord vnworthily he shall be guiltie of the bodie and bloud of our Lord. Wherefore let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of that Breade and drinke of that Cuppe Thus farre speaketh S. Paule and that verie plainly Nowe come we then to the search of the text And first let those who will acknowledge there no breade way but indifferently the words as they stand Christ tooke Breade he gaue thanks and brake it What brake he Breade Who will denie it He sayde that it was his bodie That is true but howe not fleshly but spiritually It is sayth Christ the spirit that quickeneth the fleshe profiteth nothing the wordes that I spake vnto you are spirite and life Lo how euidently he aunswereth the cogitations of such as thought that they should haue eaten him carnally Hence it is that S. Augustine thus saith The first heresie sprang amongest the Disciples of Christ as it were through the hardnesse of hys words For when he sayd except one will eate my fleshe and drinke my bloud he can not haue lyfe euerlasting They here not vnderstanding sayde one vnto another this is a hard saying who can eate him and whiles they thus said they separated themselues from him and he remayned with twoo disciples whom when the other were gone he instructed It is the spirite sayth he which giueth life the flesh profiteth nothing The wordes that I spake vnto you are spirite and life You haue vnderstoode spiritually so they are spirite and lyfe You haue vnderstoode carnallye so yet are they spirite and lyfe But vnto thee they are not spirite and life which vnderstandest them not spiritually Vnderstande yee spiritually the wordes that I spake vnto you You shall not eate thys bodie which you see neyther shall you drinke the bloud which those that crucifie me shall shed I haue cōmended vnto you a kinde of
