so wicked vnfaythful An other sort of teachers preach the receiuing of the sacrament with our mouth and chewing it wyth our teth we eate not nor receyue Christes natural bodi and drinking and receiuing the wine with our lippes throt we drink not Christes bloude except we faithfully and constantlie beleue Christes bodie to be betrayed for vs and his bloud to be shed for the remission of oure sinnes For the mouth saye they receyueth not nor tasteth anie other thing then breade and wyne But Christes body slaine his bloud shed for the remission of our sinnes which is the spirituall gyfe and grace of God geuen to vs in the sacramēt the soule eateth and receyueth by fayth to his great spiritual comfort cōmoditie and profit and the mouth cannot receiue nor tast it For cōfirmacion wherof thei say that man consisteth and is made of a bodie and of a soule the bodi is a natural and a materiall substance which is fed with natural and corporal sustenaunce noryshement And the soule of man which we cal the spirit mynde is a spiritual substaūce which cā not eate nor receiue anye bodelie meat sustinaūce For the soule being a spiritual substaūce hath no teth mouth nor stomacke to receyue or degest anie suche bodelie sustinaūce Math .xv. for that which entreth into the mouthe defileth not the soule which is in the inward mā saith Christ So in lykewise that whiche entreth into the mouthe profiteth not the soule beyng the inward man which cānot receiue it So that the sacrament which the vngodlie sai bi vertue of gods word spoken by the priest is turned into the natural reall and corporal bodie of Christes natural substaunce leauyng the nature of bread is yet such a natural substaunce that cānot enter into the spiritual soule by bodelie eatyng and receyuynge therefore with the mouth For our soule is norished fed liueth bi the spirit of Christ and not by the bodeli eatyng of his body with our teeth For in the maner of eatinge with the teeth Christes flesh profiteth not saith Christ It is his holy spirit that qu●ckeneth and maketh vs aliue for spirit liueth not but bi the spirit of Christ For whosoeuer hath the spirit of Christ the same is Christes saith Paul And as touching this bodeli eating of Christes bodie with the teeth of men it differeth not from the fond vngodli opinion of the Capernaites rehersed in the .vi. of Ihon. Which hearyng Christ say I am the bread of lyfe and the bread which I wil geue you is my fleshe And further he sayd excepte you eate my flesh drink my bloud you shal not haue life in you They sayde this word and sayng is veri hard Who can heare hym how can he geue vs his flesh to eate For thei thought that he woulde haue geuen vnto thē perceles and gobbettes of hys natural and bodily flesh to eate with their teeth and to haue let out part of hys natural bloud for them to drink Euē lyke as some of our clergie groselie and no lesse fondlie imagyne and without any feare of God or worldlie shame preache the same And althoughe Christ louyngly myndyng and wyllyng to teache them the profitable and spiritual eatyng and drinkyng of his flesh and bloude sayde doo these my wordes offende you what and yf you shall see the sonne of manne ascēde where he was before The spirit quickneth the fleshe profiteth not Yet this his answer did nothyng teach theym the godlye and spiritual eatyng drinking of his naturall fleshe and bloude because as Christ sayd there were som of them which did not beleue So that without true belefe no man can eate Christes fleshe and drinke his bloud Iohn .vi. and then he eateth and drynketh it spirituallie to his godli profite Also if the sacramēt be turned into Christes natural and real bodie as the most part of oure cleargie vntrulie do preache teache then it weare also reson that the same natural-and reall bodie should also be receiued and perceiued with our sēses For Christes natural bodie al though it be nowe glrified and immortal yet it is not so spirituall that it is inuisible and that proued Christ when after his resurrectiō he appered vnto his disciples saiyng Luke .xxiiii Fele and se a spirit hath not fleshe bones as you seme haue Wherfor doubtles if his real and natural bodie were corporally present in the sacramente it sholde be both felt and sene Because selynge and feinge be two naturall properties declared by-Christ whereby a naturall bodie is perceiued and knowne to be visible and to occupie place For as saint Augustine sayth to Dardanum That doubtles Christes natural bodie is in heauē For saith he take from bodies the roume space of places and they shal be no where and if thei be no where thē thei shall not be Wherfore if his naturall bodie were in the sacrament it must nedes occupie roume and place in the sacramēt Hebru .iiii. euen aswell as it doth in heauen or aswell as anye other naturall substaunce occupieth place And thē Christes bodie beyng and occupiyng place in heauen cannot also in one tyme occupie place in the sacrament For hys naturall bodie cannot occupie two places bothe at one tyme. For Christ is like vnto vs his reasonable creaturs in all thyngs except onlie in syne But our bodies after our resurrection shal be visible wherefore doubtles Christes bodie shal also be visible whersoeuer it be presēt Or elese he hath no natural bodie But a shadow or fantasticall bodi which is Marcians-heresye Christ also saith Iohn .xvi you shal haue pore folkes alweis with you but me you shal not haue alwais wyth you Also Iesus knowynge that his howre was come that he should go to his father How shal he go to hys father excepte in his humanitie which euer was present with his father in hys Godhead Act .iii. Also S. Peter in the Actes sayth repent and turne you that your synnes may be done awaye That when the tyme of rest shall come from the syght of the lorde he shal send him which is preached vnto you Iesus Christ whō the heauens must receyue vntyl all thynges whiche were spoken bi the mouth of the prophetes be fulfylled Also Paul sayth as often as we shall eate of the breade i. Cor .xi. and drynke of the cuppe we shall shewe the death of the Lorde vntyll he come whiche wordes vntyl he come declare to be spoken of one that is absente and not of one that is presente Wherefore doubtles Christes naturall body is absente in heauen and not present in a corporall presence in the Sacramēt of the aultare which is no dyscomeforte nor hurte to vs that hys naturalle bodie is presēt in heauen For as the sone in sommer whē he is most highest and distant from vs workethe in the earthe most effectuousli and yeldeth hys vertue most feruentlye and aboundantlye vpon
