A15491	Mnemosyn[on kyrio-]euchariston A treatise of the supper of the Lord in commemoration of his death, and the manifolde benefits thereby receiued; wherein the monstrous transubstantiated masse idole of that seven headed inchanting whore of Rome is stampt to power, to giue al the to drink [sic], which make it their only pleasure to swill themselues in the dregs thereof: and wherein also the doctrintes & vses which arise from thence, are most soundly & sincerely delivered. By Iohn Willovghby. Exhomologesis: a praier, or generall confession or our manifold sinnes vnto the Lord.	Willoughbie, John.	1603 (1603)	STC 25759; ESTC S102159	54,565	174

sinnes when we were in case of misery wholie trodden downe and vanquished of the Devill and lying as it were groveling in our filthines doth raise vs vp again free vs from death nourish comfort refresh and quicken our farre yea whole spent soules vnto life not temporal but eternall Q. What is the Coniunction namelie of the Signe with the Thing signified A. It is a most true and spiritual coniunction grounded on the promises of Christ and wrought by the holy Ghost Q. Is there no mutation then of the bread and wine or at least no physical copulation A. There is no change of the Elemēts in respect of their substaunce but yet there is a mutation of them in respect of the end viz. The bread wine are no more novv prophane or common meate drinke but do serue and are applied rather vnto a proper sacramentall and sacred vse and end And that learned and worthy man M. Beza Dial. 2. saith that the mystical Symbols bread and wine even after the sanctifying of them doe not leese their proper nature For S. Paule saith he euen after the giuing of thankes calleth bread stil by the name of bread 1. Cor. 11. vide locum Q. Can you instance in such a change A. Verie wel For wax which is affixed to euidēces differeth nothing in substance from that which is vnsealed but in the vse there is such a change or alteration that the one doth signifie confirme the writings whereto it is annexed whenas the other which is remoued and not applied to that vse doth not Q. If there be no physicall copulation or Consubstātiation as the Lutherās hold neither mutation of the substance of the Signes which the Papists call transubstantiation why doth St. Iohn Chap. 6. say that wee must eate the flesh of Christ and drinke his blood A. St. Iohn doeth by this manner of speaking set downe most perspicuouslie vnto the eies as it were of our soules the verie summe of the promise of the Gospel as namelie what faith is by which wee doe enioie those promised good things to the end we might vnderstand how the vertue thereof doth beareful sway in our hearts cheering and lifting vs vp to buckle mightelie against the frontiers of sinne the world and the Deuil Q. Then by this it seemeth that to eate the flesh of Christ and to drinke his blood are taken for one the selfe same thing as to beleeue in Christ A. It is so And therefore S. Austen saith plainely Crede manducasti that is beleeue and thou hast eaten Q. But can you proue that to eate and to beleeue are one thing in the Scriptures A. Easilie out of the sixt chap. of Iohn and the 40. 47. verses as verely verely I say vnto you hee that beleeveth in mee hath everlasting life Now vers 51. of the same chap. hee expresseth this another way that is by eating of his flesh As I am that living bread which came downe from heaven if any man eate of this bread he shall liue for ever and the bread that I will giue is my flesh which I will giue for the life of the world Here you maie see that both these manner of speeches though diverse in words yet al one in sense and meaning do obtaine likewise one the selfesame promise euen life eternal Moreouer hence it riseth that the Fathers oftētimes treating vpon the Supper of the Lord do cite those places out of the sixt of Ioh not that they thought the Lord to haue spoken there precisely strictlie or solelie of the Supper of the Lord but that rather because in the right lawful vse of the Supper faith of the thing promised is there sensiblie as one may say expressed by the Lorde vnder the names of eating drinking of which promise the Supper is a pledg and seale Q. Seeing there is now no physicall application doe wee receiue onlie the bare tokens of the things signified or els are they effectuallie there given vs A. For so much as Christ is the verie truth it selfe and therfore most faithful in all his promises so vndoubtedly according to his promise made at his Supper and as the Signes do represent he maketh vs partakers of his verie substance to make vs grow therby into one life with him Calu. Q. Christ is in heaven as Act. 3. cap. 21. verse sci VVhom the heaven must containe vntill the time that all things be restored besides looke all these places as Hebr. 7.26 Eph. 4.10 Act. 1.11 Act. 7.56 Act. 1.9 Ioh. 6.62 Colloss 3.1 Act. 2.33 Psal 110.1 Luk. 22.69 Luk. 24.51 Ioh. 12.8 Heb. 10.12 1. Tim. 3.16 and we are heere Pilgrims on the earth How then can this Vnion of substance bee A. This Vnion is not in respect of the place for so indeede is the body of Christ in Heauen 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or circumscriptible but it is in respect of our faith by which we do worthily receiue this holy mysterie For Christ although he be in heaven according to his humane nature and so sitteth glorified at the right hand Iohn 17.5 of his Father both our Mediatour and Intercessour vnto God for vs yet is hee also these fiue waies present in the earth with vs. viz. 1. By his Godhead and Spirit 2. By our faith in him 3. By mutual loue 4. By his vnion with humane nature that is in Coniunction of his Soule and body with ours 5. By hope of our Consummation glorification Or According to others thus the presēce of Christ now with vs is twofolde the one in respect of his person the other in respect of his office In Person hee is with vs as true God filling both heauen and earth In of fice he is with vs by his grace Spirit Math. 28.20 And loe I am with you alway vntill the end of the world Amen But Christ in his Humanity is not with vs but so hee sitteth at the right hand of the Father and of the throne of his Maiestie in Heauen Heb. 8.1 Q. So then this commeth to passe by the wonderous and vnsearchable working of Gods Spirit powring faith into vs which faith coupling vs with the Son of God causeth that wee are more neerely ioined vnto the flesh and blood of Christ then we are vnto the bread which we eat the wine which we drinke A. Iust For indeede such is the effectualnes of faith which it hath frō the powerful working of Gods holy Spirit that it doth most neerly cōioine things which are in place farthest remoued asunder Concerning this Coniunction therefore of ours with Christ it is manifest that the Fathers doe all agree with this which hath bin said for the right receiving and vnderstanding of this Sacrament and more especially for the words of our Sauiour Christ Ioh. 6. cap. verse 53.56 As Then Iesus said vnto them verely verely I say vnto you Except yee eate the flesh of the Son of man drinke his bloode yee haue no life
