A44805	The rock of ages exalted above Rome's imagined rock on which her church is builded she proved not to be the onely Church of Christ, her corrupt doctrines reproved not to be apostolick, but contrary to the true Church of Christ in the apostles dayes : also divers arguments answered which may convince the papists that they are not the true church wherein a book is also answered called A catechism against all sectaries, newly published by C.M. in the year 1661 / by Francis Howgil.

nature_n of_o the_o material_a bread_n be_v there_o no_o more_o oh_o horrible_a blindness_n and_o gross_a ignorance_n great_a idolatry_n and_o horrible_a blasphemy_n your_o priest_n by_o their_o word_n it_o seem_v can_v make_v god_n who_o make_v all_o thing_n and_o can_v make_v christ_n the_o redeemer_n than_o your_o priest_n be_v great_a than_o god_n and_o christ_n for_o he_o which_o creat_v and_o make_v must_v needs_o be_v great_a than_o that_o which_o be_v create_v and_o make_v and_o thou_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v real_o bread_n and_o wine_n before_o the_o priest_n sacred_a word_n be_v utter_v of_o consecration_n but_o afterward_o it_o become_v the_o real_a and_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n yea_o whole_a christ_n our_o god_n and_o redeemer_n so_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o priest_n have_v power_n in_o your_o judgement_n to_o make_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o make_v god_n and_o whole_a christ_n a_o redeemer_n oh_o that_o ever_o such_o gross_a darkness_n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n as_o for_o those_o two_o place_n in_o luke_n 22._o 1_o cor._n 11._o it_o be_v but_o a_o pitiful_a ground_n for_o you_o to_o plead_v that_o the_o material_a bread_n and_o the_o material_a cup_n be_v the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o christ_n present_v when_o he_o break_v the_o bread_n and_o give_v the_o cup_n and_o after_o too_o and_o alive_a do_v they_o eat_v his_o body_n when_o he_o be_v with_o they_o and_o drink_v his_o blood_n be_v his_o body_n break_v for_o they_o then_o before_o he_o be_v offer_v up_o and_o be_v his_o blood_n shed_v then_o before_o he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n nay_o it_o be_v manifest_a he_o be_v alive_a in_o the_o real_a body_n after_o they_o have_v earen_v the_o bread_n and_o drink_v the_o cup_n and_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n unto_o they_o of_o his_o suffer_v for_o they_o and_o of_o his_o death_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v as_o oft_o as_o they_o eat_v the_o bread_n and_o drink_v the_o cup_n they_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v and_o reveal_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o life_n and_o power_n and_o then_o they_o see_v and_o feel_v that_o which_o be_v signify_v through_o the_o figure_n before_o that_o like_o as_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o cup_n do_v nourish_v the_o natural_a man_n likewise_o their_o soul_n be_v feed_v and_o nourish_v with_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o they_o know_v and_o feel_v little_a of_o when_o christ_n break_v the_o bread_n and_o give_v the_o cup_n and_o do_v not_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o door_n i_o be_o the_o way_n i_o be_o the_o vine_n and_o also_o this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n why_o shall_v one_o place_n be_v literal_o and_o natural_o understand_v and_o interpret_v and_o not_o another_o so_o 2_o and_o we_o do_v not_o question_v what_o christ_n can_v do_v but_o what_o he_o do_v that_o he_o turn_v water_n into_o wine_n we_o do_v believe_v and_o that_o god_n make_v the_o world_n of_o nothing_o be_v for_o thou_o to_o prove_v yet_o and_o that_o christ_n make_v himself_o invisible_a &_o pass_v through_o his_o enemy_n sometime_o without_o be_v see_v we_o believe_v but_o that_o he_o make_v himself_o invisible_a when_o he_o break_v the_o bread_n and_o give_v the_o cup_n to_o the_o disciple_n be_v clear_a contrary_n to_o the_o aforementioned_a scripture_n and_o divers_a other_o or_o that_o he_o convey_v himself_o so_o invisible_o into_o the_o bread_n and_o into_o the_o wine_n as_o you_o ignorant_o suppose_v or_o that_o he_o be_v so_o under_o it_o as_o thy_o own_o word_n be_v so_o as_o that_o he_o be_v not_o see_v visible_o by_o the_o disciple_n even_o when_o they_o eat_v the_o bread_n and_o drink_v the_o cup_n and_o after_o he_o bless_v it_o be_v utter_o false_a for_o they_o see_v he_o before_o he_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o when_o he_o take_v it_o and_o bless_v it_o and_o break_v it_o and_o when_o they_o eat_v it_o and_o after_o they_o have_v eat_v he_o be_v visible_a in_o all_o these_o moment_n of_o time_n be_v very_o evident_a both_o by_o matthew_n mark_n luke_n and_o john_n in_o their_o narration_n of_o the_o supper_n and_o so_o all_o your_o twine_a and_o turn_v and_o vain_a argument_n be_v make_v void_a 3_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o ever_o any_o of_o your_o priest_n turn_v water_n into_o wine_n or_o bread_n into_o flesh_n or_o wine_n into_o blood_n of_o one_o sort_n or_o other_o much_o less_o into_o the_o flesh_n or_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o thou_o say_v the_o external_a accident_n remain_v as_o our_o eye_n represent_v unto_o we_o after_o consecration_n but_o yet_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o material_a bread_n be_v no_o more_o as_o your_o

element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n still_o remain_v in_o sight_n but_o the_o substance_n nature_n and_o matter_n be_v no_o more_o in_o be_v i_o shall_v appeal_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o your_o conscience_n whether_o this_o be_v true_a yea_o or_o nay_o nay_o it_o be_v so_o ridiculous_a a_o thing_n that_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o have_v not_o lose_v

this_o thing_n for_o trial_n if_o you_o dare_v venture_v it_o and_o put_v it_o to_o proof_n you_o and_o we_o with_o a_o joint_a consent_n will_v choose_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o you_o and_o we_o will_v both_o eat_v and_o drink_v of_o some_o part_n of_o it_o before_o and_o then_o your_o priest_n shall_v consecrate_v it_o and_o we_o will_v hear_v and_o see_v what_o he_o say_v and_o do_v

there_o be_v a_o council_n of_o bishop_n call_v at_o sinvis●●_n where_o the_o pope_n be_v condemn_v which_o your_o church_n have_v teach_v can_v not_o err_v for_o sacrifice_v to_o idol_n at_o a_o
