our saluacion aud for the probatioÌ„ therof I wil lay this sentence of the old church confyrmed of christ agaynste these blasphemouse teachers of these vnsauerye sacryfyces of Baal and Bel of theyr holy fathers of rome inuented contrarye vnto the censer word of god which is wrytten in the â–ª xii of Ihon. The word whi che I haue spoken shall iudge theÌ„ in the last daye sayth christ Now theÌ„ these enuyous Edomites whi che teache the people a new found doctryne made of theyr own bray nes as thys is to cause the people to beleue that the natural body of christ is in the sacrameÌ„t or to make it an oblacion propiciotorie or expietorie and to be worshypped this teachyng is not found in the scripture of god but in theyr own ymagynacions and priuate inter pretacion for the mayntenaunce of theyr owne bellyes S. Peter sayth that the scripture is not expounded after the appetyte of any pryuat persone but eueÌ„ as it was geuen by the spyryte of god not by manes wyll so must it be declared by the same spyryte full well knew the Apostle S. Paule when he sayd to the ThessaloniaÌ„s The mystery of iniquitie eueÌ„ now begynneth to worke and also prophesyed what shulde folowe after hys tyme saying Take ye hede to your selues and to all the flocke ouer whych the holy ghost hathe put you ouersears to fead the congregation of God whych be purchased wyth hys owne blood for I know thys well that after my departynge shall entre in greuouse wolues among you whych shal not spare thee flocke and euen of your selues shall aryse men speakynge peruerse thynges to draw disciples after them and therfore watche c. What more euident to keÌ„ can be geuen of you set forth by Paule ar ye not rauening wolues what els doo you but spoyle and robbe the people of God wheÌ„ ye teache and instruct them contrarye to the verytie of the gospel to folowe your lying sygnes and beggerly ceremonies as S. Paul calleth them to reherse theÌ„ it shal not nead but touchynge thys holy mysterye of Christes bodye and blood which ye haue so sore deformed blemyshed spotted by your straunsubstanciatyon and other abuses to the destructyon of the people fyrst institucion of christ I muste of verye sorowfulnes of harte approue you by thee scripture to bee verye theues murtherers and deceauers and where I haue already declared and approned by the worde of god and thee olde wryters whose sayingee I haue in maner but gleyned wyth ruthe the mohabite as the history maketh mencyon what that most holy blessed sacrament of the bo dye blood of our lord is it is to be beleued but as a mystery fyfygure representynge to the eyes of our faythe the death and passion of christ crucifyed for our synnes and rose agayne for our iustification as verely as that bread is broken emongeâ— vs so vetriye was christes body broken for our synnes as verely as we receaue that sacramentall bread into our bellye thorow eating it so verely do we receaue y â— frute of his death meretes into our soules by beleuyng in him so that the body of christ in thys sacrament is not corporal but spiritual and the blood of chri ste is not ther corporal but spiritual So that nothynge is to be ta ken in this holy mystery but spiri tually Here is the bodye of christ but not corporally here is y â— blood of christ but not corporally These be the â–ª woordes of Barthram a learned Priest wrytten Lvii. yea res here to fore so nowe thys is proued sufficient to stablysshe the faythe of all men I truste in thys poynt And as to the worshipping therof or to be a sacrifice as they saye You shall haue the scriptures to confute that doctryne sufficientlye fyrste the supper of thee Lorde ought to be done after thee ordinaunces of christ as appereth the fyrst Epystle to the Corinthi the. xi chap. And vpon those wordes to it is a memorial of y â— death of Christe whych brought saluaci on and not a sacrifyce but a remeÌ„ braunce of the sacrifyce that was once offered vp vpoÌ„ the crosse for therin is a promyse made as appe reth in the. C. and. it Psal. Christ shalbe our bishop for euermore or dayned of the father and thys pro mes is performed for christ hathe entered once into the holye place by an oblacion makynge perfecte for euermore so that we nead not to haue hym offered vp for vs agayne the whyche dyeth nomore We know that the oblacioÌ„ whych Moyses made was for synnes as appereth in the leuitical law wheÌ„ the oblation dyd sanctifye thee blood dyd wasshe TheÌ„ yf this one sacrifice in the whych christe dyd offere vp hym selfe dyd satisfy for the synnes of the whole world accordinge to the seyenge of Esaye He dyd bear our synnes he was torne for oure wyckednesse As S. Ihon sayth he is our satisfaction and so forth so that all oblations whych ar besydes thys is but vay ne as to rear an new oblatioÌ„ and to set lytle by y â— fyrst to make god a lyar and to denye Christ whych bought vs after the wordes of S. Peter For yf the synnes be released and forgeueÌ„ in the sacrifyce of the masse it foloweth that that on ly sacrifyce of the crosse dyd not sa tisfye for all synnes is not that to deny the lorde whych dyd rede me vs not wyth corruptible thin ges as with gold and syluer but wyth hys owne precyouse blood so that thys holy sacrifice whych is Iesus christe the verye lambe and most holy EnoceÌ„t wythout spotte The whych alone taketh away the synnes of the world hath offered for vs to God the father hym selfe hath geuen his lyfe and shed hys blood for our redemption â–ª Makynge an ende and consumation of all outward and vysyble sacryfyces and S. Paul to the Hebreus wryteth it is coÌ„uenable to haue a byshop holy innocente seperate frome synners hygher then the skyes and in the. ix chap ter of y â— same Epystle is sayd thus christ y â— bishop of goodnes came in presence by a greater and a perfyter tabernacle not made wyth haÌ„ des not by the blood of gotes or of calues but by hys owne precyouse bloode is ones entered into the sanctuarye hath founde eter nall redemption here is playne euydent that for our saluation redemption we haue no neade of any other sacrifyce or dayly offeringe for them selues and for vs Except we wyll haue them our re demers and to renounce the obia cioÌ„ of Iesu christ and yet further it is sayd in the same chapter Ie sus is not entered into the sanctu arye made with handes but chefe ly in heaueÌ„ to thende that now he may appere for vs before the face of hys father not by â—auâ—e that he offered not
