muste be sure that ye do come thyther in his lyuerye And thus to prepare you is your duety The other thynge that is necessary vnto the holsome receauynge of these mysteries is a true fayth Hebre 11. without the which no man can please god and ye know what daunger it is for one with whom god is offended or angry to apeere before hym but to teache this faith vnto you that belongeth vnto my charge For vnto me it is sayd Iohn 21. Pasce oues meas feede my shepe the which thynge that I may the better do three thynges are necessaryly to be consydred both of you me that is first that ye wyll call vnto your remembraunce what maner of people you to whome I shall speake ought to be secondely what the thinges be that we must intreate vppon thyrdely from whence and from whom we must come by the knowledge of them As concernynge the fyrst it is not vnknowen vnto you that Chrysten men are called and named to be faythful which is as much as to saye people that do beleue in so muche that saynt Paule commaundynge Timothe to gyue good example of lyfe vnto all Chrysten men 1. Tim. 4. sayth F●sto forma fidelium That is be an example to the faythfull wherby we be monyshed that the chiefest thynge in a Chrysten man Que vidētur tēporacia sūt que non vidētur 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1. Cor. 4. whiche maketh hym to dyffer from all other mē is his fayth but who is he amongst you that knoweth not that fayth is onely concernynge those thynges that are not to be sene and which we knowe only by the report of other In so much that saynt Gregory sayth that fides non habet meritum vbi humana ratio prebet experimentum that is to say fayth hath no merite where mans reason giueth thexperiēce And who knoweth not that Abraham was commended of god for nothynge so much as he was for his fayth Gene. 14. Roma 4. Gal. 3. Doth not the scrypture say Credidit Abraham deo et imputatum est ei ad iustitiam that is he beleued Godde and it was counted to him for rightuousnes but howe beleued he Verely saynt Paule sayth he dyd not consider his owne body which was nowe more fytter for death then to be get chyldren he being an hūdreth yeres of age nor yet he dyd consyder the barren wombe of Sarai his wyfe who was then foure score and ten yeres of age he dyd not reason with God howe he and his wyfe beynge in theyr youth not able to beget chyldren shulde nowe in theyr age when naturall hope of chyldren was paste haue chyldren he dyd not I say reason with God of these matters as our newe brethrene do in the greate mysteries of our fayth He harde God speke and beleued but these must haue hym say sensybly to theyr reson this is a fygure of my body or els they can not vnderstande hym for theyr iustyfyinge fayth or rather as it is to be called damnable infidelitie can not vnderstande that god is able to make his body to be really present in heauen and heare to bothe at one tyme. But vnto you good Chrysten people that be the chyldren of Abraham and do beleue I trust that there is nothynge wherein ye can so please god as in beleuynge his omnipotency and truth To you I saye that the chiefe cause whiche moued our sauioure to prayse the Centurion so muche as he dyd Math. 8. was the Centurions faythe for the Centurion thought that it was as possible for Chryste to heale his seruaunt though he were absent as it was for hym selfe in his absence by commaundement of his seruauntes to haue thynges done as he wolde for the same cause dyd our sauioure prayse also the woman of Cananye sayinge woman thy fayth is great Suche then be you and so do beleue Math. 15. vnto whom nowe at this tyme I purpose by gods grace to speke of a sacrament otherwyse called in Greeke a mystery and in Englyshe it may be named secrete or hydde priuitie of our faythe and religion In the consideracion and vnderstanding of the whiche mysteryes your mynde and knowledge must be remoued and drawen away from the pryestes that ministreth for they be but as instrumentes as for example the axe is to the wryght the pen is to the wryter the knyfe is to hym that cutteth and they most be bent and stayed of Christ who dyd fyrst ordeyne them and that doth now vse the tounge and other members of the priestes to accomplyshe and worke the same In so muche that saynte Iohn speakynge of the true baptisme sayth Math. 3. that it is Chryst that baptyseth and Chryst sayth hymselfe that it is not the minister that speaketh but the spryte of the Father Sed spiritus patris qui loquitur Luke 12. that speaketh in hym Also Chrysostome and E●missen sayth that it is not the visible prieste that worketh the consecration of the blessed Sacrament but the inuisible prieste whiche is our sauyour Chryst But who seeth not then yf this be true as it is moste true that not fayth but infidelitie hathe caused our late preachers to haue asked the question howe can the prieste make Chrystes body As though there were nothynge done in the administracion of the sacrament but what that the prieste dothe Doth not this question presuppose the prieste onely to be not the instrument but the workeman Doth not this question take that that is gods worke from God and gyue vnto man But ye shall vnderstande good people that these be therfore called mysteries bycause that in them one thynge doth outwardely appere to our senses and an other is certeynely knowen to our beliefe and vnder standynge Outwardely we se the prieste outwardely we heare this sentence Take eate this is my body Augu. ad infantes c. pronounced by the priest outwardely we se the formes of breade and wyne and these are as perceptible and easy to be perceaued of the Turkes other Infydels as of vs Chrysten men that is they se and heare as much and the very same touchynge these outwarde thynges that we do But then is there the inuysible priest who bad the visible priest do this and that speaketh and worketh by him as by his instrument and the effecte and operacion of these wordes take eate this is my body which is to change those visible creatures into the substaunce as Emysen Chrysostome Chrisost de p●●dicione I●de saynte Ambrose and such lyke autours do wytnesse of Chrystes blessed body and blood where is further to be consydred that the very naturall body and blood of our sauioure Iesu Chryst to be conteyned vnder and signyfyed by those formes of bread and wyne Chryste hym selfe is a moste true wytnesse and beste to be beleued herein who also sayth that it to be the same bodye that was broken for vs and the same blood that was
