A17659	A faythfull and moost godlye treatyse concernyng the most sacred Sacrament of the blessed body and bloude of our sauioure Chryst, co[m]piled by Iohn Caluyne, a man of no lesse lernyng and lytterature then godly studye, and example of liuyng. And translated into Latin by Lacius a man of lyke excellencie. And nowe last of all, translated into Englyshe by a faythfull brother, no lesse desirous to profyt the weake brotheres then to exercise the talent of the Lorde to his honoure and glorye. In declaration whereof, he hath set before this lytle booke an epistle to the reader much more effectuous then in the fyrst edicion. Whereunto the order that the churche and congregation of Christ in Denmarke doth vse at the receyuying of baptisme, the Supper of ye Lorde, and wedlocke: is added.

and yet wyll they at theyr pleasure place hym in the chalyce he was neuer visible to the mortall eye and yet wyll they make him appere at euerye knaues requeste that wyll do as other men do I meane paye theyr ordinarye shote and so doyinge he shall not onelye se him but also eate him vp euerye morsell I woulde the men woulde delygentlye peruse the wordes of saynt Augustine in theyr legēde on Corpus Christi daye whiche are these taken out of the. xxvi treatyse vpon Iohan. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud tarieth in me and I in hym To eate that meat therefore and to drinke that drinke is to tarye in Christe and to haue Christe tariynge in vs. And by this he that taryeth not in Chryste and in whom Chryst tarieth not no doubt he doth not spiritually eate his fleshe nor drynke hys bloude al thoughe he do carnallye and visibly crushe with his teeth the sacrament of y ● body and bloude of Chryste but he dothe rather eate and drynke to his damnacion the sacrament of so noble a thyng Here is your transsubstanciacion vtterlye denyed For saynt Augustine putteth a plaine difference betwene the sacrament and the thinge it selfe Agayne the same Angustine in the same place addeth these wordes The sacrament of thys thinge that is of the vnitie of the body and bloude of Christe is in some places prepared euerie day in some other places but certayne dayes as on the sundaye and is taken of the table of the Lorde to some persons to life to some other to destruction but the thynge it selfe in to all persones to lyfe and to destruction to no man that may be pertaker therof What nedeth it to reherse anye mo wytnesses seynge these are sufflicyent eyther to proue saynte Augustine an heretyke other else to declare thys transsubstanciacion to be bothe foolyshe and abominable Both for that it trusse the together the diuinytie and inlargethe the humanytye beyonde all measure thrutchyng vp into a corner y earte whiche no place can conteyne and settynge at libertie to be in all places that whyche muste nedes be in one place onely Yf euery man wyl folowe his conscience in this matter I doubte not but they shal sone be persuaded how farre wyde thys transsubstanciacion is frome the trueth But nowe take they holde of the wordes of the Lorde at the fyrst institucion of this mooste sacred Sacrament whiche are these Thys is my bodye whiche shall be delyuered for you This is my bloude which shall be shed for you many into remission of synnes What natural essencial and real presēce they buylde vpon these wordes is abundantlye declared in the Byshoppe of Wynchester and docter Smythes bokes I shall therefore mooste humblye desyre the readare vtterlye to

deserued for vs. For euen as we se that we beyng many are partakers of one loofe of breade by eatynge therof and of one cuppe of wyne by drynkyng thereof so are we certified by that participation that we beyng manye beleuynge in Chryst are by that belefe made partakers of Chryste and wyth Chryste in al that is his none otherwyse then all the membres of one bodye be partakers of all ioyes and pleasures that chaunce to the heade For as the lofe wherof we eate is made of manye graynes and the Cuppe of wyne wherof we drynke is made of manye grapes and yet is but one Cuppe of wyne and the lofe but one lofe euen so are we that beleue in Christe but one bodye wyth hym and he oure heade notwythstandyng we be manye in numbre and of diuerse nacions estates and condicions For as in the body be diuers mēbers seruynge to diuers vses so are there in the congregacion of Christe whyche Paule calleth the bodye of Christe diuers estates Some Apostles some preachers and some teachers And as in the bodye is no membre wher vnto is not appoynted hys peculiare and necessarye office So in the congregacion of Christ is there none estate or condicion but it is profitable yea necessarye to the other Thys is a greate misterye sayeth Paule the misterye I saye of Christe and hys congregacion for it is hys bodye of hys fleshe and of hys bones Not that the congregacion or churche is that naturall bodye that dyed on the crosse nor we the members of the same churche the fleshe and bones of the same But for that it was that congregacion it was we the membres of thys churche that caused Christe to take oure nature vpon hym that therein he myghte satisfye for oure synnes makynge vs partakers wyth hym in thys satisfaction and so are we hys bodye and membres that is to saye hys bodye and membres were and are the pryce wherewyth we were redeamed out of the captiuitie and thrawledome that we were in ▪ Thys misterye is greate and farre aboue the beastelye mans capacitie But yf we wyll be geuen to the spirite the spirite shall minister vnto vs abundauntly the vnderstandinge therof For it is a comon phrace or maner of speakynge amongeste vs when anye hath bestowed his money vpon any kynde of marchaundyse we saye Lo here is my xx.li or here are his hundreth markes showynge forth the wares that were bought wyth my xx.li or his hūdreth markes so that here the thynge boughte bearethe the name of the price In lyke maner doth Paule call the cōgregacion redeamed by Chistes bodye his verie bodie his fleshe and his bones because it is the machaūdice that was bought with his bodie his fleshe and his bones The mooste sacred sacramentes also of the bodye and bloud of Christ are called his body and bloude because they declare vnto vs what the bodie and bloude of Christ be vnto vs none other wyse then I call thys boke the suppet of the Lorde because it declareth the supper of the lorde so that here thou mayste se gentle readar wherin thou hast bene so farte and so longe deceyued Forsoeth in that thou haste not knowne nor consydered the causes why these moste holy sacramentes beare the names of that they represēt shew or declare vnto vs ▪ But haste grosselye persuaded thy selfe with the carnall and fleshly Iewes y ● Christe spake carnallye myndynge to tourne the substaunc● of the breade and wyne into the substance o● his body and bloude when he sayed vnto hi● disciples thys is my bodye But doubtless● good christian brother oure mooste cruel ene●mye hath in thys poynt vttered euen the grea●test parte of his maliciouse practyse He hat● not faylled alwayes to beate into oure heades the omnipotencie of God who coulde by his worde make al thynges of nought his veritie whyche wyll not suffer hym to leaue oughte vndone that he sayeth is or shall be done and then his wordes at his laste supper Thys is my hody c.
