as they pretend the hostie being put in the cup the body is put in the blood Sixtly the true and liuing Christ where hee is bodily present can walke alone he needes not to be lifted nor to bee borne or carried in mens hands he is not feared to fall nor that any euill befall him But the Romish Doctours in effect J must now say with griefe deceauers drawe the people to adore for their Lord and Saviour a Christ of the Priestes making in the Masse who is so weake that hee can not rise till he bee lifted hee can not walke but must bee carried and when he is mounted vp in his makers hand except his creator and maker hold him vp or if the Priest himselfe snapper and fall at a procession or in a journey then this Christ goeth to the ground and his maker both and there he lyeth though it were in a myre till hee bee lifted againe What care haue J seene taken to lift this Christ attentiuelie and to lay him downe againe softly for feare of breaking of him and if hee bee not eaten presently but must bee keeped to bee adored vpon the Altar some dayes after then euery night at euen hee is put in ward and keeped fast vnder locke and key ordinarly lest while his maker and preseruer is sleeping the myce or the ratts whom the Worlde can not persuade but the hostie is verie bread indeed should carry him away and vse some short improbation against this their transubstantiation this can not bee but a matter of laughter to those who are fred from the Romish yock but alace for pittie of the Soules that beleeues all is well I know they gull the people by telling them that Christ Iohn 20. 26. came in to his Disciples the doore beeing shut And that this could not bee but by rarifying his owne substance to such subtilitie that it might goe through the doore but poore Soules that heareth this they must not dispute nor reply but beleeue as the Church beleeues If they would reply it were greater reason that the doore should yeeld to Christ then hee to it and that it were as easie for him to come in the chamber and the doore shut before and after hee came in keeping still his bodily substance in the owne naturall constitution as it was to Peter to come through the prison and through the yron gate which was shut before and after he came Act. 12 10. out but opened when he went through And no farder can this text affoord them if any J say would replye after this manner this pretext would not saue them They please the people another way also for feare that this might bee answered by distinction of a glorified body and vnglorified for taking away whereof I say Seuenthly the true Christ his body is glorified with such a glory as doth not abolish the substantiall properties of his body but only makes the same more illustrious and conspicuous whereof himselfe gaue a proofe in his transfiguration when hee clothed himselfe with the glorie of the only begotten son of God for a while at which time his glorie made not his body to disappeare but to appeare more conspicuously than before Another proof Act. 9. 3. 26. 13. hee gaue of this at the conversion of Paul when from Heauen there shined a light from him while hee spake downe to Saul brighter than the Sunne at noone day and to put vs out of doubt in this matter the same Apostle Philip. 3. 21. sayth that Christ shall change our vile bodies and make them like to his owne glorious body Wherein he lets vs vnderstand first that our Lord still retaines the same true body which hee assumed and that his body is glorious and bewtifull Next hee showes that Christ Jesus hath such a body now in Heauen as wee shall haue in our owne degre when the resurrection comes but when the resurrection comes our bodyes flesh and bones will rise and bee glorified Therefore our Lord hath such a body in his owne degree of flesh and bones glorified from which glory now his body can not bee seuered But that Christ which is made in the Masse hath a body no ways glorious nor conspicuous but altogether ignominious and subiect to moe personall disgraces then when hee suffered at Hierusalem as that which is said already may cleare Eightly and last of all to be short the true Christ hath forwarned vs not to beleeue any such Christ after his ascension as men shall poynt out on the Earth saying of Mat. 24 23. him Loe heere loe there is Christ For there shall arise false Christs and false Prophets and shall shew great signes and wonders Math. so that if it were possible they should deceaue the very Elect Behold I haue told you before Wherefore if they shall say 24. to you behold hee is in the desert goe not foorth behold he is 25. in the secreete place goe not foorth For as the lightning commeth 26. out of the East and shineth to the West so shall also the 27. comming of the sonne of man bee And again by his Apostle Colos 3 1. 2. declares himself only to be fund in Heauen for his bodily presence discharging vs to set our affection vpon any thing on earth But the Christ in whō the Papists Priests and doctors teaches people to belieue as their God and to worship as their Sauiour on whō they cause them set their affection is corporally present in the earth and his body on the earth all the dayes of the yeare of whom my eares haue heard say times out of number loe heere loe there loe yonder our Lord and Sauiour comming through the street let vs goe and convoy him and in the Masse the Priest lifts him vp and after puts him in the peoples mouth and hee goes ouer the throat What becomes of him then ye will say heare what the true Christ sayeth Perceiue you not that whatsoeuer entereth into the Math 15. 17 mouth goeth into the belly and is cast out into the draught O how farre then are the people deceiued First they beleeue they haue among their hands the true Christ and doe worship him when they worship only an Idoll and a false Christ Next they belieue that howeuer the matter bee that their intention to serue the true Christ will saue them from the sinne and the Iudgment due to such a sinne and then they are againe deceaued for if good intentions could haue any weight with God where the worke is not warrantable then these men should goe free who murther the Prophets and seruants of Jesus thinking they do God good seruice of whō Christ speaks Ioh. 16. 2. Then the Jewes should goe free who beleeued when they were pleading against Christ dishonouring him that they were friends to the promised Messias The Galatians beleeued that they held the true Christ when they joyned justification by works
