the Passeouer and yet was but a signe and remembraunce of their Passeouer so the bread was called his bodie and yet it was but a signe and remembraunce of his bodie And that this is the right exposition may appéere by the wordes of Christ where hee sayth Doe this in remembrance of mee Luke 22.19 Tertullian likewise doth so expound them for hee saith Christ said Hoc est corpus meum id est figura corporis me● This is my body that is a figure of my bodie Augustine likewise saith Christi miranda patientia adhibuit Iudam ad conuinium in quo corporis sanguinis sui figuram discipulis tradidit● The admirable patience of Christ admitted Iudas to the banquet wherein he deliuered to his Disciples a figure of his body bloud And againe hee saith Non dubitauit Dominus dicere hoc est corpus meum eum daret fignum corporis sui The Lord doubted not to say this is my bodie when he gaue but the signe of his bodie And this exposition must néedes bée true for Saint Paule saith plainely and expressely 1. Cor. 11.26.28 That the Communicant doth eate breade Ergo it remaineth bread after the wordes of consecration For if it were transubstantiance into the body of Christ then were there no bread to eate but the bodie of Christ is the thing that should bée eaten But none doo eate the verie bodie of Christ for if euerie Communicant did eate the verie bodie of Christ naturally carnally and really as they grossely suppose Christ should haue a number of bodies which inpalpably absurd and monstrous and beside then euerie Communicant should bée saued yet euen Iudas himselfe which is knowne to bée the ch●●● of p●rdition for Christ saith He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud hath eternall life Iohn 6.54 Indéede the elect and godly do eat Christ and drinke Christ but how not carnally but spiritually and by a true faith apprehending Christ and applying Christ with all his benefites as firmly vnto their soules as the bread and wine is applyed to their bodies B●●●des if Christ gaue his body to bée eaten really by his Disciples at the time of the Institution of this Sacrament what was it that did hang on the crosse on the morrow Moreouer Saint Peter saith Act. 3.21 that as touching the bodie of Christ the Heauens must conteine him vnto the ende of the world If his bodie bée in heauen and that hée hath a true bodie as all men know he hath how can it be that hée should be both in heauen and in earth as touching his bodie at one time For though hée haue a glorified bodie yet hée reteineth the nature and propertie of a true bodie still which can bée but in one place at once And so saith Augustine saying Corpus Domini in quo resurrexit vno tantum loce esse potest The bodie of the Lorde wherein hee rose againe can bee but in one place onely But the Papists to helpe themselues are driuen to this to say that there is a miracle in the Sacrament and that Christ is there miraculouslie Whereto I answere that if the breade bée turned into the verie bodie of Christ by a miracle then should it appeare visibly so for the nature of euerie miracle is to be visible to the outward eie and senses as when Christ turned water into wine it was visibly wine When Moses rod was turned into a Serpent it was visibly a Serpent And so if the breade bée turned into the verie bodie of Christ it is visibly his bodie if you will hold a miracle to be wrought therein But Augustine answereth there is no miracle in the Sacrament saying thus Honorem tanquam Religiosa poscunt habere stuporem tanquam mira non poscunt The Sacraments may haue honour as thinges religious but they are not to be admired at as miracles Theodoret also is most expressed against Transubstantiation for thus he saith Neque enim signa ●istica post sanctificationem recedunt à natura sua manent enim in priore substantia figura forma videri tangi possunt sicut prius That is The mysticall signes after consecration doe not depart from their nature for they abide stil in their former substance figure and forme and may be both seene and felt as before Gelasius a Pope himselfe doth say most plainely that there is no transubstantiation in the Sacrament his words be these Non desinit substantia vel natura panis viui certe Imago similitude corporis sanguinis Christiin actione miseriorum corporis Christi celebratur The substance or nature of bread and wine doth not cease and verily there is the image and similitude of the bodie and blood of Christ celebrated in the action of the misteries of the bodie of Christ. And therefore I conclude that the Church of Rome which now is is not the same which it was in former times but it is become degenerate and reuolted from that former puri●●● which once was in it And conseq●●ntly it is expressely manifest that that Church both may and doth erre The Church of Rome doth further holde that their Pope hath authoritie to depose kinges and Princes But by what Title It is cleare that in his either so dooing or attempting to doo hée is both a notable Traitour vnto God whose authoritie hée doth claime and arrogate● and vnto Princes to whome hée should bée subiect For the raising and pulling downe of Princes God hath reserued to himselfe alone and in his power For it is hee not the Pope that deposeth the mightie from their seates and exalteth them that are of lowe degree Luke 1. It is hee not the Pope that putteth downe Kings and giueth Kingdomes to whomsoeuer hee will And it is hee that testifieth of himselfe saying Per me Reges regnant principes dominantur By mee Kinges raigne and Princes beare dominion Dan. 2.20 cap. 4.14 22. Séeing therefore It is God that hath this high authoritie proper to himselfe which way can the Pope claime it without iniurie and treason vnto God Will hée claime it by reason of his keyes and in his Apostolicall right That hée cannot doo For hée must remember that the keies giuen were the keies of the kingdome of heauen Math. 16.19 And therefore by authoritie of the keies h●● cannot meddle with terrestriall kingdomes to open an entrance for any into them or to shut out or exclude any that bée in them And beside Saint Paul the Apostle doth say expressely both of himselfe and of the rest of the Apostles that how great authoritie soeuer they haue for the ouerthrowing of ●●●ang holds that is of rebellious thoughts and proude cence●●●● and stiffenecked opinions seated in mens harts against God as himselfe expoundeth in the same place that all their power and meanes to conuert men is onely by the sword of the spirit which is the word of God and by the power of
