by my diuyne powre ye and in the sacrameÌ„t of my body and my blood O the wonderfull swetnesse of thyne ineffable charyte O the precyouse meruaylous holsome feaste O the moste excellent sacrament O moste to be worshypped O moste honourable O moste reuerende O moste worthy prayse O most worthy glory highly to be magnifyed to be extolled by worthye cryers to be honoured wyth all the herte with all deuocyon wyth all reuerence what more meruaylous then this sacrameÌ„t in whych brede and wyne is veryly coÌ„uerted into the body and blood of Iesu Cryste in whyche pertyte Crist is conteyned by the vertue of the word vnder the forme and lykenes of a peace of brede Take you this is my body whiche is eaten of good Cristen folke in the meane whyle ys not torne but though the sacrament be deuyded yet the bodye abydeth and coÌ„tynueth holevnder euery parte of that that is dyuyded O so wonderfull a sacrament and meruaylous so full of charyte that no man can crye the worthynes of yt better then by y e wordes of saynt Paule where he sayth to the Romaynes O the depnes of the dyuyne sapyence knowlege of god Howe incomprehensyble be his iudgementes how inuestygable his ways For who knewe the mynde of oure lorde or who was his couÌ„saylour O in dede a wonderfull sacrament of whyche Esaias veryly spake when he sayd Vnlesse you byleue you shall not vnderstande whych Cryste hym selfe affyrmynge sayd vnto the vnbeleuynge Iews of so hygh a sacrameÌ„t But there be some of you that beleue not as though he wold say and therfore vnderstand not and for that cause shall go backe and not walke with me when the Iewes sayde Howe can this man geue vs his fleshe to eate This is a harde saynge And who can heare hym And the euangelyst sheweth what Crist sayd My fleshe is very meate and my blood is very drinke who eateth my flesh and drynketh my blood taryeth in me and I in hym and so forth From that tyme many of his dyscyples went backe and walked not wyth hym Peter answerynge for all the reste what tyme Chryste demaunded of theym whether they wold go from hym to Good lorde to whome shall we go Thou haste the worde of theternal lyfe and we byleue knowe that thou art Cryste the sonne of god so forth As though he wolde say thou art able to do all wyth a worde And as saynt Paule wryteth thou be ryst vp all thyng by the word of thy powre ye by whyche word the heuens were made whereof Dauid wryteth He sayde the worde and yt was done Now who is there my well beloued brethern whych wayeth the wordes of Cryst his apostles as he ought to do wyll not in hys herte be sory and also wyth the zele of charyte abhorre the condycyon of thys wykked tyme of ours ye and myche rather the wycked infydelyte of wycked people by whych the deuyll beynge authoure in so farforthe do not byleue in thys blessed sacrament of thaulter confyrmed by Crystes owne mouth when he sayth Thys is my body and so forth My flesh is very meate my blood is very drynke and so forth but also all thanke and loue towarde our sauyoure Iesu Chryste a farre of reiected odyously shamefully irreuerently blaspheme condemne and abhorre all holy scryptures fygures reasons sences euyn spurnynge at hym wyth theyr fete wyth tonge wyth language not to be spoken clerely forgetfull in the mean while of those holy wordes of Cryste in his laste supper ê“ceding of a meruaylous zele towarde vs Take you this is my body Do you this in the remeÌ„brauÌ„ce of me And this doynge shewe you the deth of our lorde tyll he come to iudge the worlde wyth an open and vysyble body who in the meane tyme for y e loue I haue towarde you shall coÌ„tenue wyth you vnder this visyble sacrament of thaulter and so by the communyon of myne owne body in that sacrament be made incorporate wyth you Oh good oh beste oh most benygne Iesu oure redemer who can meruayle inough at thy greate pacyence shewed towarde vs whom hytherto thou haste suffered so shamefully to rayle agaynst thinsty tucion of the blessed sacrameÌ„t of thaulter vnpunysshed Is thys the remembraunce we haue of that ineffable loue of thyne towarde vs by whyche thou louydest vs euyn to the sufferauÌ„ce of the most shamefull deth of the crosse is this the kyndnesse the recompeÌ„ce we make the for thy so greate benyfytes woo maye we be woo may we be a good iuste iesu whyche hast all thy iudgemeÌ„t of thy father to iudge euery man accordynge to his deserte whyche wylte leue no good dede vnrewarded nor no euyll dede vnpunyshed to whome we shall gyue accouÌ„t of euery idell worde what shalt thou do with vs I pray y â— then for our so great offence

lette vs in the meane whyle so folysshely flater our selfes wyth the sufferaunce of god as though he wolde forgete oure synne and as a iuste iudge not correcte when he seeth tyme for our so irreuerent handelynge of y e holy sacrament How be it who knoweth not these cruell pestylences that now raygne thoroughe oute Germanye syknesse dissensyons suppressyons the mynysshement of euery estate
