hee calleth the signe of the couenaunt by the name of the couenaunt it selfe The Testament or couenaunt was I wyll be thy God and the God of thy seede after thee And vnto this was circumcision added as a signe or seale of the couenaunt beyng called by the name of the very thing it selfe that it did signifie and represent Againe the Paschall Lambe was called Transitus domini that is to say the Passouer of the Lorde Yet the lambe which was but a bruite beast appointed for the belly was not the Passouer of the Lorde but only a signe or seale of it For the Passouer or passe by of the Lorde was when he went by the houses of the Israelites and slue all the first borne of Egypt not one of all the Israelites that beleued his seruaunt Moyses did as he cōmaunded them being either harmed or hurt Of this exceeding great benefite of their deliueraunce out of Egypt was the Paschall Lambe a memoriall or signe and that it might the better print in their mindes what God hath done for them it was called by the name of the thyng that it dyd signifie or represent For God him selfe doth attribute vnto it his owne name saying by his prophete Nathan vnto Dauid Shalt thou builde me a house for to dwell in who since I brought the Israelites out of Egypt neuer dwelled in house but in tentes Tabernacles It is most euidently plaine that he speaketh there of the arke of the Testament for as he doth not dwell in Temples or houses that be made with handes so dyd he not dwell in Tentes or Pauilions For why the heauens are his seate and the earth his foot stoole Who shall builde him a house Againe it is called the power and glorie of God as when the Psalmiste saieth Suamque potentian captiuitati suum decus hostili exposuit manui That is to saie And he hath deliuered vp his power into captiuitie and his worship or glory into the hands of his enimies The sacrifices also that were offered for sinnes were called synnes And therefore it is written And the priestes shal eate the synnes of my people For this cause was our Sauiour Christe hymselfe who is the true and onely sacrifice for synne prefigurated before and signified by all the sacrifices of the olde lawe called sinne as when sainct Paule saieth him that knewe no sinne God did make synne for vs that through hym we should be made the righteousnes of God in hym By these and many other lyke textes whiche I néede not nowe to rehearse any man may easely perceaue that it is the common phrase of the holy scriptures to call the sacramentes by the names of the thinges whereof they be Sacramentes that so thei may the more liuely with greater efficacie print in the mindes of men the thinges that they doe signifie And also for to certifie vs that if we receaue them worthely we shall most effectuously be made partakers of the thinges that they be Sacramentes of This maner of speakyng then as being well knowen of the Apostles for why they were woont and accustomed to it from their youth our sauiour Christe dyd vse at his last Supper when he did institute and ordeyne the Sacrament of his body and blood Therefore thei that say that our sauiour christ shoulde be an vnwise Testament maker if he shoulde haue vsed then tropes and figures or such obscure and darke maner of speaking will not perceaue that his Testament was made long before that with plaine and manifest wordes and that here he did but institute and ordayne the sacrament of it as a most infallible sure seale of all his heauenly promises and of the vncorruptible inheritaunce that he hath purchased and bequeathed vnto vs wherein he did vse the same phrase and maner of speaking that the holy ghost had vsed before in the institution of all sacramentes which was then so cōmon that it was impossible that the apostles shoulde be ignoraunt in it And though they had been ignoraunt yet Christ our Sauiour shoulde haue deliuered them from all doubt when speakyng of the Cup he did adde immediatly these wordes I saie vnto you I wil not drinke hencefoorth of this fruict of the vine trée vntill that daie when I shall drinke it newe with you in my fathers kingdome declaring therby that the same that was in the Cup which before for the causes aboue rehearsed he had called his blood was wine euen the fruicte of the vine tree I reporte mee vnto you whether the blood of Christe I meane his true and naturall blood be the fruict of the vine tree or not Therefore Sainct Ciprian saieth Quomodo autem de creatura vitis nouum vinum cum Christo in regno patris bibemus si in sacrificio dei patris Christi vinum non offerimus That is to saie how shall wee drinke newe wine of the creature of the Uine with Christ in the kingdome of the father if in the sacrifice of the father and of Christe we doe offer no wine As then the same that was in the cup through our sauiour Christe had said of it This is my blood was still by his owne confession the frute of the vine tree euen so the same whereof he had saide This is my body was bread still For as Theodoretus saieth He that had called his bodie wheate and bread and him selfe a Uine did afterwardes honour the bread and wine with the names of his body and blood not chaungyng the nature but addyng grace vnto the nature For these causes the blessed apostle Paul did not sticke to call it bread not once nor twise but fiue times in his Epistle to the Corinthians As for the example of Moyses rodde beyng turned into a serpent or of the water beyng chaunged into wine and suche other like which they be wont to alledge for to blinde the simple and ignoraunt people withall howe muche it serueth or maketh for them it hath been already sufficiently declared a litle before Now then sith that it hath been already proued that the apostles coulde not doubt of our Sauiour Christes wordes whiche he spake at his last Supper when he did institute his Sacrament bicause that they were accustomed euen frō their tender youth to suche phrases and maner of speakynges I will also shewe that the auncient fathers did vnderstande and expounde these wordes as we doe both vnderstande and expounde them Firste these are Tertullians wordes The lorde did not reproue bread wherewith he doth represent his body Ye shall vnderstande that the Heretique Martion againste whom this father wrote did reproue all the creatures of God as naught Whiche heresie Tertullian did confute stoutly by many strong argumentes and reasons and among all other he doeth gather an argument of the institution of the Lordes supper as if he should haue said If the creatures were naught Christe woulde not
