born of the Virgin bread into his body wine into his blood and that this consecrated Host being offered to God by the Priest is a Propitiatory Sacrifice for the Quick and the Dead and that men are thereby reconciled to God and that it must be worshipped and carried about in Processions and that such as denyed the same should be Anathema accursed And not only this Council but also the Lateran Council Pope Nicholas Pope Leo Pope Innocent Pope Pius the fourth Pope Victor Pope Honorius c. taught the same for denying of this Doctrine many have been burned to Ashes as Ecclesiastical Writers testifie Summa Concil et Pontif. Oruphrius Pope Innocent the third invented Pixes and Boxes as 't is said to put the sacramental Bread in Again such Reverence came to be given to consecrated Bread without when the bread of life was turned from yea and the true Worship of God in Spirit and in Truth that a Council put out a Canon forbidding Women to receive the Eucharist that is the consecrated Host with bare Hands Concil Antisid Summa Concil et Pontif. Roman-Catholicks tell of a Miracle of an Ass that left his Provender to worship the consecrated Host on such Conceit as this saith Mede the Doctrine of Transubstantiation is grounded Of Aderation given to the Consecrated Host When it came to be believed that bread after consecration was the very Christ the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the World then Popes and Councils ordained that at certain times it should be lifted up above the Priests Head and that at the heaving of it up a Bell should be rung and that all that hear it s found should not only do low Obeysance but fall down on their Knees and with Hands lifted up towards Heaven worship it and say Pater Noster or some other Prayer they ordained also that it should be born to the Sick with great Reverence and that with lighted Caudles though at noon day for the same they instituted a solemn Feast called Corpus Christi Day on which the consecrated Host is born about lifted up and worshipped Further 'T was enjoyned That if a Priest were called in the Night season to housel the Sick and there spent all his Hosts as he came Homeward he was to put out the Candle left the people should adore the empty Tabernacle such as read the Canons of Pope Honorius Gregory the ninth Pope Innocent Pope Clement the fifth their Lives and Councils in their dayes they may see these things In France saith Heylin in his Survey of the Estate of France a couple of Priests carries the Host under a Canopy before it goeth a Bell continually tinkling all in Houses perceiving their God to go by make some shew of Reverence all in the Streets with bended Knees and elevated Hands do it Honour to the Protestants it is as a Watch-Peal to be gone left for their ●●reverence they be knocked down in this saith he is a smatch of Turcism who when they hear the Cryers bawling in their Streets they fall prostrate on the Ground where-ever they are and kiss it thrice so perform their Devotions to Mahomet their carrying it about the Streets hath a touch of Judaism from the Levites carrying about the Ark on their Shoulders their Adoration of it is especially from Gentilism for never any people but Heathen saith he afforded divine Honours to things inanimate Thus when Heavenly Salt Wisdom from above was lost within multitudes of Inventious swarmed into Apostatized Christendom Lanctantius in his first Book of Institutions taxed the Gentiles of Ridiculousness who worshipped Jupiter as a God Cam cundem tamen Saturno et Rhea gentium confiterentur seeing they so perfectly knew his Original much more are they to be blamed who impose upon the peole the Adoration of a Dead God a principis non ita fuit it was not so from the the beginning Heylins Survey c. Christ said unto his Disciples Take eat this is my Body this denotes signifies be tokens my Body what bread and wine is to the body of man that is Christ the Bread of Life his Flesh his Blood to the Soul the Doctrine of Bread-worship Invocation of Saints Worshipping of Images and many other pestilent Errors have steamed into the Church from the mis-understanding and mis-interpretation of Scriptures saith Rainold in his Orations Paul who had the Mind of Christ a feeling sense of Christs Institution said thrice in a Breath as I may say that the Bread after it was blessed or Thanks were given which is called Consecration remained Bread he called it so and he called it what it was his words imply not his belief of Transubstantiation but expresly the contrary 1 Cor. 11.26 27 28. Again Mat. 26. Christ took the Cup and gave Thanks and bad them drink saying This is my Blood that is signifies betokens or holds out my Blood not his Blood after Consecration but a Shadow of his Blood his own words immediately following evidently demonstrates this I will not drink henceforth of the Fruit of the Vine he calls what was in the Cup the Fruit of the Vine now his Blood was not the Fruit of the Vine but Wine is the Fruit of the Vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom saith he now whoever say that Bread and Wine after Consecration is Christ's Flesh and Blood consider this Did Christ cat his own Body Did he drink his own Blood you say consecrated Bread and Wine is Christ's Flesh and Blood and Christ eat and drank thereof what Consquences would follow this Doctrine Christ his Flesh his Blood is hid from apostatized Ages and Generations his Word became Flesh living Food Food of living Souls Christ is the living Bread which came down from Heaven his Flesh is the Bread that he gives who came from Heaven given for the Life of the World but perishing Bread and Wine though consecrated a thousand times came not from Heaven this said he who also said The Flesh profi●●eth nothing it is the Spirit that quickeneth and the words that I speak unto you they are Spirit and they are Life John 6. And whereas Paul said to the Corinthians As often as ye eat this Bread and Drink this Cup ye do shew the Lords Death till he come 1 Cor. 11.26 Now if the consecrated Host were Christ then he were come then how is it done till he come and were it proper to say till he come when he is already come Christ was obedient to Death even the Death of the Cross the Corinthians were in the Cross in the daily dying having Tastes of the eternal Inheritance and in the dying he comes with perfect Conquest abolishing Death and bringing Life and Immortality to Light And Paul said This do ye as often as ye drink it in remembrance of me this plainly shews that consecrated Bread and Wine is not his Body where his Body is there is no need of
is a great Mystery but I speak concerning Christ and the Church Ephes 5.32 their Translations render it This is a great Sacrament But true it is the English Translation is true herein and the Papists Translation is faulty and their number of seven Sacraments they have from Peter Lombard they are not mentioned in any Scripture but first devised by Peter Lombard Bellarmine's Master first decreed by Eugenius the fourth first confirmed in the Provincial Council of Senes after in the Council of Trent Leigh Chamier de luc lib. 4. cap. 1. And our English Translations have the word Sacrament in the Contents of the tenth Chapter of the first to the Corinthians but the Division of the Scripture into Chapter and Verse is not from the Authors thereof but of late time as also the inserting in of the Contents many Almanacks inform us of the Authors hereof Now as for the word Eucharist Luke and Paul speaking of the Institution mention how Jesus Christ took Bread and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Eucharistesas that is giving Thanks Now from the Greek word Eucharistesas the Sacrament so called came also to be called Eucharist and after Christ had taken the Cup and given thanks and given it unto his Disciples after this Consecration as 't is called Christ called it the Fruit of the Vine now if the Wine had been really transmuted changed into the Blood of Christ then it had not been the Fruit of the Vine but saith he I will not drink henceforth of the Fruit of the Vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom Matth. 26. Peter preaching Christ to Cornelius said That they did Eat and Drink with Christ after he rose from the Dead Acts 10. This Testimony I have given concerning Bread and Wine which Tertullian Origen Ambrose Augustine Jerom Chrysostom Basil and many others call Figures Types Shadows c. though their Writings be very uncertain and my Testimony is That Christ is the End of all Figures Types and Shadows as before true Union Communion and Soul-feeding is in the Light of the living God in Christ whose Life is the Light of Men the Soul's Food Now in citing the Testimonies of men who were since the primitive Times I do it not to build mens Faith or my own on the Authorities of Men but for the Conviction of such who plead that ancient Writers are Vnanimous yea and Harmonious in defending such and such things and who turn from divine Grace manifested such know not the Mouth nor the Stomach which feeds upon Heavenly Food Bread of Life the Word that became Flesh such discern not the Lord's Body but cleaving to that which is earthly are carnallized thereby made earthly-minded labouring for the Meat that perisheth and drink not the Cup of Blessing but become drunk with the Cup of Fornication from the Presence of the Lamb. Now to what hath been spoken I further add That the Jews Passover with its Appurtenances was ended and fulfilled by Jesus Christ Christ wa circumcised he taught in the Temple he said to the cleansed Leper Shew thy self to the Priest and offer a Gift according to the Law thus Christ the Substance the End of the Law the End of the Shadows owned them in their season before he was offered up or the Hand-writing nailed to the Cross and as Christ owned other Shadows in their season before he was offered up so he owned the Passover in which the Jews had their Bread and Wine blessed and consecrated it proving the same to be a Shadow so by Christ fulfilled and ended 1. The Jews in eating the Pascal Lamb took a Cup of Wine blessed and consecrated it so it passed round the Table this was called Bircath-hajajin the Blessing of the Cup in this manner Christ began his Supper Luke 22.17 18. 2. The Jews in eating their Pascal Lamb took Break blessed and consecrated it and after consecration all were to eat thereof this consecration of the Bread they called Bircath halechem the Blessing of Bread thus Christ took Bread blessed it and gave it to his Disciples 3. The Jews at the end of their Passover took a Cup of Wine and blessed it and called it Bircath hamazon so after the Supper Christ took the Cup Luke 22.20 this saith Godwyn in his Iewish Antiquities Thus Christ the End of the Iewish Shadows the Life and Substance they pointed at owned the Shadows before he was offered up but being returned in Spirit the End of the Iewish Passover Bread and Wine was manifested and the Apostle preached Christ to be their Passover the Bread of Life Cup of Blessings the End of Iewish Figures THE END
Professors of Christianity as hereafter may be seen This is my Body that is this betokens denotes signifies or shadows out my Body the word is is often so taken as by several Scriptural Instances it may appear Joseph said unto Pharaoh The seven good Kine are seven years and the seven good Ears of Corn are seven years that is signifieth or betokeneth seven years Gen. 41.25 26. The seven Stars are the Angels of the seven Churches Rev. 1.20 that is denotes betokens or signifies them And the seven Heads are seven Mountains on which the Woman sitteth and the ten Horns are ten Kings that is signifies betokens or denotes these things Rev. 17.1 12. And Zech. 5.3 The flying Rell is the Curse that is signifies or betokens the Curse The Shadows of the Old Testament are said to expiate because they were Types of Expiation by Christ So 1 Cor. 10. That Rock was Christ that is signified betokened or held out Christ a Figure or Type of him As in the Flower saith Ludolphus the Fruit is foreshown so by the Shadows of the Law Christ to come was signified But the word is is never put for changed into Poole So this is my Body that is betokens or signifie my Body the outward Bread was a Figure or Shadow of Christ who is that to the Soul which outward Bread is to the Body thorow outward Bread the Body grows is strengthned comforted refreshed satisfied this Christ said should be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God in the Church how thorow his spiritual Return who is the Heavenly Bread Bread of God living Bread life-giving Bread in by and thorow which the Churches grew were strengthned comforted refreshed satisfied Moreover Christ took the Cup and gave it to them saying Drink ye all of it for this is my Blood signifies and denotes my Blood Wine quenches the Thirst increases Strength banishes Sorrow causeth Mirth gladdens the Heart adds Courage Christ said it was to be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God in the Church the primitive Churches washed in the Blood of the Lamb were Witnesses hereof thorow Draughts of the Cup of Blessing in pourings of the Quickening Spirit they made Melody in their Hearts to the Lord this Cup of Blessing made Paul and Silas sing Praises unto God though in an inner Prison and their Feet fast in the Stocks Acts 16. Further Paul put the Corinthians who were jangling and in Disorder in mind of Christ's Institution saying I received of the Lord that which I delivered unto you he informs them how he took Bread and the Cup and bad them eat and drink in remembrance of him for as often as ye eat this Bread and drink this Cup ye de shew the Lord's Death till he come 1 Cor. 11.23 c. Christ though he departed as touching his outward Manifestation yet he comforted them with Promises of returning so though he departed in the Flesh yet he returned in Spirit I will pray the Father and he shall give you the Comforter that he may abide with you forever Again I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you Again The Comforter which is the Holy Ghost he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your Remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you John 14.16 18 26. Again Christ said unto his Disciples It is expedient for you that I go away if I go not away the Comforter will not come but if I depart I will send him unto you and he will guide you into all Truth and shew you things to come John 16.7 13. So their eating the outward Bread and drinking the Cup was in Remembrance of him till he came and when he was returned in Spirit and revealed in them their Comforter their faithful Remembrancer their Guide into all Truth then they had that in them which the Bread and Wine represented Paul writing to the Corinthians took them from the Outward to the Inward saying Christ is in you except you be Reprobates 2 Cor. 13.5 And We have this Treasure in Earthen Vessels 2 Cor. 4.7 And The Mystery hid from Ages and Generations was Christ in them the Hope of Glory Col. 1.27 Thus Christ being in them what need was there of Bread and Wine to keep them in Remembrance of him till he came Now John a Witness of his spiritual Appearance bare record saying We know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an Vnderstanding to know him that is true and we are in him that is true even in his Son Jesus Christ 1 John 5.20 Paul travelled in birth for the Galatians until Christ was formed in them Gal. 4.19 in the Apostles dayes and while the Church kept the Faith and primitive Order the Life of Jesus was manifest in their mortal Bodies the Heavenly Birth was brought forth in them Christ the Bread of God Bread of Life Living Bread which who eat of live forever John 6. the redeemed Churches washed in the Blood of the Lamb witnessed this so had the thing in them signified by outward Bread and Wine Further Paul writing to the Corinthians sanctified by Faith in Christ Jesus called to be Saints said I speak as to wise men judge ye what I say the Cup of Blessing which we bless is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ the Bread which we break is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ we are all Partakers of that one Bread 1 Cor. 10.15 This Cup and this Bread know none but who follow Christ in the Regeneration the outward mind feeds on Husks drinks the Cup of Abomination but in the Cross a renewing is known a Hungring after the Bread of Life is known the immortal Seed is known in which the Families of the Earth are blessed he spoke of a Cup of a Bread which only the Wise in the Wisdom of God had knowledge of Now the primitive Christians living Stones being come to the the End of Shadows testified against the Shadows and did not stick in them not jangle about them the Kingdom of God stands not in Meat and Drink but in Righteousness Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit Rom. 14.17 not in Bread and Wine but in the second Adam the quickening Spirit the End of Shadows Paul wrote to the Collossians saying Let no man ●udge you in Meat or in Drink c. which are a Shadow of things to come but the Body is of Christ Col. 2.16 17. Bread and Wine are Shadows as well as the outward Passover and Christ is that in his People which the Shadows pointed at To him that overcomes saith Christ will I give to eat of the hidden Maenna Rev. 2.17 He promises a Food of a more spiritual nature then outward Bread Wine a Food hidden from the wise and prudent yea and from that Mind that sticks in the Shadows Further said the true and faithful Witness Rev. 3.20 Behold I stand at the Door and knock if any man hear my Voice and open the Door
