the olde fathers neuer beleued it and yet did eate Christ in feith both before thei had the māna and more expresly through the manna And with no lesse fruite after the manna was ceased And albe it the manna was to them as the sacrament is to vs and they eate euen the same spirituall meate that we dooe yet were they neuer so madde as to beleue that the manna was chaunged into Christes owne natural bodie but vnderstode it spiritually that as the outward man did eate the material manna which comforted the bodie so did the inwarde man through feith eate the bodie of Christ beleuynge that as manna came downe from heauen and comforted their bodies so shulde their sauiour Christ which was promised them of god the father come downe from heauen and strength their soules in euerlasting life redemynge them from their synne by his death and resurrection And likewise dooe we eate Christe in feith both before we come to the sacrament and more expresly through the sacrament And with no lesse fruite after we haue receiued the sacramente and neede no more to make it his naturall body then the manna was but might muche better vnderstande it spiritually that as the outwarde man dooeth eate the natural breade whiche comforteth the bodie so dooeth the inwarde man through feith eate the bodie of Christ beleuing that as the bread is broken so was Christes bodie broken on the crosse for our synnes whiche comforteth our soules vnto life euerlastinge And as that feith did saue them without beleueing that manna was altered into his body euen so dooeth this feith saue vs although we beleue not that the substance of breadde is turned into his naturall bodie For the same feith shall saue vs whiche saued them And we are bound to beleue no more vnder peine of damnacion then they were bounde to beleue Now sir this is part of his minde CA. Thou saiest euen trewth And therfore if thou marke it well somewhat after his owne wordes thou maiest of this place plainly perceiue not onely by the presence of this worde not onely but also by the absence of this worde but also that he at the first intended to shewe vs two thinges The one of the whiche noted with this worde not onely he hath here as thou seest declared all redy But the other depending therupon and ought to be noted with this worde but also he dooth vtterly passe ouer and let it cleane goe For he renneth so wonderous faste and can not tell whither that he forgetteth the one ende of his tale while he telleth vs the other or els he doth purposely reserue and kepe it in store till he speake with vs hym selfe to shew vs that and more HERE Tushe sir ye doe but mocke him now CATH Why countreiman what woldest thou haue me do For to pitee him thou knowest wel it is to late To praise him there is in dede no cause To holde my peace in this matter were to farre ageinst conscience And what remayneth but alwaie to speake as he dooeth minister occasion Therfore where he saieth that the old fathers were neuer so madde as to beleue that the manna was changed into Christes owne naturall body for what purpose doth he tel vs that when euery man koweth it as wel as he CA. I shal tel you for what purpose he wold haue vs take the bread as the fathers tooke the manna And as they were neuer so madde as to beleue that the manna was changed in to Christes owne naturall bodie so he wold not haue vs so madde as to beleue that the substance of bread is changed into Christes naturall body nother For the same feith he saith shal saue vs which saued thē Cap. 22. CATH Thou saiest well for that is his purpose in dede And therfore as touching his principle of the same feith I haue told the enough before And as concerning this changeing he speaketh of thou and I will talke therof at large when we come to the place conuenient Therfore now to this that he doth here accompte all those which beleue that the substance of the bread by the operacion of the holy ghost in the holy consecracion is changed into the very body of Christ to be mad in so doing who be thei but al Englishmen Welshmen Irishmē Frenchmen Scottes Danes Douchmen Spaniardes Portingales Italiās with al other trew Christen nacions for doubtles al those dooe so beleue HERE Nay sir not all For all can not be said of Englishmen only nor yet of diuers other perticular nacions beside For some among them beleue otherwise CA. And pretely spoken For is it said amisse that such and such feldes are all corne because they are not eache of them without some and to much darnell in and amonge them what if there be founde such to many as Frith was among Englishmen and other trew Christen nacions beside doth that let the trewth of this that all those nacions beleue otherwise then he did that is to say that the very substance of the breade through the operacion of the holy ghoste in the holy consecracion is turned into the very blessed body of Christ al those multitudes Frith thou seest doth recken therin to be madde He dooeth not except al or any trew christen princes about whom there lacketh not men in wit grauitee and lernyng of the beste sorte that maie be had which seme not of al men to be lightly deceiued wherof in this matter specially thei are vtterly most lothe Therfore dooth the sadnes of Frithe shewe vs madnesse in all christen princes in all their prudent and wise councellours and in all their multitudes of peoples innumerable vnder them or els doth not the sadnesse of all those shewe vs the wonderfull madnesse of hym I require no answere of this but consider it well with thy selfe And therfore what is there more in all his woordes whiche thou hast here rehersed but onely his owne swasions and foolish continuall daunsing about this same woorde the same wherwith thou seest he wolde conclude confirme what so euer he babled before Neuerthelesse yet forthe he goeth shewing vs in the syxt lefe of his booke after his fantasie how the olde fathers did beleue saiyng There is no poynte in our Creede but thei beleued it as well as we dooe and those articles onely are necessarie vnto saluacion Who hath herde suche an other teacher For of this it must nedes folowe that it is not necessary vnto saluacion to beleue that Christe is equall with the father For whiche of the .xii. articles is that Those .xii. onely he saith are necessary vnto saluacion And this that Christe is equall with the father is none of the .xii.
