Wine remains after c. But literally understood this Text is express that the Substance of Bread c. does not remain at all after Consecration For the Eucharist is Christ's Body and Blood which if substantially Bread and Wine it cannot really be A change less than that of the substance of the Elements is insufficient to render them really and truly what the Text says they are after Consecration V. Our Lord's Presence in the Eucharist is meerly gracious and influential and if more only to the Faithful If He learn'd from his Church what he Writes then this Tenet is Her 's For does not this Answerer assert our Lord's Eucharistical Presence not to be substantial therefore unless entirely absent our Lord must be present in the Eucharist by Grace and Influence only What is there besides Substance and Efficacy belonging to our Saviour's Body and Blood No Colour of Scripture is produced for this Zuinglian Proposition VI. Adoration of the Eucharist i. e. of our Saviour under the Species of Bread and Wine is Idolatry This blasphemous Tenet is taught by the Answerer's Church for did not the Majority of it's pretended Bishops vote for the Test Do not all of them take it Is not that Test a Canon of their General Council The Parliament But this Test declares our Adoration of the Eucharist which is the Adoration of nothing but Jesus Christ to be Idolatry Not one jot of Scripture does this Author produce in defence of this their Test and Doctrine VII All Christians whenever they Communicate are obliged to receive in both Kinds Nor for this point can a Scripture Command be discovered in the Answer tho the Thirtieth Article affirms that both parts of the Lord's Sacrament by Christ's Ordinance and Commandment ought to be ministred to all Christian Men alike VIII Chastity deliberately vow'd may be inoffensively violated This Proposition is a Doctrine of the Answerer's Church except His be not the same Church with Edward the Sixths or the thirty Second Article have now another sense than when composed by Cranmer For all Bishops and Priests then in the Western Church had deliberately vow'd Chastity and the Article says 't is lawful for them to Marry which certainly violates their Vow No Scripture is alledged justifying a Tenet so impure so perfidious IX All Christian Excellencies are Commanded Phil. 4.8 Is quoted as comprehending all Christian Excellencies If it do so yet unless besides comprehending it command them that Scripture will not prove the Tenet Nor can the Answerer conclude from the Mode of it's expression that It does command them because 't is common to an Exhortation as well as Precept as Protestants must confess who affirm Pasce Oves to be One The same Answer will serve for Be ye perfect And for to whom much is given of them much shall be required This imports that proportion not equality must be in our Accounts to our Abilities But how does this Scripture accord with this Author's Doctrine that we must always reckon the Heights and perfections of Vertues are commanded The Account corresponds to our Abilities so sure does the Command but all Abilities are not the same in all how then can God's Commands be so to all as they are if He always injoyns the Heights and perfections of Vertues unless perfections and Heights may have degrees which also makes little for this Author If to supererogate did signifie with Catholics to profit God then the Fourteenth Article condemning the Teachers of Works of Supererogation of Arrogance and Impiety had been solidly founded on when you have done all that are commanded to you say we are unprofitable Servants But we meaning no such thing the Article perverts Scripture X. Every Soul as soon as expired is convey'd to Heaven or Hell. The Parable of Dives and Lazarus and St. Paul's desire to be dissolv'd c. Our Author says look fairly towards this Tenet So they do if three Souls be All or All Souls expire in either Dive's fitness for Hell or Lazarus's and St. Paul's for Heaven XI Desiring the Intercessions of the Blessed is more Superstitious and Derogatory to our Lord's Mediator ship than intreating the Prayers of Holy Men Militant It is not at all in Scripture that our Saviour is our only Mediator of Intercession therefore this Proposition is not plain there If such an only Mediatorship of Intercession be plain in Scripture it had been easie and kind to have named such a plain Scripture Yet none is brought unless the Answerer meant Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God c. for such a one Truly I see not how he can deduce from it any thing to his purpose till it appear that all Prayer is divine Worship Or that we pray to Saints just as we do to God. XII Honouring the Cross the Reliques and Representations of our Lord and his Saints with that degree of Reverence as we do the Gospels commonly kiss'd and sworn by Altar and other Utensils is Idolatry Our General Councils tell Protestants we pay no other Honour to any Creature their Test and Homily call the Honour we pay to sacred Persons and Things Idolatry We must then either challenge Protestants to prove this Proposition or conclude them Calumniators We know what we profess and practise to be as the Catholic Church teaches We hear our Doctrine and Practice confidently said and solemnly subscribed to be Idolatry Sure then we may conclude that Protestants believe the Proposition and decent it is they give a Reason of a Faith so injurious to the Catholic Church or henceforward renounce it XIII The Pope is Antichrist Do only some Protestants and no Homily subscribed as containing a Godly and Wholesome Doctrine necessary for these times Article the Fifty Fifth affirm the Pope to be Antichrist Yet we meet with no Scripture brought to prove this Godly Necessary Doctrine XIV Every Prayer used in Divine Offices must be in a Language Vulgar and intelligible to every Auditor 1 Cor. 14. Is pretended to prove this Tenet when as the Apostle's mind is that whosoever had the Gift of a Tongue strange to all the Auditory should forbear to dictate therein Extempore Sermons Prayers c. containing Matter as well as the Tongue inspired into the Speaker I say this Gift of no use but used for ostentation in such a Case was to be reserved till either the Speaker or some Auditor could and did interpret that the rest might edifie Now will it follow from hence that all the setled Forms of Divine Offices to many of which there is no necessity that all specially joyn and intend be in the vulgar or intelligible to every Auditor It is enough to comply with the Apostles Doctrine that all new Extempore Prayers and instructive or exhortatory Discourses by actions ceremonies or circumstances or other way not interpretable be as they are in the vulgar But for the fixt Forms of Divine Offices that they be in a Language the most certain and the most
