perfecte vnderstandyng and knowledge of hym and of hys moste holye worde And amonge other of hys deuyne oracles thus he prayed and sayde Psa cxiii O Lorde geue me vnderstandynge and I shall diligently seke out thy lawe yea and I shall kepe it with my whole harte Let my supplycatyon O Lorde come before thy presence and geue me vnderstandyng according vnto thy worde And agayne O Lorde teache me goodnes disciplyne and knowledge for I went wronge and therfore nowe I haue kept thy worde These wordes O Lorde geue me vnderstanding so often in culcat and so many tymes iterate do no lesse then euidently declare thys holye Prophetes humble hart and earnest desyre and meanynge how glad he was to be taught howe desyrous he was to learne and how wyllyng he was to haue vnderstandynge and not to stand in the defence of his owne iudgement as the sturdy and blynde ignorauntes do And therefore thys holesome lesson louynge Syster in Chryst I wolde wyshe you to learne of thys moste godlye Prophete and with a stedfast harte and a faythefull mynde to embrace the same And than no doute you shall be well assured God wyll poure into you as he did into hym out of hys plentifull treasures the true vnderstanding of hys moste holly word euen as our hollye mother the Church techeth and beleueth For his dyuyne word may not be taken nether yet expoūded after the rasshe fantastycall myndes of the blynd and ignoraunte but after the true and syncere meaning of the holye Apostles blessed martirs and worthye fathers and rulers of Chrystes mooste catholyke Churche from whome and by whome the chrystian congregation hath alwaye bene ruled and gouerned euer sythen the deathe and passion of oure Sauyour Iesu Chryste And therfore let no other doctryne then theirs lede you trade you or instructe you in the truth of goddes mooste lyuely worde for yf you be otherwise scoled or yf you stande to your owne iudgemente or yf you be wedded to youre owne erronious opynions then wyl the spirite of truethe flee farre from you and leaue you alone to youre selfe as barren as the wythered fygge tree Mat. xxi Nowe to come to the matter which I entend thoroughe goddes myghte to wryght to you of As farre as I doo remember the lytle talke whyche we entred into and not fynished by reasone of your departure send for by the worshypfull Lad ye of the house and your other neyghboures and frendes whyche you came in companye wyth all was thys that the blessed bodye of oure Sauiour Iesu Chryste cannot be presentlye here in earth and also in heauen at one time and together O lytel faythe If this youre saying should be true as it is playne false than in vayne were oure chrystyan religyon But you shall clerely be putte out of doute and playnely vnderstand that our fyrme faith and beleue is grounded founded and rered vpon the head corner stone electe and precious that is vpon Chryst him selfe in whose mouth was neuer fraude ne guyle fou●●● And he that beleuethe in hym sayth Saynt Peter shal not be cōfounded Therefore vnto thē which beleue he is precius but to thē which beleue not he is a stone to stomble at and a rocke to offend them that stōble at the worde and beleaue not that where on they were set And therefore now seynge that chryste our Sauioure is the truth Ihō xiiii and also the auctour of all truthe as he saythe hym selfe I am the way the truthe and the lyfe who than dare be so bolde to denaye that thinge which he affyrmeth and approueth For he hym selfe sayde at his moste godlye maundye in the presence of al his disciples 〈◊〉 hys blessed Bodye was ●●●d there really presente 〈…〉 ●e fourmes of breade and wyne And this the holye Euangelyst Saynt Mathew in hys Gospell declarethe in wordes euydent and playne Ma. xx where he thus sayeth As they were eating Iesus toke brede and when he had geuen thankes he brake it and gaue it to hys disciples and sayde Take eate this is my bodye And he toke the cuppe and whan he had geuen thankes he gaue it to them saying Drynke you al of this for this is my bloude of the newe testamente that shal be shedde for manye for the remission of synnes Nowe here haue you harde how playnly our sauyour Chryst hym selfe affyrmeth that his moste holy and blessed bodi bothe fleshe blud was really corporally naturally and substancially present at this worthy maundy vnder the accedental fourms of bred and wyne And as thys holye euangelyste hath here mooste truely declared the maner and fourme of this godlye institution and ordinaunce euen soo and no lesse do al the other thre euangelistes also the blessed Apostle Saynt Paule whose sayinges at thys tyme I doo here omyt because I truste in God this frutefull declaratyon shal be sufficiente vnto you yf that you wyll with a stedfast fayth open your hart and faythfully receyue and folowe the same And although christ alsoso be in heauen and syttethe at the ryght hand of God the 〈◊〉 yet whosoeuer shal eate 〈…〉 breade in the supper of our lorde accordyng to Chrystes institution and ordinaūce is assured by chrystes promis and testament that he receyueth Chrystes very body whiche suffered for vs vppon the crosse And lykewyse he that drynketh of that holy cuppe in that supper of oure Lorde accordyng to chrystes institutyon is certified by Christes legation and testament that he drynketh the bloude of Chryst which was shed for vs. Soo that no man can contempne or lyghtlye esteme this mooste holy and blessed communion excepte he contempne also chrystes blessed body bloud And because it shoulde not be thought but that thys mooste godlye instytution and ordinaunces shoulde alway hereafter be put in vre and to haue a perpetuall contynuaunce in Chrystes church to all forces purposes and effectes lyke as Chryste hym selfe dyd leaue it and set it fourth vnto vs at his most blessed maundy he went farther with vs and gaue vs a commaundement and sayd Luc. xxii Thys doo in remembraunce of me Now what was Chrystes mening by these two wordes this do
