of_o doctrine_n 3._o here_o the_o romish_a doctor_n now_o adays_o think_v to_o shelter_v themselves_o by_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v true_a that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n under_o both_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o that_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v so_o celebrate_v it_o not_o by_o any_o express_a command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n but_o mere_o by_o ecclesiastical_a policy_n which_o may_v be_v change_v as_o several_a occasion_n and_o circumstance_n require_v and_o they_o add_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o observe_v that_o which_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o sacrament_n viz._n to_o receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o the_o church_n may_v change_v that_o which_o be_v accidental_a viz._n to_o receive_v they_o under_o both_o the_o species_n or_o under_o one_o species_n only_o for_o they_o will_v have_v it_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n by_o concommitance_n and_o that_o his_o body_n be_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o wine_n by_o concommitance_n because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v now_o glorious_a his_o body_n and_o blood_n can_v be_v separate_v 4._o to_o this_o i_o reply_v first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o express_a command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o take_v the_o cup_n and_o drink_v st._n matth._n 26._o in_o these_o word_n drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o to_o this_o the_o romish_a doctor_n answer_n that_o the_o word_n all_o be_v not_o extend_v to_o all_o man_n for_o than_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o eucharistical_a cup_n ought_v to_o be_v give_v to_o turk_n jew_n and_o all_o other_o infidel_n and_o they_o add_v that_o the_o word_n all_o do_v not_o extend_v to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o elect_n for_o then_o the_o eucharistical_a cup_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o little_a child_n who_o god_n have_v elect_v to_o eternal_a life_n but_o say_v they_o the_o word_n all_o be_v extend_v only_o to_o all_o those_o to_o who_o jesus_n christ_n give_v the_o cup_n viz._n to_o the_o apostle_n consider_v as_o they_o be_v pastor_n 5._o to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o although_o jesus_n christ_n give_v this_o command_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o eucharistical_a cup_n to_o his_o apostle_n only_o yet_o we_o must_v know_v in_o what_o quality_n they_o receive_v this_o command_n but_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o quality_n of_o apostle_n for_o than_o none_o but_o apostle_n can_v partake_v of_o the_o cup_n and_o there_o be_v now_o no_o more_o apostle_n it_o shall_v be_v quite_o take_v away_o and_o so_o mass_n can_v be_v no_o more_o celebrate_v and_o it_o be_v not_o in_o quality_n of_o pastor_n or_o sacrifice_a priest_n for_o jesus_n christ_n be_v then_o the_o only_a sacrificer_n as_o the_o romish_a doctor_n say_v and_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o then_o exercise_v the_o function_n of_o sacrifice_a priest_n beside_o it_o belong_v to_o pastor_n and_o those_o that_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n be_v public_a person_n to_o give_v but_o to_o private_a person_n to_o receive_v only_o but_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o eucharist_n do_v only_o receive_v of_o jesus_n christ_n their_o master_n and_o pastor_n therefore_o they_o receive_v the_o command_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n as_o they_o be_v believer_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o faithful_a that_o partake_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n be_v oblige_v by_o the_o command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o cup._n so_o then_o the_o romish_a doctor_n be_v mistake_v when_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o none_o but_o priest_n that_o sacrifice_n have_v a_o right_a to_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n and_o that_o those_o priest_n that_o do_v not_o sacrifice_v must_v communicate_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n only_o for_o at_o that_o time_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o sacrifice_v to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v that_o if_o the_o command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o pastor_n only_o because_o they_o to_o who_o christ_n speak_v be_v pastor_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n take_v eat_v be_v speak_v to_o pastor_n because_o they_o to_o who_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v be_v pastor_n and_o so_o the_o people_n will_v not_o be_v oblige_v by_o any_o command_n to_o communicate_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o consequent_o will_v be_v whole_o deprive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v very_o absurd_a and_o contrary_a to_o christian_a religion_n 6._o second_o i_o say_v that_o in_o 1_o cor._n 1._o there_o be_v a_o express_a command_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n in_o these_o word_n let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o this_o cup._n in_o which_o word_n the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o all_o believer_n who_o no_o doubt_n have_v cause_n to_o examine_v themselves_o and_o this_o be_v apparent_a because_o st._n paul_n direct_v his_o epistle_n and_o consequent_o these_o word_n to_o all_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n as_o well_o layman_n as_o ecclesiastical_a for_o in_o chap._n 1._o vers_fw-la 2._o he_o direct_v it_o to_o all_o that_o in_o every_o place_n call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n to_o this_o i_o add_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o only_o say_v as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n but_o also_o as_o often_o as_o you_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v so_o that_o we_o do_v as_o much_o commemorate_v christ_n death_n by_o partake_v of_o the_o cup_n in_o the_o eucharist_n as_o we_o do_v by_o partake_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o this_o be_v very_o proper_a for_o see_v that_o not_o only_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v break_v but_o also_o his_o blood_n shed_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o that_o in_o every_o propitiation_n and_o expiation_n for_o sin_n the_o effusion_n of_o blood_n be_v very_o considerable_a because_o it_o represent_v death_n better_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o do_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o do_v not_o celebrate_v the_o memory_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o they_o ought_v that_o do_v not_o partake_v of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n whereby_o only_o we_o commemorate_v the_o effusion_n of_o christ_n blood_n 7._o three_o i_o say_v that_o in_o the_o dispute_n about_o the_o eucharist_n our_o adversary_n do_v allege_v to_o we_o the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o chap._n 6._o of_o st._n john_n gospel_n except_o you_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o why_o then_o do_v they_o deprive_v the_o people_n of_o life_n by_o take_v the_o cup_n from_o they_o and_o hinder_v they_o from_o drink_v and_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n here_o to_o allege_v concommitance_n and_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o by_o take_v christ_n body_n under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n we_o take_v his_o blood_n also_o because_o it_o be_v inseparable_a from_o his_o body_n for_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o to_o take_v christ_n blood_n in_o take_v the_o host_n be_v not_o to_o drink_v it_o but_o jesus_n christ_n say_v express_o except_o a_o man_n drink_v his_o blood_n he_o have_v no_o life_n in_o he_o second_o i_o say_v that_o although_o in_o some_o place_n by_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v mean_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n too_o yet_o it_o can_v not_o be_v in_o those_o place_n where_o a_o manifest_a distinction_n be_v make_v between_o the_o body_n and_o the_o blood_n but_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n this_o distinction_n be_v very_o apparent_a for_o jesus_n christ_n give_v first_o the_o sacrament_n and_o sign_n of_o his_o body_n in_o these_o word_n take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o and_o then_o separately_z the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o blood_n in_o these_o word_n drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o for_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o and_o he_o not_o only_o speak_v of_o they_o separately_z but_o represent_v they_o as_o real_o separate_v in_o his_o death_n for_o he_o say_v my_o body_n break_v for_o you_o and_o my_o blood_n shed_v for_o you_o in_o which_o word_n there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o concomitance_n for_o the_o body_n break_v by_o divers_a wound_n do_v not_o contain_v the_o blood_n and_o the_o blood_n be_v shed_v be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o body_n also_o our_o adversary_n affirm_v
not_o be_v appease_v but_o by_o the_o bloody_a and_o ignominious_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n therefore_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n must_v have_v change_v its_o nature_n if_o sin_n can_v be_v expiate_v in_o the_o mass_n without_o pain_n or_o suffer_v 20._o three_o to_o the_o distinction_n of_o primitive_a sacrifice_n which_o be_v offer_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o representative_a commemorative_n and_o applicative_a which_o be_v daily_o offer_v in_o the_o mass_n i_o reply_v first_o that_o what_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n say_v in_o session_n 22._o viz._n that_o in_o the_o eucharist_n there_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n representative_a commemorative_n and_o applicative_a of_o that_o of_o the_o mass_n may_v bear_v a_o good_a sense_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v in_o it_o a_o representation_n commemoration_n and_o application_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n viz._n a_o representation_n because_o the_o bread_n break_v represent_v the_o body_n break_v and_o the_o wine_n pour_v into_o the_o cup_n represent_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n a_o commemoration_n because_o all_o that_o be_v do_v in_o it_o be_v do_v in_o remembrance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o death_n according_a to_o his_o own_o command_n in_o these_o word_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o according_a to_o what_o st._n paul_n say_v 1_o cor._n 11._o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v and_o a_o application_n because_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v apply_v to_o we_o not_o only_o by_o the_o word_n but_o also_o by_o the_o sacrament_n as_o we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o but_o our_o adversary_n be_v not_o content_a with_o this_o for_o they_o will_v have_v it_o that_o in_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o eucharist_n there_o be_v offer_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a sacrifice_n propitiatory_a for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a which_o have_v be_v already_o refute_v at_o large_a second_o i_o say_v that_o the_o application_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n may_v be_v consider_v on_o god_n part_n or_o on_o man_n part_n on_o god_n part_n when_o he_o offer_v jesus_n christ_n to_o we_o with_o all_o his_o benefit_n both_o in_o his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n on_o man_n part_n when_o by_o a_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n work_v by_o love_n we_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o his_o benefit_n offer_v to_o we_o both_o in_o his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o jesus_n christ_n teach_v we_o st._n john_n 3._o in_o these_o word_n as_o moses_n lift_v up_o the_o serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n even_o so_o must_v the_o son_n of_o man_n

in_o his_o blood_n he_o do_v not_o say_v through_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n but_o through_o faith_n and_o we_o real_o and_o true_o apply_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n cross_n when_o

very_o fit_o call_v a_o sacrifice_a of_o christ_n as_o well_o because_o it_o be_v the_o representation_n of_o christ_n passion_n as_o because_o by_o this_o sacrament_n we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lord_n passion_n and_o afterward_o he_o give_v his_o answer_n in_o these_o word_n i_o answer_v we_o must_v say_v that_o the_o celebration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v call_v a_o sacrifice_a of_o christ_n in_o two_o respect_n first_o because_o as_o augustine_n to_o simplicius_n say_v we_o be_v wont_n to_o give_v to_o image_n the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n whereof_o they_o

sacrament_n as_o have_v be_v say_v above_o be_v a_o representative_a image_n of_o christ_n passion_n which_o passion_n be_v the_o true_a sacrifice_v of_o christ_n and_o so_o the_o celebration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v the_o sacrifice_a of_o christ._n second_o the_o celebration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v call_v the_o sacrifice_a of_o christ_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o effect_n of_o christ_n passion_n because_o by_o this_o sacrament_n we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lord_n passion_n let_v the_o romanist_n keep_v to_o this_o decision_n of_o their_o

objection_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v false_a that_o article_n of_o faith_n be_v always_o express_v in_o proper_a term_n in_o holy_a scripture_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o
