of that Verse I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven if any man eat of this Bread he shall live for ever and the Bread that I will give is my Flesh which I give for the Life of the World. What can be more positive for our purpose Yet Beza had the impudence to translate most perfidiously Life giving Bread instead of Living Bread but in this he was most absurdly perfidious for the Sun is Life giving tho' not living and being granted that this Bread is living it must of necessity be Jesus Christs own precious Body St. Paul 1 Cor. 10. v. 16. Proves it positively as appears by the following words 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 And 1 Cor. 12. v. 29. for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself not discerning the Lords Body There is none if he be not wilfully blind but may see out of both these passages and out of many more that before Jesus Christ gave this Sacrament to his Apostles at the actual giving it them and after he had given it them and they to others both Christ and his Apostles call it Flesh and Blood Christ sayeth This is my Flesh this is my Blood. And the Apostles name it Corpus Domini the Lords Body Now my Lord I will urge one instance more against your Communion by Faith only and thus I proceed either your Lordships Soul in your actual Communion ascendeth to Heaven there to feed on Christ by Faith or else Christ descendeth to feed your Soul. What to this my Lord You cannot allow the first for so your unglorified Soul should be in two places at once which you deny even to the very glorified Soul and Body of Christ You do not allow the second for so Christ shou'd be in two places at once and if in two why not in an hundred and an hundred thousand For the one is no more difficult to Gods absolute Power then the other This you do not allow for once granted the rest cou'd not be denied I wou'd fain then know what you are at in your Sacramental Communion for I do not find any third way your Lordship can feed in truth and really on Christs Body in your Sacrament nay I am sure you never found it out yet your self nor ever shall Now I see you must own you cannot well tell the way or manner how your Soul feeds on Christs most Sacred Body in the Sacrament You eat him then non dijudicans Corpus Domini viz. Not discerning the Lords Body Pray then read your own judgement in St. Paul 1 Cor. 22. judicium sibi manducat bibit He eats and drinks his own judgement I shall beg of your Lordship once more to deal sincerely and tell me your own opinion of the Protestant Communion I know full well what you say in the exposition of your Catechism Printed for Charles Brome anno 1686. That I know and will soon bring down your very words which are quite opposited to what I heard you Preach the last Ascention-Day But tell me once more I pray your meaning in this particular For my part I want day to find you out for I see your Sermon contradicts your Writings non es ergo tibi constans i. e. you are not constant to your self For now you receive Christs Flesh and Blood virtually now Figuratively another time spiritually by Faith and in Exposition of your Catechism you contradict all that in teaching the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ to be verily and indeed taken by the Faithful in our Lords Supper Here are your own words Pag. 75. Glory be to thee O adorable Jesus who under the outward and visible part the Bread and Wine things obvious and easily prepared both which thou hast commanded to be received dost communicate to our Souls the Mystery of Divine Love the inward and invisible Grace thy own most blessed Body and Blood which are verily and indeed taken and received by the Faithful in thy Supper for which all Love all Glory be to thee These are your own words my Lord Catholick enough on the Paper but quite contrary to what you teach in the Pulpit for there you say That the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is verily and indeed taken by the Faithful and here you say not at all but sometimes one way and sometimes another spiriritually to day by Faith only and virtually to morrow and in your Catechism you write indeed and verily So that I cannot compare your Opinion of this Mystery better then to what White of Lincoln chargeth Bishop Ridley with concerning the destruction of Altars and the Erecting of Communion Tables in the beginning of the Reformation You will find it in Doctor Heylins History the 5th year of King Edward the 6ths Reign Pag. 106. Here are the words That when their Table was Constituted they could never be content in placing the same now East now North now one way now another until it pleased God of his goodness to place it quite out of the Church So much out of Heylin I say the same of your Lordships placing the Body and Blood of Christ in the Sacrament now Virtually now Figuratively now Spiritually now by Faith only and in your Catechism verily and indeed until at last it pleased God of his goodness to place himself quite out of your Sacrament Disprove this parity if you can In fine I remember your Lordship protested mightily against Roman Catholicks for Coining and Forgeing new Articles of Faith as well in relation to Transubstantiation as to spiritual Supremacy c. You ought to know my Lord that there is no Church on Earth that protests more against Innovations in matters of Faith Manners and Religious Ceremonies than the Roman Catholick Church As to what belongs to Faith we say write and teach publickly that all Articles of Faith are in themselves un-alterable being they are Eternal Verities whose Objects are eternally true Omnes articuli fidei sunt immutabiles eo quod objecta eorum sint eternae veritatis Nay we say and solemnly protest that St. Peter with all his Successors together if you will in one Chapter cannot alter and much less make one only Article of Faith they all being eternal verities belonging solely to Gods immediate Revelation It is true the Church can declare what is of Faith to be of Faith and what is not of Faith not to be of Faith And this is all the Church of Rome pretends to in the Decision of matters of Faith. So much in answer to your Lordships vehemency against Coiners of new Articles of Faith. Find them out and our Church will condemn 'em with much more Authority than your Lordship who ought rather to charge your own Church with that errour witness your 39 Articles than ours This is the substance my Lord of all
