redemtion My bloud is verely drynke There ar wōderfull thynges brethrē y● are spokē of thys sacrament Fayth is necessary the knowledge of reason is clene voyde Knoledge is gathered by reason and vnderstāding faith is inducid by autoritie onely S. Austē agaīst Felician Fayth beleueth this intelligēce requyreth it not lest that either it shuld thinke that that is not inuented and foūd incredible or not beleue that to be singuler y● is foūd Thsee be the thinges my brethren that necessarelye doo requyre ●ayth and vtterly admit no reason They require a simple beleuer and reproue a wick●d examiner And therfore that must simply be beleued that cā not profitably be south oughte This is the ryuer that Helesius coulde not wade ouer Therfore seke not seke not how it may be done nor doubte not whether it be done Come not vnrenerently vnto it lest it be death vnto you For why it is God althoughe yt haue cōtaineth the mistery of brede yet it is conuertyd into fleshe he is both god and mā that dothe testify that y● brede is truelye turned into his fleshe He is a chosen vessel y● dothe threten iudgement to those that doo not iudge so holy fleshe And thou o y● chrystian shalt think and iudg the same of y● wine honor the same in the wine He is the creator the maker of the wine y● doth brynge alter the wine into Chrystes bloud It is the doctor of the gentyls that assuryth hym to drynke hys death y● vnworthely drinketh the bloude of chryst And ye must know y● the water mixed with the wine deth sygnifye the vnyon of y● mēbers with hys heade For many waters ar much peple The thre portiōs whiche are made of chrystes body vpon the alter haue a mistycal signyficatiō The body of christ is the vniuersall churche y● is the hed with themēbers and ther are found in this bodias it ▪ were three partes of the which the whole body doth confesse One part is y● head it self The heade is the heade and lykewise apart of the bodye therefore the heade it selfe is one parte of the bodye I saye the heade that nowe hath rysyn immortal and impassyble shal die nor suffer no more The other parte of the body is in these members the whych do now rest in y● soule wyth the heade as it were in the sabbote possessynge one stole of immortalytye as concernyng the soules in heuen Of the whych it is sayd The soules of sayntes reioyce in heanen Therfore these two partes are together the head that is christ the otherpart of the bodi y● is y● good which are deade and buryed whose bodyes do rest in theyr graue and theyrsoules wyth chryst And therfore two partes are reseruyd without the chalice vpon the aulter as it were wythoute the passyon For why goodmen nowe do fele no doloure nor payne for all these thynges are paste The thyrd part whych we do put into the bloud doth sygnyfye that part of the church which doth drinke our lordes chalyce that is which doth en●ue follow the passion of christ vnto whom our lorde amōg hys apostles sayd In me ye haue peace in the worlde ye shal haue tribulatiō Sauer forme tast wait do remain coutinue to the rite of the mistery to y● suffrage and helpe of y● taste that y● abhorring of y● thing might vtterly be takē awai y● merit might take place For lest humaine infyrmitie should abhore the eating of the fieshe and drinkyng of the bloud in the takyng therof Chryst would y● those thynges shuld be coueryd hyddē vnder the forms of brede wyne the whyche amōg al other fode of mākind are pryncipall chefest For certēly as cōcernyng y● letter breade aboue al other foode doth strēgthē the hert of mā and wyne doth most cōforth the same Therefore he purposyd apointed his body and hys bloud so to be receuyd y● in the one the senses of man shuld be nouryshed and that fayth in the other shoulde be edyfied For why the sensys in the one whilst they behold wontly customably things are noryshed fayth in the other whilst y● the fleshly eye doth out wardly see onthing the eye of the hart doth inwardly fele reuerēce a nother is edified For one thing is hyddē a nother apereth For he made darkenes hys secret place And as y● formes are sene there the thynges and the substaūce of thē not credydyd to be there so the thyng is truely substācially beleued whose forme shape is not sene The forme of bred and wine is sene and yet the substaunce of breade and wyne is not beleuyd But the substaūce of the body and bloud although the forme is not sene is beleuyd and the forme of breade wine is set before vs to teach vs y● ther is a full and a perfecte refectyon There is in the receit of y● body and bloud of christ a ful refection mete and drinke is brede and wyne And being but one sacrament yet thre diuers thinges are set before vs that is a bysyble forme the vnytye of the bodye and the vertue of spiritual grace The vysyble forme is one thing the which is sene vysibly and the verite of the body which is beleuyd vnuysyble vnder a vysyble forme is a nother the spyrytuall grace the which is a visybly and spiritually reeeyued with the bopye bloude onely of those that ●●orthely receue it For ye must marke thre thinges in the sacramēt of the aulter y● forme of bred the verytye of the flesh the vertu of the spiritual grace The vtward sense doth exted rech vnto the forme of bred the inward faith vnto y● veritye of the flesh the superior charitie vnto the vertu of the spirituall grace The litle mouse doth at sūtimes gnaw y● forme an 〈◊〉 dog doth also receue it but y● only predestinate doth receue the vertu of y● spiritual grace That we doo se is the forme of bred wyne But y● that we beleue to be vnder the forme of bred wine is the very bodye the verye bloud that hung that ran out of hys side vpō the crosse Therfore the sacramētal eating receuyng as cōcernyng the vysyble forme and the verite of the body of chryst is comenly cōuenient both vnto the good and euil But ther is as I alredy haue said a nother eting of good mē only y● which the merit of life doth cause the grace of god faith working affectyon of the mynd in the hartes of the receuers or of y● minysters a certē spiritual subtile vnyon of the hed and the mēbers cōming betwene where vpon is thys That it may be vnto vs the bodi and bloud of thi sonne It may be vnto vs sayeth he No doute the body of our lord is alway made vpon the table of the alter whan that solemne mystery
