well then yet it is Bread when he had broken it then he gave it what did he give the Bread which he break well then yet it is Bread when he had given it they did eat it what did they eat the Bread which he gave them well then yet it is Bread when they did eat it then he said This is my Body what did he call his Body the Bread which they did eat well then yet is it Bread. If it be Bread all this while when he did take it and bless it and break it and gave it and they did eat it when is it turned into his Body here they stand like the Sadduces as mute as Fishes Now that ye may see that not we only say it is Bread and Wine after the Consecration in the 27. verse Christ himself doth call it Bread and Wine after he had given it as he did before And in Mark he saith I will drink no more of the fruit of the Vine Here Christ saith that it was the Fruit of the Vine which he drank but his Blood is not the Fruit of Vines but Wine therefore Wine was his drink and not Blood. Beside if you would hear Paul expound Christ he sheweth that all our Fathers had the same substance of Christ in their Sacraments that we have in ours for he saith They all did eat the same spiritual meat and all drank the same spiritual drink Straight he saith that this meat and this drink was Christ. Mark that he saith not onely They did eat the same meat that we eat but he saith that this meat was Christ and not only so but to shew that Christ is not a corporal meat as the Papists say he saith he is a spiritual meat as we say therefore you see that we do not eat him corporally no more then our Fathers but that as they did eat him spiritually so do we for spiritual meat must be eaten spiritually as corporal meat is eaten corporally Again for the signs to be turned into the thing signified by them is utterly against the nature of a Sacrament and makes it no Sacrament because there is no Sign for every Sacrament doth consist of a Sign and a thing signified the Sign is ever an Earthly thing and that which is signified is a Heavenly thing This shall appear in all examples As in Paradise there was a very Tree for the Sign and Christ the thing signified by it in Circumcision there was a cuting off of the Skin and the cuting off of Sin in the Passover there was a Lamb and Christ in the Sabbath there was a day of rest and eternal rest in the Sacrifice there was an offering of some Beast and the offering of Christ in the Sauctuary there was the holy Place and Heaven in the Propitiatory there was the Golden covering and Christ our cover in the Wilderness there was a Rock yielding Water and Christ yielding his Blood in the Apparition there was a Dove and the holy Ghost in the Manna there was Bread and Christ in Baptism there is very Water which washeth us and Christ's Blood washing us so in the Supper of Christ there is very Bread and Wine for the sign and the Body and Blood of Christ for the thing signified or else this Sacrament is against the nature of all other Sacraments Again there must be a proportion between the Passover and the Lord's Supper because this was figured by the other Now the Jews had in their Passover Bread and Wine and a Lamb So our Saviour Christ instituting his last Supper left Bread and Wine and a Lamb the which name is given to himself because he came like a Lamb and dyed like a Lamb. Again if Christ's very Body were offered in the Sacrament then it were not a Sacrament but a Sacrifice which two differ as much as giving and taking for in a Sacrifice we give and in a Sacrament we receive and therefore we say our Sacrifice and Christ's Sacrament Again every Sacrifice was offered upon the Altar Now mark the wisdom of the holy Ghost least we should take this for a Sacrifice he never names Altar when he speaks of it but The Table of the Lord. Therefore it is no doubt but the devil hath kept the name of Altar that we might think it a Sacrifice Again if the Bread were Christ's Flesh and the Wine his Blood as these two are separate one from the other so Christ Flesh should be separate from his Blood but his Body is not divided for then it were a dead Body Again that which remaineth doth nourish the Body and relish in the Mouth as it did before which could not be but that it is the same food which it was before Again I would ask whose are this whitness and hardness and roundness and coldness None of them say that it is the whitness and hardness and roundness and coldness of Christ's Body therefore it must needs be the whiteness and hardness and roundness and coldness of the Bread or else qualities should stand without substances which is as if one should tell you of a House without a foundation Again as Christ dwelleth in us so he is eaten of us but he dwelleth in us onely by faith Ephe. 3. 17. Therefore he is eaten onely by faith Again none can be saved without the Communion of the Body of Christ but if all should communicate with it corporally then neither Infants nor any of our Fathers the Patriarchs or the Prophets should be saved because they received it not so Again Christ saith not This Wine but This Cup and therefore by their conclusion not only the Wine should be turned into Blood but the Cup too Again Paul saith They which receive unworthily receive their own damnation But if it were the Flesh of Christ they should rather receive salvation than damnation because Christ saith He that eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Blood hath life everlasting John 6. 54. Again if they would hear an Angel from Heaven when Christ's Body was glorified an Angel saith to the Woman He is risen and is not here Mat. 28. as if he should say his Body is but in one place at once or else he might have been there though he was risen Again why do they say in receiving this Sacrament ever since the Primitive Church Lift up your Hearts if they have all in their Mouths To end this controversy here we may say as the Disciples said to Christ Whither shall we go from thee I mean we need not to go to any other expositor of Christ then Christ himself therefore mark what he saith at first when Christ said that he was the Bread of Life and that all which would live must eat him they murmured until he expounded his words and how did he expound his words Thus He that cometh unto me hath eaten and he that beleeveth in me hath drank After when he instituted this Sacrament in like words
