hym self ofteÌ tymes and after he âayth he shulde haue suffered ofteÌ âyâhe the begynning of the worlde Thys âexte dothe clearly expresse that Iesus christ offereth not hym self many tymes or that he shulde dye many tymes for Iesus christe to dye and to be offered vnto hys father is al one Nowe shall he neuer dye more wherby he shal neuer be sacrifyced and in sacryfyce he wyl neuer offer hym self more thaÌ it foloweth that no man can offre and sacryfy ce hym agayne for yf he offre not hym selfe âhowe maye other offre him for certaynly sythe the death death of christ all vysyble sacrifyces is ceased and the state of sacri fyces is appered wherfore they aâ vayne seductors begylers lyars may be knowen to be fooles vnwytty vnhappy voyd of brayne Now âor a more ampie probacion pounder well the. x ⪠chapter of the same Epystle whych maketh mencion thorowly of thys sacryâyce of Iesus christ the whyche hathe made an ende of all vysyble sacryfyces so that none doth abyde for synne Behold I come lord god to thende that I may do thy wyll by the whych wyll we be sanctyfyed by the oblacyons made by Iesus Christe for by one oblatioÌ he hath made the sanctifyed y t is the faith full perfyte for euer eternally for after he sayth I shal haue no more mynd of theyr sinnes and of theyr iniquities and where there is remyssion of theÌ ther is no more oblation for synne But S. Paul declareth vnto vs what sacrifice we shuld offer let vs folow hys deuyne councell I praye you my bre thren by the mercy of god that ye offre youre bodyes in a lyuely sacryfyce holylye and pleasaunte to god c. To offer thys sacryfyce We be all ordeyned of God Kynges and priestes wythoute any soche disguysed shauen shorne ce remonies for we be to vyle vnworthi to offer vnto god ani new sacryfice for synne for asmoche as christ hath offered vp hym selfe to hys father for vs as touchyng to worshyp the sacrameÌt In the who le scriptures nother by any wrytyng of the old holy fathers doc tores as S. Augustyne Ambrose Hierome Cypriane Chrisostome FulgeÌcius and soch other neuer taught men to worshippe it for yf these holy fathers had taken these textes before resyted carnally as they toke it spirituallye then in theyr workes they wold haue tau ght meÌ to worshypped it but they neuer taught meÌ to worshyp thys sacrameÌt bycause they toke it spiritually and therfore to worshyp it it is dampnable Idolatrye for god wyl gyue hys honour to non other for thys holy supper of the lord is takyng for a plege of euer lastyng lyfe whych the faythefull desyre moste humblye to receyue wyth a manyfest perticipation euen that thynge whyche we touche in the Image of the sacrament whiche is the pledge and the Image of another thynge that is to say they represent another thing but not theÌselues yea they whyche is shewed vnto the beleuers y â death of christ inuiâybly for a perpetual remembraunce of hys passion for christ sayth in the gospel Do this in my remembraunce and S. paul expoundeth it thus So ofte as ye eate of thys bread and drynke of thys wyne you shall shew y â death of the lord tyll he come Thus we be taught both of Iesus Christe and S. Paul That the bread and the wyne is set furthe to our eyes for a fygure or a memorye of the lordes deathe That as often as we shal receyue thys holy supper of the lorde it may put vs in remeÌ brauÌce in this tyme present what Christ hathe done for vs in tymes paste that we maye be made mynd full of hys paynefull death passion whyche he suffered for vs that we may be made also worthy partakers of that godly communion by the whych we are delyue red froÌ death and knowinge that after thys lyfe we shall come to y â vysyon or Christe where we shall haue no neade of any soch instrumentes to put vs in remembraun ce any more by any extârââll sygne what corâst ââthe âoââ for âs for we lokyng of hym face to face shal not be aâmoniââed by any out warde or iemporall thyngâs out onely to be fully certyâyed by the contemplacion of the truth it self and to geue gloryâ and prayse to the auctour of our helth ⪠for euer Now it is to be noted that y â faith full receaueth not the thynge loked vpon wyth our carnall eyes in the mystery of thys sacrament but that whych is beleued for the meate is spyrytuall and the dâynke is spirituall and feadâth y e sou le spiritually and y â gâueth euerla stynge lyfe to the beleuers secretlâe as âââe âaâyoure saythe hym selâe ââe spyryte is he that quycke neth The ââeasshe profyteth nothynge proffeteth nothyng Here breuely haue I declared vnto you y e true vnderstanding of the most blessed sacrament of the bodye blood of christ both by the mynd of christe hym selfe S. Paul the euaÌgelistes and the olde fathers and holy doc tors as here is recyted and yf any wyll diligeÌtly read the scriptures they shall fynde and clearly percea ue that for the space of L. ix yeares al the doctors to affyrme this sacrament to be a mysterye neuer knew of thys transubstanciation of the bread and wyne as the se deuelish dreamers dothe teache therfore beleue them not for they are blynd leaders of the blynde so that the leader the folower shal fal bothe into the pyt And as it is mencyoned in the. i. of Sapience what a terrible sentence they shal geue agaynst theÌ selues in the latter daye of iudgement in horrible fear shal they confesse openly befo re the hyghe iudge Iesu Christ to whom is generall power bothe in heauen and earthe that all hathe bene dampnable follyshenes that they haue gone aboute that they haue erred from the truth haue bene wilfully ignoraunt and that they haue tyred theÌ selues in thee waye of wyckednes destruction and so forthe Thus these vngodly teachers of theyr own dreames shal why she the great mountayns to ouer whelme theÌ in that dreadfull daye therfore heare what S.
