A14135	A briefe declaration of the sacraments expressing the fyrst oryginall how they came vp, a[n]d were institute with the true and mooste syncere meaning and vnderstandyng of the same very necessarye for all men, that wyl not erre in the true vse and receauing therof. Compyled by the godly learned man Wyllyam Tyndall.; Fruitefull and godly treatise expressing the right institution and usage of the sacramentes	Tyndale, William, d. 1536.	1548 (1548)	STC 24445; ESTC S118858	29,454	82

he blede as freshe on the morow as though he had then blede nothinge at al He was verely muche more easely sacrifyced that nyght in the brrekyng and dyuydynge of the bread and powring out of the wyne thē he was on the morow the sarament was that nyght no dowte but a descrypcyō of hys passyon to come As it is now a memoryall of hys passion paste He instituted the maner of the sacrament then taught hys dyscyples also that they after vnderstod when he was rysen agayn and not then as thei neuer had capacyte to vnderstand hym whē he spake of hys deth For they thē ymagyned carnally of chryste as the Iewes yet do that Chryst shuld neuer dye As he dyd not concerning hys godhead but shulde lyue euer bodylye as he now dothe concernyng hys resurrectyon Wherfore seyng that al the doctours wyth one accorde cal the sacrament so ernestly h sacrifice and they can not other wyse vndstād thē that they so say after the vse of the scrypture onely Because it is the memoryall of the Sacryfyce of his death bloudsheadyng Why shuld they of ryght be offendyd yf we vnderstand the doctours after the same maner whē they calle it hys bodye and bloude howe they so calle it after the vse of scryptur because that it is onely a memoryall of hys body and bloud As concernyng the trāssubstanciatyon I thynke that such a speche was amōg the olde doctours though they that came after vnderstode them amysse their hartes waren gros thorow busying thē selues to much with worldlye busynes for the bread and wine are but only breade and wyne tyll the words of the testamēt be rehearsed ouer thē thē they begynne to be nomore breade and wyne in the hartes of the trew beleuers for the harte after these words ones spoken thynkith only vppon the couenaunt made in the body and bloud of chryste and thorowe fayth eatyth hys bodye and drynkythe hys bloude though the eyes and other Sences perceaue no thynge but Breade and wyne As when a man some tyme sekyth for a text in the byble se paper ynke and the fygures of letters yet hys hart not ons thinkith on any other thīg Then on the wordes and sence of this texte And hereof no dowt cam vp this transsubstancyatyō thorow falce vnderstandynge An other thynge is thys nō of those wyked heretyks whych denyed christ to be very god or any of them that denyed christ to be man ▪ or to haue a veri bodye saue a phantastycall bodye dyd caste the trew beleuers in the tethe at any tyme of the fayth of chrystes body presēt in theyr sacrament eueri wher which thynge it is not lyke but they wold haue done yf that opynyon had bene then a generall artycle of the faythe Neyther was ther any heresye or dyuersytye of opynyon or dysputing about the matter tyll the pope had gatheryd a counsel to confyrme thys transubstancyacyon Wherfore it is moste lykelye that thys opynyon came vp by them of latter dayes Further more all the lawe and prophettes seke al that chryst dyd or can yet do is to brynge vs to beleue in hym and in god the father thorowe hym for the remissyon of sīnes And to bryng vs vnto that whych immedyatly foloweth owt of that belefe to loue owre neyghbours for hys sake as he loued vs Wherfore yf chryste dyd put hys bodylye presens in the sacrament and wold we shuld beleue it It is done only to brynge vs to thys faythe Nowe is thys faythe no wher lesse had then wher that opynion is moste stronge Nether so cruelly persecuted of Iewe or turke as of thē that moste feruentlye defend that opynyon Trew fayth maketh a man to loue hys brother but that opynyon makythe thē to hate and to sley ther brethern that beter beleue in christe than they of that opinion do and the murder do they for feare of losyng that they haue gotten thorow that opynyon Item they of thys opynyon in sted of teachyng vs to beleue in chryst teach vs to serue chryst wyth bodely seruyce whych thynge only is ydolatry for they preache that all the ceremonyes of the masse are a seruyce to god by resone of the bodeli workes to obtayne forgeuenes of synnes therby and to deserue and merytte ther wythe And yet chryste is nowe a spyryte wyth hys father bothe in bodye and soule and with the father to be worshypped in spryte onlye And hys seruyce in the spryte is onlye to beleue in hym for the remyssiō of synne and to loue our neyboures for hys sake Now all works done to serue mā and to bryng hym to thys poynte to put hys truste in chryst are good and acceptable to god But done for any other purpose they be ydolatrye and ymage seruyce and make god an ydoll or bodelye ymage Agayne seyeng the faythe of the testamāt in chrysts bloud is the lyfe of the rygthtuos from the begynnynge of the worlde to the ende And for as muche as the sacramente was instytuted only to brynge to thys lyfe Nowe when they whych thynke not the body to be present in the sacrament a thowsande ensamples in the scrypture concernynge ther iudgemente haue by the preachynge and confyrmacyon of The sacramente obtayned thys lyfe or stedfast sayth in chrystes blo●d by the daylye vse of the sacramente are more and more hardeneyd therin and in the loue that spryngeth therof What resonable cause haue the contrary partye whych beleue the bodye present and the bread turned in to the very body as fleshe bones here Synewes nayles all other as he was born or put ō the cros of lēgth and of quantyte I can not tell what to rayle on as heretykes hate persecuted and fley most cruelly as enymes christ sayth Qui non cōtra me est ▪ me cum est j. He that is not agaynste me is whith me Now they that beleue in christe for the remyssyon of ther synnes for his sake loue ther foes are not chrysts enmyes ▪ ergo they be on chrystes syde Why than shuld they that bost them selues to be chrystes frendes slay them Faythe in Chrystes bloud and in the father thorow hym is goddes seruice in the spyryte And so haue they whych beleue not the bodely presence serued god a longe tyme. And ther to bene holpen by the sacrament The other Parte fallen ther from thorowe preachyng the body present seruyng god wych bodely seruyce whych is Idolatrye and to make god an ydoll or Image in that they truste in the goodnes of theyr workes as they do whych serue tyraunts and not in the goodnesse of god thorow truste in the bloude of Chryste ergo they that beleue not the bodely presence not a lytle therto cōpelled thorow the wycked Idolatrye of the contrarye belefe are not to bethoght so euel as the other wolde haue them seme to be Paule teacheth .i. Corri xiij that yf a man had al other gyftes that god cā geue

him how he shulde be serued Fynallye where Mathewe and Marke saye Thys Cup is my bloude of the newe Testamente PAULE and Luke sayth Thys cup is the new testament in my bloud Nowe must the sence of the woordes of the twoo fyrste Math and marke be all one wythe the sences of the wordes of the twoo laste luke and paule The wordes of luke ād paule are Thys cup is the new testamēt made in my bloud or for my bloud sake Now the testamēt is y● hys bloude was shede for owre sinnes but it is impossyble y● the cuppe or his bloud shulde be that promysse wherfore the Sence must be nedes that it is the memoryall and seale of the testament only And therfore wher Math. and mark say Thys cupp is my bloud of the new testament the sence must nedes be also that it is the memoryall and seale ther of only calling after the vse of the Hebrwes the sygne wyth the name of that which is sygnifyed that is to say Callynge the wyne whiche only sygnyfyeth the bloud with the name of the bloud And then it folowyth that the bread is called hys bodye After the same maner because it is a sygne of hys bodye These and lyke ensamples moue the parte to affyrme that we be not bounde to beleue that the bread is the very body of chryste Though it be so callyd Nor that the bread is transsubstancyat in to the bodi No more then the things here rehersed are that thei be called or transsubstancyat in to the very thyng which they be callyd The other wyll answere though 〈◊〉 memoryal were not the thinges whose names they beare yet it wyll not folow that it shuld be so here in the sacrament for they whych gaue such other names Hadde no power to make the thynges so to be But chryste is very god hathe power to make hys Bodye to be euerye thynge and euery wher I answer that god can not make euery of his creaturs god to nether cā it be proued lesse repugnaunt that a creature shulde be euerye where then that he shulde be God morouer though God where he appeared to Iacob had pytched a stoone on an ende and called it goddes face yet had he not bene anye more bound to beleue that yt had bene the verye Face of God then yf Iacob had don it The allmyghtynes of god standythe not in that he is able to do all the owre ●osyshe lewde thougtes may ymagyne But by cause all power is his and of him and that he doth al he wyll and hath made al of nawght and can brynge all to nawght agayne And cā do al that includeth not cōtrary to the truth ād veryte that god hath put in hys ceatures And by cause he can do things impossible for māor any other Creatur to do or to thynke how they shude be dō therfor he is called the lorde almyghty But because to braule a bowt suche possybylyte or impossibylyte is the luste of Sophysters also the desire of the diuel to quenche the professyon of owre baptysme to wipe ouc the ymage of christ owt of owre hartes And a thynge endeles Therfor I compte it wickednes to wade furth in it And to geue them that seake it an occasyō perpetually to skold The negatyue maye a man holde tyll they can proue the affyrmatyue More ouer yf bread be the verye bodye of christ whether abydyng the verye bodye styll or eles transsubstancyat and enioy the glory of the soule of chryste and also of the godhed It semith impossible to be avoydyd but that Chryst was made man and dyed Also breade whyche semethe to some a great inconuenyence Howbeit that great promocyō of bread also that hyghe powre of prists aboue all angelles I amytte also to avoyd all braulynge But one reson I haue vnto whyche I cleue some what and it is thys All that is betwene god and mā in the scryptur is for mans necessytye and not for anye neade that GOD hath therof and other Spyrytuall profyte can none haue by that FAYTH in the sacrament than to be taught ther by to beleue in Chryste oure Sauyour and to do good to hys neyghbour now is that belefe and loue had as well ād rather beter as it is aboue proued wythout such fayth then wyth it Ergo wher the scrypture compelleth to no suche belefe it is wyckednes to make it a necessary artycle of our faythe And to sley thē that can not think that it ought to be beleued Notwythstandyng all these reasons and the dampnable Idolatrye whych the papistes haue commytted wyth the sacrament yet whether they affyrme the body and bloud to be presēt with the bread and wyne or the bread wyne to be turned and transsubstancyate into the body and bloud I am ther wyth content for vnityes sake yf they wyll there cease let hym be there onely to testyfye confyrme the testament or couenaunt made in chrysts bloud and body for which can se onely Chryst instituted the sacramēt But if they wyl rage farther with their blynd reasons of theyr subtyl sophystry and deuelysh Idolatry and saye Wher Chrystes bloud is ther is hys body and wher hys body is ther is hys soule and where hys soule is ther is the godhead and the trynitye the father the sonne the holy gost and there mē ought to pray and say O Father whych art preset with the sonne Chryste vnder breade wyne or in form of bread and wyne If I say they so raue thē as the old prophete for lyke Idolatry denyeth God to dwel in the temple or to haue pleasur in sacrifyce of bloud of gotes shepe and calues Euen so denye I the body of Chryst to be any more in the sacrament thē God was in the golden calues whych Ieroboham sett vpp to be prayed to the one in bethell ād the other at dan for though god be presente euery wher yet yf heuē of heuens can not compasse hī to make hī a dwelling place as the scryptur testyfieth much lesse the tēple that was at Hierusalem how shuld he haue a dwellynge place in a lytle wafer or crome of breade God dwelleth not in the temple Neyther dyd our fathers whych were of the true fayth in the old Testamente pray to god as present in the temple but the name of god only was in the tēple .iii of the kynges .viij. and hys lawe and couenauntes and wonderfull deades were therein wrytten in sygnes and were there preached and testyfyed continually of the trew prystes and Prophets vnto the people the fathers of the trewe fayth cam thyther Furthermor for the feruēt loue whych they had towardes the lawes and couenauntes of god For the which prophetes Salomon prayed so earnestly vnto the lorde God sayng Heare thou O God in heuen thy dwellyng place and do all that the Straunger calleth to the for that all nacyons of the earth maye knowe the and feare thy
