with Images into an accident without a substance In what place of the Holy Scriptures when mention is made of sacred Signs and Sacraments or Sacrifices Ordained by God is it said that the Sign or Sacrament was transubstantiated But on the contrary Gods will accommodating it self to mans Infirmity he ordained from time to time common signs for notes and marks of assurance of the thing signified wherein Gods power is the more renowned and exalted in really giving us what by the sacred sign is represented by the virtue of Faith and of the Holy Ghost as if the Sign it self had been really transubstantiated by some ocular Miracle For the Sacraments comprehend in them more spiritual than carnal sense For this reason God by his Prophets ever blamed his People Israel for understanding the Sacraments too carnally But tell me ye Papists when Jesus Christ made it known how he was the true Bread of Life descended from Heaven to conferre Life Eternal and how these sacramental words of eating his Flesh and drinking his Blood were to be understood wherewith the Capernaites your Predecessors were offended did he teach us in this Interpretation that to eat his Flesh should be meant by a little round transubstantiated Host That the round Host of Flower and the Wine is no more Bread or Wine but Accidents without Substance Is this your abominable Magick the Doctrine of Jesus Christ Nothing less But Jesus Christ like a true and heavenly Law-giver who can only sincerely interpret his own Law made answer to the Capernaite Doctors how they were gross and carnal minded minding only the Flesh as you Papists doe though the Flesh alone profits nothing alleadging how his sacramental words were spiritual The Flesh saith he profits not but the Spirit quickens As also O Papists how can you religiously accord your Transubstantiation with the Doctrine of Jesus Christ which promiseth and assureth Eternal Life to those that shall eat his Flesh and drink his Blood if you conceive these words carnally For you cannot be ignorant but that your own Bodies when they have devoured these round transubstantiated Hosts into Flesh and Bones drunk and taken down the transubstantiated Wine into Blood notwitstanding live and are mortal through the necessity of the Law Wherefore Eternal Life promised by this Communion cannot be understood by a mortal Body or Flesh And therefore of necessity you must needs acknowledge for the most sacred Interpretation that to eat the Body and drink the Blood of Jesus Christ must have reference to a spiritual and heavenly Life and that the flesh profits nothing but the spiritual words and the Communion of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ by Faith and Spirit give Eternal Life This Interpretation is many times recited by the holy Apostle St. John when Jesus Christ himself useth these words He that comes to me shall never hunger he that helieves in me shall never thirst but haave Eternal Life are not these terms intelligible enough to express this holy Sacrament of the Communion of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ without running to your Magick of Transubstantiation Another Interpretation of the holy Doctor and Author of the Sacramental Law is described when Jesus Christ was interrogated by Nchodemus of the Means how a man might be Regenerated and born anew Is it possible saith Nichodemus that a man can return again into his Mothers Womb Did Jesus Christ answer this demand by affirming that in the holy Sacrament of Baptism the water was converted into the body into Flesh and Blood and transubstantiated in a carnal womb to be there again ingendered and regenerate Was there not also as great reason according to your Magick to have returned this answer as well as in the holy Sacrament of the Supper For the one of these Sacraments signifies Regeneration the other Nourishment Now Regeneration is as admirable to humane Wisdom as Nourishment for conformable to humane and carnal Judgment it may seem impossible that we can be twice engendered and begotten But our good God useth the like Interpretation of Regeneration as of the Communion of his Flesh and Blood which is that these Sacramental terms must be spiritually conceived and not carnally for the Flesh profits not but the Spirit quickens What is of the Flesh is carnal what is of the Spirit spiritual The holy Apostle relating to the Corinthians what he had received at Gods hands admonished them of the coming of Jesus Christ during the expectation whereof he commands them to communicate of the body and blood of Jesus Christ by the fraction of bread and the Cup of Benediction called the New Testament and New Covenant contracted by the blood of Jesus Christ Wherefore seeing we are assured of the second coming of Jesus Christ being ascended up into Heaven and set at the right hand of God the Father till the day predestinated that he shall return to judge the quick and the dead How O ye Papists will ye reconcile this passage when by the Magick you utter you make him descend and return the body of Jesus Christ in flesh and bone before the time preordained for his second coming This Magick was by you restored since the first Author of your Missal Sacrifice Numa Pompilius who by his Magick divulged that he made his Nymph and Goddess Egeria come down from Heaven as also his Jupiter Elicius by whose means there were celestial secrets and Mysteries revealed to him If by your Magick the round consecrated Host was transubstantiated into the true and real body of Jesus Christ the bread being no more bread but the true body how came ye to be so presumptuous to break and tear in pieces the body of Jesus Christ according to the invention of Sergius the 2d of that Name your Predecessor Roman Pontife Are not you far more execrable Executioners than your Predecessors Lieutenants of the Roman Church which crucified Jesus Christ and yet they never tare nor rent his body in pieces as he Prophesied And notwithstanding you are not contented to have broken it into three pieces but in your Missal Sacrifices you presume to drown and steep one portion in Wine transubstantiated into blood to be swallowed and drunk To confirm your Magick of Transubstantiation why took you no order to preserve from corruption your little round printed Hosts which you keep and lay up so curiously in reliquaries and boxes after they are transubstaniated into flesh and bone and into the real body of Jesus Christ Is it not an abominable heresie to believe that the body of Christ is capable of corruption Nay and often times is eaten by Worms Weasels Rats and Mice Can you interpret this to be an accident without substance When your Hosts become many times stinking and corrupted Cibaries many times also devoured by bruit beasts of the Earth which you cause to be burned and their Ashes laid up in Reliquaries When Victor the 3d of that Name Pope of Rome received Poyson by your
