take those thynges in verite whych at thys tyme we take in fygure He sayeth that these thynges be done in fygure and not in verite That is by a symilitude not by the manifestacyon of the thynge it selfe The fygure and the verite do dyffer betwene them selues Wherfore the body and bloud that be now celebrate in the churche do dyffer frō the body and thy bloude whyche ar now knowē to be glorifyed by the resurrection thys body is the pledge the figure the other is the verye natural body Thys we celebrate vnto such tyme as we may come to the other and after that we shall come to it the sacramētall body shal be remoued nowe we se that thes too bodyes differ asmuche the one frō the other as the pledge doth from the thynge for whych it is left and as the ymage differeth from the thynge wherfore it is the ymage● and as the fygure differeth from the verite thus it is playne that the mysterye of the body bloude of christ whych is receyued of the faythful in the churche differeth frō the sayde body that was borne of marye the virgyn that suffered was buryed that rose agayne ascēded into heauē sytteth on the ryght hande of the father For thys whych is celebrate in the way muste be spiritually vnderstande for fayth beleueth that thynge whych he seeth not that fedeth the soule spiritually maketh glad the harte gyueth euerlastynge lyfe incorruption Whyles no hede is takē to the thyng that fedeth the body that is pressed wyth the teeth that is brokē in pecys but that thynge whych is takē in fayth spiritually but that body in the whych christ suffered rose agayne is hys proper bodye takē of the virgyne marye palpable visyble ye after hys resurrection he sayth to his disciples Why be you troubled why do fantises occupie youre hartes loke vpō my fete and my hande for I am he grope and see for a spryte hath no fleshe nor bones as ye se that I haue Let vs also here what saynte fulgencius sayeth in hys boke of fayth beleue stedfastly doute not but the onelye beggottē sonne of god the worde was made fleshe that he offered hym selfe for vs as a sacrifice to god in the order of swetnes vnto whō wyth the father the holy gost the patriarkes the prophetes the priests of the olde testamēt dyd sacrifice beastes vnto whō wyth the father the holye ghost wyth whō he hath lyke deuynite the holy vnyuersal church through out all the world● seaseth not in fayth charite nowe to offer the sacrafice of breade wyne In thos fleshely sacrifyces was the significaciō of the fleshe of christ whych he offered for our synnes a significacion of the bloude that he shede for the remission of our synnes but in sacrifice of breade wyne is the action of thankes the cōmemoraciō of the fleshe of christ that he offered for vs of the bloude that he shedde for vs Wherof of Saynte Paule speaketh in the actes of the apostles sayenge take hede to you youre vniuersall flocke in the whyche the holye gooste hath made you byshopes to gouerne the church of god that he hath acquyred wyth hys bloude therfore in the former sacr●fyces it was sygnifyed figuratyuely what shoulde be gyuen vs in thys it is euydently shewed what is gyuen vs already for asmuche as he sayeth that in the former sacrifyces it was sygnifyed what shold be geuen vs in thys sacrifice we remēbre what is gyuen vs already He declareth that as the sacrifices of the olde lawe was fygures of the thynge that was it to com● so thys sacryfice is a figure of the thyng which is already past By these wordes he hath moste playnly shewed how muche difference is betwene the body in whych christ suffered the body whych is celebrate in the remēbraunce of hys passiō death for the bodye wherin he suffered is the proper the verye body hauyng no mysterie nor fygure in hym But thys is a mystycall body shewying one thynge externely by a fygure representyng an other thynge internly through the intellec●iō of fayth Yt let vs adde an other testymoney of saynte Austen that shall both affyrme oure wordes fynyshe oure oracion In the sermone that he made to the people touchyng the sacrament of the alter he sayeth thus The thynge whych you se in the alter of god was sene of you the last nyght but what it is or what it meaneth or of how● great a thyne it conteyneth the sacrament ye haue not it hearde The thyng whych you se is bread wyne that your ●●●s do argue but as your fayth requyreth to be instructe the bread is the body of christ the wyne hys bloude it is quyckely sayed that fayth perauenture is sufficient but fayth doughtles neadeth instructiō Esa ●vi sayeth Except ye beleue ye shal not vnderstāde Therfore you maye saye vnto me syr ye haue cōmaunded vs to beleue now expounde to vs howe we may vnderstande suche a cogitaciō maye ryse in some mans mynde Ye knowe that our Lord Iesus toke hys flesshe of the virgyn marye that he beyng an infante dyd socke was noryshed growed to a mans age and brought to persecution of the Iewes suffered vpō a crosse was kylled takē frō the crosse was buryed and rose agayne the thyrde daye and at hys pleasure ascendyd vnto heauen and carryed hys body thether from whence he shall come to iudge the quycke and deade and there is he nowe syttyng of the ryght hande of the father how therfore is the breade hys bodye and the wyne hys bloude thes good brethren be called sacraments bycause that one thynge is sene in thē and an other vnderstande that whych is sene hath a corporall forme that whych is not sene hath a spirituall frute In thes wordes thy worshypfull auctor instructyng vs what we ought to thynke of the proper bodye of the Lord that was borne of marye and sytteth nowe on the ryght hande of the father in the whych he shall come to iudge the quycke the deade Also what we ought to thynke of the body set on the alter wherof the people be partakers the very bodye is hole and not deuyded wyth any sectiō neyther couered wyth any fygures but thys bodye sette on the table of the Lorde is a fygure because it is a sacrament And the externe thynge whyche is sene hath a corporall forme that feadeth the body but the interne thyng whych is vnderstande hath a spirituall fruite that quyckeneth the soule and he wyllynge to speake more playnly and manyfestly of the mysticall bodye sayeth thus yf you wyll vnderstande the body of the Lord heare the Apostell sayenge you be the bodye of christe And the membres Therfore yf ye be the bodye of christe and the membres of christ your mysterye is conteyned in the Lordes souper you take the
mutacion is made other wyse then corporallye also that not to be the thyng which is sene in verite but some other whyche is not perceyued to be thoughe hys power and peculyer benynge or yf they wyll not confesse thys nedes they must denye the body and bloud of christ whych is a wycked thyng to do not in wordes only but also in thought but forasmuch as they do confesse the body and bloude of christe to be there and that it cannot be there but by the reason of mutacion frome a worse thynge to a better it muste folowe that the mutacion be made not corporallye but spirituallye yet and so that we maye saye that it is do spiritually For vnder the veale of corporall bread and wyne is the spirituall bodye and bloud of christ yet is there not the existencie of too dyuers thynges that is to saye of the bodye and the spyrite but one and the same thynge after one sorte is the kynde of breade and wyne after one other sorte the body and bloude of christ for in that both of them are touched they be the kyndes of corporall creatures through the power by the which they at spiritually made they be the mysteries of the body and bloud of Christe Let vs consyder the well of holy baptysme whych is called not wythout a cause the well of lyfe because that is confyrmeth thos that discende into it wyth the mounte of a better lyfe maketh thē lyue to iustice whych ware before dead in synne The element of the water hath not hys power for yf it shuld not opteyne the vertue of sainctificaciō it could not wasshe away the spotte of synne And yf it sholde not cōteyne the vygore of lyfe vtterlye it sholde not be able to gyue lyfe to the deade I meane not my flesshe but ●n soule yet in the fountayne yf we haue respect onelye to the thynge whych our corporall sence comprehendeth we shall fynde nothynge but water subiecte to corruption and that whych hath none other vertue but to wasshe our bod●es Yt after that the vertue of the holy goost hath accesse by the concrea●●on of the baptyser yt is of the efficacy not only to wasshe oure bodyes but also by a spirituall power to wasshe awaye the spiritual fylthe frō our solles Lo in one element we se two thynges the one resystinge the other that is to saye a corruptyble thing to gyue in corruption and a thynge wythout lyfe to contrybute lyfe Therfore knowe that in thys well is one thyng sencyble and therfore mutable and curruptible Also an other thynge that onely fayth beholdeth and therfore incorruptible immortall And yf a mā requyre what that is whych wassheth the body it ●s nothynge but an elemēt but yf a man cōsyder that whych inwardely purgeth that is a lyuely vertue a vertue of sanctification a vertue of immortalyte therfore the lycore in hys propertie is corruptible in the mysterye holsome vertue euē so the bodye the bloude of christ cōsydered outwardely is a creature doughtles subiecte to mutabilite corrupciō but yf a mā pondre the vertue of the mysterye it is lyfe geuynge immortalite to thos that be partakers of it Therfore it is not al one thynge that is sene that is beleued For thos thynges that be sene do onely fede the corruptyble bodye they beynge corruptible them selues But thos thynges whych are not sene do fede the immortall solles they beynge immortall them selues The apostel wrytynge to the Corinthians sayeth know you not that all oure fathers ware vnder a cloude that all passed ouer the see that all they were baptysed in Moyses in the cloude in the see that all they haue eaten the same sprituall meate and that all they haue dronken the same spiritual drinke They dyd drinke of the spirituall stone folowing them the stone also was christ Thus we perceyue that the see had a kynde of baptisme the clowde also that the fathers of the olde Testamēt ware baptized in the cloude in the see Coulde the cloude or the see of thē selues haue the vertue of baptisme or coulde they sanctifye the people Yet dare we not accuse the Apostell of lyenge for that he sayd our fathers ware baptyz●d in the cloud in the see And although the baptysme was a type a fygure of the baptysme of christ that is now vsed in the church Yet no mā that hath hys wytnes wyl say that it also was not baptysme it selfe or that oure fathers ware not baptyzed therin except he wyll varye frome the Apostell as a mad mā Therfore the see clowde not in that they ware creatures bodyes deade toke the clerenes of sanctifycatiō of the holy speryte For in thē was a visyble forme whych appereth playnlye to the corporall sence and wythin a spirituall power which was onely euydent to the eyes of the mynde fayth Lykewyse manna geuen to the people frō heauē the water flowinge out of the rocke ware corporall and corporally they fedde the people gaue thē drinke Yt the Apostel nameth that manna that water spirituall meat spiritual drinke and why verely bycause that there was in thos corporall substāces a spiritual power of the worde whych fedde the myndes rather then the bodyes of the beleuynge people spiritually gaue thē drinke not wythstanding theyr meate and drynke dyd prefygurate the bodye bloude of christe whych the church doth ●●●●●rate Yet saynt Paule affyrmeth that oure fathers dyd eate the same spirituall meate and drinke the same spiritual drinke A mā wyll aske perauenture what he meaneth by this worde the same truly he meaneth that they dyd eate the same spirituall meate whyche the faythfull eateth drinketh now a dayes in the church we may not vnderstande dyuers thynges for christe is was alwayes on And the same christ whych fedde the people that ware thē baptyzed in the deserte in the clowde in the see wyth hys flesshe and his bloude fedeth now the people in the church of hys faythful with the breade of hys bodye the water of hys bloude thys thynge the Apostel dyd playnly declare by that which foloweth sayenge they haue eatē the same spirituall meate dronkē the same spirituall drinke They dyd drinke of the same spirituall stone followyng them the stone was christe So we vnderstande that christ was in the spirituall stone in the deserte And that he gaue the water of hys bloude to the people And afterwarde gaue to vs hys bodye whyche was borne of a virgyn crucifyed for the helthe of the faythfull And not only that we myght be redemyd but also that we myght drynke therof It is a maruelous thynge that Christ all though he was incūprehensyble inestimable And that he had not yt put vpon hym the nature of man had not yet tasted death for the helthe of the worlde nor redemyd vs wyth hys bloud For al that our fathers
