engraffed and by the same blood we are entertained and preserued from hungring or thirsting for euer By the blood of Iesus Christ wee cast off our old corrupt skin and put on his body from which likewise wee receiue nourishment and eternall life By the blood of Iesus Christ we haue accesse and entry into the Kingdome of Heauen And by the same blood we haue fruition of the same kingdome In this sense the holy Apostle testifieth that wee were all baptized by the vertue of the holy Spirit and we are likewise drunke of the same spirituall drinke giuen vnto vs by Iesus Christ Be not these comparisons drawne out of the holy Scriptures to witnesse that Iesus Christ is the onely aime and scope whereto we must tend both in Baptisme and the holy Supper If therefore that the signes of sacramentall water in Baptisme and of Bread and Wine in the Supper of Iesus Christ are sacred Signes Earnests Gages Hostages Symboles Seales and Sacraments instituted by God for an assurance and approbation of our faith Wherefore O Missalians seeing you haue inuented a Magicke of transubstantiation for the Sacrament of the Supper why did you not likewise with the same Magicke sophisticate the Sacrament of Baptisme Why haue you not constituted that sacramentall water after it is by you exorcis'd and coniur'd with salt to repell diuels to be transubstantiated into the blood of Iesus Christ the water being no more water but an accident without substance as you haue forged by the Bread and Wine What difference doe you assigne but Sophistries Sophismes and Missalian subtilties If you perseuere in your heresie by reason of this word est this word is also vsed in the water of Baptisme which is termed renouation and regeneration it is named the holy Spirit and the Vestment by and with which wee are reuested renued and regenerated in the blood of Iesus Christ Seeing therefore you acknowledge O Missalians that you could neuer yet meet with a second Berengarius to institute another Decree of a Palinody for the extending of your Magicall transubstantiation to the sacred water of Baptisme and by the same meanes likewise to transubstantiate your lustrall Plegme Spittle your Oyle your Creames your Salt other Drugges wherewith you haue corrupted the holy Sacrament of Baptisme why are you so inueterate and obdurate in your Pompilian Religion as to hale Iesus Christ from the right hand of his Father to make him in body and blood to descend by your muttered Magick like another Iupiter Elicius before the day preordained for his second comming I may well propound vnto you the similitude of the Sunne called by some Apostles the Sunne of Righteousnes Iesus Christ because light comes from Heauen by this luminous and glorious sphericall Planet and so spirituall light is exhibited to vs by Iesus Christ who out of the night and darknesse of sinne hath brought vs into the brightnesse and cleare sun-shine of his grace You may now therefore vnderstand carnall grosse Capernaites this sufficient and euident comparison to intimate that the infinite power of God is much more compleat and perfect then your abominable inuention of Transubstantiation Will you not acknowledge except your eyes be blinded and obfu●cated with the palpable darknes of obstinacie that the Sunne giues vs his light his force his heat and vigour and yet neuerthelesse the body it self of the planetall Sunne remaines and continues in his sphericall Orbe Doe you not vse to say ordinarily in common language when the window of an house is open on that part where the Sunne shines that the Sunne is come into the house although the Sunne remaines still in the Firmament Must wee therefore violently hale and pull the body of the Sun to make it descend and bee transubstantiated into this earthly substance before it can affoord its heat beames light and nourishment to Plants Trees Herbes and Beasts of the earth Are you so brutish O Capernaits as not to recognize that the true Sunne of Righteousnes Iesus Christ hath more power then this Astrall Sunne being but mortall and created If then a mortall creature hath this power to infuse into vs the vertue and efficacie of his body by his beames light and heate extended really and effectually ouer the whole earth the body remaining still in its heauen and shall wee not beleeue that God an immortall Creator hath much more power to grant vs the true Sunne of Righteousnesse Iesus Christ to giue vs the vertue and power of his body and bloodshed for vs by the beames light and heate of his holy Spirit except hee be by your Magicke pluckt from the right hand of God and his body drawne out of heauen to be transubstantiated vpon earth Why should not Iesus Christ haue this power to affoord vs his light and to offer his body and blood to enter into vs if by faith and a pure conscience wee be ready to receiue him by the efficacy of his holy Spirit as well and better then the sphericall Sunne can enter into our houses with his force and power and neuer be drawne out of his heauen to bee transubstantiated The Sunne is an entire body created residing in heauen the cause of the generation of Plants Trees and Herbes which by his force and calidity giues sustentation to whatsoeuer liues vpon the earth and in one and the same moment hath power to quicken heat and nourish an infinit number of Plants Trees Herbes and beasts of the earth and yet his body is neuer separated diuided drawne out of his spheare nor transubstantiated The body also of Iesus Christ which he assumed vp into heauen set at the right hand of God hath not that more force more vertue more power to regenerate nourish and sustaine vs to giue vs his vertue light and beames to inspire quicken illuminate and nourish vs and in a moment to make vs all by faith partakers of his body and bloud to make vs members of his members vnited in and by him through his true promise comprehended vnder the symboles sacred signes commended vnto vs till the second cōming of his humanity be reuealed vpon earth Wherefore then O Missalians haue you deuised this Magicke of transubstantiation to blaspheme against God to impaire his omnipotency and disable his vertue more then you do that of the sphericall Sun but his creature Why should you hale the body of Iesus Christ out of heauen before the preordained time to transubstantiate it into your little round azimall hosts printed with image●y which you cause to bee ador●d seeing Christ as God there assists his Church perpetually and hath the power to regenerate feed and sustaine vs yea with an eternall life and nourishment by his most assured promise testified by the holy Sacraments of Baptisme and the sacred Supper For other more familiar and domesticall comparisons consider O Missalians how earthly and mo●tall Princes are reputed
