Luk. 4 vnto bread of sorrow vnto vncleane bread of idolatry vnto vncleane bread offered at the Altar vnto the bread of trembling and vnto the bread of teares The Ephraimites also are called the bread of ashes not turned that is to say in part baked part not circuÌ„cised Idolators Wherefore O Massesaiers Capharnaits Math 25. ye must not be so hardened rooted in your fleshlinesse that you regard not the phrases of the holy scriptures in that which the terme of bread is sometime taken for the earthly bodily bread as when it is said that man liueth not by bread only Math. 15. Mark 7. but also by all that proceedeth out of the mouth of God Somtime also bread is taken for the word of God and for doctrine when Iesus Christ commanded his Apostles to take heede for eating of the leauened bread of the Scribes and Pharisees are not these termes of bread and leauen taken and interpreted for the doctrine of the Pharisees heretikes When the woman of Canaan did demand grace and mercie for the health of her daughter holden with a sore disease Did not Iesus Christ answere that it was not lawfull to take the bread of the children and giue it vnto dogges In this answere is not the bread taken for life and health and not onely for the corporall nourishment Seeing then that bread is taken for the life of man the which hangeth chiefly of bread and wine and that the goodnes of God willing to applie it selfe vnto our infirmities would chuse those two signes notes and markes notable to signifie his body and bloud namely bread and wine being two substances common to all nations is that an occasion to imagine a carnall transubstantiation as if without the same God were not able inough to figure and represent really and sacramentally life to be giuen vnto vs yea euerlasting life by the communion of the holy bread and wine consecrated figures and signes of his body and bloud Matth. 6.

Matth. 26. Iohn 6. Hoc est corpus meum He saith also Hic est panis qui de coelo descendit In both these places is there not this word is bestowed Must we therefore bring in a witchcraft of traÌ„substantiatioÌ„ in place of sound interpreting of the scriptures by a likenes or familiar comparison of breade with Iesus Christ causing vs to vnderstand that by him life euerlasting is giuen vnto vs And by him our spirituall nourishment is giuen vs like as by the bread we haue our bodily foode How so euer it be we must alwaies haue recourse vnto the true interpretation of Iesus Christ the true Lawgiuer and author of the holy sacrament who putting forth his institution said in the first place that he was the bread of life then after that this bread is his flesh and his body which must be giuen for the health of the world He said that his flesh is true food and his bloud the true drinke he saith that hee that eateth his flesh and drinketh his bloud shall abide in him How doth he interpret this eating Iesus Christ doth interpret it himselfe by these words Iohn 6 He that commeth vnto mee stall neuer hunger hee that beleeueth in me shall neuer thirst Is not this the true eating and the true drinking neuer to haue hunger and neuer to haue thirst Behoueth it to get faith which consisteth in spirit behoueth it to addresse ourselues vnto Iesus Christ our heaueÌ„ly bread our spirituall drinke to fill vs for euer to quench euerlastingly our thirst of sinne to runne into a witchcraft of transubstantiation and to forge an accidence without a substance Wherefore O Massalians haue yee inuented another interpretation then that of Iesus Christ who witnesseth that the flesh profiteth nothing but the spirit quickneth and that his words are not carnall but spirituall giuing spirit and life by faith and hope that he is the sauiour of the world incarnat dead and crucified to giue vs eternall life and after rose againe ascended into heauen and sitteth on the right hand of God his Father abiding an euerlasting Priest propiciator mediator and redeemer Let vs returne againe to this terme is which tormenteth the braines of the Masse sayers so sore Iohn 15. to imagine a transubstantiation If Iesus Christ hath said that he is the true vine that God his Father is a husbandman â—ohn 14 and we are the branches Is this to bring in this terme is a witchcraft of changing God into a Husbandman Iesus Christ into a vine and vs into vine branches If Iesus Christ is said to be the vnspotted lambe that blotteth out the sins of the world is this to bring in a transubstantiation If Iesus Christ hath said that he is the doore of the sheepe-folde by the which we must enter to saluation and that hee is the Shepheard and we the

Iesus Christ we are spoyled from the olde corrupt skinne and clad with his body of the selfe same also we haue our nourishment and euerlasting life By the bloud of Iesus Christ we haue accesse into the kingdome of heauen And by the same bloud we haue the fruition of the kingdome for vnto the same purpose the holy Apostle witnesseth wee are all baptised by the vertue of one holy spirit and we haue all drunke of one spirituall drinke giuen vnto vs by Iesus Christ Be not these comparisons taken out of the holy scripture to iustifie that Iesus Christ is the onely end vnto the which tendeth as well Baptisme as the holy Supper It followeth then that the signes of the sacramentall water for baptisme and bread and wine for the supper of Iesus Christ are holy signes ernest gages paunes markes seales and sacraments instituted of God for proofe and assurance of our saith Well then O Massalians seeing yee haue inuented a witchcraft of transubstanttiaion for the sacrament of the Supper Against the Massalians why haue yee not also subtelly deuised the same witchcraft in the sacrameÌ„t of baptisme why haue yee not ordeyned the sacramental water after that it is by you coniured and bewitched with salt to driue away Diuels to be changed into the bloud of Iesus Christ the water to bee no more water but accidence without substance as yee haue imagined of the bread and wine What difference can you shew but Sophistries Sophismes and Masse subtelties If yee continue your heresie by this word is it is also found in the water of Baptisme which is called renuing and regeneration the same is also named the holy Ghost and the garment with which by which we are clothed renued and borne again in the bloud of Iesus Christ Then seeing O Massalians that you confesse that yee cannot finde a second Berengarie to make a decree of recantation to the end to enlarge your witchcraft of transubstantiation vnto the holy water of Baptisme and by the same meane to change your spettell and salt water your oyle your creames your salt water other drugs wherwith you haue corrupted the holy sacrament of Baptisme Wherefore then are yee so hardened and waxt old in your Pompilian Religion that you would plucke Iesus Christ from the right hand of God to make him to descende in body and bloud by your whispering witchcraft Luk. 1. Malach. 4. A comparison of the Sunne with Iesus Christ as Iupiter Elicius did before the day appointed of his second comming I can bring you in the similitude of the Sunne called by some Apostles the Sun of Righteousnesse Iesus Christ because that light commeth from heauen by the great and bright starre â—he which S. â—ustine the Martyr vsed in â—is treatise of â—he exposition of faith cap. 2. And euen so the spirituall light is giuen vnto vs by Iesus Christ who hath restored vs to light out of the night and darknesse of sinne Well then O yee Capharnaites carnall and grosse vnderstand now a comparison sufficient inough to shewe you the infinite power of God to bee much more perfect then your abhominable inuention of transubstantiation Do yee not acknowledge if you haue not your eyes blinded and holden in depth of the darknesse of frowardnesse that the Sunne doth giue vnto vs his light his beames his force his heat streÌ„gth And yet the body it selfe of the Sunne doth rest and abide in heauen Do not ye say ordinarily in your common language when the windowe of the house towardes the sunne is open that the sunne commeth into the house Yet the sunne remaineth alwaies in heauen Behoueth it to snatch and catch the body of the sunne causing it to come downe and to transubstantiate in this earthly place before it can giue his heate his beames his light and nourishment to plants hearbes trees and earthly creatures Are yee so brutish O Capharnaites that yee will not confesse the true sonne of righteousnes Iesus Christ to haue much more power then this starre of the sunne create and mortall If then the mortall creature haue this power to giue vs the vertue and strength of his body by his beames by his light and by his heate sent downe into the earth really and effectuously the body notwithstanding abiding in heauen It behoueth to beleeue that God the euerlasting creator hath much more power to giue vs the true sonne of rightuousnesse Iesus Christ to giue vs his force vertue of his body and bloud shed for vs by the beames light and heate of his holy spirit without coÌ„straining him by your witchcraft to be plucked from the right hand of God to be drawen out of heauen by your transubstantiatioÌ„ into earth Wherefore hath not Iesus Christ this power to giue vs his light and to offer to vs his body his bloud to enter within vs if by faith and pure conscience we will receiue him by the vertue of his holy spirit euen as well better then the sonne entreth into our houses by his might and power without drawing it out of heauen to change the substance thereof The sonne is one onely body created abiding in heauen the cause of the growing of plants trees hearbes which giueth nourishment by force and heate vnto all things liuing vpon the earth and in one and the same moment hath power to quicken heate nourish an infinite number of plants trees hearbes and earthly creatures without seperating diuiding or plucking his body from heauen to transubstaÌ„tiate it The body also of Iesus Christ which he hath caried into heauen and set at the right hand of God hath it not more force more vertue and more strength to regenerate vs to feed and nourish vs to giue his vertue his light and his beames to inspire quickeÌ„ sustaine lighten and in a moment make vs through faith partakers of his body and bloud to make vs members of his members knit together in him and by him by his true promise conteined vnder the bages and holy signes left vnto vs till that the second comming of his humanitie bee seene vpon the earth Wherefore O Massesayers haue ye inuented this witchcraft of transubstantiation to blaspheme against God to lesson his power and lesse to esteeme his power and vertue then the vertue of the sunne his creature wherefore will yee pluck the body of Iesus Christ from heauen before the time appointed to change his substance into your little round hosts Iesus Christ as God aideth all vnleauened and printed full of pictures which you cause to bee worshipped seeing that Christ as God doth aide his church euerlastingly and hath power to regenerate feed and nourish vs yea with euerlasting life food by his promise witnessed and assured by his holy sacraments of Baptisme and of his holy supper For other comparisons O Massesayers familiar homely consider how the earthly and mortall princes are esteemed reuerenced and honoured for the sacred signes
