is my body broken for your sinnes Drinke this is my blood shedde for your sinnes That God the eternall Father embracing you Christ calleth and cleppeth you most louingly making himselfe one with you and you one with him and one with another amongst your selues You ought no lesse to bee certaine now that God loueth you pardoneth your sins and that Christ is all yours then if you did heare an Angell out of heauen speaking so vnto you And therefore reioyce and bee glad and make this Supper Eutharichiam a thankesgiuing as the Fathers named it Be no lesse certaine that Christ and you now are all one then you are certaine the bread and wine is one with your nature and substance after you haue eaten and drunke it Howbeit in this it differeth that you by faith are as it were changed into Christ and not Christ into you as the bread is for by faith he dwelleth in vs and we in him God giue vs faith in the vse of this Sacrament to receiue Christ as hee giueth vs handes to receiue the element simbole and visible Sacrament God grant vs not to prepare our téeth and belly as Saint Augustine saith but rather of his mercie hee prepare and giue vs true and liuely faith to vse this and all other his ordinances to his glory and our comforts He sweepe the houses of our hearts and make them cleane that they may bée a worthy harborough and lodging for the Lord. Amen Now let vs come and looke on the third and last thing namely wherfore the Lord did institute this Sacrament Our nature is very obliuious of GOD and of all his benefits And againe it is very full of dubitation and doubting of GODS loue and of his kindnesse Therefore to the ende these two things might bee something reformed and holpen in vs the Lorde hath instituted this Sacrament I meane that wee might haue in memorie the principall benefite of all benefits that is Christes death and that wee might bee on all parts assured of Communion with Christ of all kindenesse the greatest that euer God did giue vnto man The former to bée the ende wherefore Christ did institute this Sacrament hee himselfe doeth teach vs saying Doe yee this in remembrance of me The latter the Apostle doeth no lesse set foorth in saying The bread which we breake is it not the partaking or Cōmunion of the body of Christ Is not the Cuppe of blessing which wee blesse the partaking or Communion of the blood of Christ So that it appeareth the ende wherefore this Sacrament was instituted was and is for the reformation and help of our obliuion of that which we should neuer forget and of our dubitation of that whereof we ought to bee most certaine Concerning the former namely of the memorie of Christs death what commoditie it bringeth with it I will purpesely for times sake omit Onely a little will I speake of the commodities comming vnto vs by the partaking and Communion wée haue with Christ First it teacheth vs that no mā can communicate with Christ but the same must néedes communicate with Gods grace fauour where through sinnes are forgiuen Therefore this commoditie commeth herethrough namely that we should be certaine of the remission and pardon of our sinnes The which thing we may also perceiue by the Cup in that it is called the Cup of the newe Testament to which Testament is properly attributed on God behalfe obliuion or remission of our sinnes First I say therfore the Supper is instituted to this end that he which worthily receiueth should bee certaine of the remission and pardon of his sinnes and iniquities how many and great soeuer they be Howe great a benefite this is onely they knowe which haue felt the burthē of sinne which of al heauy things is the most heauy Againe no man can communicate with Christes body and blood but the same must communicate with his spirit for Christs body is no dead carcase Now he that cōmunicateth with Christs Spirite communicateth as with holines righteousnesse innocencie and immortalitie and with all the merites of Christes body so doeth hee with GOD and all his glorie and with the Church and all the good that euer it or any member of it had hath or shall haue This is The Communion of Saints which we beleeue in our Creede which hath wayting on it Remission of sinnes Resurrection of the flesh and life euerlasting To the ende that we should be most assured and certaine of all these Christ our Sauiour did institute this his Supper and therefore would haue vs to vse it So that there is no man I trowe which seeeth not great cause of giuing thankes to God for this holy Sacrament of the Lord whereby if wée worthily receiue it wée ought to bée certaine that all our sinnes whatsoeuer they bée are pardoned clearely that wée are regenerate and borne againe into a liuely hope into an inheritance immortall vndefiled and which can neuer wither away that wee are in the fellowship of GOD the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost that wée are Gods Temples at one with God God at one with vs that wée are members of Christes Church and fellowes with the Saintes in all felicitie that wee are certaine of immortalitie in soule and body and so of eternall life then which thing what can bée more demaunded Christ is ours and we are Christes he dwelleth in vs and wée in him Oh happy eyes that sée these things and most happy heartes that feele them My deare brethren let vs pray vnto the Lord to open our eyes to sée these wonderfull things to giue vs faith to féele them Surely we ought no lesse to bee assured of them nowe in the worthy receiuing of this Sacrament then wée are assured of the exteriour symboles and Sacraments If an Angell from Heauen should come and tell you these things then would you reioyce and bée glad And my deare hearts in the Lorde I euen nowe though most vnworthy am sent of the Lorde to tell you no lesse but that you worthily receiuing this Sacrament shall receiue remission of all your sinnes or rather certainetie that they are remitted and that you are euen now Gods darlings Temples and fellow inheritours of all the good that euer he hath Wherefore sée that you giue thanks vnto the Lord for this his great goodnesse and prayse his Name for euer Oh sayth one I could be glad in very déed and giue thanks from my very heart if that I did worthily receiue this Sacramēt But alas I am a very grieuous sinner and I feele in my selfe very little repentance and faith and therefore I am afraid that I am vnworthy To the answering of this obiection I thinke it necessarie to speake some thing of the woorthy receiuing of this Sacrament in as great breuitie playnnesse as I can The Apostle willeth all men to prooue and examine themselues before they eate of the bread and drinke

And I do humbly beseech thy Maiestie O glorious Lord Iesus which didst come to blesse Israel turning euery one of them from their sinnes to worke nowe by thy Spirit in our hearts the same sound repentance which thy Holinesse did preach to men when thou saydest Repent for the Kingdome of God is at hand This work in vs O gracious God our Sauior Amen And now Reader I leaue thee to the reading and practising of that repentance which Bradford here teacheth FINIS To the Christian Reader Iohn Bradford wisheth the true knowledge and peace of Iesus Christ our alone and sufficient Sauiour GReat and heauy is Gods anger against vs as the most grieuous plague of the death of our late King a Prince of all that euer was sithen Christs assension into heauen in any Region peerelesse now fallen vpon vs doeth prognosticate For when Gods iudgement hath begunne with his Childe this our deare darling let other men thinke as they can I surely cannot bee perswaded otherwise but that a grieuous and bitter cuppe of Gods vengeance is ready to bee powred out for vs English men to drinke of The whelpe God hath beaten to fray the bandogge Iudgement is begunne at Gods house In Gods mercie to him-wards he is taken away that his eyes should not see the miseries which we shall feele He was too good to tary with vs so wicked so froward so peruers so obstinate so malicious so hipocritical so couetous vnclean vntrue proud and carnall a generation I will not goe about to paynt vs out in our colours All the world which neuer sawe England by hearesay seeth England God by his plagues and vengeance I feare me will paynt vs out point vs out ▪ We haue so mocked with him and his Gospell that we shall feele it is no bourding with him Of long time we haue couered our couetousnesse and carnality vnder the cloake of his Gospell so that all men shall see vs to our shame when he shall take his Gospell away and giue it to a people that will bring foorth the fruites of it then shall we appeare as we be To let his Gospell tarry with vs he cannot for we despise it contemne it are glutted with it We disdaine his Manna it is but a vile meate thinke we We would be agayne in Egypt and sit by the greasie fleshpottes to eate agayne our garlike onyons and leekes Sithens Gods Gospell came amongst vs we say nowe we had neuer plentie therefore againe let vs goe and worship the Queene of heauen Children beginne to gather stickes the fathers kindle the fire and the women make the cakes to offer to the Queene of heauen and to prouoke the Lord to anger The earth can not abide nowe the words and Sermons of Amos.

whom he loueth he loueth to the end So that now where aboundance of sinne hath beene in thee the more is the aboundance of grace But to what end Forsooth that as sinne hath raigned to death as thou séeest to the killing of Gods Sonne so now Grace must raigne to Life to the honouring of Gods Sonne who is now aliue and can not die any more So that they which by faith féele this cannot any more die to God but to sinne whereto they are dead and buried with Christ As Christ therefore liueth so doe they and that to God to righteousnesse and holinesse The life which they liue is In fide Filii Dei In the faith of the Sonne of God Whereby you sée that now I am slipt into that which I made the third part of penance namely newnesse of life which I could not so haue done if that it were a part of it selfe indéed as it is an effect or fruit of the second part that is of faith or trust in Gods mercie For he that beléeueth that is is certainely perswaded sinne to be such a thing that it is the cause of all miserie and of it selfe so greatly angereth God that in heauen nor in earth nothing could appease his wrath saue alonely the death and precious bloodshedding of the Sonne of GOD in whom is all the delight and pleasure of the Father hee I say that is perswaded thus of sinne the same cannot but in heart abhorre and quake to doe or say yea to thinke any thing willingly which Gods Law teacheth him to bee sinne Againe hee that beléeueth that is is certainely perswaded Gods loue to bée so much towards him that where through sinne he was lost and made a firebrand of hell the eternall father of mercy which is the omni-sufficient God néedeth nothing to vs or of any thing that we can doe to deliuer vs out of hell and to bring vs into heauen did send euen his owne most déere Sonne out of his bosome out of heauen into hell as a man would say to bring vs as I said from thence into his owne bosome and mercie wee béeing his very enemies hee I say that is thus perswaded of Gods loue towards him and of the price of his redemption by the deare bloud of the Lambe immaculate Iesus Christ the same man cannot but loue God againe and of loue doe that and heartily desire to doe better the which might please God Trow you that such a one knowing this geare by faith will willingly welter and wallow in his wilfull lusts pleasures and fantasies Will such a one as knoweth by faith Christ Iesus to haue giuen his bloud to wash him from his sinnes play the Sow to welter in his puddle of filthie sinne and vice againe Nay rather then he will be defiled againe by wilful sinning he will wash often the féet of his affections watching ouer the vice still sticking in him which as a spring continually sendeth out poyson enough to drowne and defile him if the swéete water of Christes passion in Gods sight did not wash it and his bloud satisfie the rigour of Gods iustice due for the same This bloud of Christ shed for our sinnes is so deare in the sight of him that beléeueth that he will abhorre in his heart to stampe it and tread it vnder his féete He knoweth now by his beléefe that it is too much that hitherto he hath set too little by it and is ashamed thereof Therefore for the residue of his life hée purposeth to take better héed to himselfe then before hee did Because hée séeeth by his faith the grieuousnesse of GODS anger the foulenesse of sinne the greatnesse of Gods mercie and of Christs loue towards him hée will now bee héedie to pray to GOD to giue him his grace accordingly that as with his eyes tongue hands féet c. hée hath displeased God doing his owne will euen so now with the same eyes tongue eares hands féete c. hee may displease his owne selfe and doe Gods will Willingly will he not doe that which might renew the death of the Sonne of God Hée knoweth he hath too much sinne vnwillingly in him so that thereto hee will not adde willing offences This willing and witting offending and sinning whosoeuer doth flatter himselfe therein doth euidently demonstrate and shew that hee neuer yet indéed tasted of Christ truely Hee was neuer truely perswaded or beléeued how foule a thing sinne is how grieuous a thing Gods anger is how ioyfull and precious a thing Gods mercie in Christ is how excéeding broad wide hie and déepe Christs loue is Perchance he can write prate talke and preach of this geare but yet he in part by faith neuer felt this geare For if hee did once féele this geare indéed then would he bée so farre from continuing in sinne willingly and wittingly that wholy and heartily hee would giue ouer himselfe to that which is contrary I meane anew to life renewing his youth euen as the Eagle doth For as we béeing in the seruitude of sin demonstrate our seruice by giuing ouer our members to the obeying of sinne from iniquitie to iniquitie euen so we béeing made frée from sinne by faith in Iesus Christ and endued with Gods spirit a spirit of libertie must néeds demonstrate this fréedome and libertie by giuing ouer our members to the obedience of the spirit by the which we are lead and guided from vertue to vertue and all kind of holines As the vnbeléeuers declare their vnbeléefe by the woorking of the euill spirit in them outwardly the fruits of the flesh euen so the beléeuers declare their faith by the working of Gods good spirit in them outwardly the fruits of the spirit For as the Deuill is not dead in those which are his but worketh still to their damnation so is not God dead in them which bee his but worketh still to their saluation The which working is not the cause of the one or the other béeing in any but onely a demonstration a signe a fruit of the same As the Apple is not the cause of the Apple tree but a fruit of it Thus then you sée briefly that newnes of life is not in déed a part of penance but a fruit of it a demonstration of the iustifying faith a signe of Gods good spirit possessing the heart of the penitent as the old life is a fruite of impenitencie a demonstration of a lip-faith or vnbeliefe a signe of Sathans spirit possessing the heart of the impenitent which all those be that bee not penitent For meane I know none He that is not penitent the same is impenitent hee that is not gouerned by Gods spirit the same is gouerned by Sathans spirit For all that bée Christians are gouerned with the spirit of Christ which spirit hath his fruits All other that bee not Christs are the Deuils Hee that gathereth not with Christ scattereth abroad Therefore dearely beloued I beséech you to consider this geare

and deceyue not your selues If you bee not Christs then pertayne you to the Deuill of which thing the fruits of the flesh doth assure you as whoredome adulterie vncleannesse wantonnesse Idolatry witchcraft enuy strife contention wrath sedition murther drunkennesse gluttony blasphemy slothfulnesse idlenesse bawdy talking slaundering c. If these Apples grow out of the Apple trées of your hearts surely surely the Deuill is at Inne with you you are his birds whom when he hath well fed he wil broache you and eate you chaw you and champe you world without end in eternall woe and miserie But I am otherwise perswaded of you all I trust you bee all Christ Iesus his people and children yea brethren and by faith As ye see your sinnes in Gods Law and tremble sigh sorrow and sob for the same euen so you sée his great mercies in his Gospell and frée promises and therefore are glad merrie and ioyfull for that you are accepted into Gods fauour haue your sins pardoned and are endued with the good spirit of God euen the seale and signe Manuel of your election in Christ before the beginning of the world The which spirit for that he is the spirit of life giuen to you to worke in you with you and by you héere in this life satisfaction and holinesse whereunto you are called that yée might be holy euen as your heauenly Father is holy I beséech you all by admonition and warning of you that you would stirre vp the gifts of God giuen to you generally and particularly to the edifying of his Church that is I pray you that you would not molest the good spirit of God by rebelling against it when it prouoketh and calleth you to goe on forwards that the which is holy might yet be more holy hee which is righteous might bee more righteous as the euill spirit moueth and stirreth vp the filthy to be yet more filthy the couetous to be more couetous the wicked to be more wicked Declare you now your repentance by works of repentance Bring forth fruits and worthy fruits Let your sorrowing for your euils demonstrate it selfe departing from the euils you haue vsed Let your certaintie of pardon of your sinnes through Christ and your ioy in him bee demonstrated by pursuing of the good things which Gods word teacheth you You are now in Christ Iesus Gods workmanship to doe good works which God hath prepared for you to walke in For the grace of God that bringeth saluation vnto all men hath appeared and teacheth vs that wee should deny vngodlinesse and worldly lusts and that we should liue soberly righteously and godly in this present world looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God and of our Sauiour Iesus Christ which gaue himselfe for vs to redéeme vs from al vnrighteousnesse and to purge vs a peculiar people vnto himselfe feruently giuen vnto good works Againe Titus 3. For we ourselues also were in times past vnwise disobedient deceiued seruing lusts and diuers pleasures liuing in maliciousnesse and enuy full of hate and hating one another But after that the kindnesse and loue of God our Sauiour to manward appeared not by the déeds of righteousnesse which wee wrought but of his mercie he saued vs by the fountaine of the new birth and with the renewing of the holy Ghost which he shedde on vs aboundantly through Iesus Christ our sauiour y t wee once iustified by his grace should be heires of eternall life through hope This is a true saying But I will make an end for I am too tedious Dearely beloued repent your sinnes that is be sorie for that which is past beléeue in Gods mercie for pardon how déepely soeuer you haue sinned and both purpose and earnestly peruse a new life bringing forth worthy and true fruits of repentance As you haue giuen ouer your members from sinne to sinne to serue the Deuill your tongues to sweare to lie to flatter to scold to iest to scoffe to baudie talke to vaine iangling to boasting c. Your hands to picking groping idlenesse fighting c. Your féete to skipping going to euill to dancing c. Your eares to heare fables lyes vanities and euill things c. So now giue ouer your members to godlinesse your tongues to speake your eares to heare your eyes to sée your mouthes to taste your hands to worke your féete to go about such things as may make to Gods glory sobrietie of life and loue to your brethren and that dayly more and more diligently for in a stay to stand you cannot eyther better or worse you are to day then you were yesterday But better I trust you bee and will be if you marke well my Theame that is Repent you The which thing that you would doe as before I haue humbly besought you euen so now yet once more I doe againe beseech you and that for the mercies of God in Christ Iesus our Lord Repent you repent you for the kingdome of heauen that is a kingdome full of all riches pleasures mirth beautie swéetnesse and eternall felicitie is at hand The eye hath not séene the like the eare hath not heard the like the heart of man cannot conceyue the treasures and pleasures of this kingdome which now is at hand to such as repent that is to such as are sorie for their sinnes beléeue Gods mercie through Christ and earnestly purpose to leade a new life The God of mercie through Christ his Sonne graunt vs his holy spirit and woorke in our hearts this sorrow faith and new life which through his grace I haue spoken of both now and for euer Amen An other Sermon made also by the said master Iohn Bradford vpon the Lords Supper THere are two Sacraments in Christes Church the one of imitation that is wherewith we be inrolled as it were in the houshold and familie of God which Sacrament we call Baptisme the other wherewith we be conserued fed kept and nourished to continue in the same familie which is called the Lords Supper or the body and bloud of our Sauiour Iesus Christ broken for our sinnes and shed for our transgressions Of the former Sacrament that is of Baptisme to speake now I am not purposed because occasion and time serue not so thereto Of the second therefore will I speake something by Gods grace if that first you remember this that Baptisme in Christs Church now sithens Christs death is come in place of Circumcision which was in the same Church afore Christs comming Whereby wee may sée that Christian Parents séeme to bee no lesse bound to offer their Infants Babes to be baptized that they may be taken and accounted of vs as members of Christs mysticall body whereunto they are receiued and sealed then were the Hebrues their children to bee taken as pertayning to the couenant and league with God wherewith they were inrolled alonely the circumstance of the eight day not necessarie to be obserued béeing now abrogated But

of the Cup for they that eate and drinke vnwoorthily eate and drinke damnation Therefore this probation and examination is necessarie If men will try their golde and siluer whether they bee copper or no is it not more necessarie that men should trie their consciences Now howe this should bée the Papists teach amisse in sending vs to their auricular Confession which is impossible The true probation and tryall of a Christian conscience consisteth altogether in Faith and repentance Faith hath respect to the doctrine and Articles of our Beliefe repentance hath respect to maners and conuersation Concerning the former I meane of Faith we may sée the Apostle teacheth vs. 2. Corinthians 11. Concerning the latter for our conuersation those sinnes which are commonly called mortall or deadly are to be remooued These sinnes are discerned from other sinnes by the Apostle Rom. 6. in saying Let not sinne reigne and beare a swindge in you in your mortall bodies For truely then wée sinne deadly when wée giue ouer to sinne and let it haue the bridle at his libertie when wée striue not against it but allowe it and consent to it Howbeit if we striue against it if it displease vs then truely though sinne bée in vs for we ought to obey GOD without al resistance or vnwillingnesse yet our sinnes bee not of those sinnes which separate vs from God but for Christs sake shall not bée imputed vnto vs beléeuing Therefore my dearely belooued if that your sinnes doe now displease you if you purpose vnfeinedly to bee enemies to sinne in your selues and in others as you may during your whole life if you hope in Christ for pardon if you beléeue according to the holy Scriptures and Articles of the Christian Faith set foorth in your Creede if I say you now trust in GODS mercy through Christs merits if you repent and earnestly purpose before God to amend your life and to giue ouer your selues to serue the Lorde in holinesse and righteousnesse all the dayes of your life although before this present you haue most grieuously sinned I publish vnto you that you are woorthy ghests for this Table you shall be welcome to Christ your sinnes shall be pardoned you shall be endued with his spirit and so with Communion with him and the Father and the whole Church of God Christ will dwell in you and you shall dwell in him for euermore Wherefore behaue your selues accordingly with ioyfulnes and thankesgiuing Doe you nowe appeare before the Lorde make cleane your houses open the doores of your hearts by repentance faith that the Lord of Hostes the King of glory may enter in and for euer héereafter beware of all such things as might displease the eyes of his Maiestie Flie from sinne as from a Toade come away from Poperie and all Antichristian Religion be diligent in your vocations be diligent and earnest in prayer harken to the voyce of God in his word with reuerence liue worthy your profession Let your light in your life so shine that men may see your good works and glorifie your Father which is in heauen As you haue béene darkenesse and followed the works of darkenesse so now hence forth bee light in the Lord and haue societie with the woorks of light Now hath God renewed his couenant with you in Gods sight now are you as cleane and healed from all your sores of sinnes Goe your wayes sinne no more least a worse thing happen vnto you Sée that your houses béeing new swept bee furnished with godlinesse and vertue and beware of idlenesse least the Deuill come with seuen spirits worse then himselfe and so take his lodging and then your latter end will bee worse then the first God our Father for the tender mercie and merits of his sonne bee mercifull vnto vs forgiue vs all our sinnes and giue vs his holy spirit to purge cleanse and sanctifie vs that wee may bee holy in his sight through Christ and that we now may be made ready and worthie to receyue this holy Sacrament with the fruits of the same to the full reioycing strengthening of our hearts in the Lord.
