transubstatiation beside the manyfold absurdities it hath in it whych to rehearse I omyt it vtterly ouerthroweth the vse of the Sacrament and is cleane contrary to the end wherefore it was instituted and so is no longer a scrament but an Idole is the cause of much Idolatry conuerting the peoples harts from an heauenly conuersation to an earthly and turning the Communion into a priuate action and a matter of gasyng and piping of adoring worshipping the worke of mens handes for the liuing God which dwelleth not in ▪ Temples made with mens handes much lesse lyeth he in pixes and chests whose true worship is in spirit verity which God graunt vs all to render vnto him continually Amen The Sacrament of Baptisme doth also teach vs that as the substaunce of the water remayneth there so in the Lords supper remaineth the substaunce of bread after cōsecration For as by Baptisme we ar engraffed into Christ so by the Supper we ar fed with Christ These two sacramentes the Apostle gladly coupleth together 1. Corinth 10. and. 1. Corint 12. VVear baptsed into one body saith he and haue dronke all of one spirit meaning it by the Cup as Chrysostome and other great learned men do wel interprete it As therfore in Baptisme is geuen vnto vs the holy Ghost and pardon of our syns whych yet ●ye not lurking in the water so in the Lords supper is geuen vnto vs the communion of Christes body bloud that is grace forgeuenes of syns innocency lyfe immortality with out any transubstantiation or including of the same in the bread By Baptisme the old man is put of and the new man put on yea Christ is put on but without trāsubstantiating the water And euen so it is in the Lords supper Wee vp sayth spirituallye in our soules do feede ou Christee body broken doo eate hys flesh and drynke hys bloud doo dwell in hym and he in vs but wythout trausubstantiation As for the tauill they make that wee are baptised into one ●ody meaning therby the mystical body not the natural body of Christ wherby they would enforce that we are fed with the natural body of Christ but we are not ingraffed into it but into the mysticall body and so put away the reason aforesayde as for thys cauill I say we may soone auoyde it if so he that we wyl consider how that Christ whych is the head of the mysticall body is not seperate frō the body and therefore to be engraffed to the mystical body is to be engraffed into the natural body of Christ to bee a member of his flesh and bone of his bones as Pope Leo ful wel doth witnes in saying that Corpus regenerati fit caro crucifixi The body sayth he of the regenerate is made the flesh of Christ crucified And here to I could adde some reasons for the excellēcy of Baptisme I trow it be more to be begotten then to be nourished As for the excellent myracle of the pa●efaction of the Trinifie and the descendyng of the holy Ghost in Baptisme in a visible forme the lyke whereto was not seene in the Lordes supper I wyl omyt to speake of further then that I would you shuld know how it were no mastery to set forth the excellency of this sacrament as well as of the supper It is a playne sygne of Antichrist to denye the substaunce of bread wyne to be in the Lords supper after consecration For in so doing and graunting transubstantiation the propertye of the humane nature of Christ is denyed For it is not of the humane nature but of the deuine nature to be in many places at once As Didimus de spiritu sācto doth proue there by the diuinity of the holy Ghost Now graunt transubstantiation and then Christes natural body must needes be in many places which is nothyng els but to confound the two natures in Christ or to denye Christes humane nature whych is the selie same that saint Iohn saith to denye Christ to be come in the flesh And this who so doth by the testimony of saynt Iohn in an Antichrist in his so doing whatsoeuer otherwise he do prate Reade saynt Augustine in hys Epistle to Dardanus and his .l. and .xxx. treatise vpon S. Iohn and easely you shall see how that Christes body must needes be in one place Oportet in vno loco esse but hys truth is in all places If ther be no substance of bread in the Sacrament but transubstantiation then Christs body is receiued of the vngodly and eaten with their teeth which is not onely against saint Augustine calling this speech except you eate the flesh of the sonne of man c. a figuratiue spech but also against the playne scriptures which affirme them to dwell in Christ Christ in them and they to haue euerlasting lyfe that eate hym whych the wicked haue not although they eate the sacrament He that eateth of this bread saith Christ shal lyue for euermore Therefore they eate not Christes body but as Paule sayth they eate in iudgement and damnation whych I trow be an other maner of thyng then Christes bodye And thys doth saint Augustine affirme saying none do eate Christes body which is not in the body of Christ that is as he expoundeth it in whom Christ dwelleth not and hee in Christ Which thing the wicked do not because they want fayth and the holy spirite whych be the meanes whereby Christ is receyued To the thinges which I haue brought herefoorth to improue transubstantiation I could bring in the fathers to confyrme the same which succeded continuallye many hundreth yeares after Christ Also I could shewe that transubstantiation is but a new doctrine not established before Sathan whych was tyed for a thousand yeares was letten lose Also I could shew that euer hetherto synce it was established in all times it hath bene resisted and spoken against Yea before thys doctrine the church was nothing so endowed with goodes lands and possessions as it hath beene synce It hath brought no small gayne no small honour no small ease t the Cleargy and therefore no maruel though they striue and fyght for it It is their Maozim it is their Helena God destroy it with the breath of hys mouth as shortly he wylfor his names sake Amen If tyme would serue I could would here tell you of the absurdities whych come by thys doctrine but for tymes sake I must omyt it Onely for Gods sake see this that thys their doctrine of transubstantiation is an vntruth already I haue proued forget not that it is the whole stay of all Popery and the piller of their Priesthood whereby Christes Priesthood Sacrifice Ministery and truth is letted yea peruerted and vtterly ouerthrown God our Father in the bloud of hys sonne Christ open the eyes and myndes of all our Magistrates and all other that beare the name of Christ to see it in time to Gods glorye and their own
with the Church all the good that euer it or any member of it had hath or shall haue This is the cōmunion of Sainctus which we beleue in our Creede which hath wayting on it remission of synnes resurrection of the flesh and lyfe enerlasting To the end that we should be most assured and certayne of all these Christ our Sauiour did institute this his Supper therfore would haue vs to vse it So that there is no man I trow which seeth not great cause of geuing thankes to God for this holy Sacrament of the Lord wherby if we worthely receine it we ought to be certayne that all our syns what soeuer they be are pardoned clearly that we are regenerate and borne agayne into a liuely hope into an inheritaunce immortall vnderiled and which can neuer wither away that bee are in the fellow shyp of God the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost that we are Gods Tenples at one with God and God at one with vs that we are mēbers of Christes Church and felowes with the Sainctes in all felicity that we are certayne of immortalitie in soule and body so of eternall lyfe then whych thyng what can be more demaunded Christ is ours and we are Christes he dwelleth in vs and we in him Oh happy eyes that see these things and most happy hartes that feele them My deare brethren let vs pray vnto the Lord to open our eyes to see these wōderfull thinges to geue vs fayth to feele them Surely we ought no lesse to bee assured of them now in the worthy receiuyng of this Sacrament then we are assured of the exteriour symboles and Sacramentes If an Angell from heauen should come and tell you these things then would you reioyce be glad And my deare hartes in the Lord I euen now though most vnwyrthy am sent of the Lord to tel you no lesse but that you worthely receiuing this Sacrament shall receiue remission of all your syns or rather certainety that they are remitted and that you are euen now Gods darlinges Temples and fellow inheritours of al the good that euer he hath Wherefore see that you geue thankes vnto the Lorde for this his great goodnes prayse hys name for euer Oh sayth one I cold be glad in very deede and geue thankes from my very hart if that I dyd worthely receiue thys sacrament But alas I am a very greuous synner I feele in my selfe very little repentance and fayth and therefore I am a frayde that I am vnworthy To the answering of thys obiection I thinke it necessarye to speake somthing of the worthy receiuing in this Sacrament in as great breuity and playnes as I can The Apostle wylleth al men to proue and examine themselues before they eate of the bread and drinke of the cup for they that eate and drinke vnworthely eate and drinke damnation Therefore this probacion and examination is necessary If men wyll try their golde and syluer whether they be coper or no is it not more necessary● that men should trye their consciences Nowe howe this should be the Papists teach amysse in sendyng vs to their auriculer confession which is impos sible The true probacion and tryall of a Christian con●cience consisteth altogether in faith and repentance Faith hath respect to the doctrine and articles of our beliefe repentance hath respect to maners conuersation Concerning the former I meane of faith we may see the Apostle teacheth vs. 2. Corint 11. Concerning the latter for our conuersation those syns which are called commonly mortall or deadly are to be remoued These syns are discerned from other syns by the Apostle Rom. 6. in saying Let not syn raygne and beare aswynge in your mortall bodies For truly then wee synne deadly when we geue ouer to synne and let it haue the bridle at his liberty when we striue not agaynstie but allow it and consent to it How be it if we striue against it if it displease vs then trulye though synne be in vs for we ought to obey God without all resistaunce or vnwillyngnes yet our syns be not of those syns which seperate vs from God but for Christes sake shall not be imputed vnto vs beleuing Therfore my dearely beloued if that your synnes doo now displease you if you purpose vnfaynedly to be enemies to iyn in your selues and in others as you may during your whole lyfe if you hope in Christ for pardon if you beleue according to the holy scriptures and articles of the Christiā fayth set forth in your Creede if I say you nowe trust in Gods mercy through Christes merites if you repent and earnestly purpose vefore God to amende your lyfe and to geue ouer yourselues to serue the Lord in holynes and righteousnes al the daies of your life although before this present you haue most greuously synned I publish vnto you that you are worthy gestes for this table you shall be welcome to Christ your syns shall be pardoned you shall be endned with hys spirit and so with communion with hym and the Father the whole Church of God Christ wyll dwell in you you shall dwell in hym for euermore Wherefore behaue your selues accordinglye wyth ioyfulnes and thankes geuing Do you nowe appeare before the Lord make cleane your houses open the dores of your hartes by repentance and faith that the Lord of hostes the kyng of glory may enter in and for euer hereafter beware of all suche thynges as myght displease the eyes of hys Maiesty Flie from syn as from a Toade come away from popery and all Antichristian religion be diligent in your vocations be diligent earnest in prayer harken to the voyce of God in hys word with reuerence lyue worthys your profession Let your lyght in your lyfe so shine that men may see your good workes and glorify your father which is in heauen As you haue beene darkenes followed the works of darknes so now henceforth be light in the Lord haue society with the workes of light Now hath God renue● hys couenaunt with you in Gods sight now are you as cleane and healed frō all your sores of synnes Go your wayes syn no more lest a worse thing happen vnto you See that your house beyng new swept be furnished with godlines and vertue and beware of idlenes lest the deuil come with seuen spirits worse then himselfe and so take his lodging and then your latter end wyll be worse then the first God our Father for the tender mercy and merites of hys soune be mercyful vnto vs forgeue vs al our syns and geue vs his holy spirit to purge cleanse sanetify vs that we may bee holye in hys sight through Christ that we now may be made ready worthy to receiue thys holy Sacrament with the fruits of the same to the full reioyning strengthening of our harts in the lord To whom be all honour glory world without ende Amen To God be all praise for euer ●il 3. 17.
