reuerende father in God / Thomas archebysshop of Canterbury and of all Englande Metropolitane Rycharde Bōner wyssheth grace and peace in our sauiour Iesu Christ wyth the encrease of all godly knowledge IN asmuch ryght vertuous father as god hath not onely called you for longe as many men haue wel perceiued to suche a knowledge of hys moost holy worde as dyd styrre vp in you both a great reuerence towardes the same and cause you ryght earnestly to desyre to haue it trewly taught set forth to the glory of god in al places but specially amongest vs hys people of thys your natiue coūtrey but hath also after it hath now pleased hym to offre the same frely vnto vs called you to haue the ouersight therof I haue thought it not onely mete but therwythal my boūde dew tye to present thys my poore worke vnto your faythful dyscretion And not bycause I dyd eyther iudge any thynge to be in it whych I wolde declare vnto you as yf you were ignoraūt of the same or els that I feard you wolde not prouyde as much as in you laye the trewth in al thynges to be knowen and set forth wythout the vtteryng of my rude and symple mynde in it but onely bycause I knowyng the slendernesse of my lernyng and beyng yet constrayned to wryte of thys so weyghty a matter feared that there might be sumwhat wrytten of me in it that shoulde not fully agree with the veryte of goddes worde which is now so greatly desired almost of al mē to be sincerely declared that it semeth they wold euen deuoure the same yf they myght but ones spye it out I haue therfore hūbly gyue this poore worke vnto you inspecially that it myght rather be corrected by your godly iudgement and dyscrete ouersyght thē thought worthy to be thankefully receyued And lesse the rudenesse therof might yet let you from the reading of it for the same I haue here also in a brefe summe set forth the special matters of it whych are these Fyrst in declaryng how our Lorde Iesu Christe myght be honoured a ryght in thys sacrament when it is mynistred at an holy souper I haue shewed what God gyueth vs by his holy worde and sacramentes specially what he gyueth vs by this most holy sacramente of hys bodye and blode by the whiche I haue sayde that our lorde Christe though thorowe his heauenly spirite also offereth and presenteth vnto vs hys very body and blode as it was both in sufferynge death for vs here and as it is also at the ryghte hande of God for vs nowe that is to saye as his very bodily Passion trew Resurrection and Ascensyon was and is continually the onelye meanes that purchaseth vs the grace and good wyll of God for the remyssion of all our synnes and presenteth the same freely vnto vs by hys mooste mighty spirite by this his holy sacramente for to helpe vs bothe to a sure fayth and trust in the same free remyssyon and for to woorke in vs also all the hole strength and vertue of his very body and blode as the very same mekenesse loue and charyte with al the holynes ryghtuousnesse and purite that hath alwayes bene and is in it These .ii. thynges chiefely doth our lorde Iesus Christ offer and freely present vnto vs by hys myghtye and mooste heauenly spirite and by thys holy sacrament to thentente that we myghte so receyue by the vertue of hys bodelye passyon whyche he suffered yet but once for all the free remission of our synnes at all tymes and by his trew resurrectyon and ascensyon our full iustificatyon lyke as he hathe dyed for the one aswell as for the other By meanes wherof I haue sayd also that thys sacrament is called the bodye and blode of Christe and the very testament or promyse of theym beyng present with it thus at al such times as it is ministred according to his institutiō Wherupō I haue in lykewyse further declared that forasmuche as there is present thus the bodye and blode of Christ so muste this nedes be the honoure and worshyppe specially dew vnto it when it is ministred That we do fyrste and before we wyll receyue it beyng the treasure of all heauenly vertues cōceyue suche a fayth and trust in hys bodyly passyon and trew resurrectyon thorow this his free and vndeserued callynge of vs to the better remembraunce of it by thys sacrament of hys owne instituting for the same purpose as maye cause vs both to laye awaye all the vyces within our corrupt bodyes with suche a repentaunce as feleth vs sumwhat to haue nede of the greate vertues offered in it and to beleue also that we shall the more assuredly receyue then the full remyssyon of all oure synnes thorow the worthines of the same passion and resurrectyon And secondly that we do forth with vp on thys callyng of vs vnto faith by thys sacrament receyue it externally also accordyng to hys ordinance for the strengthenyng confyrmyng of the same fayth the more assuredly in vs and for our better encreasyng in his most godly vertues And thirdly that we from thence forth do geue ouer oure selues holly to the rest of hys lawes but specyally to the charitable and louyng expressing of his mekenesse and pacience to oure neyghboures agayne lyke as he hathe moste gentely dealte with vs in geuyng theym vnto vs freely before These .iii. thinges repentance faith and amendemente towardes oure neyghboure are the special honours dwe vnto thys sacrament at all such tymes as it is ministred accordynge to his ordinance wherwith we must honour it in spirite verite And yet do not these kindes of honouring it let that we shold not at al such times as we wyll receyue it humbly honoure it with all the powers and membres of our bodyes also yf some necessitie do not debarre the same as with the vncoueryng of our headdes wyth the knelyng and bowyng downe of our bodyes and with the praysyng of hys goodnes therein with oure tounges but the honouring of it in spirite and veryte doeth seclude all other tokens to be done vnto it but when we can so wourshyppe it before As to wete we can neuer honoure thys sacramente a ryght with handes and knees but when we can fyrst conceiue such a fayth and trust in the bodylye passyon and trew resurrectyon of Christe for the remyssyon of our synnes by hys free callyng of vs vnto it thorow the
