though the Law were for the old man to mortifie him and the Gospell for the new man to comfort him againe or as if the old Testament had so washt her face and changed her apparell at Christes comming that one would not thinke it the same but a new Testament because euen now she was shadowed with a thousand Ceremonies and now they are gone from her like a mist at the sunne rising As Christe calleth loue a newe Commandement because hee renewed it like a law worne out of memorie so he calleth the promise of saluation a new testamēt Euery testamēt is confirmed with bloud the ould Testament was confirmed by the bloud of Goats and Bullocks and Rammes but the new Testament is confirmed by the bloud of Christ My bloud saith Christ is the bloud of the new Testament nay this Cup sayth Christ is the new Testament You may see then that they may gather as well out of Christs words that the Cup is the new Testament as that the Wine is his bloud For Christ sayth This Cup is the new Testament as well as hee sayth This Wine is my bloud or This bread is my body Beside when Christ speakes of a new Testament he implieth that the ould Testament is fulfilled the Sacrifices and Ceremonies of the Law did signifie Christ before he came therefore they are fulfilled in his comming no mo Sacrifices no mo Ceremonies for the truth is come Sacrifices and Ceremonies are honorably buried with the Priesthod of Aaron let them rest it is not lawfull to violate the Sepulchers of the dead and take their bodies out of the earth as the Witch would rayse Samuel out of hys graue Therefore they which retaine Ceremonies which should be abrogated reliques of Iudaism or reliques of Papisme may be sayd to violate the Sepulchers of the dead disturb the deceased like the Witch which presumed to raise Samuel out of his graue This testament is called a testamēt in bloud because the testamēt and will of a man is confirmed when the man is dead so Christ confirmed his Testament by his death Moses saith that life is in the bloud so the bloud of Christ is the life of this Testament If Christs bloud had not been shed this Testament made vnto vs had been vnprofitable as the Testament of a Father is to his Sonne if the Father should not die but liue Therfore the Apostle saith without shedding of bloud there is no remission of sinnes Therefore the Testament or couenant of the remission of our sinnes is called the Testament in bloud the bloud of Christ is the seale of the Testament which we haue to shew vnto GOD for the remission of our sinnes and the two Sacraments are a seale of that bloud to witnes that it was shed Againe this is a matter regarded in Testaments and Willes to the Testament of him that is dead no man addeth or detracteth but as the Testator made it so it standeth without alteration so should this Testament of Christ and this Sacrament of Christ no man should alter it now he is dead for he which addeth or detracteth hath a curse in Gods book Therfore Christ whē he instituted this Sacrament commanded doo this that is do as I do least they should swarue one whit from his owne manner yet how many gaudes haue the Papists added to it that he which had heard Christ say Doo this in remembrance of me and should see how they handle the matter in their Masse could see nothing to remember Christ by but a vaile to hide Christ frō him Therefore this Commandement was repeated again when he gaue the wine Doo this c. as he commanded them to eate the bread in remembrance of him so he commandeth them to drinke the wine in remembrance of him nay he speaks more precisely of the wine than of the bread for he saith of the Wine Drinke you all of this which he saith not of the bread Surelie Christ did foresee that some proud Hereticks would do otherwise after him euen as it is come to passe for the Papist doth breake this commaundement of Christ as flatly as Saul brake the commaundement of Samuel Samuel commanded him to kill the fat and the leane Saul killed the leane but not the fat so Christ commandeth to receiue bread and wine they teach to receiue bread but not wine Christ saith Drink you all of this they say drinke not all of this Christ gaue the bread wine to all they giue the bread to all and the wine to some their Priests receiue all but the people must cōtent themselues with half the Priest eates and drinks but the people must not drinke for spilling on their cloathes Is this the Church which cannot erre Doo they thinke to hemme Christ in their Masse and shut his ordinance out of their Masse The Soldiours diuided Christs coate but these diuide his body and separate the bread wine which Christ hath ioyned Paule speaketh of hereticks which taught Touch not tast not handle not so these say touch not tast not handle not whē they should say Touch and tast and handle Of all Heresies either old or new there is none so iniurious to the cōmon people as the pasture of shauelings Poperie for they may not reade the Scriptures they may not come to Councells they may not examine that which is taught them they may not bee bu●ied without a mortuarie they may not drinke at the Communion as though their Priests were their Lords Therefore we may say as a Heathen did There is no charitie in the Papists Sacrament because like Ananias the Priests keepe backe that which they should distribute mangle the Sacrifice as though Ely his sonns had left their hooke to the Massing Friers Thus that ye may knowe who succeed the Pharisies they haue fulfilled that which the Pharisies did that is By their owne Commaundements they haue made the Commaundement of God of no effect For whereas the purpose of Christ was to tye our faith wholy to himselfe that wee shoulde not seeke for any thing without him knowing that the maintenance of this life hath need both of meate and drinke to teach vs that all sufficiencie is in himself by bread and wine he sheweth that he is in stead both of meate drink that is in stead of all which signification is taken away where the wine is not giuen as well as the bread Therefore as it is sayd of a horrible and odious crime Consider the matter giue sentence so I wish all to consider this Innouation giue sentence of it Can there be any cleerer contradiction to the Word or bolder checke to Christ than when he saith Drinke you all of this to say drinke not all of this As when God sayd Ye shall die the diuell sayd ye shall not die shall wee goe now to a Counsell or a
