bodye and bloude of Christe as Paule saieth Is not the cuppe of thankesgeuing wherwith we geue thankes a partakynge of the bloude of Christ And the bread that we breake is it not the partaking of the bodi of Christ These wordes of Paule do witnes clearely that the faithful eate the body of Christ spiritually vnder the breade and wine Yea likewise as a Bryde receiueth her husband with a ringe euen so receiue the faithful Christ to be theyr owne and euerlastinge saluacion but that some men wil haue that the bodely presence shoulde be in the breade is a greate misse vnderstandinge of the godlye woorde yea it is an Antichristes doctryne whych is contrary both to our faith to al hole scripture for I beleue and holy scripture beareth witnes that Christ after his resurreccion is ascended vp into heauen and sitteth vppon the right hand of his almighty father Rom. viii And bydeth there as concerninge his bodely presence but spiritually he hath promysed to abide with vs to the end of the worlde in his woorde Math. xxviii And seinge that nowe Christe as concerning hys bodely presence abideth at the righthand of God hys father Heb. x. so may not the body of Christ be in the breade And againe it is againste al truth that Christ at one time hath bene in many or diuerse places as touchinge his body Furthermore we do daily se the dredeful idolatry is sprong out of the carnal vnderstandynge of these wordes of Christ This is my body yet daily springeth to the great abhominable slaunder of the honor of god so the mē worship a piece of bread for their god yea hold that to be their maker And the papists locke him in gold and siluer not remēbring what Paule Stephen witnes saying The most highest wil not dwell in temples made with mans hands Act. vii and .xvii O blind mē that are so be witched of the whore that ye can not nor wil not beleue the manifest truth O blindnes and great presumptuousnes of the papistes that wil take vpon thē to teach Iesu Christe oute of heauen into a piece of bread which is consumable as we clearly se by experience that it shulde be worshipped for God which is euerlasting and vnchangeable Now what remedy for I cānot help it therfore must I do as the Lord Iesu Christ spake vnto his Apostels of the Phariseis saying Let thē go for thei are blind leaders of the blynde when one blind leadeth an other so fal they both into the ditche Mat. xv but the lord must be thanked that out of his vnmeasurable grace hath opened our eies that we can se and know wherfore we shal take the bread and the wine in the supper namely for a memorial and token of the suffering and death of Iesu Christ yea for the body bloud of Christe but that for the hye names sake not of the material thinges behalfe as is aboue rehearsed of the Easter Lambe Furthermore the supper of the Lord is also a ioining togither of the Christen congregaciō in loue And also the congregaciō that wil hold this supper must be wel apointed ioined together in brotherlye loue yea they must stād in one spirit soul Ph. i. Hauing a burning loue for Paule saithe we many are one bred one body in asmuch as we ar partakers of one bread likewise as the mēbers of one body ar not in strife one against another but in a charitable vniti seruīg one a nother i. Cor. xii So may there no strife nor debate be foūd in the cōgregaciō of god i. Cor. i. So that ani man shuld only care take thought for him self not care nor loke vpon his brothers lacke but the one must helpe care for the other in al things necessary wher he can or may Gal. vi And no mā must seke that that is his but euery one the other welth Phi. ii And likewise as of the grains of corn cānot be baken bread but through fyre euē so can not the cōgregacion be a right spiritual lofe wherof Paul speaketh but through burning loue and charity so ought the christian cōgregacion to be one lofe i. Co. x. for likewise as many graines are sowen to the intent that bread shuld be baked of it so soweth the great father of houshold his precious wheate into the aker or groūd of this world to the entēt that they al shuld become one lofe breake the supper of the lord rightly after the words of Paul We many are al one bread one bodye in as muche as we are partakers of one bread i. Cor. x. And wher so euer the congregacion is not so apointed and the bread broken in this maner there is the breade eaten and the wine dronken to their dampnacion from the which god the merciful father wyl defend kepe al diligēt louers of the euerlastinge truth through his vnexpressable goodnes mercy Thus haue I breifly expressed and set forth mi faith and beleue in god the father and god the son god the holy ghost iii distinct persons one in the godhead coequall in substance also my fayth beleue agreing with the true word of god of the sacraments or rather significaciōs of baptism and the holy supper of our Lorde Furthermore as touching the burying of my bodi which is nothing but a peice of vile flesh dōg earth dust ashes it auaileth me not wher it be buried for asmuch as I knowe do faithfully beleue that according to the saying of saint Paul i. Tess iiii when the Lord him self shal come doun frō heauē with a shoute and voyce of the archaūgel with the trumpe of god And those that slepe in Iesus Christ shal arise first before those which remain thē vpon the earth shal be caught vp also with them in the cloudes to mete the Lord in the ayr so shal we euer be with the Lord wherfore I am cōforted and satisfied with these words And therfore I remit referre the burying of my body vnto the discression of Iane my wife who is a christian woman and whō I only make my executrix And as touching the distribucion of my tēperal goodes which are but smal although they are more a thousand times then I was worthy of for that I receiued the same at the hands of god honour praise thankes be to him for it and hath cōmaūded me as a faithful wise steward to bestow the same according to his wil. I haue partly in my life time albeit I might haue done much more dystributed the same And that that is remaining at this present aswel moueable as vnmoueable I gyue them aswell heare in Ireland as England holy vnto Iane my wyfe And also I geue vnto her my leace of the personage Tymolynge begge my lease of my house that I nowe dwel in my lease of the personage of Wyckelowe my Custodia of much Cabragh and Pylletteston of the which I trust the lord deputy of Ireland that shal be next and the counsel of the same wil graūt vnto her a further leace for .xxi. yeares Also I geue bequeath vnto her al such debtes other sommes of monye as are due vnto me aswell at the kynges maiesties handes or at anye other personnes Also I geue vnto her suche somes of mony or lande as shal please the kinges maiestie to giue me for my recompence of my seruyce doone heare to paye my debtes withal In witnesse of al the premises I the sayed Richarde Brasier haue subscrybed thys my laste wyl the daye and yeare aboue wrytten Thys my Testamente is of George my seruauntes hande and myne Per me Richarde Brasier ¶ Imprinted at London by Ihon Day dwelling ouer Aldersgate beneth S.
