A12703 The high vvay to Heaven by the cleare light of the Gospell cleansed of a number of most dangerous stumbling stones thereinto throwen by Bellarmine and others In a treatise made vpon the 37. 38. and 39. verses of the 7. of Iohn: wherein is so handled the most sweete and comfortable doctrine of the true vnion and communication of Christ and his Church, and the contrarie is so confuted, as that not onely thereby also summarilie and briefly, and yet plainly all men may learne rightly to receiue the sacrament of Christs blessed bodie and blood, but also how to beleeue and to liue to saluation. And therefore entitled The highway to Heauen. By Thomas Sparke Doctor of Diuinitie. Sparke, Thomas, 1548-1616. 1597 (1597) STC 23021; ESTC S102434 161,682 384

confute_v herein_o i_o shall_v have_v to_o deal_v with_o two_o sort_n of_o adversary_n the_o one_o sort_n where_o of_o be_v the_o lutheran_n which_o i_o late_o speak_v of_o who_o to_o that_o end_n interpret_v christ_n word_n speak_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o as_o that_o thereupon_o they_o infer_v such_o a_o consubstantiation_n that_o be_v such_o a_o be_v together_o of_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n with_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o use_n of_o this_o sacrament_n that_o whosoeverreceive_v the_o one_o with_o his_o mouth_n receive_v the_o other_o and_o the_o other_o sort_n be_v our_o common_a adversary_n the_o papist_n who_o interpret_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n so_o as_o that_o by_o the_o force_n thereof_o they_o teach_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o be_v transubstantiate_v that_o be_v to_o be_v turn_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o some_o of_o they_o have_v hold_v or_o at_o least_o thereby_o as_o now_o most_o of_o they_o hold_v so_o to_o be_v convey_v away_o that_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o the_o accident_n thereof_o under_o which_o be_v together_o with_o which_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n real_o be_v so_o certain_o present_a that_o every_o receiver_n thereof_o take_v into_o his_o mouth_n the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n otherwise_o these_o two_o be_v at_o deadly_a war_n one_o with_o another_o and_o the_o former_a in_o most_o of_o the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o christian_a religion_n hold_v with_o we_o fond_o against_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o in_o this_o and_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o this_o their_o carnal_a and_o gross_a presence_n they_o be_v as_o vehement_a and_o bitter_a against_o we_o for_o the_o deny_v &_o oppugn_v thereof_o as_o the_o other_o

we_o consider_v of_o they_o &_o of_o the_o ground_n thereof_o first_o and_o afterwards_o we_o will_v take_v a_o view_n of_o those_o thing_n and_o of_o their_o ground_n also_o wherein_o they_o differ_v

daily_o do_v about_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v cuident_a that_o they_o both_o hold_v a_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n together_o with_o the_o outward_a element_n in_o the_o

in_o by_o his_o mouth_n the_o very_a real_a &_o true_a body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o both_o of_o they_o ground_n both_o these_o their_o opinion_n first_o of_o christ_n word_n utter_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n then_o of_o his_o almightiness_n and_o last_o of_o the_o state_n now_o of_o his_o glorify_a body_n in_o and_o about_o the_o outward_a element_n when_o they_o come_v to_o

at_o least_o be_v tie_v no_o long_o to_o bread_n and_o wine_n nor_o to_o any_o more_o of_o it_o then_o be_v receive_v and_o the_o ministry_n thereof_o last_v for_o extra_n usum_fw-la as_o they_o

soever_o they_o be_v with_o a_o conceit_n to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o doctrine_n teach_v we_o in_o the_o scripture_n or_o in_o any_o ancient_a father_n or_o council_n for_o six_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n at_o the_o least_o for_o with_o one_o consent_n all_o these_o when_o they_o speak_v of_o christ_n presence_n in_o this_o sacrament_n it_o be_v real_a presence_n to_o the_o believe_v communicant_a for_o who_o indeed_o he_o give_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n that_o they_o speak_v for_o and_o that_o they_o speak_v of_o as_o for_o any_o such_o real_a prefence_n of_o he_o either_o with_o or_o under_o bread_n and_o wine_n or_o under_o the_o accident_n thereof_o as_o these_o man_n now_o plead_v for_o never_o either_o any_o writer_n of_o any_o of_o the_o

thereby_o never_o the_o better_a but_o the_o worse_o what_o a_o vain_a thing_n than_o be_v it_o for_o man_n to_o keep_v such_o a_o stir_n to_o the_o vex_v and_o disturb_v of_o all_o christendom_n for_o a_o thing_n so_o fruitless_a alas_o who_o be_v so_o simple_a but_o that_o he_o know_v or_o may_v soon_o know_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v break_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o we_o man_n and_o not_o for_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o therefore_o that_o neither_o bread_n nor_o wine_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o have_v to_o do_v with_o his_o presence_n nor_o yet_o their_o accident_n but_o only_o we_o man_n and_o then_o that_o we_o may_v have_v it_o sufficient_o to_o our_o salvation_n who_o see_v not_o that_o it_o be_v the_o vain_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o strive_v for_o it_o for_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o their_o accident_n further_o see_v both_o of_o these_o do_v confess_v this_o to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n whereof_o we_o now_o entreat_v &_o neither_o of_o they_o yet_o
