blessed be all they That though they se not yet wil beleue in me To beleue in Christ what iudgest thou to be Is it not to beleue all that Christ doth teache In mysteries of fayth aboue reasons reache Of the whiche among all that Christ hath left here This sacrament doth all other excel First because Christ is there yet seen no where But by fayth which in this doth reasō down fel Whiche with all our senses against it doth rebel And yet fayth doth byd vs it to defende Whiche we intende to do vnto our lyues ende Now while this doctor Luther talked thus In came a standard all abrode displayed Under whiche came in Oecolampadius Faring as though he wold make thē all afrayde And agaist the sacrament like a beast he brayde And as did Beringarius so did he it assayle But the doctours defeded it he could not preuail Then Decolampadius in his assaultyng Heard Luther defende Christes presence bodily To be vnder the sacrament not withstanding The substaunce of bread to byde with the body For the whiche he did reproue Luthers foly Saiyng that no learned man would agre Two substances in one body to be Christ was promist quod he to be incarnate So that God man one substaunce should be But who euer re● he should be unpanate And take the nature of bread in vnitee Of person and so make his natures thre Of the whiche one wyll corrupt we spye And then shal be false the prophetes prophecie These inconueniences with diuers other mo Decolampadius plainly declared With the doctors all confirmed to be so But then to speake more he him selfe prepared ▪ For to be mistaken very sore he feared All inconueniences cleane to put away It was but onely a signe of Christ he did say Thus Luther and he began to contend Though thei both did erre yet did thei not agre Of the whiche debate or they had made an ende Carolstadius cummyng anone I did see His assault before Luther gaue he But hearing them newe gloses to inuent To lose his fame so he was not content Fyrst he hearing Luther defende so stoutly That hoc est corpus meum must be vnderstand That with bread was Christes own very body And then on the other side how he was withstād By Decolampaduis whiche that text scand That hoc est must nedes be this doth signifie And stepping betwene he sware thei both did lye Than of proud Nēbroth I though at that houre Whom God preuented with all his company At buildyng of the Babilonical towre By confusion of tongues God letted their foly And so did he theirs experience did trye For when they thought lady faith to ouerrunne They were as nye as when they fyrst begunne For when the other twayne as I before say Had these wordes of Christ so interpretate He affirmed plain that thei toke the wrong way And that the spirit of truth did his heart inflate The sēse of these words sayth he are in this rate To be vnderstande not est for signifie But est for is euen as the text doth lye So then this is my body Christ did say plaine But to what pointed he when he did so say To the bread nay there deceiued are ye twayne He pointed to him selfe sitting there that day Not meanyng of the bread by any way But that thei should eate it in the remembrance Both of his great loue and also his sufferance Then eche of them affirmed his owne sense To be the very truth although contrarie They were eche to other they stode in defence Of their sayinges and so beganne to vary Yet though eche showde him selfe aduersarie Unto ladie fayth yet at the last they fell Through pryde one against another to rebel But when the doctors harde Carolstadius Of christes plain wordes so false a glose to take O wicked man quod thei herken vnto vs what scriptur hail y u that for thi part doth make For what cause toke Christ bread these words spake Take eat this is my body marke this thing well And to what thing Christ did point this wyll the tell Christes taking of the bread in his holy hand His geuing of thankes blessing and breaking And bidding them eate can no way be scande But that his act did cōcurre with his speaking Saiyng this is my body what playner thing Cā there be to proue that that which thei did eat Was his owne body that most heauenly meat Of all foolishe gloses that is moost madde To say that of the bread Christ ment not at all And if that should be true then the Iewes had A better repast in eating their paschall That was fleshe bloud had life naturall Then w t christ in figure they were truely fedde But we haue not so muche if Christ ment not of the breade When he had this saied these wretches all Began against faieth to be more vehement But then because in to sectes they did fall Hauing amonge them no kinde of agrement Conserning the right faieth in the sacrament Eche against other his fancye did defende Thus brauling with thē selues this assaulte did ende Then lyke brainles beastes they fell in decay Lyke those that had sought their own cōfusion Leuing lady faieth in hir olde godly staye To whom all the doctours in conclucion Submitted them selues with out abusion And vnto Christ there in the sacrament They kneled downe with deuotion reuerent Then stood lady faieth quietly in rest Holding the sacrament honorably Yet some now and then would haue hir opprest Whiche were souldiours of wicked heresye Assaulting hir ofte very cruelly Whom for to hurte when they sawe they lacked power They fled backe all to the tente of errour Wherin they did rest I sawe them no more Then kneled I downe doyng reuerence Unto Christ there as I had done before Suppossing the deuilles deadly diligence Had bene debarde by the doughty defence Of all the doctours and as I there stood I harde horses bray as they had bene woode Then began my hart for great feare to quake Me thought al the world against faith was bēt But then faith bad me a good hart to take For this assaulte quod she wyll be feruent But looke that fro me thou be not absent And take here quod she this target and sworde Glad was I then of hir to heare that worde Then as I toke these my selfe to defende In came reason whiche a standard did beare Upon the whiche in blacke letters was pende The names of al those which his captaines wer Whō when I beheld like byshoppes did apppere Whiche in my mynde was a straunge sight to se Byshoppes on that sort disgysed to be The first was two Archbyshops whō I did know The third Rydley which on the quene did raile The fourth was Hoper the fifte was Barlowe The syxt was Poinet the seuenth was Bale The eight was Brown the ninth Couerdale Farrer and Tayler made
congruence It doth extende farther or els I haue mist Ye for soth quod he who wyll that resyst For when Christ offered him selfe by his passion He became for euer our propiciation In consideration wherof we do here Offer to the father this swete sacrifice Of his blessed sonne to him moost dere Whose death for mercy for vs dayly cryes For workes haue we none that before his eyes Are worthy of mercy therfore we do all In that same death for mercy dayly cal The next figure quod he to this agreeth wel Where as the Iewes the paschal lambe did eate In the remembraunce as scripture doth tell Of their deliueraunce by myracle great Out of Egypte of whiche figure to entreate It wyll require a longe circumstaunce But lette not the tyme to the be greuaunce Egypte the darknes of synne doth signifie In the whiche man was after his fall And by Pharao is figured the deuill truely Under whom man was both subiecte and thral And Moyses in figure Christ I may call Whiche Moyses ledde the children of Israel Through the redde sea from Pharao cruell Euen so our Moyses Christ our sauiour Deliuered his people through his redde bloud From Pharao the deuill and all his hole power Under whom man then in great daunger stood Now when God by Moyses was to man thus good He wilde man yerely for a memoriall To eate a lambe which they named the paschall Then for as muche as our lord did fore se How the nature of man was corrupted With forgetfulnes for the whiche he For mens cōmoditee this ordeined That they shoulde eate a male lambe vnspotted In a remembraunce how they deliuered were From wicked Pharao as ye before did here In like maner our sauiour Christ Iesu Ordeined for a perpetuall memorye A lambe to be eaten our mindes to renewe In dayly remembraunce of his mercy Whiche he procured by his death truely The lambe that he lefte was himselfe in dede As in the Euangelistes plaine we do reade That christ is the lābe it doth plaine appeare Beholde the lambe of God saint Iohn doth say That taketh awai the sinnes of the world cleare Which he did truely by his death that day That his fleshe was brokē none can this denay Now then to Christes maundy let vs resorte And se there what weight his wordes doth importe Christ at his last supper toke bread in his hand He blest it and brake it and those wordes saied This is my body thus doth his wordes stande The whiche for you saith he shal be betrayed These were his wordes it can not be denaied But he spake thus quod I only in figure That doth not quod he agree with scripture Thou must nedes graūt ꝙ he that christ came here The figures of the olde lawe to fulfyll Cheifely all suche as of his cōming were And that not with figures to thinke so were yl Whoso affirmeth that can litle skyll In the scripture for thus writteth saint Paule That the lawe to the Iewes was in figures al. And yet this same sacrament is a figure But not only of Christes body naturall For y t it cōtaineth but this we read in scripture That the fourme of bred which we se material Is a figure of Christes body mysticall As to the Corynthes we do plainely reade To recite the wordes I thinke shall not nede But now to note christes words how thei were spokē Thꝭ is my body that geuē for you shal be Whiche the next day on the crosse was broken For the sinnes of all men this by faith we se. Now that christ is trueth needes we must agre Wel thē of the bread truth these words did say Which truely was true if he died the next day Thus is Christ the lambe that continuallye Is eaten of vs in his memoriall Because we should not forget his mercy Whiche by his death he purchast for vs all This to his comming truely continue shall The Iewes then eate the lambe in figure onlye But we eat the true lābe the scripture doth try The Manna also which came from aboue To feede Gods people in the wildernes Doth signifie this great token of loue With whiche Christ doth fede his people doubtlesse As y e Prophetes saying here plain doth expresse The breade of Angels man hath eate saith he And christ this same breade nameth hīself to be I am the breade of lyfe saieth our sauiour Whiche from heauen aboue did truely descende To geue lyfe to man doth passe mannes power I am the true breade which doth to that extēde Manna from hounger did man only defende but who y t eateth of this bread sure of life shal be And the breade that I wyll geue is my fleshe saieth he Came his flesh frō heauē ꝙ I that wold I here For I beleue of trueth he toke it of Marye And yet by your wordes me thīke it doth appere That y e bread was his flesh which came frō a hie I thinke this saying true ye can not trye For if ye can so my faith I wyll forsake For I do beleue his fleshe he did here take Loo here thy ignoraunce thou dost shew to me Did not christ like case say these wordes plainly truly No man ascendeth to heauen but only he Which came downe frō heauē the sonne of man Which is in heauen marke what these wordes doth try the son of mā which is ī heauē yet he Was in his manhode here as all men might se. To discusse that ꝙ I doth farre passe my wit Why wilt thou thē quod he in thy faith dispute Thou wouldest dig a pitte thi selfe fall into it As many other doth them selues to cōfute But do not thou like case frō thi faith trāsmute And now to shew the I wyll take in hand How these two places true together stand But first one text I wyll note to the more What wyll ye say saieth Christ when ye shall see The sonne of man ascende where he was before Doth not this text now expresse vnto thee His manhode in heauen before that to be May not I say than his fleshe is that bread Which came frō heauē wherw t our soules be fed Then toke he no fleshe here that I ꝑceiue wel Yes forsoth ꝙ he this dothe not that disproue For why s. Iohn doth writ in his gospel That the word was made flesh euen Gods sōne aboue By eternal generacion none can that remoue So God man was knyt alwayes to remaine But one in ꝑsonage though in natures twaine Nowe syth our nature vnto God is knyt Beyng one in person as I before did say To know how this should be doth passe al mens wyt Yet that this is true no man can denay But that man is God and God is man alway Now then Christes holy fleshe by this vnitie May truely be said alwaye in heauen to be Now this heauēly bred vnder which christ is here The breade of
