that walketh ī darnes woteth not whether he goeth And while we haue light let vs beleue in the lighte that we maye be chyldren of lyght And this is the condempnation that after the lyght hath come into the worlde men haue yet styll loued darkenes rather than lyghte We be past chyldehod away than wyth childish phantasyes For the houre commeth and now is Iohn iiii whan the true worshippers worshipp the father in spirite and in truth For he as a sprete and therefore loueth he no carnal thynges nor outward thynges but spirituall thynges and inwarde thinges Therfore al you that be called and chosen to be the ministers of Christe and the Stewardes of hys secrets 1. Cor. iiii whan you shall ministre the Lordes supper you may teherse and alledge Christes holy woordes vnto them after this maner Good Christen brethren this godly Institucion of eatynge the Lordes supper came not vp at the fyrst of mannes inuētion nor was not maintened bymānes pollicie nor continued so many yeares as diuerse other blynde cetemoniall customes dyd withoute playne auctoritie of GODS mooste holy worde Therfore dare not I no more than Saynt Paul for feare of beinge founde an vnfaytheful stewarde and a counterfayte executour of the Lordes new Testament and last wyll alledge and bryng in for thastablyshment of receyuyng this moost comfortable supper any wordes ymagined of mannes braynes appeare neuer so eloquent neuer so holylyke or neuer so gloriouse but euen the veray pure and holy woordes spoken of Christe himselfe the same nyghte that he was betrayed and afterward most faythfully wryten by his owne disciples our Euangelistes and nowe at the laste by GODS grace by me pronounced worde for woorde as the texte of the Lorde Iesus Christes newe Testament declareth theym Therfore good Christians lyft vp your hartes to Godwarde that ye maye heare his holye woordes wyth the eare of faythe and that you maye take them for the stedfast ground-werke of your buyldyng for the originall auctoritie for the trew report the directe lyne that iust squiere the vndeceyuable compasse and the verye lymites of the true vnderstandynge and sincere meanynge of the effectualll signification of eatyng the Lordes supper But hearken nowe to the holy wordes of the auctoritie whiche ye shall fynde wrytten in the .xxvi. chapter of Matthewe the .xiiii. of Marke the .xxii. of Luke the .vi. of Iohn and in the eleuenth chapter of the first epistle to the Corinthi 〈…〉 And as they dyd eate / Iesus toke bread whā he had geuen thankes he brake it / gaue it to the disciples / sayd Take / eate / thys is my bodye / whiche is geuen for you This do / in the remembraunce of me Lykewise also whā he had supped / he toke the cuppe thanked / sayeng drynke ye all of this For this cup is the new testament in my bloude / whiche is shedde for many / for the remissiō of synnes Verely I saye vnto you I wil drinke no more of the frute of the vyne tree vntill that day I drynke it newe in the kyngdome of God Verely verely he that putteth his trust in me / hathe euerlastinge life I am that bread of life / whiche came doune from heauē If any man eate of thys bread he shal not die / but shall haue life for euer And the breade that I wyll geue / is my fleshe / whiche I wil geue for the lyfe of the world Verely verely I saye vnto you / excepte ye eate the fleshe of the sonne of man / and drinke his bloud / ye haue no life in you whosoeuer eateth my fleshe / drynketh my bloud / hath eternall lyfe / and I wil rayse hym vp at the last day For my fleshe is meate in dede / and my bloud is drinke in dede He that eateth my fleshe / drynketh my bloud / dwelleth in me / I in him Doeth this offende you What if ye se the sonne of man ascende vp thether wher he was before It is the sprete that quickeneth / the fleshe profyteth nothyng The wordes that I speke vnto you / are spirite and lyfe But there are some of you / that beleue not Hetherto haue I rehersed vnto you the veray wordes of the Lorde as for moost infallible principles of the chyefe Authore of the Christians doctrine as a veray testimoniall of his inestimable loue towarde mankynde and as the wordes of C̄hristes cōmission wherby we dare enterpryse to approche to the Lordes table and there to eate the Lordes body as it was crucyfied on the crosse and drynke his veray bloud the was shed for oure redemption who wer borne by nature the children of wrath and his veray enemyes This must we do for the remembraunce of his most beneficial death and neuer ceasse vntyll the Lorde come For there is not a more odiouse nor so hatefull a thyng eyther vnto God or man as the vice of ingratitude beastely vnkyndnes which is nothing els but the forgetfulnes of benefits employed the vnthankefulnes for good tournes vndeseruedly shewed And as he that yet bāketeth being not an hōgred hapneth some tyme to take surfet vntyll the death of his body Euē so he that eateth this supper not dryuen to with spirituall hongre taketh deadely surfet of his soule And contraryly as the bodely meat eaten of our hongry stomackes is sone disgested and norysheth our bodyes so the fleshe and bloud of Christ eatē of vs with a spirituall hongry desier norysheth our soules into euerlastyng lyfe Amen Here haue I treacted somwhat largier of the Lordes supper than I had entended for I proposed nothynge els but to touche a lytle euen superficially of the termes that wer so impudently and vnshamefastly abused of the Archepapist which termes the preacher at Paules Crosse as I heard saye pretermitted to speake of though he questionles ful entierly pyththely handled and confoūded the rest of his sermon But by like eyther the prescription of the accustomed tyme beynge scarce for to repete in the whole rablemente of that papistical sermon the same vtterly to cōfute either els the childyshe and vnlerned rudenes of the sayde termes made hym as he is verely a mā so highly learned rather to wynke at theim neglect theim than vnworthely to spende any tyme in disputyng aboute so grosse so playne and so tryflynge a matter Therfore I praye God sende vs lesse acquayntance with suche preachers as the fourther was and more familiaritee with al those that be of that christian crudition and godlye conuersacion as the later was Amen FINIS O ye folyshe Galathians / who hathbe witched yon / that ye shuld not beleue the trueth Gala. 3.5 ye ranne wel / who was a let vnto you / that ye shulde not obey the trueth Suche coūsell is not of him that called you A lytel leuen sowreth the wholelompe of dowe I haue truste towarde the Lorde that ye wylbe none otherwise minded But he that troubleth you shall beare hys iudgement / what so euer he be Whatsoeuer thynges are wrytten afore tyme / they are writen for oure learnyng Rome .xv. Beware of false prophetes / whiche come to you in shepes clothing / but in wardli they are rauening wolues Ye shall knowe theym by their fruites ¶ Imprynted at London in Foster lane by Iohn Wally
