A13994	Concerning the Holy Eucharist, and the popish breaden-god to the men of Rome, as well laiqves as cleriqves, by Thomas Tuke.	Tuke, Thomas, d. 1657.	1625 (1625)	STC 24305; ESTC S111514	13,017	28

wel-minded Romane Who is misled I am returnd ' againe The truth ye should be taught I will not tell That which your learned Priestes do knowe full well The Cuppe is yours all as well as the Bread As in the sacred Scriptures ye may read The Substance of the bread and wine remaine After their Consecration that 's plaine They are Afterwards what they were Afore And yet afterwards they are something more Euen as the Priest now order'd will confesse Hee 's what he was yet more by this accesse As for theyr Essence They are the Same they Were But for Vse an other nature they beare Tho then their proper nature does endure Yet in their service they are chang'd it's sure For once hallow'd they are a Sacrament Of Christs body and blood vpon vs spent Bare Signes they are not they are also Seales And exhibit the grace the word reveales The signes thou tak'st at the hand of a man But God giues thee his Son for no man can And when thou comm'st vnto this Sacrament Belieuing humbled and true penitent Thou art hereby put into sure possession Of Iesus Christ and of his blessed passion As truly as thou tak'st the bread and wine So truely are Christs flesh and blood made thine His benefits alone thou doest not take But Christ withall who dyed for thy sake The fruits are thine the tree is also thine Euen as the substance of the bread and wine Yea fast thou art united to thy Lord Who does himselfe and his to thee afford To say That Men Prepair'd Doe Eat His Flesh And drinck his blood their soules for to refresh Euen his very flesh and his very blood May well be sayde if 't be well vnderstood And sauing fayth by which we do belieue Is that by which we eat him and receiue Or say how this is done we doe not know Yet the faithfull doe it although no moe But if thou doest not thither come prepared Then though thou tak'st this holy Cuppe and Bread Yet doest thou not the Bread of life receiue But doest in truth thy foolish heart deceiue For who so comm's without due preparation He eats and drinks vnto his own damnation It being certeinly no small offence To rush on these things without reverence And yet too many doe as may appeare By their ill liues after they haue been there Following the courses they ran before Whereby they anger God so much the more Too many also themselues doe occupy Not in themselues but in this Mysterie Searching and sifting it with carnall wit Whereas to trye themselues were farre more fit But chiefly now sith God has drawen his sword And does not to us speak alone by word The grievous judgments which make many cry Should moue us all our selues in time to trie But yet more know that holy Writ doeth teach That which the holy men of old did preach That the signes themselues are dignified With the names of the things signified And this is for their honor done and more Euen for to raise our hearts from things before Our eyes vnto the things that are aboue Which here are tendred to us of free loue This is trueth it is no lie This is true Antiquitie The other 's new and silly Glorie be to God on high and to men truth And loue and peace through Iesus Christ by the mightie working of the Holie Spirit Amen and Amen March vii 1624.

voyd of life as paine Was really and substantially Presented in that sacred Mystery Eyther of which ye shall as soone make cleere As make the Sunne at midnight to shine here Whereas to fayth Christ absent present is And dead might liue to fayth w' are sure of this Whilst here he was he present was to sence But absent from it now he is gone hence His blessed body present was from dayes Of old to true belieuers fayth alwayes He ever with them was by the power of fayth By which he dwelleth in them th' Apostle sayth Not come in flesh yet was he come to fayth Slayne from the beginning as Scripture sayth And hence it is that they of old by Paul Are sayed the verie same spirituall Both meat to eat and drink to drink which we Our selues receiue by fayth not carnallie For meat and drink which are spirituall Are not to be eaten and drunck as carnall This food they fed on is that Promiss'd Seed Which they receiu'd by fayth and so did feed And still by fayth if true is to be ta'en And not with hand or mouth as ye would faine For fayth can see things a farre off with ease And on them as vpon things present seize Faith for the soule is as much as the eye Hand mouth throat and mawe are for the body But some of you stick not to say The Lord Deceiu'd you if deceiu'd ye be with 's word Forsooth because he sayes This is my body A bold conceipt it is both blinde and frothy For if it please you to weigh this Scripture With other Scriptures or in peace endure To see it for you done in loue by others Who are if ye be Christes in truth your Brothers Ye may cleerely see if ye will permit Your will to be directed by your wit That these same words do beare an other sense Then that ye go about to fetch from thence View well the places ye see quoted here And ye may plainly see what IS meanes there To putte IS for SIGNIFIES is not rare As he soone may see that to see does care Neyther is this exposition new But old no youth as that that 's brought by you For herein your Mothers wit Neither sense nor holy Writ Nor antiquitie does fit As for that Offering of Christ ye hold I wonder much wherefore ye are so bold Search the Scriptures ye can not finde it there Or look to reason and y' are ne'er the neare His owne One's ynough all-able and good Nor is sin pardon'd without shedding blood And therefore yours without such effusion Is nought els at all but mere delusion Yours eyther is the same with his or not If it be not the same then haue ye got An other Gospell besides that he tought But if it be the same with that he wrought Then doe ye offer him in blood and slayen Which ye can not would ye never so faine Christ is no more on earth but is aboue He sayes as much and that doth you reproue I say again that must haue consecration Which vnto God is made a right oblation And who dare say that 's not a divels limme That Iesus Christ is consecrate by him By one offring hath he consecrated For ever them that are sanctified He consecrates vs and his act is stable To consecrate him we are all vnable See then the straits whereinto ye are brought Whiles yee forsake the wayes inth ' Scriptures tought To the Scriptures then giue eare And what God speaks in them heare Holding fast the truth in feare Now do I speak to all you men of fire Who hotter are then reason does require There 's one thing I would gladly haue you show Wherefore your choler should so strangely flow That nothing will suffice you but the blood Of such as think your doctrine is not good But new and naught concerning your Oblation Of Christ and of your Transsubstantiation And yet both yee and wee agree in this That Iesus Christ our life in heauen now is We both belieue he died vpon the Tree And offer'd up himselfe most willinglie We both acknowledge his owne one oblation Made on the Crosse is our propitiation We neither of vs doubt but hold he is A true and perfit man God Lord of blisse More Both of vs affirme and not deceived That hee 's giuen i th' Eucharist and receiued Giuen of God and receiu'd of the godly Which come fitted for that sacred Myst'ry And yet forsooth this will not serue our turne But that as Heretiques we needs must burne And why as Heretiques Because we say There 's no such offring of him day by day Yet confesse we that a Representation Is in the Sacrament of his oblation Who Once offer up himselfe for sin But since that Once hath never offer'd bin Not properly but in a type or figure Whereof we certain are of yours not sure And for because we say as sense does teach And as both Scriptures and old Doctors preach That bread and wine doe truly there remaine And not in shew onely as ye do faigne Teaching men to belieue vnder a curse That their substance is gone and which is worse Turn'd into the flesh and blood of our Lord Which ye presse vpon men with word and sword Now for because we do not hold this turning Ye hold vs as heretiques worthy burning Well what 's past let that suffice Wake and learne for to be wise Hate not men for hating lies The great and mightie God that hath made all Christians and others both great and small Allowes you not to take away mans life Through bitter zeale and vnadvised strife Allowes you not his creatures blood to spill For crossing of your priuate thoughts and will Foule shame it is that mens owne fonde opinions In Christendome should cause so great divisions A shame it is such Boasters of Antiquitie Should be so faultie in devising Novitie O that all humane vnderstanding might Once become subject to the Scriptures light That all would truly yeeld and nothing grudge To make them their Sole Rule of fayth and Iudge O that charitie so much talk'd off might Once among Christians obteyne her right O that God whose Great Name we all confesse Were better serued and offended lesse If filthie Lucre Pride and base Ambition Which are the Workers of so great confusion Were once abandon'd and that men would go Roundly to work the naked trueth to know Preferring it to all things els beside Then should our Lord be better glorified Then factions soone would cease They that vex would seek to please And Christs kingdome would increase Then they that now the holy Church do rend Would all their wits and labors for it spend Then factious Nick-names soone would all be left Neyther should men of peace be so bereft The trueth that now is banish'd True loue which now is vanish'd Would both be better cherish'd Now to the plaine and
