Leviticus Numbers Beasts appointed for sacrifice were the most obedient and obsequious beasts as the Oxe and the Calfe the Hee and Shee Goat and so likewise amongst Fowle the most mild and gentle as the Pidgeon and Turtle Of Sacrifices againe some were publike and others private or particular those publike were either quotidian or every seventh day either at New Moones or in times of Fasting but they were chiefely celebrated at three festivall times of the yeere which were First the dayes of unleavened bread Dayes appointed for sacrifices when the Paschall Lambe was offered and eaten Secondly the time of Harvest and the first Fruits And thirdly at the Feast of Vines and Olives towards the end of the yeere Exod. 23. They were commanded to immolate every day two Lambes one in the morning another in the evening after the Altar was first perfumed with Incense and Odours Some of the Sacrifices also were ordain'd See the books of Philo the Iew and of Iosephus for corporall things which were celebrated with shedding of bloud other sacrifices were without bloud for things incorporate Sacrifices named Holocausts concerned onely the honour of God because the whole oblation was consum'd in the fire For which Holocausts the Male and not the Female was received as an oblation Holocaust Philo the Iew in his Treatise of Beasts appointed for sacrifice Ioseph lib. 3 c. 20. De Antiq. Iudaic. Lev. 9.2.3.4 Sacrifice for health that is to say the Oxe the Lamb or Goat of a yeere old In the sacrifice for Health it was a matter indifferent whether the oblation were Male or Female but of the victime offered three parts were reserved for the Priest which was the fat the two Rumnions and the Kidney or Fillet of the Kidneys There was another difference betweene the Sacrifice for Health and that celebrated for sinne for in the one they were injoyn'd to eate up all the oblation in two dayes and in the other for sinne the Priest was commanded to eate it up in one day and by this meanes some Sacrifices were termed Holocausts a Sacrifices for sinne Sacrifices for sinne out of ignorance Sacrifices for the high Priests sinne for the Princes for the Magistrate and for particular men Lev. 3.4.5.6 Sacrifice for a polluted man Sacrifice for a delivered woman Lev. 12. Sacrifice for the Leprous Levit. 14. Sacrifice for menstruall pollution some were ordained for health other some for sinnes Sacrifices for sinne were divers both in respect of the persons and of the oblations For he that offended out of ignorance his expiation was celebrated with a female Sheepe or Goat but the expiation for voluntary and wilfull sinne was with a Male sheepe The High Priests sinne was expiated by the sacrifice of an immolated Calfe that of the Prince with an Hee Goat or Bull that of a Magistrate with an Hee Goat and the sinne of a particular man with a female oblation The Sacrifice for expiation of offences towards God was with a Ramme The Sacrifice of a man polluted was also with a female Sheepe or Goat for a womans expiation after child-bed was a Lambe of a yeere old a yong Pidgeon and a Turtle For the clensing of the Leprous were appointed two living Fowles pure and cleane Cedar-wood and Hysop two whole Lambes and a female sheepe of a yeere old with Meale and Oyle Another Sacrifice was celebrated for a man or woman polluted by shedding his Seed or her menstruall bloud with two Turtles and two yong Pigeons If the great Oblations failed they had recourse to Doves Pigeons or Turtles or for Holocausts others maintenance In all Sacrifices there was pure Flowre without Leaven Leaven and Honey forbidden in all sacrifices Sacrifice for a woman suspected of Adulterie Numb 5. Sacrifice of Nazareans Numb 6. Philo the Iew in his Treatise above named Incense and Oyle and nothing was permitted to be offered upon the Altar with Leaven or Honey Notwithstanding in the Sacrifice constituted for the Purification of a woman suspected of Adulterie there was neither Incense nor Oyle as in other Sacrifices but it was offered with water mingled with the dust or ashes gathered up from the floore of the Temple There was also another Sacrifice celebrated for those that had made some great Vow called Nazareans when the time of their Devotion was expired wherein they were appointed to offer three Victimes a Lambe of a yeere old a Sheepe and a Ramme the one that is the Lambe to serve for a Holocaust the other of a female Sheepe for Salvation and the third oblation for Health Furthermore his haires that made the oblation were to be cast into the fire to be burned together with the Holocaust I was willing particularly to discourse of the diversitie of Sacrifices that hereby I might make knowne the great goodnesse and bounty of our God who in the Law of sacrifices publisht by Moses meant to curbe and reyne in the rude people of Israel as it were with a Bridle who could not forget the Aegypt an Idolatries wherein they had beene nourished and bred for about foure hundred yeeres under the tyranny of the Pharaohs Exod. 12. But what rigorous Lawes soever enacted what Ceremonies or Sacrifices soever he did ordaine them this people ever made a relapse into their Idolatry abusing the Law of God and corrupting the holy Sacraments and sacrifices as hereafter shall be expressed But if any man desire to know more at large the multitude and varietie of sacrifices let him reade the bookes of Philo the Iew and of Iosephus in his Antiquities of the Iewes according as Moses hath expressely written in the bookes of Leviticus Numbers There was another signe Sacrament instituted of God Arke of Covenant Exod. 25.26.27.28 by the Arke of Covenant described in Exodus being a sacred signe and dedicated to receive celestiall divine Oracles to the end to induce the people to a remembrance feare obedience of God To accompany and honour the Arke of Covenant many other externall signes were constituted by God as the ornaments and consecrations of the Priests especially that ornament called the Ephod Ephod both which and the Sacrifices the Israelites abused and prophaned with their Idolatries Another sacred signe there was Water of Purificatiō cōsecrated Numb 15. of cleansing water or Water of expiation instituted by God for Moses and Aaron the High Priest This cleansing or purifying Water was consecrated with ashes taken up by an unpolluted man of the oblation offered in the Holocaust that is to say of the whole Red Cow without spot not having ever bin exposed to labour The Fire for the burnt-offering was ordained to be of Cedar-wood Exod. 38. Hysop and of Purple-Crymosme Polluted men were sprinkled over with this Water for an expiation purgation of their corporall blemishes At the entry of the Tabernacle or Temple there was a kinde of Laver like a Font of Brasse forged at first of seeing

that they might eate and communicate of the flesh of victimes in their sacrifices especially the sheepe Blond lib. 1. de Rom. triumph the Sow the Goate and the Oxe which was first instituted by Evander King of Arcadia Wherefore that the Missalians might not degenerate from the idolatry of their predecessors they must needs follow this cōmunion of flesh they are not content with their little round azimall hosts consecrated and printed with images Hosts made of flower transubstantiated into flesh the wine into blood but with time they have invented a new magicke to transubstantiate their little hosts of flower into flesh and bones the bread being no more bread but an accident without substance and by this meanes to convert the round host of flower into a carnall sanguinolent host The wine also offered in their Missall Chalices to bee transubstantiated into blood the wine being no more wine but an accident without substance Detestable Heresie Was there ever a more abominable magicke or a more detestable Heresie then this Missaline transubstantiation When the people of Israel murmured against God because they were weary of eating Manna and celestiall bread calling for flesh was the Manna transubstantiated into flesh An. Christ. 1062. in Chronol Io. Volateran bones and blood When the ancient Romane Idolaters meant to change their round hosts of flower or meale and grew to eate flesh in their facrifices did they use this magicke of transubstantiation Wherefore I freely averre that this Missall addition was lately invented by the Missalians more then a thousand yeares after the Incarnation of Iesus Christ This Heresie began to spread very much of a Nicholai●an Antichrist climbing up to the Romane Pontificacie by the monopoly suggestions of Hildebrand expelling by force the other elected Pope Lanfrac de sat which was Benedict the second of that name in the yeare of Iesus Christ 1062. Afterwards by a Monopoly held in Saint Iohn Lateran in Rome it was advanced during the ecclesiasticall tyranny of Innocent the third of that name about two hundred years after the Palinodie canonized by Berengarius Deane of S. Maurice in Angiers Against which abominable magick and heresie we must briefly by forme of a recapitulation compare the institutions of the Sacraments ordained by God First of all Against Transubstantion Tree of life the fruits of the knowledge of good and ill forbidden to our first father Adam as sacred signes and sacraments of feare and obedience whereon depended life or death were they transubstantiated or converted into knowledge or into death to leave their nature of beeing trees or fruits reduced to an accident without substance The celestiall Manna Celestiall Manna The Rocke flowing out water and the Rocke gushing out lively water sacraments that had reference to the holy Sacrament of the supper were they transubstantiated into an accident without substance The unspotted Lambs immolated by Abel Lambs immolated by Abel in his acceptable sacrifice to God were they transubstantiated into any other nature The Fore-skinne circumcised for a note marke of covenant to the good Patriarche Abraham and his posterity Circumcision was it converted into an accident without substance The blood of the Paschall Lamb Paschall Lamb. for an assurance of Israels salvation was that converted into any other substance The flesh of the immaculate Lambe to bee eaten on the day of the Passeover having reference to the holy Sacrament of the supper was it transubstantiated into an accident wi●hout substance The brazen Serpent which being only beheld Brazen serpent health was granted to the sicke did it not continue a Serpent of brasse was that transubstantiated being ordained for a Sacrament sacred signe to the people of Israel Victi●nes offered in sacrifice both of beasts of the earth Victimes sacrificed azimall loaves with other sacred signes ordained by God for holy signes sacraments of expiation salvation for the people of Israel were they ever transubstantiated into accidents without substance All sacred signes ordained by God in the Israelitish Church though they sacramently represented that which was by them figured and not as a simple picture without reall effect yet did there never live so detestable an heretique which invented or added thereunto this Magicke of transubstantiation And neverthelesse O Missalians you must needs cōfesse that the good and holy Fathers of Israel were adopted engrafted and regenerated by faith in Iesus Christ begotten before all ages that they were nourished purchased eternall life by Iesus Christ that they and we have but one God one onely Iesus Christ one Mediator and Redeemer That by faith they sacramentally communicated and participated spiritually of the blood of Iesus Christ for their salvation and eternall life Comparison of the faith of the ancient fathers of Israell with ours That there is no difference touching God betweene them who did precede the incarnation of Iesus Christ and us that were since his incarnation but both they and wee are equally the Church of God redeemed by the blood of the just and unspotted Lambe Christ Iesus For the rest they had a faith of the future promise and observed the holy Sacraments and sacred Symboles of the Sacrifice which should be consummated by Iesus Christ D. Aug. contra Faust 20. cap. 21. cap. 14. l. 19. contra Petilian li. 2. ca. 37.77 1. Cor. 10. August in Psal and wee in the new law celebrate the memoriall and remembrance of the sacrifice now finished by Iesus Christ having a fruition of the promise accomplished If then the Israelites eate the same celest all bread drunke the same saving drinke which we doe by faith in one onely Iesus Christ If they had sacred signes to represent actually and really the future death of Iesus Christ even as we retaine sacred signes of his present or past death they for the future we for that which is past why did the Missalians invent this new magicke to convert an holy Sacrament ordained by God into a magicke of transubstantiation and into an accident without substance Against miracles alleaged by the Missalians Exod. 7. Exod. 8. Exod. 14. If God to approve his power and to manifest the hardnesse obstinacy of Pharaoh was pleased to performe wonderfull things by Moses and Aaron by converting a Rod into a Serpent water of the river into blood and into frogs the dust of the earth into lice and then to make the navigable sea dry performing many other miracles can we by this infer a transubstantiation of the little round azimall host printed with images into an accident without a substance In what place of the holy Scriptures when mention is made of sacred signes and Sacraments or sacrifices ordained by God is it said that the signe or sacrament was transubstantiated But on the contrary Gods will accommodating it selfe to mans infirmity he ordained from time to time common signes for notes

wine to give us to understand that our life and saving nutriment depended onely on Iesus Christ and that by his death and bloodshed we have assurance of eternall life even as Bread and Wine serve for corporall nourishment and that he meant and ordained these sacred signes to bee to us for Sacraments to approve and confirme our faith Did he determin we should hereby Capernice and Nicodemize to enquire or make doubt of Gods power how it is possible to eate the body or drinke the blood of Iesus Christ how we can possibly be regenerated and borne anew Seeing the promise was made unto us by the word wherefore have you O Missalians conceived a carnall taansubstantion destrusting in the incomprehensible power of God May it not suffice you simply to beleeve that the body blood of Iesus Christ was really and sacramentally offered to communicate thereof for our spirituall nourishment and to grant us eternall life through the Bread and Wine consecrated with giving of thankes the Bread being truely his Body the Wine his Blood which we must worthily receive by faith puritie of cōscience as sacred signes markes of the divine Caracter without searching too subtilly after the meanes other then the plaine interpretation of Iesus Christ that the flesh profits not but the spirit quickens and that his words are spirit and life Should we doubt whether God hath power by the symboles of Bread Wine consecrated to make us communicate of the bodie and blood of Iesus Christ though the bread remaine bread the wine wine If it were other wise this could be no Sacrament but rather called a Miracle As when Iesus Christ converted the water into wine Iohn 2. hee then used the miracle of transubstantitation changing the water into wine but hee ordained not this for a Sacrament as hee did the communion of his body and blood by the sacred figures of bread and wine Was it not also as easie for God to change the wine into blood Exod. 4.7.8 or the bread into flesh as for Moses and Aaron to change the water of the River into blood to confirme the hardnes of Pharaohs heart or when the clouds were turned into the flesh of Quailes Exod. 16. that rained upon the people of Israel Neverthelesse God did not ordaine that these miracles should serve for ordinarie Sacraments but herein he applyed himselfe to our infirmitie exhibiting to us sacred but not transubstantiated signes yet are not vaine nor fantasticall but signs externall that we may behold touch eate and taste remaining still in their substance and neverthelesse they represent sacramentally what is by them comprehended and intimated wherein consists the approbation of our faith to manifest by a sacramentall worke and ministration that we are in the number of the regenerate and sustained by the holy Sacraments of Baptisme and the Supper CHAP. XXII Comparison betweene the two holy Sacraments IF wee may presume to make comparison of the two holy Sacraments of Baptisme and of the Supper Comparison of the two holy Sacraments though there bee a difference betweene it and regeneration which is not reiterated For it sufficeth that wee be once regenerate and begotten a new but this spirituall nutriment is often renued according to the course of nature and other differences very amply described by the holy Apostles and Ministers of Gods Word Nothwithstāding the same end the same Iesus Christ is represented as well in Baptisme as in the Supper Tit. 3. Iohn 3.6 By the Blood of Iesus Christ wee are regenerated by the same Blood nourished By the Blood of Iesus Christ wee are renued sett and engraffed and by the same Blood wee are entertained Rom. 11. Iohn 6. Gal. 3. Ephes 4. and preserved from hongring or thirsting for ever By the Blood of Iesus Christ wee cast of our old corrupt skin put on his body from which likewise wee receive nourishment eternall life By the Blood of Iesus Christ wee have accesse and entry into the Kingdome of Heaven And by the same Blood wee have fruition of the same Kingdome In this sense the holy Apostle testifieth that wee were all baptized by the vertue of the Holy Spirit 1. Cor. 19. 1. Cor. 10. and wee all likewise drunke of the same spirituall drinke given unto us by Iesus Christ Be not these comparisons drawne out of the holy Scriptures to witnesse that Iesus Christ is the onely aime and scope whereto wee must tend both in Baptisme and the holy Supper If therefore that the signes of sacramentall water in Baptisme and Bread and Wine in the Supper of Iesus Christ are sacred Signes Earnests Gages Hostages Symboles Seales and Sacraments instituted by God for an assurance and approbation of our faith Against the Missalians Wherefore O Missalians seeing you have invented a Magicke of transubstantiation for the Sacrament of the Supper why did you not likewise with the same Magicke sophisticate the Sacrament of Baptisme Why have you not constituted that sacramentall water after it is by you exorcis'd and conjur'd with salt to repell devels to be transubstantiated into the blood of Iesus Christ the water being no more water but an accident without substance as you have forged by the bread and wine What difference doe you assigne but Sophistries Sophismes and Missalian subtilties If you persevere in your heresie Iohn 3.4.7 Tit. 3. Gal. 3. by reason of this word est This word is also used in the water of Baptisme which is termed renovation and regeneration it is named the Holy Spirit and the Vestment by and with which wee are revested renued and regenerated in the blood of Iesus Christ Seeing therefore you acknowledg O Missalians that you could never yet meet with a second Berengarius to institute another Decree of a Palinody for the extending of your Magicall transubstantiation to the sacred water of Baptisme and by the same meanes likewise to transubstantiate your lustrall Flegme Spittle your Oyle your Creames Against the corrupters of Baptisme your Salt and other Drugges wherewith you you have corrupted the holy Sacrament of Baptisme why are you so inveterate and obdurate in your Pompilian Religion as to hale Iesus Christ from the right hand of his Father to make him in body and blood to descend by your muttered Magick like another Jupiter Elicius before the day preordained for his second comming I may well propound unto you the similitude of the Sunne Luk. 1. Mal. 4. Comparison of the Sun to Iesus Christ which 〈◊〉 the Martyr used in his Treatise of the Exposition of faith chap. 2 A notable comparison of the Sun utterly to confute the erroneous doctrine of Transubstantiation called by some Apostles the Sunne of Righteousnes Iesus Christ because light comes from Heaven by this luminous glorious sphericall Planet and so spirituall light is exhibited to us by Iesus Christ who out of the night and darknesse of sinne hath
