sauiour Iesus christ as the nature of sacramentes is to be called with the name of the thynges whyche they doe signifye that there by mens myndes myght be wythdrawne from the consyderacyon of sensyble and visible thynges to thynges heauenly whych they doe sygnyfye and represente And theyr care and crying vnto the people was to receaue it and therfore they made decrees that such as woulde not receaue and be present should be sparred out of the churche O how ernest was Chrysostō herein Reade hys 61. homilye vnto the people of Antioche But after that thys decree and doctryne of transubstanciacion came in no crying out hath ther been to receaue it no that is the prerogatyue of the pryestes and shauen shorelynges but altogether the ende of their crying out was as now to beleue transubstanciacion Chryste to bee there fleshe bloud and bone at euerye aulter betwene euerye pryestes handes yea in euerye pryestes mouth whan it pleaseth them bee they neuer so stynkyng fylthy sodomites adulterers dron kardes blasphemers dycers c. The crying and teachyng of the cleargy cōtinually hath bene to beeleue transubstanciacion and then to come to church to se their maker once a dai to hold vp their handes to knock on their brests to streke theyr faces to mutter vp theyr laten prayers to tak holy water and holy bread to lyue in obedyence to the holy father and holye churche hys spouse Thys was all they required Drinke dice carde fight swere steale lye no mater so that in y ● mornyng they see theyr God all is well good catholyke people no man shall hurt them or persecute them But if any man shold not alowe nor worshippe this god of theyr makig although he lyued a most godly life and were a man ful of charitie sobrietye and very religious Oh such is an heretike or schismatyke Nothynge coulde please these wolfes but euen the bloud and lyfe of suche a poore shepe as men haue felte beefore and now begynne to fele Let al the packe of them burden those iustlye whom nowe they imprison and cause to flye the realme of any other thynge then onelye of this that we wyll not serue their god of bread wyne And then wyll we suffer shame But I haue bene to long herein Now to our doctryne and belef for the second poynt concerning Chrystes sacryfice The. 7.

Chapters this is most liuely ser forth how that by one oblacion once offred by this Christ himselfe all that be gods people are sanctified For as in respecte of them that dyed in gods couenaunte and eleccion before Christ suffred his death offered his sacrifice one alone and omnisufficient neuer more to be offred he is called the lambe slayne frō the begynning of the world and the one alone mediator betwene god and man whose forth commyng was frō the begynnyng Euen so in respect of the vertue and efficacie of this one sacrifice to al gods people continually vnto the worlds ende the holy ghoste doeth tell vs that therby he hath made holy suche as be children of saluacion And sayth not shall make holy or doth make holye leste any manne shoulde wyth the papistes in dede reiterate thys sacrifice agayne Although in wordes they saye otherwyse as anone we shall see if herevnto I shewe you the meane whereby to applye thys sacrifice whyche I wil do verye brefely For in the. 17. of S. John our sauiour doth very playnly shew thys in these wordes for theyr sakes sayeth he I sanctyfye my selfe that they also myghte bee sanctyfyed through the trueth I praye not for them alone but for those also whych shal beleue on me throughe theyr preaching Here our sauiour applyeth hys sacrifice in teachynge and prayeng for them And as he teacheth them as ministers to doe the like that is to preache and praye for the applycacyon of hys sacryfyce to y ● churche so doeth he teache them and al the churche to applye it vnto themselues by beleuyng it and by fayth The whyche thing the Apostle S. Paule in manye places but most playnlye in the seconde to the Corinthyans the fift chapter in the later end doth teache Reade it and se So that now as ye haue Chrystes one only sacrifice whych he hymselfe on the crosse offred once as sufficient for all that doe beleue and neuer more to bee reiterated so haue you that for the applyinge of it to hys church the ministers shoulde preache and praye that theyr preachyng myght be effectuall in Chryst And as Paul was ready him selfe to suffer death for the confirmacion of the fayth of the elect so shoulde the churche and eueri member of the same which is of yeares of discrecion by beleuyng in Chryste throughe the ministers preachyng apply it to themselues As for infauntes I nede not in thys case to speake of godes eleccion It is moste certayne Thys kynde of applyinge as it killeth y ● papistical priests whych hate not the deuil worse then true preachyng so doeth it cast down al their soale massing and foolish foundaciōs for such as be dead and past the ministerie of godes worde And also it pulleth awaye the opinion of opus operatū and of perseuerāce in impietie from such as would enioye the benefite of Chrystes death The. 8.
