them euer to weare a shauen crowne 21 Christ instituted in his holy testament two Misteries or Sacramentes that is to say Baptisme and the Lords Supper whiche he added to his worde as Signes and Seales of his good wil vnto vs that thei might be the same to the eye that the worde is to the eare and so ioyned together thorowe the operation of the holy ghoste bryng saluation too the faithfull beleuers Antichrist not content with so small a number hath added fiue moe so that now they be seuen in number which are more openly knowen than they neede here to be rehearsed 22 Christe as concernyng the outward Ministerie ordained the Sacramente of Baptisme to consiste of the worlde and of the water Antichriste not content with so slender furniture hath added many thinges as the Exorcismes or Coniurations of the deuill out of the childe salte spittle crossing halowyng of the Fonte candleburnyng with diuerse other toyes 23 Christ at the institution of the sacrament of his bodie and bloud vsed only the worde bread and wine Antichrist mingleth Wine and water together in his ministration and miserably handleth the words of the institution 24 Christe appointed his holie Supper to bee a Sacrament that is to saie an holie signe of his bodie and bloud Antichriste saieth plainely that the Lordes Supper is not onely a Sacramente and holie signe of Christes bodie and bloud but it is also the thyng it self that is Christes naturall body and bloud with as good reason as though a manne should saie that the Iuiebushe whiche hangeth before the Tauerne is not onely a signe that there is Wine to sell but also that it is the Wine it self Notwithstandyng whosoeuer denieth thys hys Doctrine muste needes bee counted an Heretike and iudged to bee burned at a stake 25 Christe makyng the breade and wine Sacramentes and holie signes of his bodie and bloud altered not the substaunces of that holie breade and holie wine but thei remained in their olde nature substaunce and propertie as tofore Antichriste teacheth in his dotyng and Deuilishe Decree that after the woordes of consecration This is my bodie This is my blood there remaineth no substaunce of breade and wine but the substaunce of breade is tourned miraculously by the vertue of cōsecratyng wordes into the substaunce of Christes naturall bodie and the substaunce of the wine into the substaunce of Christes naturall bloud the accidentes of breade and wine onely remainyng without their proper substaunces O prodigious and monsterous doctrine 26 Christ ordained his holy Supper to be a remembraunce of the sacrifice which he offred on the alter of the Crosse for the redemption of the worlde that when wee behold the Sacramental bread and wine broken and shed we should call to remembraunce that Christes body was broken and his bloud shead for the remission of our sinnes as he hymselfe saieth Dooe this in remembraunce of mee Item the Apostle So ofte as ye shall eate of thys Bread or drinke of this Cup ye shall remembre the Lordes death till he come Antichrist teacheth that it is not only a remembraunce of the Sacrifice but also the Sacrifice it self of the same dignity might and power 27 Christ ordained that all that bee partakers of his holy Supper shoulde not onely eate of the Mistery of his body but also drinke of the mistery of his bloud Antichrist taketh away f●om the Communion of the Laity yea and of the Spiritualty also except they Masse it themselues and make Gods body the Cup of the mistery of Christes bloud contrary to the commaundement of Christe and contrarie too the practise of the Primatiue Churhe 28 Christe bicause he would take awaie his naturall bodye from the yearth and place it vntill the day of iudgement in the glorious kingdome of his heauenly Father ordained the Sacrament of thankesgiuyng to be a memoriall of the same Antichrist teacheth plainly that whersoeuer the consecrate hoaste is though it be in infinite places there is also the body of Christe euen the ●●ry same body of Christe that was borne of Mary the Uirgin hanged on the altare of the Crosse. He saieth moreouer that the sacred hoast beyng whole is but the body of Christe and the same hoaste beyng broken in an hundred peeces euery parcell thereof although neuer so little is but the body of Christe euen as he hanged on the Crosse. O doctrine more than twise monstrous 29 Christe in his holy woorde teacheth that the Sacramentall Bread and wine should bee eaten and dronken in the remembraunce of his body breakyng and bloudshedyng Antichrist commaundeth that the Sacrament should be heaued and lifted vp aboue the priestes head that it may be worshipped of the people hanged vp in the Pixe caried about in solemne Procession in pompes and vayne pastymes 30 Christ teacheth that the next waye to heauen is to repent vs of our former life and to beleue the Gospell Antichrist saieth that the rediest waie vnto saluation is to bye his Pardons to put on a Grayfryers Coule to purchase certaine Masses of Scala celi to truste in the praiers and intercessions of sainctes to bye the Suffrages of the Churche to prouide to bee partaker of the Monkes praiers watchinges fastinges vowes deuotions c. 31 Christ declareth in his heauenly doctrine that there is no satisfaction too God the father for our synnes but onely his helthfull and most precious death Antichrist saieth that the woorkes of penaunce do satisfy the diuine iustice and appeace his wrath kindled against vs for synne 32 Christ declareth in his doctrine that when we haue offended our heauenly Father and gone astraye from the pathes of his holy commaundementes we shoulde conuert and tourne vnto hym and make our hūble confession vnto hym and craue forgiuenesse of our synnes at his hande for his sonne Christ Iesus sake Antichrist sendeth vs vnto his Priestes commaunding vs to publish and confesse our synnes vnto hym and take penaunce and absolution at his hande with this faithe that so doyng we are forgiuen and deliuered from all synne 33 Christ saith that whosoeuer beleueth on hym although he were dead yet shall hee liue ascribyng oure iustification and righteous makyng to faithe alone Antichrist teacheth that not by faithe alone but by faith hope charity and workes together we are iustified when notwithstandyng the Apostle saieth that we are iustified by faithe without the workes of the lawe And the greatest parte of the auncient writers ascribe iustification to faith alone without workes 34 Christ by the Apostle saith that faith worketh by loue signifiyng here by that faith is the mother of charitie and that charitie issueth and floweth out of faithe as the small riuers out of the great and mayne fountaines Antichrist saith that faith is wrought by Charitie and
The Actes of Christe and of Antichriste concernyng bothe their life and doctrine diligently gathered and now taken out of his workes by Thomas Becon 2. Corin. 6. ¶ What fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse Or what cōpanie hath light with darkenesse Or what concorde hath Christ with Beliall Or what parte hath he that beleueth with an Infidell The Actes of Christ and Antichriste concernyng bothe their life and doctrine Of their life FIrste Christe as touchyng his deitie is the true and naturall Sonne of the liuyng and immortall God and as cōcernyng his humainitie he is the true and naturall Soonne of Marie the Uirgine Antichrist bothe bodie and soule is the childe of wrathe and the Sonne of perdition yea and that synfull man whiche is an aduersarie to God and all godlinesse to Christ and to all christianitie 2 Christe beyng borne brought into the worlde greate ioye high peace and euerlastyng saluation as the Aungell saied to the Shepheardes Beholde I bryng you tidynges of greate ioy whiche shall come to all people For vnto you is borne this daie in the Citee of Dauid a Sauiour whiche is Christe the Lorde Again Glory be to God on hie and peace on the yearth and vnto God a good will. Antichrist beyng borne bringeth with him not ioy but greef of minde not peace but trouble of bodie not Saluation but plaine distructiō bothe of bodie and soule to so many as embrace hym 3 Christ when he should be borne could haue no roume in the Iune and therefore was borne in a Stable and beyng wrapped in poore and homely swadlyng cloutes he was laied in a maunger Antichrist before he bee borne hath a gorgious richely apparelled house prepared for him with all suche furniture as becōmeth suche a wicked worldlyng 4 Christ when he was borne was not ioyfully receiued of the worlde no not of thē to whom he was promised sent but rather hated persecuted moste cruelly Antichrist beeyng borne is moste tenderly embraced loued kissed and coulled and in all pointes warely kepte and circumspectly attēded that no greef or misfortune chaunce vnto hym so deare is he to the children of this worlde 5 Christ when accordyng to his age he ought to haue been bothe tenderly and quietly norished was compelled through the crueltie of Tyrauntes to bee caried from countrey to countrey and yet hardly founde he reste at any tyme so in all pointes did the Crosse followe hym euen from the verie cradle as thei vse to saie Antichrist is bothe delicately and tenderly fostered and brought vp without al noise and disquietnesse All Epicures and worldlynges delight in hym Thei seeke to pleasure hym He is free at all tymes from all Crosse. 6 Christ when he was borne had little resorte vnto hym for to releeue his poore and miserable state beside the Shepheardes and the wise men of the Easte with a verie fewe other Antichrist hath the whole worlde flockyng to hym which cease not to giue and offer vnto hym greate precions giftes although otherwise ouerflowyng with the aboundance of all thynges 7 Christ beyng but twelue yeres of age was studious of Goddes worde and so desirous of the knowledge thereof that forgettyng his carnall freendes and their companie he remained in the Temple of Salomon at Ierusalem sittyng in the middes of the Doctours hearyng them and posyng them Antichriste hateth the knowledge of Goddes worde and so many as fauour it forasmuche as it is contrarie to his filthy will and beastly pleasure and deliteth only in that doctrine whiche serueth his voluptuous appetite 8 Christe was obediente to Marie his mother and to Ioseph her houseband shewyng hereby a good example of submission and obedience to all children Antichrist will obeye no man but rule ouer all men giuyng hereby an example of pride and disobedience to all men 9 Christe as some affirme from the tyme of twelue yeres of age till he was thirtie yere old accompanied Ioseph his Mothers housebande whiche was a Carpenter by his occupation and laboured diligently in that arte by this meanes gettyng his liuyng with the trauaile of his hādes and with the sweate of his browes accordyng to the commaundemente of his heauenly Father giuyng a good example in this behalf to all that professe his name that none in a Christian Common weale ought to liue idlely but euery manne woorke some good thyng that he maie haue not onely whereof to liue hym self but also to giue vnto the needie And hereof commeth it that Christe is called a Carpenter in the Scripture Antichrist is altogether otherwise affected For he vseth no exercise that godly and profitable is but liueth altogether idlely of the labour of other mennes handes and of the sweate of other mennes browes contrary to the commaundemēt of God beyng in deede a verie vnprofitable clod of the yearth And as he hym self is estraunged from all Godlie and vertuous exercises So likewise doeth he enfraunchise and make free from all worke and laboure all his spirituall smered shauelynges appointyng thē not to preache the woorde of God nor to administer the Sacramente of Christe purely and sincerely accordyng to Christes Institution but to saie Mattens Masse and Euensong and to sette forthe his ordinaunces and decrees c. that thei maie seem at the least to doe somewhat although that somwhat in deede be nothyng 10 Christ as he prospered in age so likewise did he in wisedome and fauour with God and men Antichriste the older he waxeth the worse he is hated both of God and of all Godly men 11 Christ disdained not to bee Baptised of Iohn Baptiste a poore man and a priestes sonne Antichrist will haue nothing ministred vnto hym but of great princes mightie prelates and such as be famous honourable and of greate glory in the worlde As for poore menne hee regardeth not and as touchyng the lawfull children of priestes he can by no meanes abyde them as a matter condempned in his deuilishe decrees and Luciferlike lawes 12 Christe although sente doune for that purpose tooke not on hym the office of preaching till he was openly called of his heauenly father hauing his vocation confirmed by a visible signe of the holy ghost which came doune from heauen vpō hym in the likenesse of a Doue Antichrist thrusteth hymselfe in the ministery without any certaine callyng yea and that not to doe good whiche is contrary to his nature but to doe euill euen to corrupt the congregation of God with his pestilente doctrine and corrupte maners and vnfruitfully to eate the Milke of the sheepe and to bee apparelled with their wolle by this meanes defraudyng both the true Ministers and also the pore members of Christ of their liuyng being of the number of them of whom God by the Prophet speaketh on this maner I spake not vnto theym and they prophecied
