A16370	A treatyse of ye ryght honourynge and wourshyppyng of our sauiour Iesus Christe in the sacrame[n]t of breade and wyne when it is ministred wyth thankes geuing at the holy supper: sette forth by Rycharde Bonner priest, in ye yeare of our lord god. M. CCCCC xlviii. and the .xii. of Nouember.	Bonner, Richard.	1548 (1548)	STC 3287; ESTC S110945	54,307	174

folowe this abuse not knowynge any better but beynge seduced by their pastors that do they not as the membres of Iesu Christe and of his churche The meÌ„bres of the churche may wel â—â—re but not as the meÌ„bres of Christe but as they are vnperfite and ignorauÌ„t persons which ignoraunce god oure heauenlye father for his sonnes sake Iesu Christ shal forgeue them withal their other offences lyke as he doth forgeue vs our dayly synnes also when so euer they or we do repent Â¶ But for an excuse of this cloked holynesse the Pope sayeth further it can be none abuse nor anye euell thyng what so euer is of good deuotion done to the honoure of God and to the hauynge of hys sacramentes in hygher reuerence Â¶ The aunswere Thys were verye well spoken yf all men knewe truely what good deuotion were Whyche doutlesse can be in nothynge where Goddes worde and commaundement is not King Vzia did of a good deuotioÌ„ as he thought saue certaine of the best catle which he toke froÌ„ his enemies ii para xxviii to do sacrifice vnto the lord with all for the great victory he had geueÌ„ hym And yet bycause it was not according to gods coÌ„mauÌ„demeÌ„t that he so did he was puinished for it And therefore we maye not loke what we thynke to be good deuotioÌ„ vse it but we muste couÌ„te that the best deuotion which doth most agree with gods coÌ„mauÌ„demeÌ„tes Wherfore let vs count this to be theÌ„ chiefe honouryng of this sacrament to receyue it with such a pure faith as causeth both repentaunce for our former synnes a good purpose to amende theym agayne to sprynge forth in vs. Well thus haue we proued that this sacramente oughte not to be reserued for to be corporally wourshypped also as the Arke was And as thys was a great abuse to sette vp the sacrament or to carye it aboute in processyons for to haue it corporally wourshypped without the presentyng of it to be corporally receyued sayinge ones in the yeare onely so was thys no lesse abuse to receyue it than neyther but in one kynde onelye And that this was also an abuse consydre fyrste that it muste nedes be graunted to be an abuse to alter anye of Goddes ordinaunces otherwise than he vsed them himselfe To vse any thing otherwyse than the lorde hath coÌ„mauÌ„ded is an abuse and coÌ„maunded them to be vsed of other Now is it plaine and of al men confessed that the lorde in hys fyrst souper dyd coÌ„municate the sacrament in both kyndes vnto his disciples commaundyng them also to do the same that he himselfe had done before them The whiche commaundemeÌ„t was obserued and the sacrameÌ„t in both kyndes coÌ„municated for longe tyme in the church after Christ yea and it hath bene alwayes vsed to thys daye in Ethiopia and Gretia And how it came to passe that men of late dayes dyd vse to receiue it thus in one kynde only we fynde no good testimony Wher by we iudge it to haue crept in by the negligence of priestes and pastors But seyng the Lorde hath ordeyned the breade to be the sacrameÌ„t of his bodye for it selfe and the wyne to be the sacrament of his blode we ought to speake of them as he hath ordeyned them and none otherwyse The lorde hath appointed these wordes to be mynistred by the breade take eate thys is my bodye whyche shal be geuen for you And these to be ministred by the cuppe take drinke thys cuppe is the newe testament in my bloude whych shal be shedde for you and for many to the remission of synnes And wherfore wyll we then be wyser then Christ hath taught vs in sayinge the breade alone is the body and blode of Christ and the cuppe the blode and body in dede in hym selfe the lorde hath his body and bloude inseperable and geueth them to vs holly together and vndeuided Yet as he hath ordeyned the breade for the distributyng of hys bodye and the cuppe for the geuing forth of his bloude so ought we to vse them to speake of them wyth out any further reasonyng Â¶ But for the ministring of the sacrament in one kynde onely and for the mayntenaunce of all other abuses contrarye to goddes coÌ„maundementes the Pope is wont to bryng in thys reason The churche hath in all outwarde thynges power to dyspose and ordre as they shall thinke best and therfore thei may kepe this ordynaunce of receyuyng the sacrameÌ„t in one kynde onely yf they shal thynke it good The aunswere The holy churche of Christ beynge grouÌ„ded wyth his spirite Who be the church of christ what is their authoritie hath doutlesse power to ordre dyspose all outward thynges in tyme place measure and maner so farre forth as the same may make to the encrease of godlynesse amongest the people that is to say deuote people both of the clergye layte maye ordre and dyspose the tyme place that gods wourde and the holye sacramentes shall be mynistred in and they maye ordre the maner measure and tyme of praying together in the church appoint the daye and tyme when the coÌ„mune faste shal be obserued of all the people together In al these thinges hath the hole church of Christe ful authoritie and power to dispose that the thynges myght so muche the better for suche appointing of tyme place measure and maner be obserued and holden as Christ hath commaunded them that is to saye that men myght the more coÌ„ueniently by the appointing of suche a place and tyme heare the worde of God and receyue the sacramentes and the more quyetly come to the ende that fasting and prayer was ordeyned for Out of the whych grounde the church hath euen from the begynnyng made ordinaunces both for the worde and sacrameÌ„tes and also for other godly exercises As for thys sacrament that men shulde receiue it fasting in the morning yf necessitie dyd not otherwyse requyre bycause that tyme semed and is as euery man wel knoweth more mete for the styrrynge vp of deuotyon and earnest godlynesse than is the tyme after we haue eaten oure full And further seynge that the commynge together to the Lordes souper is the godlyest and moste holsome worke that one of vs maye exercise vse with another so hath the church thoughte it good and to the furtheraunce of muche deuocyon that it shoulde be holden in a place bothe seuerall from all other and also with out the vsing of any worldly businesse with it as not onely saint Paule i. Cor. x. but all the hole coÌ„gregation of Christ also ordeyned that meÌ„ shulde kepe none other feast in the churche when they wolde go vnto the table of the Lorde but it alone Also seyng that Christ hath not shewed by expresse coÌ„maundement what praiers of thankes geuyng or what other godlye instructions he woulde haue vsed at hys holy souper and dyd yet vse it hym selfe with great plentie of theÌ„ both therfore ought

the church of Christ to descrybe some godlye forme and manner of geuynge instructions vnto the people before they come vnto the receyuynge of so hyghe a mysterye The churche that is to saye the deuoute people both of the Magistrates and clergye in euerye countre shall prouyde for them selues that all thynges be done after a decent ordre and of rendryng thankes vnto god for it after they haue receyued it Wherefore this is the hole authoritie and power that the church hath in the worde and sacramentes and other of goddes ordynaunces that they maye thus and shall with all their diligence bothe aswel the Prynces and Magistrates theÌ„ selues as the ministers of the worde ordre and dyspose them so in tyme place measure and maner that the people therby myght not only haue the more deuocion to vse them with al feare and reuereÌ„ce but also come the better to the same ende and purpose of them that they were ordeyned for of god The churche hath no authoritie to take away any of the sacramentes no more thaÌ„ it can forbidde vs to fast or pray But to chauÌ„ge them vnto any other fashyon as this sacrament was chaunged from the corporal receiuing of it into a lokinge glasse or to leaue them vtterly vndone lyke as men had left the receiuyng of the cuppe in the holy souper that authorite hath no man tyll Christ whiche is the ende that they lead vs vnto come hym selfe For it can be called no right orderynge or dysposynge of the sacrameÌ„tes to the encreasing of any godlinesse amoÌ„gest the people for to take theÌ„ cleane away no more than it can be called a right ordering of our prayers to say we wyll praye trewly with our hertes though we do wylfully leaue out the praier of the mouthe also Wherfore it must nedes be an abuse to receiue the sacrameÌ„t in one kinde only other wise than god hath ordeyned it Moreouer that we ought to receyue thys sacrament in both kyndes maye well be perceyued in that the lorde hym selfe after he had takeÌ„ the cuppe into his haÌ„des geuen thaÌ„kes reached it vnto his disciples dyd that with great feruentnesse and wyth more playne and comfortable wordes expresse our redemtioÌ„ and coÌ„munion in him by the cuppe then he dyd by the breade or by any other sacrament For at baptyme he coÌ„maunded no more to be said then I baptise the in the name of the father the sonne and the holy goost And at the ministryng of the breade of thankes geuyng no more then take eate thys is my bodye whyche shal be geuen for you But at the ministring of the cuppe he sayd commaunded other in his name to saye take drynke thys cuppe is the new testament in my blode whych shal be shedde for you and for many vnto the remission of synnes Beholde good reader howe comfortable a gospell our sauiour Christe hathe ordeyned thys sacrament of wyne to expresse Wherfore it maye well be called the moste holy and comfortablest sacrament of all other The cup is the most coÌ„fortable sacrament For seyng it is the worde when it is mynistred by the creature that maketh the creature to be a sacrament so doth it doutlesse folowe that so muche the more comfortable as the wordes are when they are ministred so muche the greater is the sacrameÌ„t that ministreth them And therfore no christeÌ„ man yea no aungell from heaueÌ„ oughte to haue taken awaye from the weake synfull flocke of Christ this moste comfortable sacrament specially seyng the lorde hymselfe coÌ„maunded it to be vsed also wyth so great feruentnesse Wherfore he that wolde wyth holde thys sacrament of wyne from the people in the holy souper shulde as much as in him lyeth kepe from theym the ministration of this holy ghospell that Christe hathe shedde hys moste precyous blode for them For althoughe we do in dede receiue euen the same thynge before by the breade when it doeth ministre vnto vs the bodye of Christe that we do afterwarde when we receyue the cup whiche ministreth vnto vs his blod yet as he that loseth the profyte of them bothe agayne whiche wyll not for all thys geue hymselfe wyth all dylygence vnto faste prayer almosse dedes and all other Godlye exercyses but wylfully foloweth the workes of the fleshe so doeth he lose the profyte that he had receyued before by the breade whiche ministred vnto him the bodye of Christe that wylfullye wyll refuse to receyue the wyne whiche shoulde also mynister vnto him his blode Wherefore yf it be an abuse to neglecte gods commaundementes when oportunite serueth vs to obey the same than muste it nedes be a great abuse to refuse the receyuyng of the holy cuppe of thankes geuyng wheÌ„ it is ministred in the holy souper But bycause meÌ„ shuld not so greatly passe vpon the trew receyuing of this holy sacrament of the body and blod of Christ ether in one kynde or in both the pope was wont to bring in this argument chiefly Â¶ This sacrament of the bodye and blode of Christe sayeth he maye aswel be receyued spiritually by callynge to remembraunce that Christ hath dyed for vs when we do but loke vpon it as it maye be outwardely though we shoulde receyue it ones in the yere outwardely also Â¶ The aunswere To saye that the sacrament may aswell be receyued spiritually as it maye be corporallye or outwardlye muste nedes be a wonderful saying For turne it what waye ye wyll and it shal be yet holly agaynst Christ his manifest coÌ„maundement For yf ye vnderstande by the spirituall receyuynge of this sacrament that it muste be receyued in trew fayth The sacrament was instituted to be receyued both corporally and spiritually but yet corporally also then is that the onely receyuyng of it accordyng to goddes spirituall ordinaunce and none other But yf you vnderstande your saying of suche a spirituall receyuyng of thys sacra as is wyth out the corporall receyuyng of it also so can not that be the receyuyng of it according to goddes spiritual ordinaunce For he gaue the bread vnto hys disciples and commaunded them to take and eate it that corporally also and in like maner gaue he them the cuppe to drynke And therfore as it is manyfestly agaynst the coÌ„mauÌ„dement of Christ to make a gasynge stocke of the sacrament not to receiue it in saying thou canst call asmuche to mynde when thou doest but se it as the Lorde hath ordeyned to put into thy minde by the corporall receyuyng of it after hys moste louyng and spirituall institution so is there no spirituall receyuyng of this sacrament but to take it corporally with suche a spirit and fayth as styrreth vs both to repentaunce for our synnes past To receyue the spirit of god in the sacrameÌ„t wheÌ„ we receyue it corporally what it is and also to amende them agayne by the humble folowyng of hys lawes And yet for the mayntenaunce of a spirituall receyuyng
