and Blood hath not revealed but the Father hath revealed that Rock which his Church is built upon by his Power and by his Spirit they stand sure Glory be to God forever And whereas you bring Matt. 26. vers 26 27 28. and compare it to John 6.5 This you do bring to prove your Sacrament of the Alter and your christ and godd that is made of Bread and Wine which is to no purpose at all for that of John 6. where Christ saith Your Fathers did eat Manna in the Wilderness but are dead So you have eaten your godd that you have made with Bread and Wine and are dead But Christ is the true Bread which comes down from Heaven for Bread comes from the Corn and Wine from the Grape and that comes from below but he that eateth this Bread that comes dow from Heaven shall live for ever c. he that doth eat Christs Flesh and drink his Blood doth not eat it Figuratively but they eat it Really if they have life in him And Christs Flesh is not Wafers nor his Blood is not outward Wine that comes from the Grape but Christ saith His words are Spirit and Life the Flesh profitteth nothing for it is the Spirit that quickeneth Therefore you are darker then the Jews and cannot receive Christs words but judge them carnally as they did And for your old Fathers Talk or Story that proves nothing to us but is like your own Fables And as for that 1 Cor. 11.28 proves nothing as for you that make a christ and a godd of Bread and Wine for they wrote That they were to take it in Remembrance of Christ and if a Remembrance of him then it was not he Have you lost your Reason If thou doest any thing in Remembrance of a man if it be the man what doest thou it in Rememembrance of him He saith As often as you do this do it in Remembrance of Christ as often as you eat this Bread And so both the Bread and the Cup was left unto them as Often not Alwayes for they were to injoy Christ Jesus And he said he would come and dwell in them and so had it been he Christ it had been Non-sence and Ridiculous to say in Remembrance of him when it was he What silly reasoning is this And you do shew forth his Death till he come so saith he Till he come Mark then it is not he it is not Christ for if he is to come it is not the same Christ as was offered up upon the Cross if he be risen and he is to come So you have been all the unworthy Eaters and Drinkers and not discern Christ nor his Body who have put your Bread and Wine for the Body of Christ and so have eaten and drunk your own Damnation not discerning the Lords Body and therefore you are Sick and Weak and asleep in your Sins That which is done in a Shew is it not a Figure or a Shaddow And a Shaddow mu●t be done away when the Substance is come And people must come to dye with Christ and be buried with him if they live with him and not alwayes eating 1 Cor. 11. and drinking in Remembrance of him Bread and Wine and they must Suffer with him and Dye with him and be Buried with him and Rise with him now if you be risen with Christ you seek those things that come from above for Bread Water and Wine is from be●ow For Christ saith I am the Door doth not be And he is the Way he is the Vine and he is a Rock and a Stone And is Christ an outward Stone an outward Vine outward Bread and outward Water an outward Door an outward Rock If thou interpretest the one interpret the other and confute thy self which is enough to confute all your whole counterfeit Church People may eat and drink natural bread and natural wine without Damnation to themselves But surely the Bread and the Wine which you say is Christ and his Blood and his Flesh and the whole christ a Wafer or sup of Wine or a piece of Bread any Drunkard or Prophane Man or Woman that is can see it with their outward Eyes but to say that to be Christ his Flesh and his Blood that came down from Heaven which came from the Grape and from the Corn thou wouldst make people believe as the Phylosopher That Snow is Black and the Sun abroad Plate of Mettal And your Confecrations makes your Wafers and Bread no more Christ then it was before nor God for it is Blasphemy in you to say That Wafers or a little Bread or Wine is God You have made many godds and eaten them and drunk them but except your simple people had been inchanted and so you make them believe it to be God but we are over your Inchantments and in that which will Grind you to Powder and we know that Christ hath given his Flesh for the Life of the World that is a Mystery to you that make Christs of Bread and Wine Moreover you say That the Body of Christ was given for to redeem our Sins upon the Cross which Body he gave to his Disciples at his Last Supper c. Answ People did you ever hear the like What silly Logick or Rhetorick is this It seems the Apostles eat Christs Body and drunk his Blood then what Body had Christ to offer upon the Cross Had he two Bodies for he saith He redeemed their Sins with his Body upon the Cross and before he saith He had given his Body to his Disciples and they did eat it after Supper What Non-sence and Confusion is this It may well be called Mystery Babylon the Mother of Harlots that taught him such a Lesson After the Disciples had eaten his Body and drunk his Blood when he went to be offered up upon the Cross which he saith His Body was offered up upon the Cross for the redeeming of their sins Did you ever hear such Doctrine Did Christ come to redeem the Sins of people You read of the true Doctrine that the Apostles came to turn people from Darkness to Light but you never heard of such a Doctrine Sin is of the Devil Did Christ come to Redeem the Devil Nay He came to destroy the Works of the Devil and to Redeem People from Sin See what gross Delusion and blind Ignorance appears here from this Seditious Sect of Papists and these that stile themselves Masters of Arts The Papists say The same Body that suffered upon the Cross the Apostles eat and upon this their Salvation hangs Now if the Apostles had eaten it and drunk his Blood then what Body had he to offer Or see what Salvation these people have which hang upon the Bread and Wine after Consecrated to be Christ and have no Christ but that which they make And that is it which suffered upon the Cross Then how came he to rise again if they had eaten him that very Body after Supper that very Body
over them and Authority over them and are called Gratious Lords it must not be so amongst you Here you slight Christ's words in making a Head and setting up your Gratious Lords your Popes to exercise Lordship over the People in dispite against Christs Command and so plainly manifest an Antichrist a Schismatick and a Sect degenerated from the true Brotherhood and true Head and he that will be the Greatest must be as the Least he that is Chiefest as he that Serveth c. and so he brings to an even rule And in many places it is plain that Peter never took the Headship to himself as your counterfeit Head hath done in opposition to the True Church and true Christ in dispite against him and this makes no Contradiction for the Chiefest must be as he that Serveth and the Greatest as the Least this cuts off your Lordship for the Scribes and Pharisees were reproved for that And thou bringest an Argument to prove that Peter was Head of the Apostles though the Apostles sent him Thou sayest Though the Father sent the Son yet to say that the Father hath greater Power then the Son thou sayest is Blasphemy Christ saith of Him That his Father is Greater then He John 14.28 and that was no Blasphemy in Christ And how was he Greater was it not in Power Yet we tell thee again that the Father and Son is one according to his Divinity he is God and God was in Christ and according to the Flesh he Suffered it was not God that Suffered that Died the Eternal God but Christ Suffered according to the Flesh as the Scripture declares for what God was that Christ prayed to and said Father if it be possible let this Cup pass from me but not my Will but they Will But these things are a Mystery to you and your dark spirits who it seems are ignorant of the Scriptures neither are the Holy Men of Gods words fit to come into your Mouths And whereas thou sayest Christ would have I relates to be humble People Look over the Popes Church and what Humility do you see Are not your Women full of Spots and the Pope with his Tripple-Crown and their Gorgious Attire Was this like Mary the Mother of Jesus who was brought to Bed in a Stable and laid Jesus in the Mainger Now we shall hardly have room in your Stable but in your Fires and Inquisitions for the Devil would Destroy True Christianity throughout the Earth who is become a false Christian in you but Christ will brake the ●e●d of hi● And if Peter was at Rome yet he was not Pope over all the Churches nor any of his Disciples nor none of Peters Follower all these things will not cover your Seditious Head nor this Catalogue of Bishops that were set up not for the first Six Hundred Years after Christ there was no Universal Pope all that time till as I said before Boniface the third was set up by Phocas the Murderer and after came in the Turk and then came in the Devil that hath filled your Cup to the brim with a Raging spirit and a Murdering spirit And thou sayest the truth of this Succession is gathered out of Matthew which proves nothing at all of this to you for your counterfeit Church hath been prevailed against by them which worship Mahomet Christ was with Peter to the end of his dayes and with all them that be in his Spirit the Spirit of Christ Jesus But what is this to you who have erred from Peter's Spirit and are got into a Murderous spirit who Persecute People to Death for your Rudiments Peter did not Persecute People for not owning Christ nor for not following Idols or images the Works of mens hands Another false Cover these Papists have which they daub People with concerning Peters being Head of the Church where it is said in Matth. 16. where Christ asked his Disciples Whom do men say that I am And their Answer was That he was John Baptist some say and others Elias and others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets But he said Whom do you say that I am Peter said Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God And Jesus answered and said unto him Blessed art thou Simon Barjona for Flesh and Blood hath not revealed this to thee I s●y unto thee th●u art Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church and the Gates of H●ll shall not prevail against it Now if this Church had been built upon Peter as he was a man of Flesh and Blood as you say then when Peter was put to Death the Gates of Hell had prevai'ed then and here the Papists would give Christ the Lye but Christ saith That Flesh and Blood had not revealed this to thee and thou art Peter and upon this Rock will I build my Church That his Flesh and Blood had not revealed unto him thou art Peter And what signifies Peter If Peter signifies a Rock and if Christ built his Church upon the signification of Peter's Sur-name which signifies but an outward Rock which outward Rock may be brought as a Figure of Christ or a Parable or Comparison if it be built upon the Parable it is not built upon the thing it self Must not then all your Popes names be call'd Peter if they be the Rocks of your Church and so your Church must be built upon their Sur-names Now if it be built upon Peter as a man and your Popes as men as you say it is as Flesh and Blood c. then it is built upon the signification of the word Man which is not the signification of Peter's Sur-name but the signification of Man is Adam for Son of Man is Son of Adam as Ben Adam Ben Elohim and Adam signifies Red Earth does it not And so the Interpretation of the Popes Rock is That he built his Church upon Red Earth and Red Earth is not a Rock And what is that which Flesh and Blood hath not revealed Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God and upon this Rock is Christ's Church built that his Flesh and Blood had not revealed and the Gates of Hell shall not preva●l against this Rock Christ Jesus it destroyes the Devil and his works and his Power is over Hell and Death and they are Living Stones that be Members of his Body What is all this to the Popes counterfeit Head and Church which the Gates of Hell have prevail'd against their fleshly Foundation their fleshly Church and their carnal Head which is devilish And thus they have erred and degenerated from the Foundation of the Prophets and Apostles and Christ Jesus being the Top and Corner-Stone for Christ was their Rock the Apostles confessed and the Rock that followed the Jews was Christ And so it is clear that you are the Foolish Builders that have built your House on the Sand the Sea shore and many of your Houses are walled down for they that built up●n the Rock Christ Jesus which Flesh
are a Seditious Sect that teach the Doctrine of Devils forbidding Meats and to Marry 1 Tim. 4. which the Spirit did say expresly should come in the last times who speak Lyes in Hypocrisie having you Consciences seared as with a hot-Iron that you a●e hardned in your Wickedness Seducing Spirits Doctrine of Devils For Moses was a Priest and Aaron was a Priest and were Married and the Prophets and Apostles had Wives and Marriage was Go●s Ordinance and Christ established it in the new Covenant wherein he saith Whom God joynes together let no man put assunder So here it is clear Christ the High-Priest made higher then the Heavens confirms Gods Work which is Marriage being his joyning and therefore do not you give liberty to Brothel-Houses and Baudy-Houses and Uncleanness And then you have need of a Purgatory 8thly You are a Seditious Sect for you have erred from the Cross of Christ which is the Power of God and therefore have you set up Wooden Crosses and Stone and Brass and Silver and Gold And how many Hundred Years after Christ were those outward Crosses invented And where did ever Paul or Peter or any of the Apostles set up a Wooden Cross And speak if you dare Let us see your Antiquity And how many Hundred Years after Christ got up that Seditious Sect forbidding Priests to Marry and setting up places to put Women in and vowed them and swore them to Chastity And how many Hundred Years after Christ was it before they made a God and a Christ of Bread and Wine Come out of your Holes and Dens and answer us in the Light if you dare And try your God and your Christ that you have made of Bread and Wine See if you will be as Bold as Baals Priests for they tryed their god before the Prophet Come let us see what this seditious Sect can do with all their Arts Can you make him Speak Is he a Living God that will not be found Asleep And will not your Gods grow Corrupt and Mouldy And is it not a Work of mans hands which you call people to Worship Yea your Fists of Wickedness and Bloody Hands which have been embrued and washed in the Blood of the Innocent with those hands have you not made your God and Christ of your Bread and Wine And therefore I say come out and try them we will have a Bottle of Wine and a Loaf of Bread and it shall be cut in two pieces and the Wine in two Basons and let the Pope and his Cardinals and Friars and Munks with all their Bloody Fists make a God of part of the Wine and part of the Bread and when they have done we will set them in a Cellar with part of the Wine and part of the Bread which is not consecrated and we shall try quickly whether their God will not Mould and their Christ will not Dye that is consecrated and their consecrated Wine grow sower and dye Come shuffle us not off for we will have them locked up in a Cellar with six or seven Locks and have a Watch on our side and another on yours and try if your God and your Christ that is made of Bread and Wine do not Corrupt and do not grow Mouldy and your Wine doth not grow Sower and Dye then we will all turn to you and say that you have made a God and Christ by your Art and then if your God and your Christ you have made of your Bread and Wine do grow Mouldy and the Wine Dye and Sower your Bread Mouldy that you have consecrated you shall all turn to us and acknowledge your selves to be a seditious Sect that have been Deceivers of the people this thousand Years We do challenge you dare you the Pope his Cardinals and Jesuits to come forth and try and bring your God out all you God-Makers and Christ-Makers of the Popes Crue and Company the Lord calls for you to come out of your Holts who have been a company of Blood-thirsty men who have mingled your invented and idolatrous Sacrifices with the Blood of the Innocent Pilate like a seditious Sect erred from the words of God and from Christ Jesus the Head of the Church and therefore you have invented a Head a counterfeit Head of your own making which is not a Catholick Head but a Seditious Head full of Sedition which fills the Body to the brim you are full of Hypocrisie to the very brim and full of Envy and Blood-thirstiness to the brim and full of Murder to the very brim your Actions your Doings your Works your Fruits speak it and declare it to all Nations about you But Christ Jesus he is the Head the Cathelique Head the Universal Head the Catholique Church is Living Members made and of Living Stones a spiritual Houshold sanctified by him and washed and purged and cleansed by the Living Head Christ Jesus who is the same to day yesterday and forever 9thly You are a Seditious Sect as erred from the Power from the Spirit of the Apostles and Christ Jesus and from the Righteousness the fine Linnen which is the Righteousnes of the Saints and of Christ Jesus and therefore you have set up your Surplices and your white Coats who have lost your fine Linnen which is the Righteousness of Christ Jesus and are more like Actors of Stage-Plays and M●un●ebancks then Preachers of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ ●n all your Fools-Coats and the Pope and his Cardinals Fools-caps Keys and Crowns Where do you read in the Scripture or new Testament of Master Paul or Mr. Peter or Mr. Timothy or Mr. Titus or Mr. Matthew or Luke c. or my Lord Timothy or my Lord Titus or Peter or my Lord Bishops we challenge you to make this good out of your own Scripture let us see some proof for your Ambition and Pride who are puft up with Titles and take the Titles that belong to God Almighty to your selves contrary to Elihu who said If I give flattering Titles to men my Maker would not regard me and contrary to Christ Jesus and in despite of Christ Jesus who saith You have one Master and you are his Brethren It is very clear that you are a Seditious Sect and Schism and are rent from the Body and the Head both and therefore you are a Seditious Body It is you which make so many heads and christs and then say Lo christ is here and lo he is there and your Seditious people run to christ-Makers and god-Makers or your idol-Makers Indeed the Heathen Priests made gods which were no Gods and therefore in Spain and France and Rome and Ireland and Portugal and other places how many gods have you And how many christs have you made in all these parts and christ-makers And then he is here and there Lo here and Lo there Antichrist against Christ We know that the Devil will rage at this And how much Blood have you shed number up the Persons because
26. Mark 14. Christ saith For I say unto you I will not any more eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God Lule 22. For I say unto you I will not drink of the Fruit of the Vine until the Kingdom of God shall come Mark 14. Verily I say unto you I will drink no more of the of the Fruit of the Vine until that day that I drink it new in the Kingdom of God And Matt. 26. Christ saith But I say unto you I will not drink henceforth of this Fruit of the Vine until that day when I drink it new in the Fathers Kingdom What! Will Christ drink his own Blood with his Disciples new in his Fathers Kingdom and eat of the Bread his own Body in the Kingdom of God And did Christ eat his own body and drink his own Blood while he was on the Earth with his Disciples for he saith I will no more drink I will not any more eat until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God and I will no more drink until that day said he that I drink it new in my Fathers Kingdom And what doth NO MORE signifie Doth it not signifie that he had eaten and drunk it before And what then do you say or affirm that he had eaten his own Body and drunk his own Blood Come let us see what sense you will make of this with all your Keys And what did the Pascal-Lamb typifie forth your outward Bread and Wine And what did one outward thing Type forth another outward thing And what did Christ eat himself and drink himself and did the Apostles eat Christ before he suffered Is this your Doctrine Did not the Paschal Lamb Typifie our Paschal Lamb CHRIST our Passover And what did it type forth your Bread and Wine christ which you made which is outward and from the ground And there your Heads go downward and the one outward thing types forth another outward thing and this is your Doctrine is it not and so that one Natural Types forth another But we tell you That Christ our Pascal-Lamb endeth the Jews Pascal-Lamb and their Passover for he is the Substance of them which were Types of him who is the spiritual Man who endeth them all that were Types and Figures of him And the Apostle saith 1 Cor. 10. For we being many are one Bread and one Body c. and what was this the outward bread and were the Apostles and Saints Bodies outward bread Or were the Saints the Body of Christ and he their Head and so one Body and one Head Or hath Christ ever a Body but what you do make of Bread and Wine Answer And the Apostle saith 1 Cor. 10. That the Bread and the Cup was the Communion of the Body of Christ And he doth not say That the Bread is the Body of Christ nor doth he say That the Cup is Christ's Blood And wherein doth your Cup and Table differ from the Cup and Table of Devils Answer And come let us see what sence you will make of this you Corrupters and Destroyers of Scriptures the Masters of all Corruptions Theft and Plunder the Devils Espouse and a Help meet who with his Sparks setteth Princes together by the Ears this usurped Dragon would have brought the Earth to desolation who with his fiery Sparks which he hath thrown amongst the Nations hath set the Nations on fire and would have all bow to him and Persecutes them that bows to God And are not you offering up your christ in every Nation and Country where you have power which you make of your Bread and Wine And without blushing falsly call your selves Ministers of the True Christ but you are the Ministers of that christ you make of Bread and Wine So you make your Lord your Christ and your Host and then you do offer him in every Country or Nation and so you make many Thousands of godds and christs and many thousand godd and christ Host-makers you are many thousand Offerings ye offer up Yearly But the True Christ is offered up Once for All and not yearly And this was the true Ministers of Christs Doctrine who denyed the Yearly Sacrifices amongst the Jews which Offerings Christ the True Offering ends and so Christ put away sin by the offering of himself and so our High-Priest was not made by man but he was begotten of God who is made higher then the Heavens and whom God did prepare a Body And you make your body and blood of your Antichrist and offer him up Yearly to deceive the People and keep them in their sin and then tell them of a Purgatory when they are Dead GREAT DECEIVERS and so you do the will of Devil your godd But he that did the Will of the Living God to wit Jesus Christ did it through the Offering up of his Body Once for All and so there is an end of the Offerings and your false ones together with your christs the workmanship of your own hands which you have caused people to worship both Small and Great a Mark of the great Whore see Rev. and Heb. 10. And you Papists who say you make the body and blood of your christ and when that you have made it you say people must not have the blood but the body of your christ you have made If that this was the True Christ as it is the Falfe then you keep all your Deceived People in Death and from Life and Faith and Justification For except they eat Christs Flesh and drink his Blood they have no Life in them and this comes down from above and is not from below as your blood and flesh which you make of Bread and Wine and so they must drink the Blood as well as eat the Flesh of Christ if they have Life and they that do not drink his Blood have not Life in Christ for all the true Christians do drink his Blood and have Life and they are justified and cleansed with his Blood and their Faith is in the Blood of Christ and so all that have Life Commune in both kinds that is They eat the Flesh of Christ and drink his Blood which no man can make but it comes down from above But you that are dead and in Death who have gotten the Name of Christians and pretend to make a christ of flesh and blood of bread and wine which is but a Lye yet you will not give your people your blood which you have made of wine and so according to your own doctrine your people are dead if you do profess the Scripture for Christ doth not separate the flesh from the blood but the one must be received as the other and Christ doth not limit it from any one but did shed his Blood for all men but this is your Cheat of Pope Cardinals and Priests who love the Wine to drink it and thus you do deceive your people And also when you have made your lord and host and christ you do adore him and worship him and reverence him and cause the people to do the same and then when you have done you do EAT up your GOD HOST LORD and CHRIST which you have adored reverenced and worshipped Oh Deceit This is worse then the Heathen for never do you read in any Chronicle that the Heathen did so Eat any of the Godds that they had made with their hands as you have done and thus you dispise the true Christ and confine him in the Creatures of Bread and Wine all which of your works are for Judgment G.
