A68236	The third booke of commentaries vpon the Apostles Creede contayning the blasphemous positions of Iesuites and other later Romanists, concerning the authoritie of their Church: manifestly prouing that whosoeuer yeelds such absolute beleefe vnto it as these men exact, doth beleeue it better then Gods word, his Sonne, his prophets, Euangelists, or Apostles, or rather truly beeleeues no part of their writings or any article in this Creede.

concerning the Sacrament Other thinges will I set in order when I come 16 Granting what is not necessarie hee spake of ordering matters concerning this Sacrament to receiue the wine aswell as the bread was no part of their present disorder whose misbehauiour at the Lords Table did minister mere iust occasions to Saint Paul then long beardes did to the Councell of Constance to denie the vse of the cup might Christs bloud and bodie which he had iointly rendered to all be vpon any occasion iustly seuered by man in the administration of his last Will and Testament Whatsoeuer the number or qualitie of the guests bee the great Lords Table must be alwaies so furnished as it was at the first institution for he hath no respect of persons If a rich stately Prelate come in with a gold ring in goodly vestiments a poore honest Layicke in vileraiments he saith not to him in Pontificiall roabes come sit you here at my messe where you may drinke of my wine aswell as eate of my bread nor to the poore Layicke stand thou there a part or sit downe here vnder my footstoole where thou maist bee partaker of the crummes which fall from my table though not of my cup which must be kept for thy betters High and low rich and poore all were redeemed with one price all at this offering equal all alike free to tast of euery dish so they come with wedding garments without which euen the best must be cast out as vnworthie to tast of any part if not of all That part which the Counsels of Constance and Trent vpon pretences of reuerence to the LORDS Supper haue detained from Moderne Christians the Corinthians had receiued vnworthily yet was not the Cuppe for this reason held superfluous by Saint Paul who onely sought to represse the abuse as knowing the vse of it to bee most necessarie The matters then hee meant to order when he came was to set out this Heauenly banquet with greater decencie and solemnitie not to abridge them of any substantiall or materiall part thereof 17 Nor doe the Trent Fathers if wee may trust them vpon their words For they desirous as it seemes to make the whole Christian World as sottish as themselues were impious would make men beleeue they could iuggle away the Cuppe and neuer touch the very substance of the Sacrament as if the wine were not as substantiall a part of the Lords Supper as was his bloud of his bodie or humanitie An integrall or materiall part they cannot denie it to bee and such if it bee there Apologie is as shamelesse as if a man should let out most of anothers bloud cut of his arme or legge or maime him in some principall part and plead for himselfe I did not meddle with his substance meaning as the Councell I take it heere doth his essence seeing he is yet as truly a reasonable Creature as before 18 But to debarre them of that refuge it may be they sought or their followers may yet hope to finde in the equiuocation of this word substance importing as much sometimes as a material or integral sometimes as an essential part If the cup be an essential and substantiall part of this Sacrament the Councell by their owne confession did souly erre in prohibiting Communion vnder both kindes If no such part it bee they might by their owne rule haue altogether denied the vse of it so much as to the sacrificer or consicient but so the verie vse and end on which the essence of the Sacrament as of all other matters of moral practise immediatly depends and by whose expiration instantly must determine should vtterly haue perished The end and vse of this sacred institution as our Sauiour expressely teacheth and the Councell grants was to represent the testators death yea so to represent it as we migh be partakers of his bodie and bloud not spiritually onely but withall as the Trent Fathers contend sacramentally Admitting then all they can pretend against the necessitie of the Cuppe That whole Christ were in the bread alone yet this will not preserue the true and fruitfull vse of the Sacrament nor salue that deadly wound the essence of it must perforce receiue from frustration of the end necessarily ensuing the cuppes absence For this Sacrament was ordained as to represent so to exhibit Christs bodie vnto all faithfull Communicants not as intire and whole his bloud not as it was inclosed in the vaines but the one as torne and rent the other as shedde and powred out vpon the crosse This is my bloud of the new Testament saith our Sauiour which is shed for many for all that receiue it faithfully for the remission of sinnes His bloud then as shed and powred out is as the loadstarre of penitent and contrite hearts whereon the eyes of their faith that seeke remission of sinnes in this Sacrament must bee fastened for as the Apostle saith without sheding of bloud is no remission This was the complement of that inestimable all-sufficient Sacrifice that which represents his precious bloud thus powred out the principall part of this Sacrament aswell in respect of representing his death as in applying remission of sinnes thereby in generall purchased and by this Sacramentall Type sealed to euery one in particular especially if the Trent Councels Doctrine be true that Christs verie bloud which was shed vpon the crosse is really present in the Chalice and might be as immediately sprinkled at least vpon the lips or dores of euerie faithfull receiuers heart as the bloud of the Paschal Lambe was vpon the doore-posts of the Israelites Thus as Sathan the Father of lies so false opinion suggested by him draw men with pleasure into those euils for whose practise in the end they become their chiefe accusers That opinion which first brought in neglect of the Chalice and as the Trent Councell presumed would haue warranted them in making this decree doth most condemne them for the measure of their iniquitie could not haue beene so fully accomplished vnlesse they had held a transubstantiation of the wine into Christs bloud 19 What part of Scripture can wee presume they will spare that dare thus countermand the most principal of all Gods Commandements what reckoning may wee thinke they make of our Sauiour Christ that aduenture thus shamefully to disanull and cancell his last will and testament defrauding almost the whole Christian World of halfe their Lord and Maisters royall allowance partly without any shew of Scriptures either to restraine or otherwise interpret these Soueraigne precepts partly vpon such idle and friuolous allegations as may further witnesse their sleight estimate of Gods Word saue onely so farre as it may bee wrested to serue their turnes 20 But grant the places there alleaged by the Councell did so mitigate either the forme of the institution or the peremptorie manner of our Sauiours speeches in the sixth of Iohn as to make it disputable in vnpartiall iudgements whether
