A17659	A faythfull and moost godlye treatyse concernyng the most sacred Sacrament of the blessed body and bloude of our sauioure Chryst, co[m]piled by Iohn Caluyne, a man of no lesse lernyng and lytterature then godly studye, and example of liuyng. And translated into Latin by Lacius a man of lyke excellencie. And nowe last of all, translated into Englyshe by a faythfull brother, no lesse desirous to profyt the weake brotheres then to exercise the talent of the Lorde to his honoure and glorye. In declaration whereof, he hath set before this lytle booke an epistle to the reader much more effectuous then in the fyrst edicion. Whereunto the order that the churche and congregation of Christ in Denmarke doth vse at the receyuying of baptisme, the Supper of ye Lorde, and wedlocke: is added.

and yet wyll they at theyr pleasure place hym in the chalyce he was neuer visible to the mortall eye and yet wyll they make him appere at euerye knaues requeste that wyll do as other men do I meane paye theyr ordinarye shote and so doyinge he shall not onelye se him but also eate him vp euerye morsell I woulde the men woulde delygentlye peruse the wordes of saynt Augustine in theyr legēde on Corpus Christi daye whiche are these taken out of the. xxvi treatyse vpon Iohan. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud tarieth in me and I in hym To eate that meat therefore and to drinke that drinke is to tarye in Christe and to haue Christe tariynge in vs. And by this he that taryeth not in Chryste and in whom Chryst tarieth not no doubt he doth not spiritually eate his fleshe nor drynke hys bloude al thoughe he do carnallye and visibly crushe with his teeth the sacrament of y ● body and bloude of Chryste but he dothe rather eate and drynke to his damnacion the sacrament of so noble a thyng Here is your transsubstanciacion vtterlye denyed For saynt Augustine putteth a plaine difference betwene the sacrament and the thinge it selfe Agayne the same Angustine in the same place addeth these wordes The sacrament of thys thinge that is of the vnitie of the body and bloude of Christe is in some places prepared euerie day in some other places but certayne dayes as on the sundaye and is taken of the table of the Lorde to some persons to life to some other to destruction but the thynge it selfe in to all persones to lyfe and to destruction to no man that may be pertaker therof What nedeth it to reherse anye mo wytnesses seynge these are sufflicyent eyther to proue saynte Augustine an heretyke other else to declare thys transsubstanciacion to be bothe foolyshe and abominable Both for that it trusse the together the diuinytie and inlargethe the humanytye beyonde all measure thrutchyng vp into a corner y earte whiche no place can conteyne and settynge at libertie to be in all places that whyche muste nedes be in one place onely Yf euery man wyl folowe his conscience in this matter I doubte not but they shal sone be persuaded how farre wyde thys transsubstanciacion is frome the trueth But nowe take they holde of the wordes of the Lorde at the fyrst institucion of this mooste sacred Sacrament whiche are these Thys is my bodye whiche shall be delyuered for you This is my bloude which shall be shed for you many into remission of synnes What natural essencial and real presēce they buylde vpon these wordes is abundantlye declared in the Byshoppe of Wynchester and docter Smythes bokes I shall therefore mooste humblye desyre the readare vtterlye to

is that the good spirite of god is my leadare As concernynge the vnderstandynge of the wordes of Christe you shall knowe that the maner of teachyng is double that is to say by wordes and by signes By wordes we teache when we declar● vnto the hearers by wordes the th●nge that we woulde they shoulde know By signes we teache when we do some thynge whethy the beholders may gather our meaynyng 〈…〉 quiniꝰ superbꝰ dyd when he strake of the toppes of the hyghest poppyes declaringe therby that his aduise was to haue the greatest rulers beheaded We teach also both by words by sygnes when we adde vnto the wordes some action to declare as it were to expounde the wordes withall As is mencioned in the Actes of the apostles of a prophete whiche declared vnto Paule the persecution he shoulde indure at Hierusalem whyther he was goyng and to make the matter more playne he toke Paules gyrdle frō aboute hym and ●yed hys feete with all sayinge the man whose gyrdle this is shal be thus boūden at Hierusalem Euen so good christian brethren our sauioure Christe wyllynge to declare to hys apostles the wonderfull paticipation that all faythfull christians shoulde haue in hys bodye and bloude toke breade whyche is the chyefe and in scripture compted the onely foode of the bodye of man and when he had after his accustomed maner gyuen thankes he blessed not crossynge the breade wyth the thre hynder fyngers hauynge the forefynger and the thombe faste ioyned to gether No he made no synge of the crosse at all For to make the sygne of the crosse was in those daies none other then it is now to

communicate vnto vs and that we be so rude and ignoraunt that we vnderstande not euen the verye leaste of the diuine matters it was neadefull to declare and open thys misterye after suche sorte as the abilitie of oure wytte myght awaye wyth all And for that cause dyd the Lorde institute the supper ▪ that he myght print in our consciences those promesses wherwyth he hath in the gospell promysed to make vs partakers of hys bodye and bloude and that he myght establysh vs in thys perswasion our spiritual lyfe to be remaynynge in hym that we receyuyng so noble a pledge maye conceyue a sure hope of saluation Forthermore that we should be exercised in acknowledgynge his great goodnes towardes vs in celebratyng and settyng forth of the same wyth all la●de and prayse Thyrdly that we should be prouoked to imbrace holynesse and innoncencie for as much as we acknowledge oure selues to be the members of Christe and that aboue all other we set forth and maynteyne frendshyp and brotherly concorde wherof we haue an especial cōmaundement When we haue wel and diligently marked these thre causes to whyche no doubte the Lorde had respecte when he instituted the supper an entrye shall be opened vnto vs that we maye the better vnderstande what fruyte we receyue therby and by what meane we maye vse it a ryght We muste therfore nowe come vnto the seconde parte that we maye declare what holsome fruyte the supper of the Lorde bryngeth vnto vs so we wyl vnderstande and gather the same And that shall we know whē we wyll digentlye perpende oure owne greate lacke which if succurreth No remedy we must neades be vehementlye troubled and vexed in mynde so often as we consyder what we are our selues and when we examyne al that is in vs. For there is not one of vs that can fynde so muche as one lytle crombe of iustice in hym selfe but contrarye wyse we are defyled wyth so many vices and wycked dedes stouffed full of so greate a multitude of synnes that there neadeth none other accuser then our owne conscience nother neadeth it to seke for any other iudge to gyue sentence agaynste vs. Wherof it foloweth that the yre of God is styred agaynste vs and that none of vs can be able to escape the iudgement of eternall death And vnlesse we wyll be verye dreamars and blockeheades no remedy we shal through this horrible cogitacion be ve●ed and troubled as it were wyth a continuall hel fyre For we can not remember the iudgmente of God but incōtinent oure owne damnation is before oure else We are therfore al redy swalowed vp by the deuouring sincke of death were it not that almightie God delyuereth vs. And what hope of resurrection may we haue whē we cōsyder oure owne fleshe so rotton and full of all corruption And therfore whether we consyder body or soule nothynge can be more miserable then we are so longe as we shall consyder but oure selues onely and whylse we perceyue so great miseries no remedye we must neades be miserably tormēted and affected with extreme heauynesse That the heauenly father therfore myght succure thys oure calamitie he gaue vnto vs the supper as a glasse wherin we myght beholde Christe crucifyed and raysed agayne Crucified that our sinnes might be forgynen Raysed agayne that we delyuered from corruption and deathe myghte be restored to the heauenly immortalitie Thys singular consolacion take we of the lordes supper that it directeth and leadeth vs vnto the crosse and resurrection of Christe that we maye knowe for certentye that we although we be wycked and vncleane be acknowledged and receyued of the lorde yea and taken for iust and that by hym we are restored to lyfe notwithstandynge that we be hedged in W tin al kindnes of death and that we be replenished wyth all kynde of felicitye notwythstandyng that we be miserable and ful of calamitie Or to make the thyng more playne When there is no goodnesse at all remaynyng in vs neyther any one thynge of those thynges whiche shoulde helpe to the op●aynynge of saluacion the supper doth abundauntly wytnesse vnto vs that we haue ●ptayned all thinges profitable and holsome in that we be partakers of the death and passion of Chist Wherfore we maye affirme that whiles the lorde admitteth vs in to the felowshyppe of the goodes and richesses of Christe he opene●h the treasorye of hys mercyes Let vs remember therefore that in the supper is geuen vnto vs as it were a glasse wherin we may beholde Christe crucifyed to delyuer vs from death and dampnacion and reysed vp agayne to iustifye vs and gyue vs lyfe euerlastyng And all be it that the same mer●cye is geuen vnto vs in the Gospel yet for that in the supper we haue more certentie and fuller frui●yon we can do no lesse but acknowledge that we receyue thys profyte therof But for bycause the merytes of Christe appertayne nothynge vnto vs vnlesse he him selfe be ou●●s before it is mooste expedyente that in the Supper he be geuen vnto vs that those thynges whereof we haue spoken may in verye dede be perfourmed in vs. And therfore haue I vsed to saye That Christe is the mattire and substaunce of the Sacramentes and that the mercies and benefytes which we gette by him are the efficacie and strength therof To cōclude the hole strength and energye of the supper consisteth in this thinge to confirme the reconciliacion wyth God made by the death and passion of Christe To certifye vs that our soules be washed in his bloude 〈◊〉 that we be made iust throughe his obedience And ●o conclude To prynt surely in our myndes that hope of saluacion which we haue in all those thynges that he hath done for vs. Upon this must we necessarilye conclude that there is a substance annexed vnto this vertue otherwyse shoulde we haue no stydfastnesse or certentie therin we must therfore conclude that in the supper are geuē vnto vs two thynges that is to saye Christ as fountayne origyn and mattier of all good thynges and the fruite and efficacie of his death and passion whiche thynge euen the verie wordes y ● be spokē in the supper do a bundaūtly declare For when he bedde vs eate his body drynke his bloude he addeth that his body was geuē for vs and his bloude shedde for the remission of oure synnes wherin he doth fyrste declare that his bodye and bloud are not simply with out any other consideracion communicate vnto vs but that we must also cōsider the fruite that cōmeth vnto vs by his death and passion In fine Howe maye we be able to come to the fru●cion of so excedynge good thynges onlesse we be partakers of the bodye and bloude of him that hath produced these thynges and gyuen them vnto vs. Nowe entre we into that question whiche hath bene so greatly tossed both in tyme paste and in these oure dayes also howe those wordes
