Chapter ¶ Be doyng tyll I come ¶ To all them that professe the christian name the translatour wysheth mercy from God the father through our onelye aduocate mediatour Iesu Christe whose spirite the gyuer of all godnesse leade you in to all gostlye knowledge Amen * AS the authoure of thys lytle boke moued wyth the desyre to profyte as wel the rude and vnlearned as the lettered and professers of knowlege wrote it in his vulgare tongue euen so I moste dearelye beloued bretherne moued also wyth the desyre to brofyte my naturall countremen so much as shal lye in my litle power haue thought it my bounden deuty to employe my diligence to the translatyng therof And bycause it hath pleased the lorde to giue me more knowledge in the latyne tongue then in the frence wherin thys boke was fyrste wrytten I haue translated it after the Latine copy putting the faythful reader out of doubt that I haue not in any poynte gone from the true meanynge of the authoure but haue thorowly obserued the phrases of both tongues auoydynge in all that I myght the darke maner of translatynge after the latine phrases to the intente the Englyshe reader myghte haue the full vnderstandynge hereof wythout anye knowledge of the latyne tongue And that the Godly myndes of the studiouse readers may be the more steated to reade the matter wyth indifferent iudgement I shal without dissimulacion assure them that herein is no matter of contencion at all But cheritably wythout any worde of reproche as well the ryght vse of the Sacrament of the body and bloude of Christ as the abuses and errours concernynge the same are sette forth so playnelye that no man vnlesse he wyl wyllingly shutte vp the eyes of his cōscience agaynst the manifest trouth can reade the boke thorowlye but he shall easelye perceyue what greate abuses haue these syxe hundreth yeares ben and are at thys presente daye mayntened and defended as concernynge the ministracion therof Fyrste for that the popyshe churche haue and do abuse it in offeryng it vp as an healthfull sacrifyce for the redemption of the soules of the congregatiō for in theyr Cannon why the they cal the secretes of the masse are these wordes Pro redemptione animarum ecclecietue That is to saye for the redemption of the soules of thy churche where they holde opinion and teach that by offerynge vp thys sacrifice as they cal it they applye to or make partakers of the passion of Christe all them that here or hyre suche masses as they haue inuented dashed full of whysperynges douckynges and crossynges besydes the demure countenaūce in theyr tourne and halfe tourne I wyl speake no more as concerninge theyr fonde inuencions aboute the ministration of this most sacred Sacrament Lest I should therby be an offence or stomblynge stocke to the weake brothers whose consciences are not yet fullye satisfyed as concernynge the true beleue of thys holy mistery I meane leste I shoulde gyue thē occasion to do as certeyne fonde talkers haue of late dayes done and at thys presente daye do inuent and applye to thys mooste holy Sacramente names of dispitie and reproche as to cal it Iake in the boxe rounde Roben and suche other not onely fonde but also blas phemouse names not onely voyed of al edificaciō whiche ought to be the ende of al our doinges and sayinges but very sclaūderouse also For thoughe the thynge beynge so tourned frome the ryght vse as it is be abhominable so that it is l●afull for vs to speake vnreuerentlye of it in the abuse yet is it not mete for them that professe charitie nothinge to refrayne for conscience sake The cōscience I say of the weake brothers not yet stronge in the trueth and so muche the more for that many Godly mynded persones whiche by the persuasions of certeyne discrete and modeste brothers haue ben made of Romyshe Idolaters and diligent studentes of duncicall dregges disciples of greate hope in the sincere and trewe euangelyke doctrine haue by the hearynge of these names of reproch and dispitte taken occasion to thynke that the knowledge which those men dyd professe whiche woulde be so outragiouse as to mocke and iest at the remembraunce of our redempcion coulde not procede of the spirite of God And haue throughe thys persuasion retourned to theyr olde leuen agayne thynkyng them to be the trew teachers of gods doctrine whiche offende in the contrarye makinge it so diuine a thynge that it shoulde be of no lesse importaūce then the whole Trinitie the father the sōne and holy gost for so they affirme sayinge that for as muche as it is the bodye of Christe and that Christ is in al places at ones with his father and his father wyth hym and the holy goste it muste neades folowe that in it is the whole trinitie the father the sonne and the holy goste For these are not nor can not be seperated I wyll saye for these men that they haue the zeale of god but it is not accordinge to knowledge For as the Iewes were from tyme to tyme taught and beleued that God dwelled in the temple that Solomon buylded coulde not abyde to heare that God shoulde not dwell in a temple made wyth mannes hande nothynge consyderyng that he is immensus and can not be conteyned for heauen is his seate and the earth his fote stole euen so these men through a fonde persuasion of the essenciall presence of Christe in the Sacramente can not abyde to heare that the whole trinitie shoulde not be really conteyned vnder a piece of breade yea vnder euery litle crombe therof I speke not thys as one puttinge no difference betwene that sacramentall breade and oure comon breade but that I maye therby declare and open the great blyndnesse of them that knowyng and confessyng the immensurable nature of God would haue hym reallye and naturallye conteyned in so small a thynge Heauen is my feate sayth he and the earth is my fote stole and yet wyll they trusse hym so shorte that they wyll brynge hym into alytle pire wherin a man can not tourne his fyste He fylleth all places and is conteyned in no place
