so as without any respect made of the race Leuiticall the sacrificers were constituted by the Consuls and Deputies of Rome at their pleasure and whereas before they were permanent during life they now became Annuall When the Royall Scepter was alienated from the Progenie of Judea their Kingdome wholly subuerted as before was prophecied the incomprehensible power of God was reuealed by his Sonne begotten before all ages who humbled himselfe to take vpon him humane flesh in the wombe of the Virgin to redeeme his people and to restore them to grace and fauour with God CHAP. V. The Ceremoniall Law accomplished by Iesus Christ NOw as in Adam through his preuarication and sinne and in abusing the Sacred signes committed to his guard and custodie as the whole masse of humane flesh was tainted with the leauen of sinne so by the second Adam Iesus Christ wee were againe by grace purged from all our offences To our first and generall Father Adam was giuen the Sacred signe for an exercise of obedience and other sacred signes to his successors Sacrifices and Sacraments instituted by God the Tree of Life the Fruits of the knowledge of Good and Ill the Rainbowe Circumcision the vnspotted Lambe the vnleauened bread the Cloude the Pillar of Fire the Red sea diuided Heauenly Manna Water out of the Rocke the Oblations Holocausts of beasts for sacrifice the Arke of Couenant the Brazen Serpent the Temple edified in the holy Citie All which sacred signes Sacrifices and Sacraments were figures of that which was accomplished in Iesus Christ For first hee was the true Tree of Life planted in the middest of the Paradise of God in and by whom wee that were bastard slips haue been engraffed to obtaine eternall life Hee committed to our keeping the Fruits of the Tree of Wisedome by his holy Gospel commanding vs to preserue it entirely without adulterating or corrupting the same without adding or dimishing there-from vpon pain of eternall death Hee was as the Rain-bow extended all ouer the Aire to assure vs of the League and Couenant contracted between God and vs that we should no more be drowned in the deluge of sinne He was circumcised that the Law in him might be accomplished that so the prepuce of our hearts might be circumcised and to make vs cast off our old corrupted skinne in Adam Hee was like the flaming Bush incarnate in the wombe of the Virgin conceiued by the Holy Ghost without the seed of Man the sacred Virgin like the Bush remaining notwithstanding entire and not consumed He was sacrificed like the iust Innocent Lambe and his Blood shed to preserue vs from the Tyranny of satan and to open vnto vs a passage whereby we may enter into the Land of Promise the Heauenly Kingdome Hee is that true vnleauened Bread which came downe from Heauen incorrupt and vnspotted of whom we must eate for our spirituall nourishment that we may celebrate the Feast of that miraculous passage from Pharaoh in the Land of true Liberty Hee was the Cloud the firie Pillar the diuided Red Sea which conducted and deliuered vs out of the hands of our enemies out of whose opened Side came Water and Bloud for our Saluation He was the heauenly Manna sent from Heauen to feed vs for euer and the true Rocke out of which issued Water to quench their thirst for euer which beleeue in him It was He that onely offered vp the sauing Sacrifice for the expiation of our sinnes both Priest and Sacrifice both the Offerer and the Oblation remaining an Eternall High-Priest at the Right Hand of God his Father beeing entred into the Holy and Heauenly Sanctuarie not built with mens hands but by the Hand of God He was the true Arke of Alliance and Couenant by which God reuealed and manifested his Oracles and in him he did reside to accomplish his diuine and incomprehensible Mysteries He was like to the Brazen Serpent fastened to the Crosse to giue health vnto the sicke which returne to him and contemplate on him by Faith He was the true Temple of God wherein the Holy Ghost dwels one God in Trinity in and by whom God is onely adored He was the true and sacred Oblation of whom the reall water purgatorie was made for the purgation of euery blemish Himselfe with his owne Ashes that is with his immolated Body besprinkled and wet with water issuing out of his Side all People and Nations that beleeue in him CHAP. VI. Of Sacraments ordained by Iesus Christ himselfe THe Law Ceremoniall beeing by this meanes accomplished not in Figures but really executed by the Incarnation Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Sauiour our Mediator our Eternall Priest and Propitiator the infinite goodnesse of God was yet further reuealed by the new Couenant new Alliance and new comming of the Sonne of God Incarnate For by his New Testament ratified and confirmed in the death of the Testator He hath constituted vs as heires and coheires to God in his heauenly Kingdome For assurance of this celestiall succession purchased for vs by grace after the Consummation of the Law Ceremoniall and the same abolished as we haue formerly declared through that perfect Sacrifice of the Priest Eternall there were left vnto vs two sacred Signes or Sacraments wherein God bestowed greater fauour and more speciall grace then he had done before his Incarnation For hee hath freed vs from the seruile Law of Circumcision from the difference of meates and diuers Sacrifices ordained in the first Church of the Israelites And by easing vs of this waighty burthen Hee further conferred vpon vs a greater comfort in constituting for a memoriall and remembrance of our regeneration and eternall life two holy Sacraments vnder two sacred signes which are the water of Baptisme and the Bread and Wine in the Communion of his Body Now that his Grace might be extended to all Nations God thought good to make choice of the most familiar and ordinary Signes and Symboles For Circumcision was a speciall marke for Abraham and his Posterity to which Circumcision other Nations were not accustomed though Herodotus a Grecian borne in an History he wrote of the Aegyptian manners specifies their manner and custome of beeing circumcised but especially the Priests and we may easily coniecture that he had heard of it at the time when the Iewes dwelt in Aegypt for the space of 430 yeeres and obserued Circumcision Moreouer Circumcision was appointed onely for the Males and not for Females there was a limited time appointed for Circumcision which was within eight dayes after the Natiuity and the cutting of the fore-skin was with griefe and paine But the Grace of God by his Incarnation and plenary Sacrifice hauing abolished the rigor of the Law Ceremoniall as well for difference of meates as of daies He

engraffed and by the same blood we are entertained and preserued from hungring or thirsting for euer By the blood of Iesus Christ wee cast off our old corrupt skin and put on his body from which likewise wee receiue nourishment and eternall life By the blood of Iesus Christ we haue accesse and entry into the Kingdome of Heauen And by the same blood we haue fruition of the same kingdome In this sense the holy Apostle testifieth that wee were all baptized by the vertue of the holy Spirit and we are likewise drunke of the same spirituall drinke giuen vnto vs by Iesus Christ Be not these comparisons drawne out of the holy Scriptures to witnesse that Iesus Christ is the onely aime and scope whereto we must tend both in Baptisme and the holy Supper If therefore that the signes of sacramentall water in Baptisme and of Bread and Wine in the Supper of Iesus Christ are sacred Signes Earnests Gages Hostages Symboles Seales and Sacraments instituted by God for an assurance and approbation of our faith Wherefore O Missalians seeing you haue inuented a Magicke of transubstantiation for the Sacrament of the Supper why did you not likewise with the same Magicke sophisticate the Sacrament of Baptisme Why haue you not constituted that sacramentall water after it is by you exorcis'd and coniur'd with salt to repell diuels to be transubstantiated into the blood of Iesus Christ the water being no more water but an accident without substance as you haue forged by the Bread and Wine What difference doe you assigne but Sophistries Sophismes and Missalian subtilties If you perseuere in your heresie by reason of this word est this word is also vsed in the water of Baptisme which is termed renouation and regeneration it is named the holy Spirit and the Vestment by and with which wee are reuested renued and regenerated in the blood of Iesus Christ Seeing therefore you acknowledge O Missalians that you could neuer yet meet with a second Berengarius to institute another Decree of a Palinody for the extending of your Magicall transubstantiation to the sacred water of Baptisme and by the same meanes likewise to transubstantiate your lustrall Plegme Spittle your Oyle your Creames your Salt other Drugges wherewith you haue corrupted the holy Sacrament of Baptisme why are you so inueterate and obdurate in your Pompilian Religion as to hale Iesus Christ from the right hand of his Father to make him in body and blood to descend by your muttered Magick like another Iupiter Elicius before the day preordained for his second comming I may well propound vnto you the similitude of the Sunne called by some Apostles the Sunne of Righteousnes Iesus Christ because light comes from Heauen by this luminous and glorious sphericall Planet and so spirituall light is exhibited to vs by Iesus Christ who out of the night and darknesse of sinne hath brought vs into the brightnesse and cleare sun-shine of his grace You may now therefore vnderstand carnall grosse Capernaites this sufficient and euident comparison to intimate that the infinite power of God is much more compleat and perfect then your abominable inuention of Transubstantiation Will you not acknowledge except your eyes be blinded and obfu●cated with the palpable darknes of obstinacie that the Sunne giues vs his light his force his heat and vigour and yet neuerthelesse the body it self of the planetall Sunne remaines and continues in his sphericall Orbe Doe you not vse to say ordinarily in common language when the window of an house is open on that part where the Sunne shines that the Sunne is come into the house although the Sunne remaines still in the Firmament Must wee therefore violently hale and pull the body of the Sun to make it descend and bee transubstantiated into this earthly substance before it can affoord its heat beames light and nourishment to Plants Trees Herbes and Beasts of the earth Are you so brutish O Capernaits as not to recognize that the true Sunne of Righteousnes Iesus Christ hath more power then this Astrall Sunne being but mortall and created If then a mortall creature hath this power to infuse into vs the vertue and efficacie of his body by his beames light and heate extended really and effectually ouer the whole earth the body remaining still in its heauen and shall wee not beleeue that God an immortall Creator hath much more power to grant vs the true Sunne of Righteousnesse Iesus Christ to giue vs the vertue and power of his body and bloodshed for vs by the beames light and heate of his holy Spirit except hee be by your Magicke pluckt from the right hand of God and his body drawne out of heauen to be transubstantiated vpon earth Why should not Iesus Christ haue this power to affoord vs his light and to offer his body and blood to enter into vs if by faith and a pure conscience wee be ready to receiue him by the efficacy of his holy Spirit as well and better then the sphericall Sunne can enter into our houses with his force and power and neuer be drawne out of his heauen to bee transubstantiated The Sunne is an entire body created residing in heauen the cause of the generation of Plants Trees and Herbes which by his force and calidity giues sustentation to whatsoeuer liues vpon the earth and in one and the same moment hath power to quicken heat and nourish an infinit number of Plants Trees Herbes and beasts of the earth and yet his body is neuer separated diuided drawne out of his spheare nor transubstantiated The body also of Iesus Christ which he assumed vp into heauen set at the right hand of God hath not that more force more vertue more power to regenerate nourish and sustaine vs to giue vs his vertue light and beames to inspire quicken illuminate and nourish vs and in a moment to make vs all by faith partakers of his body and bloud to make vs members of his members vnited in and by him through his true promise comprehended vnder the symboles sacred signes commended vnto vs till the second cōming of his humanity be reuealed vpon earth Wherefore then O Missalians haue you deuised this Magicke of transubstantiation to blaspheme against God to impaire his omnipotency and disable his vertue more then you do that of the sphericall Sun but his creature Why should you hale the body of Iesus Christ out of heauen before the preordained time to transubstantiate it into your little round azimall hosts printed with image●y which you cause to bee ador●d seeing Christ as God there assists his Church perpetually and hath the power to regenerate feed and sustaine vs yea with an eternall life and nourishment by his most assured promise testified by the holy Sacraments of Baptisme and the sacred Supper For other more familiar and domesticall comparisons consider O Missalians how earthly and mo●tall Princes are reputed
