whole matter as it were to be beholden with one onely sight that it is a sacramentall Ceremonie or an holy action ordeyned for the Churche by Iesus Christe our Lord Redemer and high Priest wherby in setting before vs in this Banquet the bread and the wine being mystical tokens and pledges he commendeth vnto vs in like maner his doctrine and also maketh vs a full promise of euerlasting life the which in geuing his bodye to death and shedding his bloud he hath prepared for vs and offered them vnto vs to be receyued by faith in liuely meate and drinke and by this certification he ratifieth it vnto vs. Moreouer he representeth or signifieth by these tokens and pledges reneweth as it were setteth before our senses his giftes or benefites which the faithful receiue Also he gathereth together visibly his seruauntes into the companie and vnitie of his body finally he confirmeth vnto vs the remembrance of his death and passion and of our redemption admonishing vs in the meane season of our dutie which is chiefely to yelde him prayse and thankes giuyng Touching the doctrine as it is euerye where so is it also heere that is to saye a thing so excellent that it surmounteth all the rest which doctrine although it be diuers and most copious yet is it such as may be gathered into certaine and a fewe Articles For the first and chiefest matter which it handleth at large and most euidently is the principall poynt of our Christian religion and the ende of our mysticall Supper that is to say that the Lorde our God of his meere grace and mercy taking pitie of mankind sent into the worlde for the saluation of the faithfull his onely sonne our Lord Iesus Christ who by his death hath purged vs from all our sinnes and deliuered vs from death from hell and from Satan and made vs heires of life euerlasting And for so much as in this poynt consisteth chiefely all the matter of our saluation he commendeth vnto vs and repeateth this thing in many sortes and diuersely to the ende that we shoulde not forget him or lightly regarde him but that he myght shewe himselfe cleerely vnto the faythfull for euer as a most cleare lyght which myght shyne vnto them and lighten them Moreouer he figureth proposeth and commendeth vnto vs vnder most apt figures and shadowes this most excellent part of doctrine For in the beginning of the Supper the Lorde washed his disciples feete By the which acte after that he had lyuely declared vnto them a great humilitie of hart with charitie and affection of mutuall seruice and of all kinde of dutifull behauiour one toward another we reade that the Lorde sayde vnto Peter which gaynesayd him If I washe thee not thou hast no part with me And straight way afterward He which is washed needeth not saue to washe his feete but is cleane euery whit Whereby we gather that the Lorde hath taught hereby that they which are once receyued to the fauour of God and purged by the bloud of the Sonne of God receyued by fayth are fully iustified But bycause they which are iustifyed so long as they lyue in this world haue infirmities in their fleshe wherewyth they are after a sort soulied as be the feete of them which are washed with muddy water he signifieth that they should clense these spottes by continuall repentance Here vnto agreeth the worthy saying of the holy Apostle There is then no damnation to them which are in Christ Iesu which walke not after the fleshe but after the spirit Agayne the Lorde setteth before our eyes our redemptiō obtained by his death when he eateth with a great desire wyth his Disciples the Pascall Lambe beyng offered vp For we knowe that Iesus Christ is the Lambe of God which taketh away the sinnes of the worlde and that Christ our Passeouer is offered vp and that the sprinklyng of his bloud stayeth and keepeth farre from vs the destroying Angell Also that he clenseth our sinnes and refresheth vs with spirituall drinke guideth vs to eternall lyfe and maketh his father pacifyed with vs who were it not for this would still be angry agaynst our sinnes Moreouer he commendeth vnto vs the mysterie of our redemption by the bread and wine holily instituted for signes and Sacramentes of his bodye deliuered to death and of his bloud shed for vs and willeth vs that we neuer forget him Besides this he hath not onely commended vnto vs this principall point of our saluation in parables and figures but also hath expoūded it vnto vs most manifestly in cleere and euident woordes as when he sayth plainely that many mansions that is to say sufficient dwelling places are prepared with his heauenly father to receiue all the elect and that he departeth hence that by his death he myght open the heauenly dwellings to bring in thether his faythful seruauntes For I will receiue you euen vnto my selfe that where I am there maye ye be also And agayne he sayth I am the way and the truth and the life no man commeth vnto the father but by me Also Nowe are ye cleane through the word which I haue spoken vnto you Byde in me and I in you I omit here purposely many such lyke things for you haue sufficiently vnderstoode by that which wee haue alledged with what diligence and howe abundantly and aptly he hath expounded and commended vnto vs in his doctrine the which often in his Supper he repeated to hys Disciples the principall point of our saluation Nowe for so much as the doctrine of our Lord Iesus Christ doth not only shew vnto vs our redemption and teacheth that faith in Christ which truely iustifieth but also instructed vs to repentaunce and to a graue and earnest accusation of all our misdeedes a man may finde a singular discourse of all this matter in this Supper And because there be two sortes of men the one altogether hypocriticall and vnfaithfull wherof Iudas Iscariot which betrayed our Sauiour is the true patterne and the other righteous pure perfect and faithful neuerthelesse laden and burdened with vices and sinnes the which the other Disciples of our Lord doo represent the Lorde in the beginnyng addresseth his speache to Iudas and admonisheth hym grauely reproueth hym and toucheth him nearely threatening hym with euerlasting destruction Consequently he represseth his Disciples reasonyng among them selues who should be greatest he confirmeth comforteth and strengtheneth the weake the fearefull and ready to fall Also he aduertiseth them of their greeuous fall exhorting them after their fall to repentance in setting before them the example of Peter to whom he said Simon Simon behold Satan hath earnestly desired to sift you And the rest which is to be read in the .22 of S. Luke Out of all the which things we maye gather that in al the Sermons which are to be made to the people both before the Supper

and how vnworthy he is that we shoulde heare him By these thinges we are confirmed to continue in this simplicity keepyng our selues from receyuing at the handes of any person whatsoeuer he be any thing which agreeth not with this institution and holy maner of doyng Let the tradition of Christ suffice vs let vs here do simply that which the Lorde hath commaunded vs to do hauyng herein set foorth him selfe to vs for an example and guyde It resteth that we declare in two woordes what manner of men the Disciples of the Lorde were in this Supper how they behaued them selues therein that hereby we may learne how we ought to behaue our selues also in the celebration of this most holy banquet True it is that they were weake and sinners the which they well declared in the Supper by certayne tokens Neuerthelesse they beleeued by true fayth in the Lorde were receyued into his fauour and clensed from their sinnes they acknowledged theyr weakenesse made theyr supplication to the Lord depended vppon him only and obeyed him simply in all and through all submitting them selues to him and doing simply in the Supper al that which he commaunded them And the Apostles were not defiled by the presence of Iudas the traytor for they were farre from his conditions Therfore least no man thinke himselfe defiled when he seeth in the Supper the wicked and profane receiue it but let him take heede that he him selfe be not wicked Euery one shal beare his owne burden Let vs followe in all things the Disciples of the Lord in simplicitie fayth and obedience dooing that which they did following the commaundement of the Lord beleeuing that we are acceptable to the father through Iesus Christ of whom only it behoueth vs to depend beseeching him to absolue vs to make vs perfect and to conserue vs To him be glory for euer Amen To fill vp these leaues we haue ioyned hereunto this notable place of Saint Vigilius the Martyr foorth of his first boke against heresies It seemeth to me that they are so couered and blinded with the vayle of treason and falsehood that they can neither see nor vnderstand that one thing agreeth to the diuinitie of Christ another thing to his humanitie although they be in like sort common to both the two For he sayth to his Disciples If ye loued me ye would verely reioyce bycause I sayd I go vnto the Father for the Father is greater then I. And againe It is expedient for you that I goe away for if I goe not away that comforter will not come vnto you And vndoubtedly the woorde of God the vertue of God and the wisdome of God hath been alway with the father and in the father euen then also when it was in vs and with vs For in that tyme when by his mercie hee dwelled vppon earth he forsooke not his heauenly dwelling For with the Father he is all in all places of equall Godhead and no place can comprehende him For all things are filled with the Sonne and there is no place voyde of the presence of his Godhead Wherefore then and why sayth hee agayne or how dooth he affirme that he will goe to the Father from whom vndoubtedly he neuer departed But to goe to the Father and to depart from vs was to take foorth of this world the nature which he had taken of vs Thou seest therefore that it was proper to the selfe same nature to be taken hence and to depart from vs the which in the end of times must be restored to vs agayne according to the witnesse geuen by the voyce of the Angels This Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen shall so come euen as you haue seene him goe into heauen wherefore behold the miracle behold the misterie and the secrete of the two properties The Sonne of God is departed from vs according to his Manhead but according to his Godhead he sayth I am with you alway vnto the end of the world If he be with vs how sayth he The dayes will come when ye shall desire to see one day of the Sonne of man and ye shall not see it But he is with vs and he is not with vs For these whom he hath left and from whom he is departed touching his Manhead he hath not left neither is he departed from Touching his Godhead For by the forme of a seruant which he hath caried from vs into heauen he is absent from vs but by the forme of God which dooth not depart from vs he is present with vs in earth notwithstanding both present and absent he is vnto vs one and the selfe same FINIS Prou. 27.7 2. thess. 3.10 Mat. 26.20 Mar. 14.22 1.
