The water which moyses chaunged into bloude as it was ī nature bloud so outwardly it semed bloud Euē so questionles shuld the bread wyne leaue the outward shape wyth theyr inwarde substaūce yf they were altered into christes bodye and bloud By reason wherof sythe they reteygne styl theyr accidentes nedes must they also reteigne theyr wonted substance can ther be any sacramēt as S. Augustyne sayth without therin the due elemēt fyt word of god belonginge ther vnto be ioyntlye coupled togethers No verely How than can the outward apperaunce of bread wyne without theyr inward substāce be the sacramentes of christes body bloud for the outward apperaūce of bread wyne be none elemētes but only thexternal shewes of the same Elemētes be substāce not accidētal shewes Is it not true that in thee consacrate bread ther are wormes both engendered fosterd whych could not be yf ther endured the bread lyke natured after as it was before the consecracion For eche worme is a substance and none accydent therfore cannot be engendered or fedde of an accydente but of a substaunce alone In respect wherof sythe the wormes brede and fede not in Christes bodye but in thee consecrate bread we must remedyles acknowledge in the same bread to contynue thee verye proper substaunce therof The bread and wyne be sacramētes of Christes body and bloude ordeyned of him purposely to enstructe oure senses outwardelye what is wrought inwardly by the sayd bodye and bloud in the soule For theyr vse is to declare too our outward senses assuredly the as the receaued bread and wyne norishe strengthen and glad our bodyes so christes body eaten hys bloud dronken accordyngly do oure soules Howe coulde the bread wyne serue to hys purpose yf they were vtterly diuoided of theyr accostumed nature Verely no
maner wyse For why it is the alone substaunce of bread and wyne and not the colour taste facyon of the same that fostereth and cherysheth the body Sacramentes sayth Augustyn vnlesse they haue certayne lykelyhode wyth the thynges wherof they be sygnes they be no Sacramētes at al. What semblance I beseche you is ther betwyxte the natureles bread and wyne and christes body and bloud questionles none at all For the sayde body and bloude and that after papysshe doctryne be not presented exhibited at the cōmuniō accidētally but substācially only In respect wherof nedes must we grāt eyther the cōsecrate bread wyne be not the sacramēte of Christes body and bloud whiche we ought not to do eyther else thee sayd bread wyne reteygne styl theyr owne natures whyche is grantable I maruel me muche that many of thē who stand in the defence of christes corporal presence at his supper haue in earnest meyntenaunce trāsubstāciation for as me semethe it doeth moch what hinder preiudice the sayd presence of christ in the sayd hys supper by reason the brokē bread blessed wyne be institute purposely to resolue and ascertayn our senses that we as materially truly thoughe not grosselyer sensyblie but ghostly receaue and eate Christes body drinke his bloud as we do the foresayd In consideratiō wherof yf we take eate drinke but the accidentes of thee foresayde bread wine not the very substaunces of the same thē gatherable it were christes bodye and bloud be not truely but faynedly presented gyuen at hys supper For why ▪ yf the signe be coūterfayt fayned thē nedes must the thing be in semblable sorte whyche is betokened thereby a true matter must remediles haue his tokē also true In respect wherof the brokē bread being the sygne geuē of the sayd body is material not mattierles thys thensuyng saying which graciā reporteth fathereth vpō Austyne de cōsecrat distint ii cap. qui manducat enforceth moche to the dysproue dampnation of transubstanciation That is sene is bread and the cup wherof the eyes also make euidēt profe but that that faythe demaundeth to be instructed in is that the bread is Christes bodye and the cuppe hys bloud These therfore be named sacramentes for that in them one thyng is se able and another vnderstande that is s●ne hath bodelye fourme that is vnderstand hath ghostly fruyt● What can be more effectually expresselye spoken agaynste tornekynde then thys the rehersed Englysshed sentence of Augustyne Fyrst he auoucheth therin the seable matter to be bread secondelye for an vndeceaueable argumente and tryall therof he alledgeth the testimonye of thee eyes Thyrdly he sayth not that is seeable is a bodelye fourme but hathe a corporall fourme leste anye man shulde here be occasyoned too adiudge the mattier to want in thys element and so to remayne nothynge else but thee outwarde and accydentall shape of breade For in that he saythe that that is seene hathe a corporal fourme he graunteth in thee elemente twoo thynges to bee remaynynge thee thynge hadde and thee thynge hauyng thee outwarde fassyon whych is seable and the subiecte and matter therof it is to wytt the bread substaunce and the excernall apperaunce of the same The sacramente of Thankesgeuynge saythe Irenee consystethe vpon twoo matters or substaunces thee one earthely thee other heauenlye Yf bread substaunce were departed thē could not Irenee leyfully call the one part of the sacramēt a substaūce but an earthlye accidente The worthy counsayl of Nece wryteth to the disalowaūce of trāsubstātiatiō in sorte thus Let vs not grossely beholde the bread wyne proposed set before our eyes but in faythe consyder the lambe yf god in that hys sacred table hauing our hartes eleuate vplifted loe here the worthy counsel nameth the feble portyon of the sacrament after the cōsecration bread wyne not the formes of the same Gelasius in open expresse wordes impugneth the sayd transubstanciatiō as erronyouse vncredyble in sorte as followeth The sacramētes of the body bloud of christ which we receaue ar sureli godly matters therfore through by thē we ar made partakers of the godly nature yet do they not ceasse to be the substances of bread wyne but cōtinue in the properties of theyr owne natures wher as Austyne sayth the lord doubted not to say thys is my body whē he gaue a sygne of hys body he meanethe not that christes body is absented frō hys supper but that the consecrate bread is not the sayd body or turned substancially in to the same is but the signe of christes body notwythstādinge it be named hys body Notwithstanding Tertullian Ambrose Ierome Chrisostome wythe others whyche expresly in theyr wrytynges the consecrate bread to represent Christes body to be a signe therof howbeit in those soch other semblable theyr speaches theyr meanyng is not that the sayd bread is deuoided of Christes bodely presence and presentment but that the consecrate bread is but thee sacramentall sygne of christes bodye and not christes body selue thoughe it be termed sacramentallye the sayd bodye Nowe wyll I assoyle certayne obiections and gayn sayinges facyoned of the catholiques agaynst the premysses Yf say they the bred nature were not tornekynded into christes body why dyd he name it hys bodye Can it be hys bodye onles it be exchaunged into it Cā I be you wythout I become your substance No verely No more can thee bread be christes body wythoute the exchaūge of the matter therof into the sayd body As for the accidentes of thee sayd bread it is not requisite ne nedefull that they shuld be together chaunged wythe theyr substaunce because christe in thys hys sayinge this is my body vseth the artycle demonstratyue thys not in the masculine but in the newtre gendre whyche implyeth but the alone matter of the bread and not accidentes of thee same therwyth as the masculine doeth Whereby christ doeth vs tunderstand that the bread nature is only altered not his accidētes ī lyke maner To this obiection soche is myne answere Christ in thys hys sayinge this is my body doeth institute the sacrament of hys bodye and bloud therfore he speaketh vpon the same sacramentally it is to wyt he termeth the signe by thee name of thee matter therby sygnyfyed He nameth the consecrate bread hys bodye for that it is resembled and presented therby baptyse is named the founteyn of our agayn byrth the renuinge of the holy ghost yet is it nether our newe byrth nether thee renuyng of the holi ghost ne chaūged into thē but so called for the therby the sayd byrth renuing be not only represented but also wraughte presented and contributed vnto vs Gene 15 Circūcistō was not in very dede the couenaunt made vnto Abraham ne altered into it howbeit it was so turned in consyderatiō it dyd bothe represent and present the same couenaunt to
