A35959	Truths victory over error, or, An abridgement of the chief controversies in religion which since the apostles days to this time, have been, and are in agitation, between those of the Orthodox faith, and all adversaries whatsoever, a list of whose names are set down after the epistle to the reader : wherein, by going through all the chapters of The confession of faith, one by one, and propounding out of them, by way of question, all the controverted assertions, and answering by yes, or no, there is a clear confirmation of the truth, and an evident confutation of what tenets and opinions, are maintain'd by the adversaries : a treatise, most useful for all persons, who desire to be instructed in the true Protestant religion, who would shun in these last days, and perillous times, the infection of errors and heresies, and all dangerous tenets and opinions, contrary to the word of God.

Christ in this Sacrament corporally or carnally in with or under the brèad and wine No. 1 Cor. 10. 16. Well then do not the Lutherians err who maintain that the body and blood of Christ are corporally in with and under the bread and wine and that as the Papists also teach his body and blood are taken corporally by the mouth by all Communicants believers and unbelievers Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because Christ was sitting with his body at the Table 2 Because he himself did eat of the bread and drink of the wine 3 Because he took bread from the Table he took not his own body he break bread and did distribute it he break not his own body so he took the Cup and not his own blood 4 Because Christ said the Cup was the New Testament in his blood but the Cup is not in with and under the Wine 5 Because Christ said the bread was his body which was broken the Wine was his blood which was shed But neither was his body broken under the bread nor his blood shed under the Wine seing Christ as yet was not betrayed crucified and dead In the next place the end of the Lords Supper is that we may remember Christ and declare his death until be come Luke 22. 19. 1 Cor. 11. 24 25 26. Therefore if Christ be now present with his body in with and under the bread the Sacramental remembrance of Christ and the declaring of his death ought to cease This Doctrine of Consubstantiation is contrary to the Articles of our Faith It is against the Truth and Verity of his Humane Nature which is visible palpable and in a certain place circumscriptive It is against the Article of his ascension for it makes his body which is now in Heaven until the last day to be in with and under a piece of bread It is against the spiritual communion of the Saints with Christ the Head which the Lutherians makes by this doctrine a corporal and carnal communion contrary to 1 Cor. 10. 3 4. Ephes. 1. 22. Ephes. 4. 4. Rom. 8. 9. 1 Cor. 6. 17. 1 Iohn 4. 13. Iohn 15. 5. It brings with it many and great absurdities as that the body of Christ Non habeat partem extra partem hath not one part of it without another but as if all the parts of his Body were in one part which is contrary to the Nature of a true and real Quantum which consists essentially in three dimensions length breadth and thickness It makes in effect his Body to be no body It brings down the glorious Body of Christ from Heaven and puts it under the base Elements of this Earth It makes as many bodies of Christ as there are pieces of Eucharistical bread It makes his body to be broken in with and under the bread and bruised with the teeth It sends his Body down to the stomach where it is turned into a mans substance and afterwards throwen out Moreover all true Eating brings life and Salvation Iohn 6. 50 51. but eating by the mouth profiteth nothing Iohn 6. 63. Again our union with Christ and therefore our eating of his Body from whence ariseth this union is not corporal but spiritual Eph. 3. 17. And the Body and Blood of Christ are meat and drink not carnal but spiritual even as the hunger whereby we long for this meat is spiritual and the life to which we are nourished is spiritual and the nutriment is spiritual Lastly according to this Doctrine of Consubstantiation stiffly maintained by the Lutherians it follows that Christ did 〈◊〉 his own body while he did eat the bread of the first supper That his Disciples did eat their Lord and Masters Body That Christ before he was crucified was dead That his Disciples were more cruel and inhumane to him than the Iews were that crucified him That he is often buried within the intrals of wicked men Quest. VI. IS the Body and Blood of Christ as really but spiritually present to the faith of Believers in that Ordinance as the Elements themselves are to the outward senses Yes 1 Cor. 10. 16. Well then do not the Socinians err who maintain that the Body and Blood of Christ in the Sacrament of the Supper are not really present Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because the body of Christ in this Sacrament is spiritually eaten by Believers and his blood is spiritually drunken But a spiritual presence is a true and real presence because it comes and flowes from true and real causes namely from Faith and the Holy Spirit 2 Because in the right use of this Sacrament Christ is united to a man by faith and by the Holy Spirit 1 Cor. 10. 16. 3 Because the body of Christ in so far as it was given to the death and was broken for us on the cross and in so far as his blood was shed for the remission of our sins all these I say are the internal matter of this Sacrament Luke 22. 19. Mat. 26. 28. 1 Cor. 11. 24. 4 Because those who eat and drink unworthily are said not to discern the Lords body and therefore to such as eat and drink worthily the body and blood of Christ must be truely present according to their spiritual sense namely Faith 1 Cor. 11. 24. 5 Because length of time doth not hinder but that Faith may make things past and things to come spiritually present and therefore distance of place doth not hinder but that things most distant as to place may be made spiritually and truely present Heb. 11. 1. Iohn 6. 56. Phil. 3. 10. Heb. 11. 9. Quest. VII ARE all ignorant and ungodly persons as they are unfit to enjoy Communion with Christ unworthy of his Table Yes Can they without great sin against Christ while they continue such partake of these holy Mysteries No. And are not therefore Church-officers to debar those who appear grosly ignorant and scandalous Yes 1 Cor. 11. 27 28 29. and 2 Cor. 6. 14 15. and 1 Cor. 5. 6 7 13. Matth. 7. 6. Well then do not some men err in their Practise if not in their Opinion who suffer many ignorant scandalous and ungoodly persons to come to the Lords Table Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because ignorant and wicked men eating and drinking unworthily are guily of the body and blood of Christ and so bring judgement upon themselves Cor. 11. 29. 2 Because all were not admitted to eat of the Passover neither was it for all promiscuously to partake thereof Numb 9. 6 7. and 2 Chron. 23. 19. Esek 22. 26. 3 Because it was not lawful for any man to come to the Marriage feast that wanted the Wedding garment Matth. 22. 11. 4 Because Pearles are not to be casten before Dogs and Swine men manifestly ungodly and wicked Matth. 7. 6. 5 Because they who deserve to be excluded from the Fellowship and Society of Believers ought not to be admitted to the Sacrament of intimate Communion

Sacrament in substance and nature remain still truely and only bread and wine as they were before Yes Matth. 26. 29. 1 Cor. 11. 26 27 28. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain that the Bredd and Wine by the power of the words of consecration This is my Body are truely Transubstantiat into the very body and blood of Christ nothing remaining but the outward forms and Accidents of the Bread and wine Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because the Doctrine of Transubstantiation makes Christs body every where present invisible that cannot be handled without shape and figure without humane quantity which is contrary to Matth. 26. 6. Here Christ is only present in Bethany And Iohn 20. 27. Thomas toucheth Christ. And according to Acts 3. 21. the Heavens must receive Him and therefore cannot be every where See Heb. 2. 14 17. 2 Because before and after consecration the bread is called the communion of the body of Christ but nothing is said or can be the communion of its own self 1 Cor. 10. 16. 3 Because afrer consecration the Apostle calls not the bread a Species or form of Bread 1 Cor. 11. 26 27 28. And after consecration Christ calls the wine the fruit of the vine Matth. 26. 29. 4 Because Christ did institute the Supper to be a memorial of himself until he come again But a memorial is not of things corporally present but of things absent 1. Cor. 11. 25. 5 Because that which is properly broken is not the body of Christ but the bread is properly broken therefore the bread is not the body of Christ 1 Cor. 10. 16. 6 Because Christ went up to heaven bodily and is to tarry there until the end of the world Acts 3. 21. 7 Transubstantiation destroys the very Essence and being of the Lords Supper First It destroyes the sign because it takes away the substance of the bread and wine the Accidents and outward Forms only remaining Secondly It destroys the thing signified for it robes and spoils the body of Christ of its true quantity and dimensions for according to that infallible Philosophical Maxim sublatis dimensionibus corporis tollitur ipsum corpus That is by taking away the length breadth and thickness of any Physical or Natural body you destroy consequentially the very essence and being of that body and introduces instead of one body many bodies 8 Because Transubstantiation takes away the Sacramental Analogie and so when the sign is turned into the thing signified all similitude between them is gone and ceaseth 9 From this doctrine do follow many great Absurdities inconsistent with Religion Sense and Reason As first that Christ in the Supper did both eat and drink himself that he was wholly in his own mouth that he had a double and twofold body one Visible another Invisible That a Mouse or Rat may eat Christs Body That his body being reserved and laid up into a Cupboard in a short time may turn into Vermine Must not Christs body be in many places at once Must not his body and all the parts thereof his head hands and feet be in the smallest and least crumb of the Host Must not Christs body having now that bigness in Heaven which he had upon Earth be biger than it self longer and thicker If Christs Body may be in diverse places at once why may not a mans body be in diverse places at once this is granted by the Adversaries but a man cannot be in diverse places at once Can Peter for example be both at Edinburgh and London in the same moment of time He may then be both a man and not a man at the same time he may be a man because living at Edinburgh and not a man because dead at London May not Peter at Edinburgh go to York and meet Peter there from London And what a mirry meeting must it be when Peter shakes hands with Peter and takes a glass of Wine from him May not Peter from London be killed there at York and Peter from Edinburgh be left alive May not Peter alive be re-produced in a thousand Cities at once and marry there a thousand wives and beget in one night a thousand Sons and Daughters May not Peter be so many times re-produced till he make up an hundred thousand fighting men May not one candle by re-production be made as many as may give light to the whole Universe May not one bottle of water be made so many as may serve an Army of an hundred thousand May not one Guiney be reproduced as many times as may amount to five and twenty hundred thousand pounds sterling A brave invention for paying five or six hundred thousand merks of debt Next as the Adversaries are engaged to maintaine that one body may be in many places a once so are they under a necessity to affirm that many bodies may be in one place together by way of Penetration for in every crumb of the Host is Christs Body From which position it follows that a mans body may be contained within a Nut-shel That a Snuff-box may contain Athurs Seat the hollow of an Ox eye the whole Globe of the Earth That a Sparrow may swallow one by one the seven Planets seeing each one of them may occupy no more bounds or space than a grain of barly corn doth and yet the Sun which is swallowed will be as big as at present for Christs body in the Host is as big and tall as when he was on the Cross as the Adversaries confess 10 We never read of a miracle wrought by GOD but what was evident and conspicuous to all and evidently seen to be such As when Moses his rod was turned into a Serpent and became a rod again Exod. 4. 2 3. Such were the wonders of Egypt Such was the dividing of the Red Sea the stricking of the Rock and the flowing out of the waters Numb 20. 11. The destruction of Korah Dathan and Abiram was evident to all the Israelites Numb 16. 31 32. So were the miracles which were wrought by the holy Prophets such were the miracles which Christ and his Apostles wrought Was not the water most evidently turned into wine Iohn 2. 7 8 9. But after the Words of consecrationn uttered by the Mass Priest the bread as to sense is the same thing it was The bread hath the same taste thè same smell that same touch that same outward form and figure that same colour that same weight It occupies that same space and bounds and hath the same quantity in all its dimensions But the rod was seen a serpent and the serpent was seen a rod. The water was seen wine it was known to be wine by the taste by the smell by the colour Christ never wrought such a miracle as the miracle of Transubstantiation In all his miracles he appealed to our outward Senses And was it ever heard that Christ wrought miracles without a necessity Quest. V. IS the Body and Blood of
