take those thynges in verite whych at thys tyme we take in fygure He sayeth that these thynges be done in fygure and not in verite That is by a symilitude not by the manifestacyon of the thynge it selfe The fygure and the verite do dyffer betwene them selues Wherfore the body and bloud that be now celebrate in the churche do dyffer frō the body and thy bloude whyche ar now knowē to be glorifyed by the resurrection thys body is the pledge the figure the other is the verye natural body Thys we celebrate vnto such tyme as we may come to the other and after that we shall come to it the sacramētall body shal be remoued nowe we se that thes too bodyes differ asmuche the one frō the other as the pledge doth from the thynge for whych it is left and as the ymage differeth from the thynge wherfore it is the ymage● and as the fygure differeth from the verite thus it is playne that the mysterye of the body bloude of christ whych is receyued of the faythful in the churche differeth frō the sayde body that was borne of marye the virgyn that suffered was buryed that rose agayne ascēded into heauē sytteth on the ryght hande of the father For thys whych is celebrate in the way muste be spiritually vnderstande for fayth beleueth that thynge whych he seeth not that fedeth the soule spiritually maketh glad the harte gyueth euerlastynge lyfe incorruption Whyles no hede is takē to the thyng that fedeth the body that is pressed wyth the teeth that is brokē in pecys but that thynge whych is takē in fayth spiritually but that body in the whych christ suffered rose agayne is hys proper bodye takē of the virgyne marye palpable visyble ye after hys resurrection he sayth to his disciples Why be you troubled why do fantises occupie youre hartes loke vpō my fete and my hande for I am he grope and see for a spryte hath no fleshe nor bones as ye se that I haue Let vs also here what saynte fulgencius sayeth in hys boke of fayth beleue stedfastly doute not but the onelye beggottē sonne of god the worde was made fleshe that he offered hym selfe for vs as a sacrifice to god in the order of swetnes vnto whō wyth the father the holy gost the patriarkes the prophetes the priests of the olde testamēt dyd sacrifice beastes vnto whō wyth the father the holye ghost wyth whō he hath lyke deuynite the holy vnyuersal church through out all the world● seaseth not in fayth charite nowe to offer the sacrafice of breade wyne In thos fleshely sacrifyces was the significaciō of the fleshe of christ whych he offered for our synnes a significacion of the bloude that he shede for the remission of our synnes but in sacrifice of breade wyne is the action of thankes the cōmemoraciō of the fleshe of christ that he offered for vs of the bloude that he shedde for vs Wherof of Saynte Paule speaketh in the actes of the apostles sayenge take hede to you youre vniuersall flocke in the whyche the holye gooste hath made you byshopes to gouerne the church of god that he hath acquyred wyth hys bloude therfore in the former sacr●fyces it was sygnifyed figuratyuely what shoulde be gyuen vs in thys it is euydently shewed what is gyuen vs already for asmuche as he sayeth that in the former sacrifyces it was sygnifyed what shold be geuen vs in thys sacrifice we remēbre what is gyuen vs already He declareth that as the sacrifices of the olde lawe was fygures of the thynge that was it to com● so thys sacryfice is a figure of the thyng which is already past By these wordes he hath moste playnly shewed how muche difference is betwene the body in whych christ suffered the body whych is celebrate in the remēbraunce of hys passiō death for the bodye wherin he suffered is the proper the verye body hauyng no mysterie nor fygure in hym But thys is a mystycall body shewying one thynge externely by a fygure representyng an other thynge internly through the intellec●iō of fayth Yt let vs adde an other testymoney of saynte Austen that shall both affyrme oure wordes fynyshe oure oracion In the sermone that he made to the people touchyng the sacrament of the alter he sayeth thus The thynge whych you se in the alter of god was sene of you the last nyght but what it is or what it meaneth or of how● great a thyne it conteyneth the sacrament ye haue not it hearde The thyng whych you se is bread wyne that your ●●●s do argue but as your fayth requyreth to be instructe the bread is the body of christ the wyne hys bloude it is quyckely sayed that fayth perauenture is sufficient but fayth doughtles neadeth instructiō Esa ●vi sayeth Except ye beleue ye shal not vnderstāde Therfore you maye saye vnto me syr ye haue cōmaunded vs to beleue now expounde to vs howe we may vnderstande suche a cogitaciō maye ryse in some mans mynde Ye knowe that our Lord Iesus toke hys flesshe of the virgyn marye that he beyng an infante dyd socke was noryshed growed to a mans age and brought to persecution of the Iewes suffered vpō a crosse was kylled takē frō the crosse was buryed and rose agayne the thyrde daye and at hys pleasure ascendyd vnto heauen and carryed hys body thether from whence he shall come to iudge the quycke and deade and there is he nowe syttyng of the ryght hande of the father how therfore is the breade hys bodye and the wyne hys bloude thes good brethren be called sacraments bycause that one thynge is sene in thē and an other vnderstande that whych is sene hath a corporall forme that whych is not sene hath a spirituall frute In thes wordes thy worshypfull auctor instructyng vs what we ought to thynke of the proper bodye of the Lord that was borne of marye and sytteth nowe on the ryght hande of the father in the whych he shall come to iudge the quycke the deade Also what we ought to thynke of the body set on the alter wherof the people be partakers the very bodye is hole and not deuyded wyth any sectiō neyther couered wyth any fygures but thys bodye sette on the table of the Lorde is a fygure because it is a sacrament And the externe thynge whyche is sene hath a corporall forme that feadeth the body but the interne thyng whych is vnderstande hath a spirituall fruite that quyckeneth the soule and he wyllynge to speake more playnly and manyfestly of the mysticall bodye sayeth thus yf you wyll vnderstande the body of the Lord heare the Apostell sayenge you be the bodye of christe And the membres Therfore yf ye be the bodye of
