Doctor comming so neere the Lords Supper as bringing out the words of the Institution and handling so curiously withall the place of the Prophet Malachy yet not hit vpon the Masse sacrifice surely it may bee well supposed the Masse was not in his dayes To proceede to the rest for of these Offerings the Bread and Wine are not the Body and Blood of Christ but the materialls of the things as the Doctor saith which God hath no neede of we haue I meane Christ himselfe So the oyle was for Lamps may be as the Frankensence for odours That at the first had so the name of Offerings that the Masse Priest may mistake them in the Canon of his Masse to be the things hee striueth for Tertullian is Aduersus Iudae●s the next Doctor he saith that the pure sacrifice is a spirituall sacrifice and a pure conscience Chrysostome saith it is the mysticall Table and the reuerent sacrifice vpon it In Psalm 95. This is it you will say but the Doctor saith it is done without an Altar then not sacrificed by vs but offered as already sacrificed by Christ for if no Altar then no Masse Hierome that Doctor saith it is the prayers of the Saints Eusebius saith it is religious Hymnes and holy Prayers De d●menstr L. 1. c. 10. Contra Iuli. l. 9. De ciuit l. 20. c. 25. In Heb. ch 8. In Malac. Cyrillus saith it is meant of Christians worshipping God euery where Augustine that Doctor interpreteth it of Saints offering themselues Ambrose saith our heauenly Altar is our faith in which wee offer our daily Prayers Theodoret doth expound the place of spirituall sacrifices These Doctors being the most famous Doctors of the Church and all in their Expositions not hitting vpon the Masse how can it then be true that this place cannot be otherwise expounded then of the Masse But I suppose S. Paul the Doctor of vs Gentiles doth expound the place where he saith I will therefore that men pray exery 1. Tim. 2. 8. where lifting vp holy hands and as it is translated pure hands without wrath or doubting And thus for the Doctors of the Church and to the Papists I say they are rather in this matter Sophisticae verborum quam Discipuli veritatis Sophisters of words not Disciples of the truth As one said to a Iesuite in the Councell of Trent that hee had taught them to vse Sophistrie in the simplicity of Christs Religion But to auoide all Sophistry I make a third triall which is the practise of the Church where I say the Masse is a nullity euen a nothing and here I make vse of the Plea at Common Law where when an auncient Graunt is in question they enquire after the Vsier of it as they terme it how that was continued from the first time of the Graunt The like will I doe in my Plea against the Masse And I will aske the Masse-Priest where his Altar stoode in olde times and I will answer him my selfe for it stood in the middle of the Church What else it had railes about it and those called the Chauncell What was vpon it I answere a great Cake or Loafe What besides a knife called sacra lancea the holy Speare besides also other Chrysost Liturgie dishes What was done there I answere the Bread and Wine was deliuered to them that reached out their hands to receiue it In what garments did he stand I answere the Apostles and their successours as it is confessed by Eus●b lib. 7. 18. Rosar B. Mariae themselues celebrated in quotidianis vestibus in the garments they ware euery day This being the Vsier in auncient times Now I will aske a Masse Priest whether this be his Masse or not and withall I will bid him come downe from his Altar and stand at a Table in the middest of the Church with a great Cake or Loafe vpon it his knife by it and then say if he can say so we are of a new Religion And now I will answer when the olde Religion went out euen when the Table that stoode in the middle of the Church euen a boord Table was turned into a stone Altar placed at the vpper end of the Church the loafe of Bread turned into a little round thinne Wafer-Cake and the knife out of vse and holy vestments deuised for the Priest confessed therefore it must be that the Masse is a latter and a new inuention not the Institution of Christ And if you aske when this was done let the Masse Priest tell it for a man will come by his goods though he cannot tell when and at what time the Thiefe stole it But he may answer it is the Church that hath done it that is I say men deuised it for in Scripture speech when God hath set downe what he will haue done the after doings are called the inuentions of men as when our Sauiour alledgeth out of the Prophet That the feare of God was taught Math. 15. 9. by the precepts of men those men were the Elders of the Church the Gouernours of the Church that is the Church But as Dauid saith I hate inuentions but thy law Psal 119. 113 doe I loue And now I will apply those words of the Prophet Ieremie as stand in the wayes and looke and aske after Ierem. 6. 16. the olde way and walk● therein and you shall finde rest for your soules And if you will haue proofe of these things first for the boord Table St. Augustine telleth of the Donatists Ep. ad Bonifa Durandus that in their anger brake the boords of the Altar And let not the word Altar trouble you for it is but a borrowed word from the olde Testament for it was a boord Table and as for the Loafe a Writer of theirs saith that in olde time it was a great Loafe sufficient for all the Communicants and why is it not that which St. Paul saith as that we are all partakers of one Bread which thing is so 1. Cor. 10. 17. obserued that Chrysostom that Doctor of the Church saith vpon that place in this manner Not of another body this man of another body that man but all of one body are fed and nourished S. Augustine also saith Knoweth he not that euen Ep. 86. now he is to eate part of the body of that immaculate Lambe Strange kindes of speaches of two such famous Doctors and contrary to the Councell of Trent That decreeth that De Sacri Euch. can 3. Christ must be taken to be whole in Diuinitie soule and body and in euery parcell of the bread for euery man by himselfe to participate But these Doctors bewray another matter as that the Lords Supper is to be eaten in an vnderstanding so not so indeede In an vnderstanding all the houshold of Gods Elect haue eaten doe and shall eate of that onely Body which was broken at the Crosse And eating it in such an vnderstanding we shall
