oughte to bee restraigned or kepte backe therefrom no not the very babes of ChristiaÌs forsomuche as they be borne in sinne and do pertaine vnto the people of God We say that Eucharistia the supper of the lorde is a sacramente that is to wytte an euident token of the body and blood of Christe wherein is set as it were before our eyes the death of Christ and his resurrectioÌ and what act so euer he did whilest he was in his mortall body to thende we may giue hym thankes for his deathe and for our deliueraunce And y t by the often receauinge of this sacramente wee may daily renewe the remembraunce of that matter to thintent we being fedd with the body and blood of Christ may be brought into the hope of the resurrectioÌ and of euerlasting life and may moste assuredly beleue that the bodye and blood of Christe dothe in like manner feede our soules as breade and wine doth feede our bodies To this baÌkett wee thinke the people of God ought to be earnestly bidden that they may all communicate amonge them selues and openly declare and testifie both the godly societie whiche is amonge them and also the hope which they haue in Christ Ihesu For this cause yf there had ben any which would be but a looker on and abstaine from the holy CoÌmunion him did the old fathers Byshops of Rome in the primatiue Church before Priuate masse came vp excoÌmunicate as a wicked persoÌ and as a Pagan Neither was there any Christian at that tyme which dyd communicat alone whyls other looked on For so did Calixtus in times past decree that after the consecration was finished all should communicate excepte they had rather stande without the Churche doores bycause thus saith he did the Apostles apoincte and the same the holye Churche of Rome keepeth still Moreouer when the people commeth to the holy communion the Sacrament ought to be giuen them in both kindes for so both Christe hath commaunded and the apostles in euery place haue ordayned and all the auncient Fathers and Catholique Bysshops haue folowed the same And whoso doth contrary to this he as Gelasius sayth committeth sacriledge And therefore wee saye that oure Aduersaries at this daye who hauinge violentlye thruste out and quite forbidden the holye Communion dooe without the woorde of God without the authoritie of any auncient Councell without any catholique Father without any example of y e primatiue Church yea and without reason also defend and maintaine their priuate Masses and the manglinge of the Sacramentes and do this not onely against the plaine expresse commandement and bidding of Christe but also against al antiquitie do wickedly therin and are very Church robbers We affirme that breade and wine are holy and heauenly mysteries of the bodie bloud of Christ that by them Christ himselfe being y e tru bread of eternal life âs so presently giuen vnto vs as that by faith we verely receaue his body and his bloud Yet say we not this so as though we thought that the nature of bread and wine is clearly changed and goeth to nothing as many haue dreamed in these later times which yet could neuer agree among themself of this their dreame For y t was not Christes meaning y t the wheaâen bread should laye apart his owne nature receaue a certain new diuinitie but y t he might rather chaunge vs to vse Theophilactus woordes might transforme vs into his bodie For what can he said more plainly then y t whiche Ambrose saith Bread wine remain stil the same thei were before yet are changed vnto an other thing or y t which Gelasius saith y e substance of y e bread or y e nature of y e wine ceaseth not so to be or y t which Theodorete saith After the consecratioÌ the mysticall signes do not cast of their owne propre nature for they remaine stil in their former substaunce forme and kynde Or that whiche Augustine saith That whiche ye see is the bread and Cuppe and so our eyes tell vs but that which your faith requireth to be taught is this The bread is the body of Christ the Cuppe ys his bloud Or y t whiche Origene saith Bread which is sanctified by the word of God as touching y e material substauÌce therof goeth into y e belly and is cast out into the priuey Or that which Christ him selfe said not only after y e blessing of the cup but after he had ministred the Comunion I will drinke nomore of this frute of the vyne It is well knowen that the fruit of the vyne ys wine and not bloud And in spaekyng thus we meane not to abase the Lordes supper or to teache that yt is but a could ceremonie onely nothing to be wrought therin as many falsely slaunder vs we the ache For wee ãâã that Christ doth truely and presently giue his owne selfe in his Sacramentes In baptisme that wee may put him on and in his supper that we may eate him by faith spirit and may haue euerlasting lyfe by his crosse and bloud And we say not this is done slightly and couldely but effectually and truely For although we do not touche the body of Christ with teeâhe and mouth yet wee hold him fast and eate him by faith by vnderstanding and by the spirit And this is no vaine faith whiche doth comprehend Christ and that is not receiued with colde deuotion whiche is receiued with vnderstanding with faith with ãâã For Christ him selfe altogither is so offred giuen vs in these mysteries that we may certainly know we be flesh of his fleshe and bone of his bones and that Christ continueth in vs and wee in ãâã And therefore in celebrating these mysteries y e people are to good purpose exhorted before they come to receaue the holy communion to lift vp their hearts to direct their mindes to heauen ward bicause he is there by whom we must be full fedde and liue Cyrill saith when we come to receaue these mysteries al grosse ymaginations must quite be bannished ⪠The councell of Nice as is alleadged by some in greeke plainly forbiddeth vs to be basely affectioned or bent toward the bread and wine which are set before vs. And as Chrysostome very aptly wryteth We say that the body of Christe is the dead carcas and we our selues must be the Egles ⪠meaning thereby that we must flie hye if wee will come vnto the body of Christe For this table as Chrysostome saith is a table of Egles and not of Ieyes Cyprian also This bread saith he is the foode of the soule and not the meate of the belly And Augustine How shall I holde him saith he which is absent how shall I reache my hand vp to heauen to laye holde vpon him that sitteth there He aunswereth Reache thyther thy faythe and then thou hast layde holde on
loke for none other and forasmuche as it was to be offered but once wee commaund it not to be renewed againe And bicause it was full perfite in all points and partes wee doe not ordaine in place thereof anye continuall succession of offeringes Besides though wee saye we haue no meede at all by oure owne woorkes and deedes but apoint all the meane of oure saluation to be in Christe alone yet say we not that for this cause men ought to liue looslie and dissolutely nor that it is ynough for a Christian to be Baptized onely and to belieue as though there were nothing els required at his hande for true faith is liuely and can in no wise be idell Thus therefore âeaâhe wee the people that God hath called vs not to folowe ryât and wantonnes but as Paul saithe vnto good woorkes to walke in them That God hath plucked vs oute from the power of darkenes to serue the liuinge God to cutte away all the remnauntes of sinne and to worke oure saluation in feare and tremblinge that it may apere how that y e Spirit of saÌctification is in oure bodies and that Christ himselfe doth dwell in our heartes To conclude we beleue that this our selfe same flesh wherin we liue although it dye and come to dust yet at the last day it shall retourne againe to lyfe by the meanes of Christes spirite which dweleth in vs and that then verely whatsoeuer we suffer heere in the meane whyle for his sake Christ wil wipe from of our eies all teares lamentation that we through him shall enioy euerlasting life and shall for euer be with him in glory So be it Beholde these are the horrible heresies for the which a good parte of the world is at this day condemned by the Byshop of Rome and yet were neuer hearde to pleade their cause He should haue commenced his sute rather against Christe against the Apostles and against the holy fathers For these thinges did not only procede from them but were also apointed by them except perhaps these menne will say as I thinke they will in deede that Christe hath not instituted the holy Communion to be diuided amongest the faithfull Or that Christes apostles and the auncient fathers haue saide Priuate masses in euery corner of the Temples nowe tenne now twenty togithers in one day Or that Christ and hys Apostls bannished all the common people from the Sacrament of his bloud or that the thing whiche them selues do at this day euery wheare and do it so as they condemne him for an heritike whiche dothe otherwise ys not called of Gelasius their owne doctour plaine sacriledge or ãâã these be not y e very words of Ambrose Augustine Gelasius Theodorete Chrysostome Origene The bread and wine in the Sacramentes remaine still the same they were before The thing which is seene vpon the holye table is breade there ceaseth not to be still the substaunce of breade and nature of wyne the substance and nature of bread are not changed the selfe same breade as touchinge the materiall substaunce goâth into the bellie and is cast out into the pryuei Or that Christe the Apostles and holy fathers prayed not in that tongue whiche the people might vnderstande Or that Christe hath not performed all thinges by that one offering which he once offered or that the same Sacrifice was imperfect and so now we haue neede of an other All these thinges must they of neâcessitie say onlesse perchance thei had rather lay thus that all lawe and right is locked vp in the treasurie of the Popes breaste and that as once one of his southinge pages and clawbackes did not sticke to say the Pope is able to dispence against the Apostles against a councell against y e CanoÌs rules of y e Apostls and y t he is not bound to stand neither to y e examples nor to the ordinuÌaces nor to y e lawes of Christ. We for our parts haue learned these thinges of Christe of the Apostles of the deuout fathers and dooe sincerely and with good faith teache the people of God the same Whiche thinge is the onely cause whye wee at this daye ar called heretikes of the chiefe prelates no doubt of ReligioÌ O immortal God hath Christ him selfe then y e Apostles so many Fathers al at once gon a stray were then Origene Ambrose Augustin Chrysostome Gelasius Theodoret forsakers of the catholique faith was so notable a consent of so manye auncient Byshoppes and learned menne nothing els but a conspiracye of heretiques Or is that nowe condemned in vs whiche was then commended in them Or is the thyng nowe by alteration onely of mens affection sodenly becoÌme shismatique whiche in them was compted catholique Or shall that whiche in times past was true nowe by and by bycause it liketh not these men be iudged false Let them then bring furth another Gospell and let them shew the causes why these thinges which so long haue openly ben obserued and well alowed in the Churche of God ought nowe in thend be called in againe Wee knowe well ynoughe that the same worde whiche was opened by Christ spred abrode by the Apostles is sufficient both our saluacion and al trueth to vp holde mayntein and also to confounde all maner of heresie By that Woâd only do we condemne all sortes of the olde heretiques whom these men say we haue called out of hell againe ⪠As for the Arrians the Eutychians the Marcionites y e Ebionites the Valentinians the Carpocratians the Tatians the Nouatians and shortelie all them which haue had a wicked opinion eyther of God the Father or of Christ or of the holy Ghoste or of any other poinct of Christian Religion ⪠for somuche as they be confuted by the Gospell of Christ we plainly pronunââ them for detestable and cast awaye personnes and defye them euen vnto the dyuell Neyther do wee leaue them so but we also seuerely and straitely hold them in by lawful and politick punishemeÌtes yf they fortune to breake out any wherâ and bewraye themselues In deede we graunt that certain new and very straunge sectes as the Anabaptistes Libertines MeneniaÌs Zuenkfeldians haue ben stirring in the worlde euersence the Gospel did first spring But the worlde seeth now right wel thankes be giuen to our God that wee neyther haue bredd nor taught nor kept vp these Monstres In good fellowship I pray the whosoeuer thou be read our bokes they are to be sould in euery placeâ What hath there euer ben written by any of our coÌpany which might plainely beare with the madnes of any of those heretiques Nay I saye vnto you there is no countrie at this daye so free from their pestilent infections as they be wherein the gospel is freely and coÌmonly taught So that yf they wey the very matter w t earnest and vpright aduisement this thing is a great argumeÌt y t this same is the very truth
many Prynces only vppon his owne blynd preiudices and foredeterminations and y t without hearing of them speak or without shewing cause whye But bycause he hath alredy so noted vs openlye least by holdynge oure peace we should seme to graunt a fault and specially bycause we can by no meane haue audience in y e publik assembly of the general Councel wherein he would no creature should haue power to geue his voice or declare his opinion excepte he were sworne and straightly bounde to maintaine his aucthoritie For wee haue had good experience hereof in his last conference at the councel at Trident where the embassadours diuines of the Princes of Germany and of the free Cities were quite shutte out from their company nother can we yet forget how Iulius the third aboue ten yeares past prouided warely by his writt that none of our sorte shoulde bee suffered to speake in the Councell except there were som paraduenture y t wolde recante and chaunge his opinion For this cause chieflye we thoughte it good to yelde vp an accoumpte of oure faith in writing truely and openly to make aunswere to those things wherwith wee haue ben openly charged to thende the worlde may see the partes and foundacions of that doctrine in the behalfe whereof so many good men haue litle regarded their oune lyues And y t al men may vnderstand what manner of people they be and what opinion they haue of God and of Religion whome the Bysshop of Rome before they were called to tell theire tale hath condemned for heretikes without any good consideratioÌ without any exaumple vtterly without lawe or righte onelye bycause he hearde tell that they did dissente from hym and his in som pointe of Religion And although S. Hierome would haue no bodie to be patient when he is suspected of heresy yet we wil deal herein nether bitterly nor brablingly nor yet be caried away w t angre heate though he ought to be reckned neither bitter nor brabler y t speaketh y e truth We willingly leaue thys kynde of eloquence to oure aduersaries who whatsoeuer they say against vs be it neuer so shrewdly or dipitefully sayde yet thinke it is sayd modestely and comely ynough and care nothing whether it be trew or false Wee neede none of these shyftes which do maintaine the truthe Further yf wee do shewe it plaine that Gods holie Gospell the aunciente Byshops and the primatiue Churche do make on our syde and that wee haue not without iust cause left these men and rather haue retourned to the Apostles and oulde catholique Fathers And yf wee shall be founde to doe the same not coulorably or craftely but in good faith before God truly honestly cleerely and plainly and yf they theÌselues which âye our doctrine and woulde be called Catholiks shall manifestly see how al those titles of antiquitie whereof they boste so much ar quite shaken out of their haÌds and that there is more pith in this oure cause then they thoughte for wee then hope and trust that none of them wil be so negligent and careles of his own saluation but he will at length studye and bethinke him selfe to whether parte hee were best to ioyne him Vndoubtedlye excepte one will altogether harden his hearte and refuse to heare he shal not repent him to geue good heede to this out defence and to mark well what wee say how truly and iustly it agreeth with Christian Religion For where they call vs Heretikes it is a crime so haynous y t onles it may be seene vnles it may be felt in maÌner may be holdeÌ with hands and fingers it ought not lightly to be iudged or beleued when it is âaide to the charge of any Christian man For heresy is a âorsaking of saluatioÌ a renouncing of Gods grace a departing from the body and spirite of Christe But this was euer an olde and solempne propretye with them and theire forefathers yf any did complaine of their errours and faultes and desired to haue true Religion restored streighte waye to coÌdemne such one for heretikes as men new fangled factious Christe for no nother cause was called a Samaritan but onely for y t he was thoughte to haue fallen to a certaine newe Religion and to be the Aucthor of a newe sect And Paul thapostle of CHRISTE was called before the Iudges to make aunswere to a matter of heresy and therfore hee saied Acordinge to this way whiche they call Heresye I doo worshippe the God of my Fathers beleeuinge all thinges which be written in the law and in the Prophets Shortely to speake This vniuersal Religion whiche Christen men professe at this day was called firste of the heathen people a Sect Heresy With these termes did they alwaies fil priÌces eares to thintent when they had once hated vs with a foredetermined opinion and had coumpted all that wee sayed to bee faction and heresy they might be so ledd away from y e truth right vnderstaÌding of the cause But the more sore and outragious a crime heresye is the more it ought to be proued by plaine and strong argumentes especially in this time wheÌ men begin to geue lesse credite to theyre words to make more diligent searche of theyr doctrine then they were wont to do For y e people of God ar otherwyse instructed now then they were in times past when all the Bysshopps of Romes sayenges were allowed for Gospell when all Religion did depende only vpon their aucthoritie Nowe a daies the holie scripture is abroad the writinges of the Apostles Prophets ar in printe whereby all truth and Catholyke doctrine may be proued and all heresie may be disproued and confuted Sithens then they bring furth none of these for them selues and call vs neuertheles Heretiques which haue nether fallen from Christ nor from y e Apostles nor yet from the Prophets this ys an iniurious and a very spitefull dealinge With this sword did Christe put of the Dyuel when he was tempted of him w c these weapons oughte all presumption which doth auauÌce it selfe against God to be ouerthrowen and coÌquered For al Scripture sayeth S. Paule that commeth by the inspiration of God is profitable to teach to confute to instruct and to reproue that the man of God may be perfect and throughly framed to euery good work Thus did the holy Fathers alway fight agaynst the heretikes with none other force then with y e holy scriptures S.

of the furnesse and to say trouth we haue ben cast out by these menn beyng cursed of them as they vse to saye with boke bel and candell rather then haue gon awaye from them of our selues And wee are come to that Churche wherein they themselues cannot denye if thei wil say truely and as thei thinke in their owne conscience but all thinges be gouerned purely and reuerently and asmuch as we possibly could very neere to the order vsed in the olde time Let them compare our Churches and theirs togither and they shall see that themselues haue moste shamefully gon from the Apostles and we moste iustely haue gon from them For we folowinge the exaumple of Christ of the Apostles and the holy fatherâ giue the people the holye Communion whole and perfite But these men contrary to all y e fathers to all the Apostles and contrarye to Christ himself do seuer the sacraments and plucke away the one parte from the people and that with moste notorious sacriledge as Gelasius termeth yt Wee haue broughte againe the Lords supper vnto Christes institution and will haue it to be a Communion in very deede common and indifferent to a great number accordinge to the name But these men haue chaunged al things contrarie to Christes institution haue made a priuate Masse of the holy Communion and so it commeth to passe that we giue the Lordes supper vnto the people and they giue them a vaine pagent to gase on We affirme togither with the auncient fathers that the body of Christe is not eaten but of the good and faithfull and of those that are endued with the spirit of Christe Their doctrine is that Christes very bodie effectually as they speake really and substantially may not only be eaten of the wicked and vnfaithful men but also which is monstrous to be spoken of myse and dogges Wee vse to praye in Churches after that fashion as accordinge to Paules lesson the people maye knowe what wee pray and may answere Amen with a general consent These men like soundinge mettall yelle out in the churches vnknowen and straunge wordes w tout vnderstanding without knowledge and w tout deuotioÌ yea doe it of purpose bicause y e people should vnderstand nothing at all But not to tarry about rehearsing all poyntes wherein we and thei differ for they haue wel nye no end we tourne the scriptures into al tongues they scant suffer them to be had abroad in any tongue we allure y e people to reade and to heare Gods word thei driue the people froÌ it We desire to haue our cause knowen to al y e world they flee to come to any trial We leane vnto knowlege they vnto ignoraunce We trust vnto light thei vnto darkenes We reuerence as it becoÌmeth vs the writings of y e Apostles and Prophetes they burne them Finally wee in Gods cause desire to stand to Goddes onely iudgement they wil stand only to their owne Wherfore if they wil waye âll these thinges with a quiet mind and fullye bente to heare and to learne they wil not only alow this determinatioÌ of oures who haue forsaken errours and folowed Christe and his Apostles butte themselues also will forsake their owne selues and ioyne of their owne accorde to oure side But peraduenture they will saye it was treason to attempt these matters without a sacred generall Councell for in that consisteth the whole force of the Churche there CHRIST hath promised he will euer bee a present assistant Yet they themselues without tarrienge for anye generall Councell haue broken the commaundementes of Godde and the decrees of the Apostles and as wee sayde a little aboue they haue spoyled and disanulled almoste all not onelye ordinaunces but euen the doctrine of the primatiue Churche And where they saye it is not laufull to make a chaunge without a Councell wâaâ was he that made vs these lawes or from whence hadde they this Iniunction Kinge Agesilaus truelye didde butte fondelye whoe when hee hadde a determinate aunswere made him of the opinion and will of myghtye Iupiter woulde afterwarde bringe the whole matter before Apollo to knowe whether hee alowed thereof as his father Iupiter didde or no But yet shoulde wee dooe muche more fondelye when wee maye heare Godde him selfe plainelye speake to vs in the moste holye scriptures and maye understande by them his will and meaninge yf wee woulde afterwarde as thoughe this were of none effecte bringe oure whole cause to be tryed by a Councell which were nothinge els but to aske whether menne would allowé as God did whether meÌ would confirme Gods commaundement by their authority Why I besech you except a Councell wil coÌmaund shal not truth be truth or God be God Yf Christ ãâ¦ã to do so from y e beginning as that he would preache or teache nothing without the Bysshops consent but refer all his doctrine ouer to Annas and Caiphas where should nowe haue been the christian faith or who at any time should haue hearde the Gospell taught Peter verily whome the Pope hath oftener in his mouth and more reuerently vseth to speake of then he dothe of Iesu Christ did boldly stand against the holy Councel saieng It is better to obey God then men And after Paule had once intirely embraced the Gospel and had receiued it not froÌ men nor by man but by the only will of God he did not take aduise therin of fleshe and bloud nor brought y e case before his kinsemen brethren but went furth with into Arabia to preache Gods diuine mysteries by Goddes onelye authoritie Yet truely wee doe not despise Councelles assemblies conferences of Bysshops and learned men neyther haue we done y t wee haue done altogether âboue Byshops or without a Councell The matter hath ben treated in open Parliament with long consultation and before a notable Synode and Conuocation But touchyng this Councell whiche is now soÌmoned by y e Pope Pius wherin men so lightly are condemned whiche haue ben neither called hearde nor seene yt is easie to gesse what we maye looke for or hope of yt In times paste when Nazianzene sawe in his daies how men in suche assemblies were so blynde and wilfull that they were caried with affections and laboured more to get the victory then y e trueth he pronounced openly that he neuer had sene a good ende of any Councell what woulde he say now yf he were â liue at this daye and vnderââode the heauing and shoving of these men For at that time though the matter were laboured on all sydes yet the controuersies were wel heard and open errours were put cleane awaye by the generall voice of all partes But these men wil neyther haue the case to be freely disputed nor yet how many errours soeuer there be suffer they any to be chaunged For it is a coÌmon custome of theirs often and shameleslye to boast that their Churche cannot erre that in it there is no faulte
