Saint Paul to the Corinthians after the ascension of Christ at lest 18. years wrote his Epistle and said he would deliver them nothing but that he had received of the lord and wrote concerning the use of the supper as Matth. Mark. and Luk writeth this is therefore and ungodly disputation that the Papists contend abut the change and alteration of the bread, and also à false and pernicious doctrine, that teacheth the corporal presence of Christ, booth God and man in the ⟨image 56⟩bread for although Christ said of the bread this mi body. It is well known that he purposed to institute à sacrament. Therefore he spake of à sacrament sacramentally. To speak sacramentally is to give the Name of the thing to the sign, so, yet not withstanding that the nature and substance of the sign remaineth and is not turned into the thing that it signifieth, farther the verity of the scripture and the verity of à Christian faith will not suffer to judge and believe Christs body invisible or visible to be upon the Earth Act. 1. Luce ult. Mar. ult. Act. 3. If we like wise consider the other places of the scripture Joan. 6. 16. 17. we shall find that Christ would not nor meant not, to institute any corporal presence of his body: But à memory of the body slain resuscitated, ascended into heavens and from thence to con unto judgment, true it is that the body is eaten and the ⟨image 57⟩blood drunken but not corporally in faith and spirit it is eaten, and by that sacrament the promise of god sealed and confirmed in us. The corporal body remaining in heaven, in the 24 chapter of Matthew, Christ giving his church warning of this heresy to cum by the preaching of false Prophets said, they will say, lo here is Christ, lo there is Christ, believe them not, for as the lightning cometh from the est into the west so shall the cumming of the son of man be, meaning by these words that his body is not à fantastical body, nor invisible as these teach that say his corporal body is corporally given in the bread with the bred and under the bred invisible, Against this error I will set the word of God and declare the truth thereby, that they have but an imagination or idea of Christs body, and not the natural, and corporal body. and the first reason is ⟨image 57⟩this. Christ bid his disciples they should not believe him that should say. Lo here is Christ or there is Christ.
Saynct Paule to the Corinthious affter the ascenfion of Christ at lest 18. yeres wrote his Epistole and sayd he would delyuer them nothing but that he had receauid of the lord and wrote conserning the use of the supper as Matth. Mark. and Luk writithe this is therfore and ungodly disputacion that the Papistes contend abut the chā ge and alteracion of the bread, and also à false ād pernicious doctrine, that teachyth the corporall presence of Christ, booth God and man in the ⟨image 56⟩bread for althowgh Christ said of the bread this mi body. It is well knowyn that he purposid to institute à sacrament. Therfore he spak of à sacramēt sacramentally. To spek sacramentally is to gyne the Name of the thing to the signe, so, yet not withstōding that the nature and substaince of the signe remaynit and is not turnid into the thing that it signifiet, farther the uerite of the scripture and the uerite of à Christiane faith will not suffre to iudge and belyue Christes body inuisible or uisible to be upon the Erth Act. 1. Luce ult. Mar. ult. Act. 3. If we lik wyce consyder the other places of the scripture Ioan. 6. 16. 17. we shall fynd that Christ would not nor ment not, to institute ony corporall presence of his body: But à memory of the body slayne resuscitatyd, ascendid into heuens and from thense to cū unto iudgment, trew it is that the body is eatin and the ⟨image 57⟩blud dronkyn but not corporally in faith and sprit it is eatyn, and by that sacrament the promis of god sealyd and cōfirmid in us. The corporall body remayning in heuyn, in the 24 chapiter of Matthew, Christ yeuing his church warning of this heresy to cum by the preaching of false Prophetes sayd, they will say, lo here is Christe, lo there is Christ, belyue them not, for as the lightynyng cōmith from the est into the west so shall the cumming of the sone of man be, meanyg by these wordes that his body is not à phantasticall bodi, nor inuifible as these teach that say his corporall body is corporally yeuen in the bread with the bred and under the bred inuisible, Agaynst this errour I will set the word of God and declare the truith therbi, that they haue but an ymagynaciō or ydeam of Christes body, and not the natural, ād corporall body. and the fyrst reason is ⟨image 57⟩this. Christe byd his disceples they shuld not belyue hym that shuld say. Lo here is Christ or there is Christ.
