It is isle done of any man to speak as the scripture speaketh / and not to take the ⟨p. CXC⟩meaning of the Scripture. God of his mercy give men grace to know the truth. Before Christ in his supper called the bred his body: see how he fore saw this after isle / and fantastical dreams / that men would take his words / contrary onto his mind. In the 6. of Joan. he telleth his disciples / that to eat his body / was to believe in him. That availed not / but straight way said / the words that I speak be spirit and lief: and called them from the letter. Yet again the third time in the same place saith / what if ye see the son of man ascend where as he was first. By these reasons he toke away all bodily eating / and rigour of the letter. like wise after the supper / lest they should dream yet of abodely presence / Because Sacramentally he called the bred his body he repeated again the same words / Joan. 16. It is expedient that I depart. Again / I go to my father. I came from my father into the world. I for sake the world again / and go to my father. Why should not these places hold there authority / and teach us to understand these words / this is my body. seeing that both before / and after the supper / christ told them be plain words / he would not be in the world. and so doth institution of it declare / That this Sacrament was / and should be a memory of his blessed passion / and pains suffered ⟨p. CXCI⟩in the flesh: and not a distribution of the flesh it self / Luce. 22.1. Corinth. 11. None of them that put this corporal presence in the bred yet hither unto / never could interpret the words of the supper aright. I would be glad to hire it once if they will not admit the alteration of the bred with the Papists / they will / and can do no nether wise / but interpret the words thus. This is my body. That is to say / very bred / and my body / and refer the verb (is) to too diverse substances. to the body of Christ / and to the bred / which is plain against the nature of a verb substantive / to be atron• too diverse substantijs. Seeing Saint Paul doth interpret / and expound this word (is) in the Sacrament of circumcision (and all Sacraments be of one nature) by this word signifieth / or confirmeth / Roma. 4. what should men mean thus to trouble and vex the church of Christ with new doctrine.
