Where as they require the in tent of the priest, to consecrate 1Christs body: forasmuch as we know not any mans intent, (god only knoweth the hart) yea the words we know not, they are so spoken in hucker mucker: I pray you, into what a doubtfulness are we brought, whether it be y• ⟨p. 106⟩sacrament or no? In what peril are we of worshipping a piece of bred for our Christ? Is not this (trow you) sweet and comfortable gear, y• a man shall always stand in doubt, whether he have received the sacrament or no? Where as they will have it bred to the eye, and not to the mouth, judge them whether a dog may not eat Christs body: judge whether the devil, if he would come in the likeness of a priest, might not swallow up Christ & so brig him into hell. From whence, because there is no redemption there, Christs body should never come, but be damned. Judge whether the taste of thy mouth, is not as much to be credited, as the sight of the eye: specially in y• the scripture so often calleth it bred after the consecration, as before ⟨p. 107⟩I have showed. Judge whether Christs body be not very pretty, that it can lye in so little a room. Judge whether Christ hath moo bodies then one, when perchance the priest hath. 20. or 100. before him. Judge whether the priest break not Christs body in breaking of it. Judge whether it be seemly, to chaw Christs body, with the teeth. Judge whether Christ did eat his own body, yea or no: for Christ did eat the sacrament with his disciples. Judge whether it be seemly, that Christ should be kept so in prison, as they kept him. Judge whether it be seemly, that Christs body should be so din dle dandled, & used, as they use it. Judge whether y• people knocking and knelling at the elevation of that they see (for they see but the forms of bred & wine, and not ⟨p. 108⟩Christs body, if it be as the Papists feign) judge, I say, whether the people, by the papists own doctrine, be not made idolaters.
Where as they require the in tente of the prieste, to consecrate 1Chrystes bodye: for asmuche as we knowe not any mans intent, (god only knoweth the hart) yea the wordes we know not, thei ar so spokē in hucker mucker: I pray you, into what a doubtfulnesse are we brought, whether it be y• ⟨p. 106⟩sacrament or no? In what perill are we of worshipping a pece of bred for our Chryst? Is not this (trowe you) swete and comfortable geer, y• a man shall alwayes stand in doubt, whether he haue receaued the sacramente or no? Where as they wil haue it bred to the eye, and not to the mouth, iudge thē whether a dogge may not eate Chrystes bodye: iudge whether the deuyll, if he would come in the liknesse of a pryeste, might not swalow vp Chryste & so brig him into hel. Frō whēce, beecause there is no redempcion there, Christes body shoulde neuer come, but be damned. Iudge whether the taist of thy mouth, is not as much to be credited, as the sight of the eye: specially in y• the scripture so often calleth it bred after ye consecracyon, as before ⟨p. 107⟩I haue shewed. Iudge whether Chrystes body be not verye prety, that it can lye in so litle a rowme. Iudge whether Chryste hath moo bodies then one, when perchāunce the priest hath. 20. or 100. before hym. Iudge whether the prieste breake not Chrystes bodye in breakynge of it. Iudge whether it bee semelye, to chawe Chrystes body, wyth the teeth. Iudge whether Christ did eate hys owne bodye, yea or no: for Chryst did eate the sacrament wt hys disciples. Iudge whether it be semely, that Chryst should be kept so in prison, as thei kep him. Iudge whether it be semeli, that Chrystes body should be so dyn dle danled, & vsed, as thei vse it. Iudge whether y• people knockig and knelynge at the eleuacion of that they see (for they see but the formes of bred & wyne, and not ⟨p. 108⟩Chrystes bodye, if it bee as the Papystes feyne) iudge, I saye, whether the people, by the papystes owne doctryne, bee not made ydolatours.
