Therefore they should not force nor constrain y• sound of the words used in the sacrament to make of y• sacrament on idol by false interpretation, where as the true sense of the word maketh but a necessary ceremony, and help to our infirm faith. In the Canon law, Decretalib .li. de verbor. significat. Tit. xl. cap. vi. Non sermom res, sed reiest sermo subiectus, that is to say: the matter should not be constrained to y• word, but the word to serve the matter. Et cap. viii. dumb proprietas verborū attenditur, sensus veritatis amittitur, that is to say: when the nature of y• word is forced, the meaning of the verity is lost. Farther what should move them to deny us one trope in these ⟨image 144⟩words, when they them selves use a great many of tropes & figures: where as we use but one, and the same one to be in the open word of God: and all theirs to be without, and contrary to y• word of God. Note the words of Christ, Hoc est corpus meum. That is to say: This is my body. what they should make of this word (This,) they cannot tell: and hither unto they have disputed of it: and yet not agreed. Read I pray the Gabriel Biel. Ser. xliiii. et Glossam super Canonē. Timorem docet. Is, they interpret, Is made. The bread they say is the accidents of bread. But in the Cup they be constrained to use with us a sign. This Cup is the new Testament ⟨p. cxxxv⟩in my blood: for they say y• wine in the Cup and not the Cup. They know them selves how fondly they interpret these words, rather maliciously, obstinately, and falsely, then truly: we therefore thus take them (This is my body) that is to say: the Sacrament of my body broken and given for you: Either this is y• new testament, that is to say: the sign of the new testament, or the remission of sin obtained in the body of Christ broken and torn for us. S. August. lib. xx. contra Faustū. cap. xxi. hath these words. Huius sacrifi•• caro et sarguis ante aduentū Christi, per victimas similitudinum promittebatur. In passione Christi per ipsam veritatem reddebatur. Post ascē sum Christi per sacramentum memory ⟨image 145⟩celebratur. That is to say: the flesh and blood of this sacrifice before the coming of Christ, was promised by the sacrifices of similitude. In the passion of Christ they were given in deed: after the ascension of Christ, they be celebrated by a sacrament of memory. And the gloss dist. ii.
Therfore thei should not force nor cōstraine y• soūd of the wordes vsed in the sacramente to make of y• sacrament on ydole by false interpretaciō, wher as the true sēce of ye word maketh but a necessary ceremonie, and helpe to our infirme faith. In the Canon lawe, Decretalib .li. de verbor. significat. Tit. xl. cap. vi. Nō sermom res, sed reiest sermo subiectus, that is to saye: the matter shuld not be cōstraiued to y• word, but ye word to serue the matter. Et cap. viii. dum proprietas verborū attenditur, sensus veritatis amittitur, yt is to saie: when the nature of y• word is forced, the meanīg of ye veritie is lost. Farther what shuld moue thē to deny vs one trope in these ⟨image 144⟩wordes, when they them selues vse a greate many of tropes & fygures: where as we vse but one, and the same one to be in the open word of God: and all theyrs to be without, and contrary to y• word of God. Note the wordes of Christ, Hoc est corpus meum. That is to say: This is my body. what they shoulde make of thys woorde (Thys,) thei cannot tel: and hither vnto they haue dysputed of it: and yet not agreed. Reade I praye the Gabriel Biel. Ser. xliiii. et Glossam super Canonē. Timorem docet. Is, they interpretate, Is made. The bread they say is the accidentes of bread. But in the Cup they be constrayned to vse wt vs a signe. Thys Cup is the new Testament ⟨p. cxxxv⟩in my blud: for they saye y• wyne in the Cup and not the Cuppe. They know them selues howe fōdly they interpretate these wordes, rather maliciously, obstinately, and falsly, then truely: we therefore thus take them (Thys is my body) that is to say: the Sacrament of my body broken and geuen for you: Either thys is y• newe testamente, that is to saye: the sygne of the new testament, or the remission of syn obtayned in the bodye of Christe broken and torne for vs. S. August. lib. xx. contra Faustū. cap. xxi. hath these wordes. Huius sacrifi•• caro et sarguis ante aduentū Christi, per victimas similitudinum promittebatur. In passione Christi per ipsam veritatem reddebatur. Post ascē sum Christi per sacramētum memorie ⟨image 145⟩celebratur. That is to saye: the flesh and blud of thys sacrifice before the cōmynge of Christ, was promised bi the sacrifices of similitude. In the passion of Christ thei wer geuen in dede: after the ascencion of Christe, thei be celebrated bi a sacramēt of memorie. And the glose dist. ii.
