A brief declaration of the Lords Supper, writtenA brief declaracion of the Lordes Supper, written

I know that he that is of a contrary opinion, will deny the former part of mine Argument. But I will prove it thus, by the plain words of Christ him self, both in Matthew and in Mark. Christs words are these: after the words said upon the cup. I say unto you (sayeth Christ) I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine tree, until I shall drink that new in my fathers kingdom. Here note how Christ calleth plainly his cup the fruit of the vine tree. But the fruit of the vine tree is very natural wine. Wherefore the natural substance of the wine doth remain still in the Sacrament of Christs blood. ⟨image 15⟩And here in speaking of the Lords cup, it cometh unto my remembrance the vanity of Innocentius his fantastical invention, which by Pauls words I did confute before, & here did promise somewhat more to speak, & that is this. If the transubstantiation be made by this word (Blessed) in Mark said upon the bread, as Innocentius that pope did say: Than surely seeing that word is not said of Christ, neither in any of the evangelists nor in S. Paul upon the cup: There is no transubstantiation of the wine at all. For where the cause doth fail, there can not follow the effect. But the sacramental bread & the sacramental wine do both remain in their natural substance alike, and if the one be not changed, as of the sacramental wine it appeareth evidently: than there is no such transubstantiation in neither of them both,

I know that he that is of a cōtrary opinion, wil denye the former parte of myne Argument. But I wil proue it thus, by the playne wordes of Christ him self, bothe in Mathewe and in Marke. Christes wordes are these: after the wordes said vpō the cup. I saie vnto you (saieth Christ) I wil not drīke hēcefurthe of this frute of the vyne tree, vntil I shall drinke that newe in my fathers kingdome. Here note how Christ calleth playnlie his cuppe the frute of the vyne tree. But the frute of the vyne tree is very natural wyne. Wherfore the natural substaunce of the wyne dothe remayne still in the Sacrament of Christes blood. ⟨image 15⟩And here in speaking of ye Lordes cup, it cometh vnto my remembraunce ye vanitie of Innocentius his sātastical inuencion, which by Paules wordes I did confute before, & here did promise somwhat more to speake, & that is this. If the transubstanciacion be made by this worde (Blessed) in Marke sayed vpon the bread, as Innocentius that pope did saye: Than surely seing that worde is not sayed of Christ, nother in any of the euangelistes nor in S. Paule vpon the cuppe: Ther is no transubstanciacion of the wyne at al. For wher the cause dothe faile, ther can not folowe the effecte. But the sacramental bread & the sacramental wyne doo bothe remayne in their natural substaunce alike, and if the one be not chaunged, as of the sacramental wyne it appeareth euidētly: than ther is no such transubstanciacion in nother of them bothe,
