for

it

bee
confessed

the

prouided

deseruedly
reprehended

would
bee

were
vttered
by

if
the

not

for
when

if

it
will
follow
that

take

eate

so
we
must
denie
the

therefore
it
is
most
certaine
that

neither

any

In

a
point
of

the

of

was
contained
vnder

it
was
not

that
after

the

was
conuerted
into
the
body
of
Christ
:
The

haue
beene

interpretation

almost
the

:

(

remaine

proper
substance

shape
,

It
is
not
to
bee
maruailed
,
if
one
or
more
of
the
ancient
Fathers
(
before
the
question
of
Transubstantiation
was
throughly
debated
in
the
Church
)
haue
both
thought
lesse
considerately
and
truelie
concerning
Transubstantiation
,
and
this
is
an
answer
briefe
,
and
simple
,
and
no
way
inconuenient
.
Saint
Austin
certaine
of
the
Ancient
Diuines
are
found
of
this
minde
,
that
the
bread
in
the
Sacrament
,
is
not
Transubstantiated
or
changed
in
nature
,
but
remaineth
still
,
and
is
cloathed
with
an
other
substance
more
noble
then
it selfe
:
before
the
Councell
of

Transubstantiation
was
not
beleeued
as
a
point
of
faith

which
teach
the
doctrine
of
Transubstantiation

not
very

to
be
corrected

as

materiall

not

he

Church

this
opinion
say
they
,
was
not
to
be
reiected
Of
the
manner
how
it
might
bee
either
by
Transubstantiation
or
otherwise
,
perhaps
it
had
beene
better
to
leaue
to
euery

This
is
a
great
mysterie

the
learned
Reader
cannot
inferre
from
thence
,
that
Marriage
is
a
Sacrament
,
for
he
said
not
it
is
a
Sacrament
,
but
a
mysterie
:
The
Diuines
speake
so
vncertainely
of
the
matter

that
he
should
bee
accounted
a
foole
who
in
so
great
difference
of
opinions
would
take
vpon
him
to
establish
a
certaine
and
knowne
doctrine
.
you
shall
find
none
before
Peter
Lombards
time
,
who
did
determine
the
certaine
number
.
from
these
Aquinas
appeares
the
number
of
seuen
Sacraments
.
Patriarke
of
Venice
The
Creation
of
the
world
was
ended
the
seuenth
day
,
and
Christ
satisfied
the
people
with
fiue
loaues
and
two
fishes
which
make
seuen
—
but
that
which
Andrew
said
,
there
is
a
boy
here
which
hath
fiue
loaues
and
two
fishes
must
be
vnderstood
of
the
ranke
of
S.
Peters
Successors
,
&
that
which
is
added
,
make
the
people
sit
downe
;
signifieth
,
that
saluation
must
be
offered
them
by
teaching
them
the
seuen
Sacraments
.
When
the
Sacraments
are
the
weapons
of
the
Church
Militant
,
the
number
must
be
such
likewise
:
for
as
it
is
said
in
the
Canticles
,
Shee
is
terrible
as
an
armie
with
banners
;
so
the
number
is
terrible
,
and
strengthened
by
the
Sacrament
of
Confirmation
:
It
is
an
Army
,
because
conioyned
and
vnited
with
the
Sacrament
of
the
Eucharist
:
it
is
likewise
ordered
by
the
Sacrament
of
Orders
:
and
because
some
die
,
and
some
fall
away
,
there
is
a
necessity
of
supply
through
Matrimonie
:
after
they
are
beaten
downe
,
there
is
a
recouerie
by
Pennance
,
&
because
no
man
comes
to
an
Armie
without
an
Ensigne
,
there
is
also
the
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
:
and
lastly
,
those
that
depart
from
their
Armie
,
are
serued
with
extreme
Vnction

all

then
a
thousand

euident

testimonies

yet
this
custome
that
it

bee
receiued
by
Lay
men
vnder
the
kinde
of

is
to
bee
held
for
a

Bellarmine

Christ
did
institute
vnder
both
kinds
,
but
he
did
not
command
it
to
be
giuen
to
all
vnder
both
kinds
:
The
ancient
Church
did
administer
vnder
both
kinds
when
the
number
of
Christians
were
but
few
,
besides
,
all
did
not
receiue
in
both

—
but
the
multitude
increasing

inconuenience

more

Verily
in

Primitiue

was
necessarie

faith

therefore
the
prayers
were
made
then
in

we
must
say

after

instructed

this

answer

it
was
madnesse
in

is
not
so
in
ours

for
then
they
were
rude

now
all
are
so
well
instructed

vnderstand

It
may
be
obiected
that
in
the
time
of
the
Apostles

all
the
people
in
diuine
Seruice
did
answer
one
Amen
,
and
this
custome
continued
long

in
the
East
and
West
Churches

as
appeares
by

Cyprian
,
Hierome
,
&c.
When
the
Christians
were

few

they
did
all
sing
together
at
the
time
of
diuine
Seruice

but
when
the
number
of
people
did
increase
,
the
office
of
publique
seruice
was
diuided
,
and
it
was
left
onely
to
the
Church
to
celebrate
the
Common
Prayers

the
better
conformity
of
the
Heathen
and
ignorant
people
in
the
doctrine
of
Christianity

It
is
reported
Pope
Innocent

third

thinke
themselues
Diuines

the
authoritie

be
disesteemed

point

So
farre
forth
euerie
Image
was
forbidden
,
as
it
was
dedicated
to
adoration
,

neither
the

any

any

to

This

In

how

came
to
the

in

saying
who
doth
not

the

much
as

It
were
better
the
Communion
were
administred
in
both
kinds
,
in
respect
of
the

it
were
more
agreeable
to

it
best
agrees
with
the

Their
opinion

vs

probable
,
who
say

the

Cassander

Although
the
Communion
in
both
kinds
be
not
simply
necessarie
nor
contrary
to
Christs
precept
,
yet
it
is
much
to
bee
preferred
before
the
Communion
in
one
kinde
.
Alexander

Though
the
order
of
receiuing
in

kinde

sufficient

yet
the
other
of

of
greater
merit

of
greater

Optaret

The
Councel
could
wish
the
people
would
communicate
together
with
the
Priest
,
because
it
would
be
more
fruitful
&
more
profitable
:
I
denie
not
but
that
it
is
more
commendable
and
more
godly
on
the
Churches
part
,
if
many
well
disposed
and
examined
would
be
partakers
of
the
blessed
Sacrament
with
the
Priest
:
Because
the
celebration
of
the
Masse
is
ordained
not
onely
to
offer
Sacrifice
to
God
,
but
also
the
spirituall
foode
to
the
people
,
therfore
it
cannot
be
denied
,
that
it
is
a
more
perfect
and
lawfull
Masse
,
where
the
Communicants
are
present
,
then
wherein
the
Priuate
Masse
,
the
Priest
alone
receiueth
.
Aeneas
Syluius
Pope
Pius
:
Perhaps
it
were
not
the
worst
that
many
Priests
were
married
,
for
by
that
meanes
,
many
might
be
saued
in
married
Priest-hood
,
which
now
in
barren
Priest-hood
are
damned
:
It
were
good
and
behoofefull
for
the
soules
of
many
,
if
Priests
might
marrie
,
because
we
finde
by
experience
,
the
Law
of
single
life
hath
brought
forth
contrarie
effects
:
If
euer
certes
in
these
our
daies
the
change
of
the
Law
may
be
thought
necessarie
,
that
those
which
cannot
attaine
to
the
perfect
degree
of
chastitie
,
may
bee
permitted
to
liue
in

It
is
manifest
that
he
receiueth
more
benefit
which
prayeth
and
vnderstandeth
what
he
saith
,
for
the
minde
of
him
that
vnderstandeth
not
,
is
without
fruit
and
refection
If
the
people
vnderstand
the
prayer
of
the
Priest
,
they
are
better
brought
to
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
they
answer
Amen
with
greater
deuotion
:
It
is
better
by
Pauls
doctrine
for
the
edifying
of
the
Church
,
that
publique
prayers
were
made
in
a
vulgar
tongue
,
to
be
vnderstood
indifferently
by
Priests
and
people
,
then
in

because
it
stirreth
vp
the
mind

deuotion

Secondly
,
it
inlightneth

minde
:
Thirdly
,
it
causeth
a
better
remembrance
of
things
spoken
in
the
time
of
prayer
:
Fourthly
,
it
keepeth
the
thoughts
from
wandring
:
Fifthly
,
It
causeth
a
more
full
performance
of
our
dutie
both
in
body
and
soule
:
Sixthly
,
there
is
a
better
redundance
from
the
soule
to
the
body
,
by
a
vehement
affection
and
deuotion
:
Seuenthly
,
it
is
better
for
the
instruction
of
our
brethren
:
When
a
man
prayeth
in
a
strange
tongue
which
himselfe
vnderstandeth
not
,
it
is
not
so
fruitfull
for
instruction
to
him
as
if
hee
knew
particularly
what
he
prayed
.
Tulius

It
is
more
safe
to
remoue
Images
out
of

then
to
pray
to
them
,
that
the
minde
may
be
altogether
free
from
superstition
,
for
no
man
can
be
free
from
shew
of
superstition
,
that
is
prostrate
before
an
Image
,
and
doth
looke
on
it
Intentionally
,
and
doth
speake
vnto
it
,
and
kisse
it
;
nay
,
although
hee
doe
but
pray
before
an
Image
Cassander
,
It
were
better
in
these
times
to
inuite
men
to
worship
the
true
Image
of
God
in
releeuing
the
poore
,
then
to
worship
the
work
of
mens
hands
:
Their
opinion
is
more
sound
,
which
say
,
that
an
Image
neither
as
it
is
considered
in
it selfe
as
wood
and
stone
,
neither
as
it
is
considered
in
the
nature
of
a
signe
or
representation
is
to
be
adored

The
Protestants
doe
not
deny
but
that
faith
and
repentance
are
requisite
,
that
is
a
liuely
faith
and
an
earnest
repentance
,
and
that
without
them
no
man
can
be
iustified

For
feare

Wee
see
the

at

many
of
them
confesse
there
may
be
saluation
in
our
Church
,
wee
absolutely
deny
there
may
be
saluation
in
theirs
,
therefore
it
is
safer
to
come
to
ours
,
then
to
stay
in
theirs
,
to
bee
where
almost
all
grant
saluation
,
then
where
the
greatest
part
of
the
world
denie
it
.

out

you

may

the

them

an

alloy
,
that
a
man
may
resolue
this
way
or
that
way
,
without
perill
of
hu
saluation

Suruey
heauen
it selfe

all
the
heauenly
host
,
looke

all
the
parts

you

It
is
the
safer
way
to
persist
in
that
Church
where
both
sides
agree

then
where
one
part
