A defense of the sincere and true translations of the holie Scriptures into the English tong against the manifolde cauils, friuolous quarels, and impudent slaunders of Gregorie Martin, one of the readers of popish diuinitie in the trayterous Seminarie of Rhemes. By William Fvlke D. in Diuinitie, and M. of Pembroke haule in Cambridge. Wherevnto is added a briefe confutation of all such quarrels & cauils, as haue bene of late vttered by diuerse papistes in their English pamphlets, against the writings of the saide William Fvlke.

FVLK. 6. That the elements are blessed, and conse∣crated by prayer, and thankes-giuing, as Iustine, Irenae∣us, and other auncient fathers write, it is the thing that we contende for. But you (except you be a Schisma∣tike from all other Papistes) doe teache, that they are consecrated by these wordes, pronounced by a Priest, this is my bodie: which are wordes neyther of prayer, nor of thankes giuing. Neuerthelesse, to pricke vs with a pinne, you haue wounded your selfe with a sworde, and saye the sacrament is blessed, and conse∣crated with prayer, and thankes▪ giuing. Except you haue some Sophisticall meaning, that it is consecrated with them, but not by them. The signification of the actiue, which you gather out of the passiue, vsed by Iustinus, sheweth what a learned Clerke you are, Iu∣stinus writeth to the Gentiles, or Heathen men, of whome he coulde not haue bene vnderstoode, if he had not vsed the passiue, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, in that signifi∣cation, that all other men did vse it in, in that tyme. What we vnderstande of the mysterie of the Lordes

supper, and the sacrifice of prayer and thankes gy∣uing, whiche is the onely sacrifice of Christians, as Iustinus writeth, the Churche of God dothe acknow∣ledge, thoughe the synagogue of Antichristian here∣tikes wil not confesse it.
