The Lords Supper or, A vindication of the sacrament of the blessed body and blood of Christ according to its primitive institution. In eight books; discovering the superstitious, sacrilegious, and idolatrous abomination of the Romish Master. Together with the consequent obstinacies, overtures of perjuries, and the heresies discernable in the defenders thereof. By Thomas Morton B.D. Bp. of Duresme.

The second Propheticall Text (as is pretended) is Psal. 72. 16. concerning a [Handfull of Corne in the Top of the Mountaines:] objected to prove a Sacrifice in the Romish Masse; but yet as very [ 20] Romishly, as were the rest. SECT. IV.

OF this Corne youra 1.1 Disputers Coccius, Duraeus, Sancte∣sius, Genebrard, out of Galatinus, and Hee out of the Chal∣dee Translation, and other his supposed Iewish Rabbins, have observed a Cake on the top of the Mountaines. But what of this? This Cake, forsooth, was by their Doctrine a Propheticall pre∣diction of the Romish Wafer-Cake, which is heaved up over the [ 30] head of the Priest for a Sacrifice. And this is called, by Master Brerely,b 1.2 A most strong Argument, in behalfe of the said Doctrine. {fleur-de-lys} Yea, and your Jesuite1 1.3 Suarez seemeth to like this Cake, for hee also will needs have a licke at it. {fleur-de-lys} But wee must tell you, that your Galatinus is too credulous, and that his Rabbinicall Abstracts are no better than the Gibeonites old torne Shooes, and mouldy Bread, seeming to have come from farre, even from old Rabbins, when as they were invented and brought from their latter Rabbins and Glozers, as it were from the next bordering Countries: because your Author Galatinus [ 40] (who produceth the foresaid Rabbinish prediction of that Cake) is branded, for such like his Conceipts, with the marke of a Vaine man, by your judiciousc 1.4 Senensis. And the Chaldee

Paraphrase, which talketh of your Sacrificed Cake, is rejected, as being a Corrupt Puddle of Iewish Fables; and fabulous in this very Point, by your great Romane Dictatord 1.5 Bel∣larmine.

Which wee speake not, as being offended to heare any Rab∣bi calling that, which is in the hand of your Priest, and above his head, A Cake, which in your Romish Phrase is called, a Wa∣fer-Cake: for if it be indeed and truly a Cake, then is not it [ 10] Accidents onely, but hath still in it the Substance of Bread. And so farewell your Helena of Trent, called Transubstan∣tiation. Now because the Sacrifice can be no better than the matter thereof will permit it, it followeth that the Sacrifice is not Properly the Body of Christ, but the Element of Bread. And thus your Authors (after their laborious kneading and moulding, their greedy longing, and their sweetly chewing hereof) are at length in a maner choaked with their owne Cake.
