OVr Church commandeth that the best Bread and Wine be provided for this best of Banquets, the Supper of our Lord; yet doth it beleeve, that Christ the Ordainer thereof will not deprive the soules of his guests of their desired spirituall Bles∣sings, for the negligence of his steward, in being defective to [ 30] provide the Materiall Elements, if so be that there be therein (according to Christ his Institution) the substance of Bread and Wine. As for Pronunciation, you know, Protestants make their Celebration in a tongue knowen unto all the people communi∣cating, and in a loud voice, according to the universall Practice of the Church of Christ in primitive times, as* 1.1 hath beene confessed. So that the Peoples eares may be their owne wit∣nesses, whether the words of Consecration, either by Prayer, or together with the forme of Repetition of the words of Institu∣tion, be truly delivered: which freeth them from your Ro∣mish [ 40] perplexity of not knowing whether the Priest hath truly Consecrated, by his muttering of the words in an unaudible voice.
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.
