THe next thing which I will insist upon, is their detestable Heresie of Transubstantiation, by which they say the Sacrament of bread is con∣verted into the reall Body and blo••d of Jesus Christ, in which he was conversans here on earth, and in which he was crucified; yea, that they eate his very Flesh, and gnash his very Bones in their teeth, like so many Caniballs, or Man-••aters; and that after the words of Consecration, there remaineth not so much as the substance of bread, but only the meere accidents and qualities of it; yea that it is substantially, and really the Body and blood, together with the Soule and Divinity of our Lord and Sa∣viour Jesus Christ; and that under each kinde, and under every part of each kinde, whole Christ is comprised, and that it is not so whilst it is taken, but before, and afterward in the consecrated

peices reserved, and remaining after the Communion; and that all Communicants, both bad and good, doe eate the very naturall Body of Christ.
Obj. Doth not our Saviour say in plain termes, that if we eate not the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, we have no life in us; and that whosoever eateth his flesh, and drinketh his blood, hath eternall life, and he will raise them up at the last day: as also that his flesh is meat indeed, and his blood is drink indeed, and that he that eateth his flesh, and drinketh his blood, dwelleth in Christ, and Christ in him, Joh. 6. 53, 54, 55, 56.
Ans. The wicked and unbeleevers, neither have eternall life,* 1.1 neither doe they dwell in Christ, or Christ in them, neither doe they live by Christ, which life is by faith in the Son of God, Gal. 2. 20. therefore they can neither eate, nor drink, the body and blood of Christ; this proposition therefore is directly opposite to the Scriptures; but yet to give such of them satisfaction, that are yet kept in ignorance, and in the chaines of darknesse (by that man of sinne) I will therefore branch the Argument into these three particulers 〈◊〉〈◊〉 as 1. What a Sacrament is. 2. How Christ is said to be eaten in the Sacrament, and 3. Who they are that eate Christ in the Sacrament?
