  Or if our English Admirers of Rome will beleeue nothing concerning the Discipline of that Church , but so farre forth as they can be assured thereof within the bounds of England ; they may haue recourse to the six Articles established in English Parliament ▪ the first whereof enacteth thus ▪ Whosoeuer shall say , that in the Sacrament of the Altar vnder the forme of bread and wine ( after the consecration thereof ) there is not present , really , the naturall Body and Bloud of our Sauiour Iesus Christ ; conceiued of the Virgine Mary ; or that after the said consecration there remaineth any substance of bread or wine , or any other substance but the substance of Christ , both God and man , &c. then he shall be adiudged an heretike , and suffer death by burning , and shall forfeit to the King , all his lands , tenements , &c. as in case of hye reason .

  An answer to a late Dialogue between a new Catholick convert and a Protestant to prove the mystery of the Trinity to be as absurd a doctrine as transubstantiation : by way of short notes on the said dialogue.

summary:
  On the other side , Transubstantiation lay unquestion'd and quiet a long time ; and when it came to debate , there was no such opposition as that of Arius , to call in question the Authority of its Tradition ; the Church receiv'd it unanimously , and in that sense continu'd , till rash Reason attempted to fathom the unlimited Miracles and Mysteries of God. But , Sir , to be short , What relation has this to the present Parallel of the Trinity and Transubstantiation ?

  John Barclay his defence of the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist to the sectaries of the times book II, chap. II / Englished by a person of quality.

summary:
  They all , I say , ( except a few Hussites in Bohemia , who as they were none of Ours , so neither are they Yours , there not being any amongst you altogether of this Opinion concerning the Eucharist ) agreed with Us ( and still do ) that under the Species or Appearance of Bread and Wine the Body and Blood of CHRIST are really Conceal'd ; that there is no Bread , no Wine remaining ; that the Eucharist is therefore to be Ador'd , because there is in it no other Substance but CHRIST himself . And if the Church in the Apostles Time had not believ'd with Us , that there is no Substance of Bread remaining in the Eucharist , St. Justin Martyr would not have written , that this Sacrament , after the words of Consecration are pronounc'd , Is the Flesh and Blood of that Incarnate Jesus ; but that after the Consecration , that Flesh and that Blood are added to the Eucharistical Bread and Wine : Nor yet would St. Cyril of Hierusalem have us'd these words , This which We see , is not Bread , though the taste thinks it to be Bread ; but 't is the Body of CHRIST ;

  A discourse concerning transubstantiation and idolatry being an answer to the Bishop of Oxford's plea relating to those two points.

summary:
  When they accuse them for those Corruptions of Divine Worship , they did not consider the softning Excuses of more refined Men , so much as the Acts that were done , which to be sure do always carry the stupid vulgar to the grossest degrees of Idolatry ; and therefore every step towards it is so severely forbid by God , since upon one step made in the publick Worship , the People are sure to make a great many more in their Notions of things , therefore if we should accuse the Church of Rome for all the Excesses of the past Ages , or of the more ignorant Notions in the present Age , such as Spain and Portugal , even this might be in some degree well grounded , because the publick and authoris'd Offices and Practices of that Church has given the rise to all those Disorders ; and even in this we should but copy after the Fathers , who always represent the Pagan Idolatry ; not as Cicero or Plutarch had done it , but according to the grossest Notions and Practices of the vulgar . so that tho the worshipping the Host of Heaven , or the worshipping an Image as a Resemblance of the Divinity , may be acknowledged to be the highest degrees of Idolatry , yet many other Corruptions in the Worship of God are justly reducible to it , and may be termed not only idolatrous , but Idolatry it self .

  Cardinal h Cajetan confesseth that the Gospel doth no where express that the Bread is changed into the Body of Christ ; that we have this from the authority of the Church : nay , he goes farther , , that there is nothing in the Gospel which enforceth any man to understand these words of Christ , this is my body , in a proper and not a metaphorical sense ; but the Church having understood them in a proper sense they are to be so explained : Which words in the Roman Edition of Cajetan are expunged by order of Pope i Pius V. Cardinal k Contarenus , and l Melchior Canus one of the best and most judicious Writers that Church ever had , reckon this Doctrine among those which are not so expresly found in Scripture . And of this the more discerning persons of that Church are of late grown so sensible that they would now be glad to be rid of this odious and ridiculous Doctrine .

  A dissertation with Dr. Heylyn: touching the pretended sacrifice in the Eucharist, by George Hakewill, Doctor in Divinity, and Archdeacon of Surrey. Published by Authority.

summary:
  a He must of necessity answer ( as I conceive ) that either it is the elements of bread and wine , or the sacred Body and Bloud of Christ ; but how the bread and wine may be said to be consumed in regard of their substance , without admitting transubstantiation I cannot imagine , unlesse perchance he will say that it is by eating the one , and drinking the other ; but these being acts common to the people , with the Priest , if the essence and perfection of the Sacrifice should consist in this , he will be forced to admit of so many Sacrificers , as there are Communicants , which I presume he will not acknowledge . Whereunto I answer , that those of the Jews besides , that they were Sacrifices indeed properly so called , in themselves they had the same signification , and were chiefly to that end ordained by the Author of them , the main difference being , that they looked unto Christ to come , but we unto the same Christ already come , by meanes whereof our happinesse is that , that now by Gods blessing we need no Sacrifices properly so called , but rest onely and wholly upon that all-sufficient Sacrifice which he once for all offred up for us .

  They proceed in the following words , Nostre raison de mesme , &c. Our Reason in like manner shews us that one single Body is not at the same time in divers places , nor two Bodies in one and the same place ; but this ought to be understood of the natural condition of Bodies , because it would be a desect of Reason for a Man to imagine that our Mind being Finite , is able to comprehend how far the Infinite Power of God reaches . Now on the other hand we can tell them very seriously , that we never saw Roundness or Whiteness in our lives , nor can any of our Senses shew us any such rarities : We cannot deny but that we have seen Round and White Substances or Bodies , or pieces of Matter , call them what you will ; but as for Roundness and Whiteness , we believe them to be objects so dazling , that they would certainly blind us .

  Transusbstantiation examin'd and confuted in two sermons on the Lord's Supper / preach'd in the reign of Queen Elizabeth by H. Smith, sometime preacher at St. Clement Danes.

summary:
  Now , if you ask me why Christ calleth the sign by the name of the thing it self , I ask thee again ; Maist thou say when thou seest the picture of the Queen , this is the Queen , and when thou seest the picture of a Lyon , this is a Lyon ? and may not Christ say when he seeth a thing like his body , This is my Body ? I shewed you before , that every Sacrament is called by the name of the thing which it doth signifie , and therefore why should we stumble at this more then the rest ? The reason why the signs have the name of the things , is to strike a deeper reverence in us , to receive this Sacrament of Christ reverently , sincerely , and holily , as if that Christ were there present in body and blood himself , And surely , as he which defaceth the Queens Seal is convicted of Contempt and Treason to her own Person ; Therefore if the Bread and Wine were the body of Christ , then we need not faith to eat it , but all those which have teeth might eat Christs body , yea the Mice might eat it as well as Men , for they eat the same Bread that we do , as well after it is consecrated , as before .

  A brief discourse of the real presence of the body and blood of Christ in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist wherein the witty artifices of the Bishop of Meaux and of Monsieur Maimbourg are obviated, whereby they would draw in the Protestants to imbrace the doctrine of transubstantiation.

summary:
  But if Christ meant that Body or Flesh of his and not some other that is rightly also called his Flesh or Body , it would follow that that Souldier by doing that savage and inhumane act , would have obtained Everlasting Life . And he thus dwelling in us , he enlivens us , we becoming one with Christ in a manner as the Soul and Body makes one , as it followeth in the next verse , As the living father has sent me , and I live by the father , so he that eateth me shall live by me , and so we become one with Christ and Christ with us , we living by Christ as he by his Father ; that is to say , as Christ ▪ lives by his Father , so we live by the Spirit of Christ dwelling in us , Rom. 8. 11. which Spirit or Life of Christ always implies the Divine Body .

summary:
  And it is the less wonder it is so in the Incarnation , wherein an Union is implied between an Infinite and Finite Nature ; when the Union of the Soul and Body , though both Finite , is above our Comprehension , though we our selves consist of Souls and Bodies so united ? For he did not think Hypostatical Union necessary , to make the Elements become the Body of Christ , but a Divine Energy was sufficient , as the Bodies assumed by Angels are their Bodies , tho there be no such vital Union , as there is between the Soul and Body of a Man.

  Transubstantiation defended and prov'd from Scripture in answer to the first part of a treatise intitled, A discourse against transubstantiation.

summary:
  The Word My can have Relation to no other Person but our Lord , who spoke it ; nor consequently to any other Body , but his own , truly so , as to it's Substance , and therefore truly exprest by the Word , Body ; that , which was before Bread , at the beginning of the Enunciation , This is my Body , being now made to be his Body at its Conclusion , because in Practical Propositions as this is , with God to say , and to do , are the same thing ; and thus you see , what is meant by each word in the Proposition , This is my Body , as explicated by Catholics , tho' you do not believe the Mystery . For he carried that Body in his hands ; such a one I say , can readily believe that our Saviour did properly , and really hold himself in his hand , and give away himself , but not from himself with his own hands ; by reason of the natural Connection and Concomitance which his Sacred Soul and Divinity have with his Body and Blood , under the visible Species of Bread and Wine .

  The history of Popish transubstantiation to which is premised and opposed, the Catholick doctrin of Holy Scripture, the ancient fathers and the Reformed churches, about the sacred elements, and presence of Christ in the blessed sacrament of the eucharist / written nineteen years ago in Latine, by the Right Reverend Father in God, John, late Lord Bishop of Durham, and allowed by him to be published a little before his death, at the earnest request of his friends.

summary:
  3. And further it appears from the same words , that the expression of Christ and the Apostle , is to be understood in a Sacramental and mystick sense ; and that no gross and carnal presence of body and bloud can be maintained by them . 3. We believe a Presence and Union of Christ with our soul and body , which we know not how to call better than Sacramental , that is , effected by eating ; that while we eat and drink the consecrated Bread and Wine , we eat and drink therewithal the Body and Bloud of Christ , not in a corporal manner , but some other way , incomprehensible , known only to God , which we call spiritual ; for if with St. Bernard and the Fathers a man goes no further , we do not find fault with a general explication of the manner , but with the presumption and self-conceitedness of those who boldly and curiously inquire what is a spiritual presence , as presuming that they can understand the manner of acting of Gods holy Spirit .
