they myght see with their eyes the thynge which they harde & red, & so haue their sēces occupyed a boute the mystery, that they myght the more earnestlye prynte it in their mynde. As by exāple: [Sidenote: Hier. 27.] The prophete Ieremye beynge in Ierusalē in the tyme of Sedechias Kynge of the Iewes, prophesyed ād preached vnto thē, that they shuld be takē presoners of Nabugodonosar the Kyng of Babylō. And the Iewes were angrye with hym & wolde not beleue hys wordes. And therfore he made a chayne or fetter of woode ād put thē a boute hys necke, ād prophecyed agayne, ād preached that they shulde be taken presoners ād ledde captyue in to Babylon. And as hys wordes ded certyfye their eares that they shulde be subdued, so the chayn ded represēt their captyuite euē before their eyes, which thynge ded more vehementlye worke in them then the bare wordes coulde do, ād euen so it is in the sacrament. For lykewyse as the wordes ded instyll it in to our eares, that hys bodye was geuen for vs, ād hys bloode shedde for the remyssyon of our synnes, euen so ded the mynystracyon of the Sacrament expresse the same thynge vnto our syght and dothe more effectuouslye moue vs, thē the bare wordes myght do, and make vs more attentyue vnto the thynge, that we maye whollye geue thankes vnto God ād prayse hym for hys boūteous benefyttes. And therfor seynge it is as a preacher, expressynge vnto our syght the same thynge that the wordes do to our eares, you muste receyue yt with reverence ād sober behavyoure, aduertysynge the thynge that it representeth vnto you. And euen the same honoure is due vnto it which is geuē vnto the scrypture that is the worde of God. For vnto that must a man devoutlye geue eare, ād reverentlye take the boke in hys hande: yea, & yf he kysse the boke for the doctrynes sake that he learneth thereout, he is to be commended. Neuerthelesse yf he shulde go sense hys boke, men myght well thynke that he were verye chyldyshe. But yf he shulde knele downe and praye to hys boke, then he ded cōmytte playne Idolatrye. Consyder deare bretherne what I say, and avoyde thys Ieoperdye. Which thynge avoyded, I care not as towchynge the presence of hys bodye, though you beleue that hys naturall fleshe be there in dede, and not onelye in a mystery, as I haue taught. For when the Ieoperdye is paste, he were a foole that wolde be cōtencyous for a thynge, as longe as there commeth no hurte therbye. The Germaynes which beleue the presence of hys bodye, do not worshyppe it, but playnly teache the contrarye, and in that poynte (thankes be to God) all they whome you call heretyckes do agre full well. Onelye avoyde thys Idolatrye, and I desyre no more. The cōclusyon of thys Treatyse.
