XLVII. THE IVDGE.

Hvsse holds whole Christ doth in the Eucharist
Vnder the formes of bread and wine consist.
Luther's opinion is, that we are fed
With Christ's true real flesh, but ioyn'd with bread.
Zuinglius maintaineth, that the bread and wine
Are not Christ's bodie, but a naked signe.
Caluin dissenting from the former, saith
Tis truly Christ, but to the mouth of faith.
All these were learned Doctours, and suppos'd
To be by th'Spirit to all Truth dispos'd;
These all haue Colledges, and men of name,
Yea Townes, or Nations, which maintaine the same;
The Scripture's words they did acknowledge all,
All vs'd the same endeauours, which they call
The best approued way, and meanes most fit
To finde the true sense of th'Eternall's Writ;

93

They all had skill in tongues, they all perus'd
And weigh'd the Text, they all (they thought) still vs'd
Due diligence with prayer, and places hard
And doubtfull speaches carefully compar'd:
Yet did they all in this and manie more
Chief heads of Faith, which I haue toucht before,
Dissent so farre, as by a mutuall stile
In greatest heat each other to reuile
With th'name of Heretick; and still did grudge
To be oppos'd by anie: Where's the Iudge?
