184 LIVES OF THE PURITANS. and arrogant. I have before heard of your stubborn heart, but now I perceive it. J. My lord, who he is that liketh him-elf so well, and is so stubborn and arrogant, that Lord, who trieth the hearts of all, must judge, B. Why, you being unlearned, stand stubbornly against us all, and so no learning will satisfy you. J. I would fain understand with what words Christ did consecrate. Dr. Wilson. With this word, benedixit. J. Be it so., But we know not the words with which Christ did benedicere. Therefore, we must consecrate with we know not what. L. C. J. .Ah ! Johnson, Is this your submission ? J. I must needs defend my own innocence. G: Johnson, you in a manner confess as much as you are charged with. For you confess, that when the wordsof the institution were recited, you had no wine. J. I do not confess that. I had both bread and wine.' G. But you had not that wine. J. No. G. Therefore it was not consecrated. J. The words before repeated were sufficient for the con- secration. D. Then, with those words you consecrated all the wine in the tavern. J. No, sir, it was the wine that was brought from the tavern to the church, and of a common wine, was appointed to be a sacramental wine, to represent Christ's blood ; and this is consecration. D. Why then, with you, the word is of no force. J. It is not of force to bring any holiness to the sacra- inent; I trust you do not think that the word naaketh the bread any holier when used in the sacrament. W. Yes, it is holy bread. B. It is a holy sacrament. J. That I confess. But holiness is in the use and end, not in the substance. For otherwise you would make a magical enchantment of it, and not a consecration. Dr. Cranmer 5 in his book on the sacrament, saith, " There cometh no holiness to the bread by consecration." G. If thou Wert well served, thou wouldst be used like a magician. J. Whatever your judgment may be, I stand or fall to my own Lord. .01.101=1:17
