But here some reply that S.

So the wyse men which came from the east partes by the leading of a star worshipped hym at his birth are therfore commended and preserued from kyng Herodes crueltie They kneled downe saith the text and worshiped hym and opened their treasures and offered giftes gold frankynsence mirre By gold they confessed him to be a king by frankynsence they acknowledge him to be God for all nations do offer that only to such which thei take to be gods and by myr with which suche as dye be annointed they cōfessed him to be a mortall and natural man So do thou knele to Christ and worship his body bloud not in the east partes but in the heauenly Ierusalem and at the trone of Gods maiestie not in the sacrament but in heauen where he is now at the right hande of his father Offer vnto him their frankynsence and myr that is confesse hym to be very God and very naturall man ▪ confesse him frō the bottom of thy heart to be thy Lord and thy sauiour and render vnto him many thankes due prayses for humbling himself to mās nature for thy redemption and honor This is the true and right honor with which he would haue his body worshiped Hold vp thy handes to Christes body in heauen and spare not knele to it knock on thy breast If thou wilt knele and worship it in the sacrament thou doest lyke as if the aforesaid wysemen had in the east partes worshiped him in y e star had kneled to him in the star offered their giftes to the same which had bene idolatry and so is this Thou must go to Bethleem that is to the house of spiritual bread which bread is Christ in the glory of God the father and there thou must worship his body not in the forme of bread and wyne For Bethleem is an Hebrue worde and in Latin and English it is asmuch to say as ●omus panis y e house of bread You haue heard one way how Christes body may be honored Chrisostom a learned and a holy father of Christes churche teacheth vs another way in a certayne Homily which he writeth to the people of Antioche De sumentibus indigne diuina est sancta misteria of such which vnworthely and vnreuerently presume to come to Gods holy misteries He there speaking of the worshiping of Christes body doth not teache them to knele or to holde vp their handes to the sacramēt but a clene other way Because you shal not thinke this to be newe doctrine whiche is the faith and doctrine of all the elder fathers I wyll reherse vnto you his wordes Vis christi corpus honorare wilt thou honor Christes body saith Chrisostom and he aunwereth Ne nudum cum despicias c. then clothe him and haue pitie on hym when thou seest him naked And he addeth a reason Qui namque dixit hoc est corpus meum verbo factum confirmauit idē dixit esuriētem me vidistis non pauistis me quod non fecistis vni ex his minimis neque mihi fecistis that is to saye for he that said this is my body and performed his word said also you sawe me hongry and fed me not
