can have reference to no other substance but that which hee then held in his sacred hands namely bread wines which are of so different a nature from the body and bloud of Christ that the one cannot possibly in proper sense be said to be the other as the light of common reason doth force the Romanists themselves to confesse Secondly that in the Predicate or latter part of the same propositions there is not mention made only of Christs body and bloud but of his body broken and his bloud shed to shew that his body is to be considered here apart not as it was borne of the Virgin or now is in heaven but as it was broken and crucified for us and his bloud likewise apart not as running in his veines but as shed out of his body which the Rhemists have told us to be conditions of his person as hee was in sacrifice and oblation And lest wee should imagine that his body were otherwise to bee considered in the sacrament than in the sacrifice in the one alive as it is now in heaven in the other dead as it was offered upon the Crosse the Apostle putteth the matter out of doubt that not onely the minister in offering but also the people in receiving even as often as they eate this bread and drinke this cup doe shew the Lords death untill hee come Our elders surely that held the sacrifice to bee given and received for so we have heard themselves speak as well as offered did not consider otherwise of Christ in the sacrament than as hee was in sacrifice and oblation If here therefore Christs body be presented as broken and livelesse and his bloud as shed forth and severed from his body and it be most certaine that there are no such things now really existent any where as is confessed on all hands then must it follow necessarily that the bread and wine are not converted into these things really The Rhemists indeede tell us that when the Church doth offer and sacrifice Christ daily hee in mysterie and sacrament dyeth Further than this they durst not goe for if they had said hee dyed really they should thereby not only make themselves daily killers of Christ but also directly crosse that principle of the Apostle Rom. 6. 9. Christ being raised from the dead dyeth no more If then the body of Christ in the administration of the Eucharist be propounded as dead as hath been shewed and dye it cannot really but onely in mysterie and sacrament how can it be thought to bee contained under the outward elements otherwise than in sacrament and mysterie and such as in times past were said to have received the sacrifice from the hand of the Priest what other body and bloud could they expect to receive therein but such as was sutable to the nature of that sacrifice to wit mysticall and sacramentall Coelius Sedulius to whom Gelasius Bishop of Rome with his Synod of LXX Bishops giveth the title of venerable Sedulius as Venantius Fortunatus of conspicuous Sedulius and Hildephonsus Toletanus of the good Sedulius the Evangelicall Poet the eloquent Orator and the Catholicke Writer is by Trithemius and others supposed to be the same with our Sedulius of Scotland or Ireland whose Collections are extant upon St. Pauls Epistles although I have forborne hitherto to use any of his testimonies because I have some reason to doubt whether hee were the same with our Sedulius or no. But Coelius Sedulius whatsoever countryman hee was intimateth plainly that the things offered in the Christian sacrifice are the fruit of the corne and of the vine Denique Pontificum princeps summusque Sacerdos Quis nisi Christus adest gemini libaminis author Ordine Melchisedech cui dantur munera semper Quae sua sunt segetis fructus gaudia vitis or as hee expresseth it in his prose the sweete meate of the seede of wheate and the lovely drinke of the pleasant vine Of Melch●sedek according to whose order Christ and he onely was Priest our owne Sedulius writeth thus Melchisedek offered wine bread to Abraham for a figure of Christ offering his body and bloud unto God his Father upon the Crosse. Where note that first hee saith Melch sedek offered bread and wine to Abraham not to God and secondly that hee was a figure of Christ offering his body and bloud upon the crosse not in the Eucharist But we saith he doe offer daily for a commemoration of the Lords passion once performed and our owne salvation and elsewhere expounding those words of our Saviour Doe this in remembrance of me hee bringeth in this similitude used before and after him by others He left a memory of himselfe unto us even as if one that were going a farre journey should leave some token with him whom hee loved that as oft as hee beheld it hee might call to remembrance his benefits and friendship Claudius noteth that our Saviours pleasure was first to deliver unto his Disciples the sacrament of his bodie and bloud and afterwards to offer up the body it selfe upon the altar of the crosse Where at the first sight I did verily thinke that in the words fractione corporis an error had beene committed in my transcript corporis being miswritten for panis but afterwards comparing it with the originall whence I tooke my copie I found that the author retained the manner of speaking used both before and after his time in giving the name of the thing signified unto the signe even there where the direct intention of the speech was to distinguish the one from the other For hee doth expresly here distinguish the sacrament of the bodie which was delivered unto the Disciples from the body it selfe which was afterwards offered upon the Crosse and for the sacramentall relation betwixt them both hee rendreth this reason Because bread doth confirme the body and wine doth worke bloud in the flesh therefore the one is mystically referred to the body of Christ the other to his bloud Which doctrine of his that the sacrament is in it owne nature bread and wine but the body and bloud of Christ by mysticall relation was in effect the same with that which long afterwards was here in Ireland delivered by Henry Crumpe the Monke of Baltinglas that the bodie of Christ in the sacrament of the altar was onely a looking glasse to the body of Christ in heaven yea and within fifty or threescore yeeres of the time of Claudius Scotus himselfe was so fully maintained by Iohannes Scotus in a booke that hee purposely wrote of that argument that when it was alledged and extolled by Berengarius Pope Leo the ninth with his Bishops assembled in Synodo Vercellensi an● Domini 1050 which was 235. yeeres after the time that Claudius wrote his commentaries upon St. Matthew had no other meanes to avoide it but by flat condemning of it Of what great
