Almighty God and so fulfil his appointment So the Constitutions whereby it is manifest not onely that such commemoration was made but that it was made upon the account of Divine institution In all the Liturgies ascribed to St. James St. Basil St. Chrysostom c. the like commemoration passeth currant For the Latines listen to St. Ambrose Sacerdos dicit ergo memores gloriosissimae ejus passionis ab inferis resurrectionis in coelum ascensionis Offerimus tibi c. The Priest sayes Therefore commemorating his most glorious passion resurrection from the Dead and Ascension into heaven we offer up unto thee c. Agreeable to which is the now Canon of the mass whence it is that the same Ambrose of the words do this in remembrance of me gives this paraphrase Mortem meam praedicabitis resurrectonem meam annunciabitis adventum sperabitis donec iterum ad-veniam ye shall set forth my death declare my resurrection and hope for my coming until I shall come again Indeed St. Paul himself seems so to interpret them saying For as often as ye shall eat this bread and drink this cup ye shew the Lords death till he come 1 Cor. 11. 26. implying that Annunciation or declaration of Christs passion was usually made at the celebrating the Eucharist which could no otherwise be then by verbal commemoration To the people in their hands so was the celebration observed by Christ himself and so the Primitive custome the scrupulous person mentioned before in Eusebius is said 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to stretch out his hand for the receiving of the sacred food So St. Cyprian speaking of persons lapsed who intruded to the Communion before they had performed those solemnities of penance which the Church required saith Plus modo in Dominum manibus et ore delinquunt quam cum Dominum negaverunt They did more heinously offend God with their hands reacht out to take and their mouthes open to devour those pretious symbols then they the Jews did with their tongues when they denyed him To the same purpose this father elsewhere very often so also Clemens Alexandrinus Augustine who not In tract of time some indiscreet persons pretending greater reverence to the mysteries as if they were defiled with their hands were at the cost to provide certain saucers or little plates of gold why not as well golden mouths and stomacks to receive it until they were forbidden by the sixth Councel in Trullo Another abuse the Church of Rome brought in where the Priest puts it into the peoples mouth least a crum should fall beside which favouring Transubstantiation is by our Church discontinued Kneeling The antients made it their study to adorn the blessed Eucharist with all the Appellations of honour they could devise some called it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. the perfection of perfections some 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the dreadful mysteries some 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the exemplar of high mysteries The table on which it was said was called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the holy Table 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the mysticnl Table 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the terrible and dreadful Table much cost to slender purpose if after all it be now be discovered they were in the wrong and that this Sacrament hath nothing of that veneration nothing of that dreadfulness which they imputed to it and that it is so same and despicable an Ordinance as will admit of any negligent posture and that kneeling is too good for it Miserable infatuation Good God how well mayest thou say to those missed souls as Augustus to him who entertained him meanly I did not think you and I had been so familiar Blessed Jesus wert thou so gracious to us wretches as to leave and bequeath us this mystery of our eternal redemption and great charter of all thy benefits and shall we dare to receive it in any other then the lowest and humblest posture What is if this be not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not to disdiscern the Lords Body and what the consequence of that in distinction is let all them consider who would avoid it But it may be said that Kneeling was not the gesture of the Primitive Church Confest generally it was not because their fashion was upon Communion days to pray standing Nevertheless the communicant was enjoyned to receive those mysteries 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 bowing himself after the manner of vene●ation and Adoration Now can Augustines words be otherwayes truly interpreted Nemo carnem illam manducat nisi prius adoraverit Let none presume to eat that flesh until he hath done his Obeysance Nor was this Oecumenical and universal practise for Sozomen tells a story of a woman which to please her husband comming to the Communion took the bread when the Priest gave it her and kneeling down as if it had been to secret prayer conveyed it away her maid then by privily stealing a peece of common bread into her hands which she eat instead of the other whence it appeareth that kneeling was not then interdicted A gesture used by the Protestants of Bohemia upon whose custo me mentioned in their Confession the French and Dutch Churches passed this judgement In hoc ritu suam cuique Ecclesiae libertatem salvam relinquendam arbitramur As to this ceremony we hold it fit that every Church be left to her own liberty A gesture which by Beza's own confession olim potuit cum fructis usurpari might in times past have been used with edification In time past why not now as well yea much rather when as the fear of reverting to Popish Idolatry is altogether vain so the danger of Apostatizing from Christ is very great and no way sooner occasioned then by a sitting posture it being observed by the Polish Church that the men who lapsed there into the Arrian haeresie were all such as addicted themselves to that posture at the Communion The body of our Lord c. If you take a view of the elder formes as they stand lateral to the Common prayer you may perceive this constituted by the coupling and uniting of the other two which were before unhappily divorced For the first form in the ● Book excluding the words commemorative of Christs death and passion which those divine Mysteries were ordered to represent as it is the precise formula of the Masse-book so might it be suspected as overserviceable to the Doctrine of Transubstantion to which the Romanists applied it Again in the next Book the Commemoration being let in and the body and blood of Christ shut out that real Presence which all sound Protestants seem to allow might probably be implied to be denied Excellently well done therefore was it of Q. Elizabeth her Reformers to link them both together for between the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist and the Sacramental commemoration of his passion there is so inseparable a league as subsist they cannot unlesse they
