pollution nor cōmitted any sin by actuall transgression So that the Eagles herein resort to him as he is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that HOLY thing as S. Peter counselleth frame their holynes secundum eum qui vocauit Sanctum according to his Sanctity which being himselfe holy called them so to be And all this they receiue from THIS Body as he was Corpus Carnis in his flesh conuersing in the world But yet saith S. Bernard when I haue fed vpon him calling vnto him for the first that is knowledge and wisedome with the Prophet Dauid lighten thou mine eyes that I may see the wonders of thy law SAPIENS sum and I become WISE for the Second requested him with the same Prophet not to remember the Sinnes of my youth but recorde his mercies IVSTVS sum and so I am IVSTIFIED for the last prayed him to guid me in the way of Eternity sic SANCTVS sum and so I become holy notwithstanding all this saith he my wisedome by his instruction my righteousnes by his imputation my sanctity by his example and direction yet nisi SANGVIS eius interpellet pro me saluus non sum vnlesse this Corpus proue Cadauer and this Body of FLESH had beene a Body of DEATH saued I could not be in illa instituit in hac restituit saith the same Father elsewhere For vita in SANGVINE surely our substance and sustenance is from his DEATH as Sampson was fed and refresht by the DEAD Lion For what can bee so strong to worke Death which is not weakened by Christs DEATH The wrath of a Prince is the Messenger of death saith Solomon and wee were borne filii irae the sonnes of his wrath by whome Princes raigne Seize we therefore vpon this Body taste wee and see how gratious the Lord is and there we shall finde God and man reconciled by his death The wages of sinne is death and in sinne the best of vs are conceiued Search therefore the VVOVNDES of this Body and behold thy Cure in his gashes for by his STRIPES are we healed Say not with Cain his indignation is more thē can be satisfied my sinnes greater then can be remitted stir not from this Body but looke into the HOLE of his side pearced and see his heart bleeding in compassion of thine infirmities and feele his bowels melting at thy repentance The sauour of this DEAD Bodie drawes all the Eagles vnto it cum exaltatus fuero c. When I shall be LIFTED vp I shall draw all men vnto me This is the Trumpe of our profession we REACH Christ and him CRVCIFIED the triumph of our consolation God forbid we should reioyce in anie thing but in the CROSSE of Christ The substance of our Sacraments we are Baptized into his Death and as the Iewes in their Passeouer did eate their Lambe assum SLAINE and rosted so in the Eucharist we eat this Body mortuum passum DEAD and CRVCIFIED And thus the Eagles seed on him as he is factus Redemptio made vnto vs Redemption and say with S. Bernard quod ex me mihi deest vsurpo mihi ex visceribus Domini the defects in our selues the woundes of our Lord God shall make good But as the Angels moued the question why seeke we the liuing among the DEAD hee is not heere but is RISEN true for at it was impossible that hee should bee holden of Death so should it haue beene vncomfortable to vs because if in this life onely the hope were in Christ of all men the best men should be most miserable Their state no better then the Israelites deliuerance by Moses freedom from the Egyptian slauery but no possession in the land of Canaan a redemption from Hell but no inheritance in the Heauens And therefore as Corpus mortis his crucified Bodie had an Oportet a necessity adioyned thus it must be so Corpus Gloriae as Saint Paul cals it his GLORIFIED body had the Expedit a necessary conuenience so to be By his Bodie INCARNATE and DEAD Parauit nos mansioni he made vs fit for that mansion but by the last parauit mansionem nobis hee prepared that mansion for vs. Cōcerning the first he died saith S. August vt patiamur to make vs patient if we suffer for him by the last he excites our hope vt potiamur that wee shall also reigne with him Therefore though he be placed in the heauens without returne till the finall iudgement yet the Eagles his Elect seize euen there vpon him by their Praiers as their Intercessor accompting mediation by Saints as by fauourites to the Prince with Saint Ambrose a courtly reuerence no celestiall courtesie no canonicall custome acknowledging him with S. Iohn to be the ONELY master of requests the very presenting of his man-hood glorified vnto his Father being the sole interpellation for vs and no other Prayers either preuailing with God or auailing vs but those that are concluded per Christum Dominum nostrum by Christ Iesus our Lord. Secondly they resort by hope that as he tooke vpon him our Bodie and after that was taken vp to the right hand of his Father so though our Bodies corrupted prooue Esca vermium and buried bee semen terrae yet wee hope that he will chaunge our vile bodies make them like to his GLORIOVS body And so cōclude with S. Paul We know that when this domus è luto this Tabernacle of earth is mouldred away we haue structurā in Coelo a building eternall euerlasting in the Heauens and thus much for this BODY The summe whereof is breefely that of the Apostle that of our selues we haue no sufficiency but what we haue it is of CHRIST All knowledge without him but Prudentia carnis either ignorance or vanity al righteousnes not his pollutio panni staines and filth all holines not from him scoria obducta sinne gilded ciuility not Christianity any challenge by merit a presumptuous arrogancy atchieuement of heauen an impossibility All the Sacrifices before him Vmbra praecedens a shadow vshering this Body all after him Vmbrasequens resemblances therof remembrances gratulatory not oblations propitiatorie Briefely Inuocation of any besides him a sacrilegious blasphemy The conclusion S. Bernards exclamation quis non post illum ad illum libenter atque alacriter currat What is he that will not cheerefully flie vnto him qui ab errore liberat who rectifieth our errors in opinion and cleereth our ignorance by his doctrine errata dissimulat couereth the sinnes of our life with his righteousnes merita viuendo tradit makes vs vertuous by his example praemia moriendo conquirit sedendo largitur purchased rewardes for vs when he suffered and giues them vnto vs now that he is glorified But the swiftnesse both of the time and these Fowles
