from heauen and saying That this bread is his flesh which he will giue for the life of the world He declareth that he will giue his body for our food and redemption And adding after He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud hath life euer lasting and I will rasse him vp at the last day for my flesh is meate indeed and my bloud is drinke indeed Hee signified the effects of this meate contrary to the effects of the meate of Adam The meate of Adam cause of death a deadly morsell an carthly food a food of anguish The meate of our Sauiour spring of life bread of life bread from heauen flesh of ioyfulnesse and of resurrection When he said Hee that eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud abideth in me and I in him He sheweth that he giues his flesh for this vnion for a bond of amity and perpetuall pledge of his loue towards vs. Hee hath then giuen his body in this life for our good as many waies as it could be giuen for our redemption for our meat for our remedy for a pledge vnto vs to deliuer vs to nourish vs. to heale vs and to comfort vs and will giue it in heauen to glory for vs. Hath he giuen sufficiently is he sufficiently liberall to giue himselfe so liberally and at so many time and by so many wayes on earth and to promise himselfe vnto vs yet another way in heauen And are not wee exceedingly vngratefull in not acknowledging his goodnesse no lesse vniust in not giuing our selues to him that haue nothing but from him And most ingratefull in making no better vse of his gifts ordained to vnite our selues vnto him and amongst our selues for the attaining of life euerlasting What hath this diuine Spouse done What hath he inuented What doth he not What hath he not deuised to gaine the loue of a faithfull soule And what doe we In what doe we employ our selues to gaine his loue And who is it of whom this Prince so infinitly rich mighty and beautifull is so much inamored but of a poore caytiffe and deformed creature whom he would enrich nobilitate and beautifie to make him worthy of his Kingdome And how would he seeke to purchase by so many meanes the loue of such a creature if he were not goodnesse it selfe O infinit Goodnesse infinit Wisdome infinite Power fulnesse Make our soules holily inamored of thy beauty enlighten them with the diuine beames of thy celestiall knowledge and make them worthy of thy sacred loue 5. PRIDE AND LICENTIOVSNES ENEmies of Faith and the first aduersaries of the holy Sacrament PRide and sensuality are vncapable to vnderstand the wonders of God and vnworthy to receiue his benefits Wee haue heard the diuine promises of our Sauiour speaking of the eating of his flesh and of the euerlasting fruits thereof heere was cause to wonder at the height of the mystery and liberality of the Giuer and good occasion to say as Saint Peter a little after wondering said Thou bast the words of eternall life Iohn 6.63 They were heere neuerthelesse who in stead of being lifted vp in admiration were strucke downe to death by the words of life because pride and sense had made them bad hearers of the truth enemies of the light and vnable to behold further then humane iudgement could reach In so much as though truth it selfe did speake vnto them they murthered themselues by the voice of truth thinking that eyther he could not doe as he promised and giue his flesh to eate or that if hee could doe it it should be a very inhumane and barbarous act They vnderstood of flesh saith S. Augustine as if one should dismember a dead body or as men sell it in the market S. August Trust 27. in Ioan. in Psal 98. and flesh vnderstood not what it was he called flesh They thought that our Sauiour would cut his body into little bits and serue it to the table boyled and dressed as the body of a beast and standing vpon the bulwarke of their carnall imaginations and pushed forward by the spirit which blindes the soule in stead of being edified they were scandalized and became perfidious in their heart rude in their thought and blasphemers in their language and did say How can this man giue vs his flesh to cate Behold Iohn 6.52.60 a hard saying and who can endure it By the first question they did shew their incredulity not perswading themselues that our Sauiour could accomplish that which he did promise by the second they made their pride appeare condemning our Sauiour as if he intended to commit an horrible crime by killing himselfe and giuing mans flesh to eare if he should be able to doe that which he said People extreamely blinded with pride and sensuality for they had seene a little before a thousand of miracles done by the hand of our Sauiour and beleeued them without asking How And in stead of learning by those so many rare workes to beleeue more easily they heere aske How more incredulous then euer But why are they now so little obedient to the voice of our Sauiour Why were they not before more scrupulous and wary Wherfore did they not as well aske how he made the blinde to see the lame to walke the diuels to flye and of the fresh miracle how hee satisfied fiue thousand men with fiue Loaues and two Fishes Heere their How had been much more to purpose and more pertinent for they might haue vnderstood thereby that he did these things in the authority power of a Master Al-wise and Al-mighty and this knowledge would haue perswaded them that hee could powerfully and wisely accomplish this which hee so manifestly did promise of his flesh although it seemed impossible and absurde to their sense and iudgement But what will you They were proud and their pride had made them to lose the memory of what was past and bound their eyes not to see the truth present nor to fore-see the truth to come and in one word did make them obstinately erronious that is to say Heretikes Behold the first controulers the first persecutors and first Herenkes stirred vp against the truth of this holy Sacrament behold the first authors of Quomodo How out of which mould the Diuell hath shaped all the rest which sithence haue conspired against God for to assault the mysteries of his Church by Quomodo and by How and namely to shake this heere as the most high and most repugnant to their senfuality It was pride and the flesh that made them mutiners and rebels against the doctrine of Iesus Christ and presumptuous to comdemne that which they vnderstood not So the Arrians mocked at the Catholike faith concerning the generation of the Sonne of God whilest they would vnderstand that which they could not and would not beleeue that which they should to wit that God had begotten a Sonne Psal 3.7 Psal 109.1 and in stead of saying Christianlike I beleeue

Aug. lib. 1. de Ciuit. cap. 21. hauing a thousand meanes within the treasure of his diuine secrets to accomplish this which he hath promised thee If thy sonne be faire wise and vertuous so much more is he worthy to be presented before the eyes of his Maiesty No person will blame thee to haue obeyed God and if men blame thee wh● 〈…〉 to doe with the words and iudgement of 〈…〉 ●orld where the voice of the high God resound 〈…〉 And thy wife if shee be wise will take it 〈…〉 ●uing place to necessitie and to the diuine will 〈…〉 shee be not wise thou must not regard her On 〈…〉 and care not for any other thing our Lord Alm 〈…〉 nath so commanded it and his commandement can be for nothing but for thy good nor the execution of it but for thy merit and praise So Nature combated with Faith and Reason with Grace but in the end the victory remained to Faith and Grace Wherefore being come to the top of the Mountaine and hauing laid in order the wood vpon the Altar and made ready euery thing for the Holocaust Abraham doth declare his intention to his sonne and then dearely embracing him saith to him O my deare sonne euen now thou askedst of me where the Lambe was that is to be sacrificed It is thou my beloued which must be that Lambe It is thou that the great God hath chosen thou art no more mine I am no more thy Father thou art the Holocaust consecrated at this time to the honor of God Adew my son and with these words losing his voice sobbing and weeping he kissed him But Isaak said to him O my most honorable Father the will of God and yours be fulfilled my life is his and yours and my death cannot haue a more honorable graue then the Altar of his Maiestie Farewell my most honorable Father accomplish his good pleasure Adew my most honorable Mother without farewell I bewaile your sorrow bewaile not my death since it is so diuinely ordained you shall see me in the Land of the Liuing Abraham now hath bound him and set him vpon the wood and bathing him with teares kisseth him againe and the more that he saw him couragious and obedient the more was his heart wounded with fatherly loue towards him Then Isaak like a little Lambe consenting to all from his heart as hath been said and putting himselfe as he could on his knees after the manner as you see recommends himselfe to God offering himselfe as a liuely Holocaust to his holy will and his necke peaceably to his Fathers hand so to become a perfect Sacrifice Abraham his arme is lifted vp and is ready to strike O God be mercifull to this poore Father and his pious son be thou contented if it please thee● with the good will and liuely faith of them both they are already Sacrificed to thee in their hearts Feare you not O meeke and tender soules Behold the Angell which hinders the blow and cries with a high voice ABRAHAM AERAHAM stay thy hand strike not thy childe ABRAHAM stayes and falls on his knees rauished with pleasure and admiration The Angell shewes him a Ramme caught in the bush by the hornes to burne in the Holocaust instead of Isaak Abraham goes and puts it on the Altar with thanksgiuing and so are they both deliuered and both gaue thankes to God for this diuine fauour O great God thy name be blessed as well in this thy command as in thy countermand thereof O thou art wise in both and good in both O how well thou knowest to make triall of the faith and loue of those that thou louest and mightily to deliuer them from paine and to set them in repose 1. ISAAK AND THE RAMME SACRIFIced a Figure of the death of our Sauiour and of the Sacrifice and Sacrament of his body NO person doubts that the Sacrifice made in the person of Isaak and the Ramme containes the Figure of the death of our Sauiour the resemblance consists in these points which Saint Augustine in one of his Sermons no lesse piously then eloquently obserueth S. Aug. Serm. 7. de Temp. Abraham giueth his sonne in Sacrifice and his sonne Isaak also giueth himselfe God the Father gaue his Sonne for our redemption and Iesus Christ for the same cause gaue himselfe to his Father Isaak carrieth his wood to the Mountaine Iesus Christ carrieth his Crosse to Mount Caluary which is the very same Mountaine whereon Isaak was offered saith the same Doctor hauing learned it of Saint Hierom S. Aug. Serm. 71. de Temp. Ioseph lib 1. Antiq. cap. 13. whom he citeth And it importeth not that Iosephus writeth that Isaak was offered in the Mountaine Moria where Salomon builded his Temple for the place of the Temple and Mount Caluary were in one and the same Mountaine though distant in place and the selfe-same Mount Caluary was also the Sepulcher of Adam As for the killing and the burning of the sheepe or Ramme vpon the Altar in stead of Isaak it containeth another mystery accomplished on the Crosse as declareth Saint AVGVSTINE S. Aug. Serm. 71. de Temp. Abraham saith he represented God the Father giuing his onely Sonne ISAAK represents Iesus Christ obedient to his Father and offering himselfe vpon the Altar of the Crosse but the Diuinity represented by ISAAK endures not any hurt but onely the humanity signified by the Ramme hee is tyed by his hornes as Iesus Christ was tyed in power signified by hornes and by his owne power for no other power could master hold or binde him Caught in a bush as our Sauiour was S. Aug. Serm. 71 de Temp. Fastened saith the same Doctor to the bush when he hung betweene the hornes of the Crosse his hands and feete nailed and his head crowned with thornes These are the resemblances of the Crosse to the Sacrifice of Abraham No man also doubteth but this selfe-same Sacrifice was a Figure of the Sacrifice and Sacrament of the Masse seeing that this hath alwayes been the faith of the
