Hom. 13. in Exod. Origen For which their doctrine and reuerence towardes this most holy Sacrament they are confessed and reproued by the Protestant writers (u) Against Symbolising part 1. p. 148. Parker (x) Aphorism de Eucharist fol. 230. Vadian (y) Lib. ep Suing et Oecol p. 690. Oecolumpadius and (z) Reioynder to Bristow and answeare to Sanders p. 687. Fulke In like sort concerning the receiuing of this Sacrament fasting it is so euidently taught by S. (a) Tom. 2. ep 118. c. 6. ante med Austin that (b) Hist sacram part 1. p. 48. Hospinian confesseth that Austin clearly signifyeth this fast to be an Apostolical tradition and therefore necessary to be obserued for he saith It pleaseth the holy Ghost that in honour of so great a Sacrament our Lords body should enter into the mouth of a Christian before other meates which practise was so general also in the greeke Church that Hammelmannus affirmeth that (c) De Apost tradit part 3. l. 3. col 814. Theophilus accused Chrisostome vnder this title that he debarred not from the Sacrament of the Eucharist those that were not fasting c. but Chrisost taking this for a greauous crime doth greatly excuse him selfe in his Epistle c. in these wordes If this be true let my name be blotted out of the booke of life And the same Hammelmannus concerning this very point saith vnto S. (d) Ibidem col 815. Austin Although thou Austin affirmest that the Church al ouer the world obserueth this c. yet I wil bring the contrary against thee The same also is acknowledged by (e) De Sacramentis p. 803. 804. Zepperus of S. Austin who further there (f) Ibidem p. 805. recyteth sundry Fathers requiring like enioyned Chastity of married persons before their communicating Lastly concerning holy bread S. Austin writeth that (g) Tom. 7. de pec mer. et remis l. 2. c. 26. prope init Though that which the Catechumens receiue be not the body of Christ yet it is more holy then the meates wherwith we are nourished And that the Catechumen might not receiue the Sacrament which S. Austin here calleth corpus Christi appeareth by S. Austin in seueral (h) Ibidem c. 2. ad tom 9. in Ioan. tract 11. 96. places A truth so cleare that D. (i) Against Heskins c. l. 3. c. 23. p. 377. Fulke answearing therto tearmeth it A superstitious bread geuen in S. Austines time to those that were Catechumens in steede of the Sacrament S. Austin teacheth that the Sacrament of the Eucharist is to be adored and other Fathers teach that it is to be inuocated and that Angels are present in time of the sacrifice SECTION 4. THough al Protestants Caluinistes or Suinglians do generally disclaime in the Sacraments adoratiō yet S. Austin writing vpon that part of the Psalme Adore ye the foote-stoole of his feete doth by this foot-stoole vnderstand earth and by earth the flesh of Christ saying (a) Tom. 8. in Psal 98. circa med Expounding what is the foote-stoole of his feete he saith the earth is the foote-stoole of his feete I become doubtful I feare to adoare the earth lest he condemne me which made the heauen and the earth Agine I feare not to adore the foote-stoole of the feete of my Lord because the Psalme saith vnto me adore ye the foote-stoole of his feete wauering I turne my selfe to Christ because here I seeke him and I finde how the earth may be adored without sinne how without sinne the foote-stoole of his feete may be adored for he tooke of earth earth because flesh is of earth and of the flesh of Mary he tooke flesh And because he walked here in that flesh and gaue vs that flesh to eate for our saluation now none eateth that flesh but first adoreth it It is found how such a foote-stoole of the feete of our Lord may be adored and not onely we may not sinne by adoring but sinne by not adoring c. Therefore when thou doest bow downe prostrate thy selfe to euery earth do not behould it as earth but as that holy one whose footestoole it is which thou adorest for for him thou doest adore Now wheras D. Bilson answeareth hereunto that (b) His true difference part 4. p. 536. It is eaten with the spirit adored with the spirit yea the very eating of it is the adoring of it S. Austin directly to the contrary distinguisheth eating from adoring maketh as we do adoring in priority to eating saying no man doth eate that flesh before that he adore it Teaching withal there yet further our adoring thereof not onely in spirit but also by external bowing downe prosternation And al this not as to his body or flesh present to vs alwaies after one and the same manner in heauen but as in reguard of the diuersity of time and place vpon often celebration ad terram quamlibet euen to euery earth or consecrated host which we behould And in further discouery of this shift S. Austin maketh further frequent mention of adoration euen in the vnworthy for speaking of the rich proud men who do vnworthily receiue acknowledgeth yet their external adoring saying therof (c) Tom. 8. in Psal 21. concione 1. prope fin Al the rich men of the earth haue eaten and adored the rich men of the earth haue eaten the body of their Lords humility yet they are not filled to imitation as the poore but yet they haue adored And againe (d) Tom. 2. ep 120. ad Honoratum They are brought to the table of Christ and receiue his body and bloud but they only adore they are not filled because they do not imitate c. They come to the table they eate and adore but they are not filled because they do not hunger thirst iustice This doctrine of Adoration is so plainly S. Austines that (e) Scripta Anglicana p. 678. Bucer confesseth that Austin writeth in many places that the body and bloud of our Lord is to be honoured and receiued in the visible signes In further explication of S. Austines beleefe in this so material a point of faith the answearable sayinges of the other Fathers are very pertinent as namely of S. Ambrose S. Chrisostome S. Nazianzen and S. Basil al of them liuing in S. Austines age and by him highly (f) Tom. 7. cont Iulian. Pelag. l. 2. c. 2. 3. 4. 10. commended S. Ambrose then as heretofore did S. Austin (g) De spiritu sancto l. 3. c. 12. saith by the footstoole is vnderstoode the earth and by earth the flesh of Christ which we also at this day do adore not mystically or in a mystery but in mysterijs c. in the mysteries of the external elements of the Sacrament Euen as S. Austin in like manner is confessed by Hospinian to say (h) Hist sacram part 1. l. 5. p. 533. see Gratian distinct 2.
