infer'd that after the solemnity ended He drank no more of the fruit of the Vine which advantageth him nothing And yet 3. If neither of these two answers could stand yet seeing we have made it probable if not necessary that these words should be understood of the Eucharisticall Cup His argument falls to the ground irrevocably Sect. 17 For a close I will mind him of what Jansenius has long ago told him that this Argument is frivolous and unconcluding Hence it appears In locum saith he How infirm that Argument is which some of our men suppose efficacious to prove Transubstantiation from this that Christ said non bibam de genimine vitis inferring that what he drank of was not so c. For saith he should we grant which yet is less probable that this was said by S. Luke before the Consecration yet by Saint Matth. and Mark it seems clearly to be spoken after so that our arguing from uncertainties which with greater probabilities may be rejected then alledged will never be sufficient to establish any Dogma or opinion but rather give occasion to Heretick's to be more pertinacious in their Errours when they see such weak arguments brought against them Thus I have vindicated the Doctours Arguments Sect. 18 I will but adde one more Mich. le Faucheur de la eene de Signeur though I can tell him where to meet with an hundred and that is this That which the Apostle six or seven times in one or two Chapters calls Bread is bread but the Eucharist after consecration is so call'd by the Apostle 2 Cor. 10.16 17. chap. 11. vers 26.27 28. The minor is evident to any that hath eyes and will believe them The major I prove thus 1 If that which is once call'd the body of Christ be sufficiently argued to be so albeit it hath all the accidents of another thing and seems to all our senses to be so then that which is called Bread seven times and seems to all our senses so to be is sufficiently proved to be so but the first is true For the Council of Trent thence proves the Body of Christ to be Corporally in the Sacrament If it doth it efficaciously then it must be so If not then 't is not an infallible interpreter of Scripture nor is their argument thence concluding Now that this was said but once by Christ albeit repeated by three Evangelists and one apostle is clear This sequel is also evident For there is greater reason for the one then the other viz. That what is seven times called bread by the Spirit of God should be so when all our senses testifie it then that which was but once call'd the body of Christ should be so in Contradiction to all the senses of the Universe To cite all the Fathers that here speak for us would be an endless work Sect. 19 he that would see some hundreds of evident citations to this purpose let him consult Bishop Vshers Answer to the Jesuits challenge Bishop Morton Bishop Taylor and Doctor Featly on this very Subject Books very obvious but especially the two voluminous confuters of Cardinal Perron Mich. Le Faueheur and Bernardus Albertinus to whom I refer the Reader for abundant satisfaction and shall content my self with one only passage of Theodoret who in his second Dial. brings in a man contending that Christs humane nature was swallowed up of the Divine which he illustrates thus As the Elements or Symbols of the Lords body before the invocation of the Priest are one thing but after Invocation are changed and made another so the Lords body after his Ascension is changed into a Divine substance to which he answereth You are caught in your own net for the Symbols do not go out of their proper nature but remain 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the former substance wherein they were And thus I have finish'd the first part of the Chapter concerning Transubstantiation Sect. 20 I come now to return an answer to what he hath pleaded for the Adoration of the Sacrament And first the place which he cites out of St. Chrysostome will not conclude his purpose For albeit he saith 1 Cor. 10. Ho. 24. let us imitate the barbarous Magi yet does he not say as our Authors parenthesis would have him that we should imitate them in worshipping our Lord but onely tells us that they address'd themselves unto him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 with a great deal of fear or horrour Let us therefore stir up our selves saith he 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and shew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 far greater fear then they For this Exposition of the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the comparison requires And that this word ordinarily bears the sence if any would farther be inform'd let him have recourse to Beza or any other Commentator upon the 5. Heb. 7 and he may receive satisfaction from them Secondly Did Chrysostome indeed speak of Adoration yet might he bid us imitate these Magi not by adoring the Elements but him that is represented by them Hom. 8 q. in Matth. Thus when elsewhere he sayes that it is Christ who begs and receives in the poor mans sheaf and bids us reverence him I suppose he would not have the reverence done to the poor man but directed to our Lord and Saviour The other three Citations tell us onely this Sect. 21 that they did adore Christs flesh in the Sacrament Mr. Cr. p. 131. and what is that to the purpose for it is very well known that the Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and the Latine Adoro are used by the Fathers for any kind of reverence as when it is said by Tertullian Adoro Scripturae plenitudinem and by the Council of Carthage apud Cyprianum Adorabilia Scripturae verba 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Isid Pelusiot Lib. 1. Ep. 136. But to come to particulars Sect. 22 that place of Saint Ambrose doth not necessarily refer to the Sacrament De Sp. l. 3. c. 1. Answ But were it to be understood of the Eucharist he saith no more then this That in these mysteries we worship Christ and consequently the flesh of Christ as being not divided from him but he doth not say that in adoring the mysteries we adore Christ And as for Saint Augustine Sect. 23 he propounds the very same Objection I fear saith he to worship the Earth lest he that made Heaven and Earth should damn me for it thus fluctuating I turn to Christ and here I find how the Earth may be worshipped because flesh is of the Earth now he took flesh upon him and gave us his flesh to eat which no man eats nisi prius adoraverit but he that hath first adored viz. Christ As it follows cum adoras illum that is when you worship him to wit Christ Let not the thoughts be of the flesh No you must not worship that alone but as conjoyned with the Deity Do we eat that flesh that
