estéeme not much of all those lightes that men vse in the solemnization of their feastes And then folow those words that I haue before written And immediatly after those wordes he sayth I haue also a fielde which the Lorde hath blessed full of flowers more flourishing and more durable then any flowers that growe in the spring time I meane sayth he the Priests and swéete sauoring shepherds and teachers and a people thoughe it be but small in number yet pure chosen out and picked c. Now M. Watson how say you by your Nazianzen will you haue him to allowe your priuate Masses with their effectes your Tapers and Torchlight your ringing singing with blowing of Organs Your masking mumming and dumbe Idole Priestes that can doe nothing else but sing and say their seruice in an vnknowne tongue c. No no all wise men may sée that he is of a farre other minde Nowe let vs sée what Cyrillus will saye to this matter He sayth say you Non mortem solum c. Not onely death c. If I did not know your olde maner in falsifiyng the sayings of auncient fathers I could neuer maruayle ynough at your beastly blindnesse in cyting this place for your purpose You would haue Cyrill to beare you recorde that the sacrament of the aultar is an armour and defence against the temptations of our ghostly enimie c. To make his words more plaine to the reader I will let him sée in wryting a fewe of those wordes that go before that which you cite First he speaketh in the person of him that doubteth of hauing any commoditie by the receyuing of the sacrament of Christes body and bloud bicause saint Paule hath sayde that whosoeuer shall eate the bread and drinke the cup vnworthily shall eate and drinke his owne condemnation And I saith such one doe examine my selfe and finde my selfe vnworthye When therefore sayth Cyrill wilt thou whosoeuer thou art that speakest these wordes be worthy When wilt thou offer thy selfe to Christ For if thou be vnworthy bicause thou doest sinne and thou leauest not of sinning for who doth vnderstande his owne sinne as sayth the Psalmist then shalt thou be vtterly without any part of this sanctification To this he aunswereth thus Quare pias quaeso cogitationes suscipias studiose sancteque vinas benedictione participes quae mihi crede non mortem solum verum etiam morbos omnes depellit Sedat enim cum in nobis maneat Christus seuientem membrorum nostrorum legem pietatem corroborat perturbationes animi extinguit nec in quibus sumus peccatis consyderat sed aegrotos curat collisos redintegrat sicut pastor bonus qui animam suam pro omnibus posuit ab omni nos erigit casu I pray thée therefore take in hande godly cogitations Sée that thou doe lyue studiously and holyly and thou mayst be partaker of the benediction Which beleue me doth not onely driue away death but all sicknesses and diseases also For when Christ dwelleth in vs he doth still the raging law of our members he doth confirme and strenthen godly deuotion he quencheth the parturbations of the mind Neither doth he cōsider the sinnes wherin we are but he maketh whole such as be sicke them sound that be broken And as a good shepherd that hath giuē his life for his shéepe he doth lift vs vp as oft as we fal If a man should aske Cyrill what it is that driueth awaye death and diseases he would say the benediction or sanctification that is Christ For as saint Paule sayth he is our sanctification 1. Cor. 1. And that sinner that foloweth Cyrilles counsell néedeth not to doubt of sanctification by Christ and consequently he néedeth not to feare to be partaker of that sacrament that was instituted to confirme and strengthen vs in the beliefe of our sanctification in him And if a man should aske him who it is that stylleth the raging law of our members c. He would aunswere that it is Christ But if a man should bid you make your reason perfite by putting to so many Verbes one Nominatiue case at the least for it is a verie vnperfite oration wherein there is no Nominatiue case as Grammarians say it is to be thought that you must say An oration without a Nameyng case that Sacramentum altaris the sacrament of the aultar is the Nominatiue case to al those verbes And then shal it appéere how Cyrill and you doe agrée how cleanly you haue conueyed your matter But nowe you conclude your treatise vpon this effect with a maruellous exclamation wondering first at the straunge effectes that this sacrament hath brought forth then at the lardge conscience of your late teachers destroyers of Christes flock you say which take away this armour which was none other thing but to leaue you naked and vnarmed against the Deuill that he might preuayle c. All this labour you might haue spared Watsō might haue spared this labour if you would haue opened your eyes to sée the true meaning of those places of scripture and auncient fathers that you cite for your purpose For they neyther teach that these effectes doe spring out of the sacrament of the aultar nor that your late teachers haue robbed you of any treasure For they did but take from you such toyes as your father the Pope had deuised for you Neyther did those teachers plant among you a bare Ceremonie for they restored agayne the Sacrament of the bodye and bloud of Christ which you and your sort had so disguised with your ceremonies that it could not be knowne for any sacrament of Christ They taught not that it is nothing else but bread and wine but they taught and we doe teach that it is sacramentall bread and wine and that being receyued by the member of Christ it is the misticall body of Christ and worketh in him as much as our sauiour Christ did ordeyne it to worke That is the certifying of his weake nature that euerlasting life is purchased for him by the death and bloud shedding of Christ And that he is vnseparably knit vnto Christ his head and vnto the rest of Gods chosen children And this is not the effect of bread and wine But of him that worketh by his sacraments as by instruments But nowe you haue one effect more and so an ende of this matter WATSON Diuision 27 Well one other effect I shall note vnto you and make an ende of that matter This effect is written in the next verse of the same Psalme Et calix tuus inebrians quám praeclarus est Psal 22. and thy Chalice or Cup that maketh vs dronke howe goodly and excellent is it There be two Cups one worldly of wine the other heauenlye of Christes bloud both make men dronken but after diuers sortes the one is sometimes the instrument of sinne the other at al times the instrument of grace for as much as
