Vt frigida ad Eucharistiam accessio periculosa est it a nulla mysticae illius Coenae participatio pestis est interitus ipsa namque mensa anima nostrae vis est nerui mentis fiduciae vinculum spes salus lux vita nostra As the cold comming to the Eucharist is dangerous so no participation of this mysticall Supper is a plague and death it selfe for this Table is the strength and force of our soule the sinewes of the mind the band of confidence our hope our health our light and our life In Ioan. homil 45. Againe Hic mysticus sanguis Demones procul pellit angelos angelorum Dominum ad nos allicit Demones enim cum Dominicum sanguinem in nobis vident in fugam vertuntur angeli autem concurrunt his sanguis effusus vniuersum abluit orbem terrarum This mysticall blood driueth the deuils afarre of draweth the Angels and the Lord of Angels to vs for the deuils when they see the Lords blood in vs they are turned to flight and the Angels come vnto vs this Blood being powred out doeth wash the whole earth And againe In Psal 22. Qui veniunt ad mensam potentis considerantes ea quae apponuntur eis accipere cum timore tremore tribulationes fiunt consolationes auferuntur ea quae sunt carnis infunduntur ea quae sunt spiritus ex mensa praeparat a proficiunt contra eos quitribulant eos To them that come to the Table of the mightie considering to receiue those things that are set before them with feare and trembling feare and trembling is the gesture of Communicants with S. Chrysostome not familiaritie and equalitie of heires that boast of the Prerogatiues of a Table to them tribulations are consolations those things that are of the flesh are taken a-away and those things that are of the spirit are powred in and by this prepared Table they profit or preuaile against them that trouble them This made him say Ad Popul Antioch homil 61. Tanquam Leones ignem spirantes ab illa mensa recedimus facti Diabolo terribiles As Lions that breath fire we depart from this Table made terrible to the diuel c. And after Parentes quidem alijs sepè filios tradunt alendos ego autem inquit non ita sed carnibus meis alo meipsum vobis appono vos omnes generosos esse volens bonas vobis praetendens de futuris exspectationes Parents often deliuer their children to others to be nourished or brought vp but I doe not so saith the Lord but with mine owne flesh I nourish them and set my selfe before them willing to haue them all noble and pretending good expectations to them of future things This made S. Cyprian to say Epist 54. Non infirmis sed fortibus pax necessaria est nec morientibus sed viuentibus communicatio â nobis danda est vt quos excitamus hortamur ad praelium non inermes nudos relinquamus sed protectione sanguinis corporis Christi muniamus c. Peace is necessary not onely to the weake but to the strong the Communion is giuen by vs not to the dead but to the liuing that wee may not leaue them vnarmed whom wee excite and exhort to the battell but arme them with the protection of the Blood and Body of Christ And whereas the Eucharist is ordained for this end that it may hee a defence to the receiuers Let vs arme them with the muniment of the Lords saturitie whom wee desire to be safe against the aduersary For how doe we teach or prouoke them to shed their blood in the confession of Christs name if we deny to them going to fight the Blood of Christ Giue them the Cup of Christ that are to drinke the cup of Martyrdome Serm. de Bapt. in Coena Dom.
