related that the Apostles were ministing to our lord fasting Now to minister to our lord can not consist either in prayer onely or in singing uf psalmes which needed no Kynde of ministration more then opening their mouthes hartes wher as yet the worde ministere doth necessarily include some externall ryte more thē that as the Greke worde 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 doth clearely denote signifie And therfore Erasmus a great fauorit of the Nouellists doubted not plainely to translate for the wordes ministantibus Domino sacrificeing to God To the authoritie of scriptures I will here adde such testimonies of ancient Fathers as I haue not yet cited such as being within the compasse of the fiue priuatiue ages clearly testifie the Eucharist to be a sacrifice S. Cyprian saith thus who is more Preist Dei summi of the cheefe God th● our Lord Iesus Christ Lib 2. ep 3. who offered sacrifice to God the Father offered that same which Melchisedech offered to wit bread wine that is his bodie bloud Which wordes ar so plaine that they forced the Centurists to confesse of this Father That he affirmed the Preist to performe the office of Christ offer sacrifice to God the Father Now if according to S. Cyprian the Preist performes the office of Christ offers sacrifice as the Centurians confesse of S. Centur. 3. col 83. Cyprian doubtlesse it is no other but the Eucharist which he offereth Vice Christi fungi Magdeburg Centur. 3. or 4. The glorious martyr S. Hypotelicus in his oratiō of Antichrist introduceth Christ saying to the Prests of he newe Testament in the day of Iudgement come you Rashops Preist who dayly immolatedor facrificed my pretions bodie bloud in the world S. Ambrose vpon the psalme we did se saith he the Paince of Preists coming vnto vs. Wi did se him heare him offering for vs his bloud Let vs Preists followe him that we may offer sacrifice vnto him for altho' we be infirme or weake in merit yet ar we honorable in sacrifice for altho' Christ doth not at the leaste as they conceiue now seeme to offer yet he is offered on earth when Christs boilie is offered Yea he is manifested to offer in vs whose wordedoth sanctifie the sacrifice which is offered S. Gregorie nyssene in his first oration vpon the Resurrection hath these memorable wordes For inthat ineffable secret to men inuisible manner of sacrifice by his diuine ordinance he doth prcoccupate the violent brunt offers him selfe for vs being both victim oblation both Preist lambe of God When did this happen when he exhibited his bodie to be eaten his bloud to be drunken by his familiar freindes S. Chrysostome in his 24. Hom. 2. in postertorem Epist ad Tim. Circa fine homilie vpon the first to the Corinthians speaking of Christ saith that he commaunded himselfe to be offered iusteed of brute beastes And in another place he speaketh thus The sacred oblation it selfe whether Peter or Paul or of what merit soeuer the Preist is who offers it is the same which Christ himselfe gaue to his disciples which now also Preists d●e make this hath nothing lesse them that Why so because men doe not sacrifice this but Christ who had consecrated it before S. Augustin in diuers places of his workes but most clearely in his second sermon vpon the psalme 33. of our sauior saith thus in plaine termes He Christ instituted a sacrifice of his bodie bloud according to the order of Melchisadech Nostrum sacrificium non solum Euangelicis sed etiam Propheticis libris demonstratū est And conformable to this the same S. Augustin in his 49. epistle affirmes the sacrifice of vs Catholike Christians to be demonstrated not onely by the Euangelicall but also by the Propheticall bookes Also in his 20. chapter of his 17. bookes of the Citie of God he hath most expresse wordes to the same purpose which because they are somat large otherwise well knowne I omit them to be viewed by the reader if he please S. Leo the great also one of the writers of the fift age in his seuenth sermon of the Passion teaches that the sacrifices of the old lawe yealded or gaue place to the sacrifice of the Eucharist as the shadow to the bodie His wordes at these Wherfore to the end that the shadowes should yeald to the bodie images to the presence of veritie or truth the ancient obseruance is taken a way with a newe sacrament one hoaste is changed in to an other bloud doth exclude bloud the legall sestinitie while it is changed is fulfilled And some lines after he addes but Iesus knowing certainely his counsell being vndaunted in the ordinance of has Father did consūmate the old Testament instituted the newe Pasque for his disciples being set to eate the mysticall supper when in the Courte of Carphas it was consulted how Christ should be put to death he ordaiding the sacrament of his bodie bloud did teach in what manner an hoaste was to be offered to God Epist 81 Ad Discorum And the same Father in an other place ordaining that more Masses then one be celebrated in one the same Church when one doth not serue by reason of the multitude of the pleople saith thus Our will is that when the solemnitie of afeast hath drawne such a multitude of faithfull persons together as the Church can not receiue let then the oblation of the sacrifice be vndoubtedly reiterated or repeated since it is a thing full of pietie reason that so often as the Church is filled with newe people so often an other following sacrifice be offered For it must needs be that some parte of the people be depriued of their deuotiō if the custome of celebrating one onely Masse obserued they onely that come first may offer the sacrifice Thus this ancient graue Father in whose wordes oblation sacrifice of the Masse ar three seuerall tymes repeated Isichius or Hesichius who liued aboute the same tyme hath these wordes touching the same matter Lib. 2. in Leuit. c. 8. Our lord being at supper with his disciples first with the figuratiue lambe afterwardes offered his owne sacrifice Lib. 2. in Exod c. 6. Rupert in like manner speaketh of the same sacrifice saying Our lord being in the agome of his Passion first immolated or sacrificed him selfe to God the Father with his owne proper bandes taking bread c. Now to cōclude since the testimonies of these Fathers doctors of the primatiue Church ar both most ancient as being all included in the circle of the first fiue hundreth yeares next succeeding to the time of Christ his Apostles Et quidem ipsā actionē canae Dominica quidem ipsum corpus sanguīno in cana à veteribu● vocari sa●risicium o blationem hostiam victimam c.
