communicating For first the Text of the Psalme speaketh of bodily worship and therefore must bodily worship bee in Augustines eye when hee would shew to what or rather whom that worship which the Psalme requireth may bee tendred Secondly when hee saith Et ad terram quamlibet te inclinas prosternas to whatsoeuer earth i.e. flesh of Christ thou bowest and prostratest thy selfe looke not on it as earth i.e. as flesh but looke at that holy one whose foot-stoole it is that thou dost adore i.e. Looke to the God-head of Christ whose flesh thou dost Adore in the mysteries It cannot therefore bee denied with a good conscience that Augustine speaketh of outward Adoration performed by the bowing or prostrating of the body before the mysteries not to them determinatiuely but in Relation to Christ himselfe and that for his Deities sake Ambr. de S. sancto lib. 3. c. 12. Which is also the same that Ambrose speaketh of the flesh of Christ saying which we adore in those mysteries referring the Adoration not to the mysteries or signes but to Christ which is represented to vs and Sacramentally exhibited by them One thing more I would haue to bee marked in Augustines words that hee reckoneth Inclination of the body as well as Prostration on the knee to bee externall Adoration as all men vse to doe contrary to the new learning of Altare Damascenum which will haue kneeling a proper gesture of Adoration not other bowings such as wee vse in signe of reuerence to men contrary to Scripture and Common-sense And this of Augustine agreeth with Chrysostome Chrysost Hom. 3. de incomprehensibili natura Dei who speaking of the adoration of Christ in the mysteries saith that therefore the Deacon cryeth not inclinate capita bow your heads which in the Leitourgy bearing his name wee find inclinate capita Deo bow your heads vnto God after the consecration not to God as there contained but represented To the Testimony of Augustine I adde this that the Christians in his time were taxed by the Heathens for worshipping Ceres and Bacchus From whence is manifest that something was then done which gaue them colour of that calumniation For the times were not now with Christians as formerly when the Heathens durst feigne any thing against Christ as whom the Imperiall power did persecute And to put the matter out of daunger Augustine sheweth that it was their manner or Rite of receiuing the bread and wine of the Lords Supper Aug. contra Faustum Mazichaeum lib. 20. cap. 13. A Cerere Libero dijs Paganorum longe absumus quamuis panis calicis Sacramentum nostro ritu amplectamur it a patres nostri longe fuerunt a Saturniacis catenis quamuis pro tempore prophetiae Sabbathi vacationem obsernauerunt Wee differ wide from Ceres and Bacchus those Pagan Idols although wee imbrace that Rite in receiuing the Sacrament of the Bread and Cup. So our Ancestors were farre from the chaines of the Saturnian heresie although for the time of prophecie they obserued the rest of the Sabbath whereby it is plaine that like as the Iewes obseruation of their Sabbath called Saturnes day was the occasion that moued the Gentiles yea and Manichees to say that the Iewes worshipped Saturne So the Ritus the manner or fashion of the Christians receiuing the Sacrament of Bread and Wine occasioned the malicious Gentiles to say that they adored Ceres and Bacchus as their owne Gods Fulkes Answer to the Rhemists on 1 Cor. 11. It is true I confesse which Doctor Fulke saith that the Pagans did neuer worship Bread and Wine and it is as true that they did not challenge the Christians for worshipping Bread and Wine for the very * Cicero de natura Deorum 〈◊〉 such a 〈◊〉 as to be●●e●e that very thing which he eateth to be God Heathens counted it a madnesse in any man to worship that as God which hee did eat This madnesse came into the world with Transubstantiation Wherefore the Pagans did conceiue the Adoration vsed in receiuing the Bread and Wine of the Lords Supper to bee intended and done to Ceres and Bacchus their owne imaginary Gods Gods as they thought of Bread and Wine like as they tooke the obseruation of Saturne-day the Iewes Sabbath to bee held in honour of Saturne their Idoll as saith Augustine the Manichees also did And therefore this is a pregnant euidence not for the Papists that the Sacrament was it selfe adored as being made a God but onely for this that they did then Panis vini Sacramenta suo ritu amplecti receiue the Sacrament in that fashion and rite that the Gentiles used which Ritus was externall Adoration referring it vnto Christ by them 〈◊〉 Damasc The Altare Damascenum would not haue vs thinke that the Heathens had any more colour of occasion then onely a solemne reuerent vsage of Bread and Wine 〈◊〉 But this is but a shift when Augustine himselfe hath told vs that no man did communicate but hee first adored And wee haue out of his words learned how I will adde one Testimony more out of the Mystagogick catechisme of Cyrill either of Ierusalem in whose name it commonly goeth who liued An. 370. or Iohn of Ierusalem vnder whose name Master Robert Cooke saith Cooke in Censura Du' plessis response a Leuesque de Euroux p. 422. vid Causab●a it was marted c. and whole that learned Duplessis taketh it rather to bee as I for my parte doe not who liued neere An. 600.

This Author after he hath shewed in what manner the Bread should bee taken saith Then come to the Cupp of the blood not stretching out thy hand Sed pronus in modum Adorationis venerationis decens but bowing downe and after the manner of Adoration or veneration saying Amen Where it cannot bee denied that some prayer was vsed at the deliuery to which the Communicant said Amen which wee find currantly to haue beene in vse long before viz. An. 251. namely Ann. 251. when Nouatianus the intruding Bishop of Rome in administring the Sacrament to the people a Euseb Hist lib. 5. cap. 42. tooke euery mans hand betwixt his owne adjuring him that hee should not returne to Cornelius the Bp. by right then of Rome and suffered no man to taste of the mysteries till in stead of that he should haue said Amen hee said I will not returne to Cornelius Secondly we marke in Cyrill that the Cup was receiued by each Communicant with Adoration CAP. 24.
