Earthe Earth bicause Fleashe is of Earth and of the Fleashe of Marie he tooke Fleash And bicause he walked here in Fleashe and that very Fleashe he gaue vs to eate to Saluation and noman eateth that Fleash except firste he adore it it is founde out how such a footestoole of our Lorde may be adored and howe we not onely sinne not by adoringe but sinne by not adoringe Doth not the Fleashe quicken and geue life Our Lorde himselfe saide when he spake of the commendation it selfe of that Earthe It is the spirite that quickeneth but the Fleashe profiteth nothinge Therfore when thou bowest thee selfe and fallest downe to euery such Earthe beholde it not as Earth but that holy One whose footestoole it is that thou doest adore for bicause of him thou doest adore And therefore here he added Adore ye his footestoole bicause it is Holy VVho is Holy He for whose loue thou adorest his footestoole And when thou adorest him remaine not by cogitation in Fleashe that thou be not quickened of the Spirite For the Spirite saithe he quickeneth and the Fleashe profiteth nothinge And then when our Lorde commended this vnto vs he had spoken of his Fleashe and had saide Excepte a man eate my Fleashe he shal not haue in him life Euerlastinge The B. of Sarisburie S. Ambrose and S. Augustine as thei agrée togeather for the exposition of the Psalme so touchinge the mater it selfe neither doo they any wise disagree from vs nor any wise agrée with M. Hardinge They teache vs humbly to Adoure Christes Fleashe but they teache vs not to Adoure the Sacrament of Christes Fleashe Thus M. Hardinge hath taken a néedeles labour to prooue a mater that is already prooued but the thinge that he should haue prooued he toucheth not This is to bolde abusinge of the simple Reader to beare him in hande that these godly Fathers teache vs to Adoure the Sacrament that spake not one woorde of Adouringe the Sacrament But M. Hardinge wil saie VVe must Adoure the Fleashe of Christe We graunt we beléeue it it is our Faithe we teache the people as the olde learned Fathers did that noman eateth that Fleashe but first he Adoureth it and that he deadly offendeth God and is wicked and gilty of the Lordes Bodie that Adoureth it not But as we Eate it so we Adoure it We eate it sittinge in Heauen at the Right hande of God Thither we lifte vp our hartes and there we Adoure it S. Ambrose saithe Stephanus in terris positus Christum tangit in Coelo Steuen standinge in the Earth toucheth Christe beinge in Heauen Againe he saithe Non Corporali tactu Christum sed Fide tangimus We touche Christe by Faithe and not by Corporal touching And as we touche Christe so we sée him that is with the Spiritual eies of our Faithe and not otherwise So S. Ambrose saithe in the place before alleged Stephanus intra Coelos Dominum cernit absentem Steuen seeth Christe beinge absente within the Heauens And for proufe hereof that al that Glorious ●●ght was meere Spiritual and not offered to the Corporal eie of the Bodie S. Augustine saith that S. Steuen stoode then vnder a roofe before the Iudges and sawe the Heauens open when with his Bodily eies he was not hable to looke vp and to see the Heauens There wee sée Christes Bodie there we Approache vnto it there wee touche it there we Taste it there we eate it there we Adoure it And doothe M. Hardinge thinke that the Religion of Christe is so Grosse and so sensible that wee cannot Eate or Adoure his Bodie onlesse it lye Corporally Present before our eies Uerily S. Augustine saithe Si Resurrexistis cum Christo dicit Fidelibus dicit Corpus Sanguinem Domini accipientibus Si Resurrexistis cum Christo que sursum sūt sapite vbi Christus est in Dextra Dei sedēs Quae sursum sunt quaerite non quae super Terram If ye be rysen agayne with Christe S. Paule saithe vnto the faitheful and vnto them that receiue the Bodie ●nd Bloude of Christe If ye be risen againe with Christe sauer the thinges that be aboue where Christe is sittinge at the right hande of God Seeke the thinges that be aboue and not the thinges that be vpon the Earthe And in this very place by M. Hardinge alleged he saithe Spiritualiter intelligite quod locutus sum Non hoc Corpus quod videtis manducaturi estis Vnderstande you Spiritually that I haue saide vnto you You shal not Eate with your bodily Mouthes this Bodie of mine that ye see Thus S. Augustine in the same place expoundeth and openeth his owne meaninge Doubtlesse as the wicked maye dishonour Christe so maye the Godly honour him But the wicked as S. Paule saith doo Crucifie the Sonne of God beinge in Heauen and Christe beinge in Heauen saithe vnto Paule beinge in the Earthe benethe Saule Saule Why doost thou persecute me Therefore the Godly beinge in Earthe may likewise Adoure and Honour Christe beinge in Heauen But they wil replie S. Ambrose saithe We doo Adoure Christes Fleashe in the Mysteries Hereof groweth their whole errour For S. Ambrose saithe not We doo Adoure the Mysteries or the Fleashe of Christe Really Present or Materially Conteined in the Mysteries as it is supposed by M. Hardinge Onely he saithe We Adoure Christes Fleashe in the Mysteries that is to saye In the Ministration of the Mysteries And doubtelesse it is our dutie to Adoure the Bodie of Christe in the Woorde of God in the Sacrament of Baptisme in the Mysteries of Christes Bodie and Bloude and where so euer we sée any steppe or token of it but specially in the Holy Mysteries for that there is liuely laide foorthe before vs the whole storie of Christes Conuersation in the Fleash But this Adoration as it is saide before neither is directed to the Sacramentes nor requireth any Corporal or Real Presence So S. Hierome saithe Paula Adoured Christe in the Stalle And That he him selfe Adoured Christe in the Graue And S. Chrysostome teacheth vs To Adoure Christes Bodie in the Sacrament of Baptisme Yet neither was Christes Bodie then Really Present in the Stalle or Graue nor is it now present in the Water of Baptisme Thus S. Ambrose saithe Wee Adoure the Fleashe of Christe in the Mysteries M. Hardinge The .23 Diuision Againe S. Augustine sheweth the maner and custome of his time touchinge the adoration of Christe in the Sacrament writinge thus ad Honora●um vpon the verse of the .21 Psalme Edent pauperes saturabuntur that is the poore shal eate and be filled and vpon that other Manducauerunt adorauerunt omnes diuites terrae al the ritche of the earth haue eaten and adored It is not without cause saith he that the riche and the poore be so distincted that of the poore it was saide before the poore shal eate and be filled and here of
