any change to be made by Consecration either in the substance for me or species nor Consubstantiation for he saith not that in or with those mysticall signes is that which is beleeued and adored but that the signes themselues ar● vnderstood to bee that which is beleeued and adored id est to be that in a Myste●ie ●or else how said our Lord This is my body How Paul The rocke was Christ And yet Theodoret plainely sheweth that these not Elements but signes i. e. Sacraments of Bread and Wine sanctified by the will of Christ to that vse are beleeued and adored not meaning that the adoration should at all rest in the visible things in which no reall change was made but was referred to what they are in their signification and vse the body and blood of Christ inseparably knit to the person of the Sonne of God or Deitie in that Person 〈◊〉 adversus ●●●●um ●ialecticon ●●thar Thus was God worshipped in the Bush as Lyra saith and in the Arke as that learned man forenamed and it appeareth Psal 95.6 to bee so Thus Dauids dauncing before the Arke was before the Lord 2. Sam. 6. ●●g de Cate●hisan●●s ru●ibus cap. 3. The signes saith Augustine are visible things but invisble things are adored in them He saith that invisible things which are in them are adored not as if hee had once dreamed of Christs being ibi there contained in or vnder the species for he often professeth that Christs naturall body where it is is visible and occupieth a place or else could not be a body and is now and shall be onely in heaven till he come to Iudgement but that the Adoration is intended not at all to the Signes themselues as they are visible things but to Christ hims●lfe which is not seene who is in the Signes onely ut signatum in signe by vertue of a Sacramentall Relation not by any Locall inexsistence The same Theodoret in Dialog 3. reasoneth from the Adoration done outwardly to the Sacrament though in Relation to Christ thereby to proue that the flesh of Christ it selfe being the flesh of the Sonne of God is to bee Adored saying How is the Architype it selfe base or contemptible whose type is to be Adored and reuerenced Where first it is manifest that hee esteemeth and calleth the Sacrament but a type of the body and blood of Christ which is the Archtype and therefore fauoureth not any reall Carnall presence but excludeth that And yet seeing from the Adoration done to the type in reference to Christ the Archtype hee so disputeth hee plainely sheweth that it was vsuall and knowne to all men then that such externall Adoration or veneration was performed in the celebration of the mysteries vnto them as types to bee passed ouer as Iewell speaketh to the Archtype and not to rest in them And hee that will interpret this Adoration to haue beene onely internall or mentall must conclude that to the very person of Christ no externall Adoration must bee giuen For how else will Theodorets Argument stand good That this was not alone in some places Anno 400. or in the Easterne Churches but in many or all and in the West also take we the Testimonies of Saint Ambrose and S. Augustine They both led with the Latine Translation Psal 94 6. Adorate scabellum eius in stead of ad scabellum reading worship his foot-stoole for worship at his foot-state are troubled to thinke how that speech could bee right when it was not lawfull to Adore any creature And thinke you these mea●t to Adore the consecrated Elements as if they were no creatures verely no for Ambrose saith that they remaine the same that they were and yet are turned to another thing that is in vse and mysterie an other thing but in their substance still the same creatures Vpon this Ambrose first and Aug. after him and many others after them enquire what that same foot-stoole in the Psalme may bee which men must Adore They find in Isay 61. That the earth is called the Lords foot-stoole Well then men must worship the earth But this they also abhorre lest they should offend him that is Lord of heauen and earth They then remember that Christs humane body was earth of the earth and that the same as taken into the vnity of the person of the Sonne of God was to be Adored for the Deities sake to which it is inseperably vnited Here is the ground But then how shall wee Adore that flesh which is not present with vs Hence Augustine And because he hath walked in that flesh and hath giuen vs that flesh to bee eaten vnto Saluation and no man eateth that flesh vnlesse he hath first adored it It is found how such a foot-stoole of the Lord is adored and we not only shall not sinne in Adoring it but shall sinne in not Adoring But doth the flesh quicken or giue life Our Lord himselfe hath told commending to vs the same earth It is the spirit that quickeneth but the flesh profiteth nothing And Ideo ad terram quamlibet cum tu inclinas prosternis non quasi terram intuearis therefore when thou bowest or prostratest thy selfe to any earth thou oughtest to behold it not as earth but looke at that Holy one whose foot-stoole that is which thou dost adore for thou adorest for his sake wherefore hee hath added here Quia sanctum est c. In this large passage of Saint Augustine it is manifest that his devise is to forefend all Adoration of any meere creature and to acknowledge the humanity of Christ only though a creature to bee capable of diuine Adoration in respect of the Deity to which it is personally vnited Therefore Augustine was no Papist nor will his Testimony at all serue their turne which worship any thing that is not also God as the Man Christ is Beza therfore saith that in Aug. time they did receiue Adorantes hee meanes kneeling adversus H●s●us●ū p. 311 But withall the Text of August doth manifestly shew that Christ God and Man was adored of euery Communicant before hee receiued the Sacramentall flesh of Christ in the Eucharist And that this was in Augustines iudgement so farre from being a sinne that it was a sinne not to doe it But to this is b Rep●y to Bishop Morrow part 2. cap. 22. to the testimonies of Aug. and Chrysost Beza saith it ought to bee receiued both with internall and externall Adoration Quest Resp lib. Quest 243. answered that euery true Communicant must adore Christ before he partake him in the Sacraments but that is internally by faith and loue c. This is true I confesse but is so far from excluding the outward expression by some bodily signe of Godly reuerence that it rather doth require it that God may be worshipped in body and soule together But this must not bee pleaded to void the Testimony of Aug. alleadged to proue externall Adoration before
