by wicked men by Beasts and by Devils incarnate What necessity is there that it should be carried away by the Devil that it should be stoln burnt c. Can it be said that it is for the salvation of the soul of him that eats it But Reprobates as our Adversaries confess eat it too and the Faithful under the Old Testament did not eat it nor do the little children of Believers under the New and yet they are saved for all that Can it be said with Bellarmin and Perron that the host being eaten serves as an incorruptible seed for a glorious Resurrection But the Faithful of the Old Testament and the little children of Believers under the New will rise again gloriously though they never participated of the Eucharist And St. Paul tells us Rom. 8. that this seed of the resurrection of our Bodies is not Christs flesh but his Spirit in these words If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you he shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you 21. Lastly The holy Scripture is clear in this matter for Jesus Christ is asceuded into heaven Acts 1. And the heavens must contain him until the time of the restitution of all things Acts 3. and he himself saith I leave the World and go to the Father St. John 16. The poor ye have always with you but me ye have not always St. Matth. 26. To which may be added what Jesus Christ saith St. Matth. 24. viz. In the last days false Prophets will come that shall say Christ is here or there and that he is in the secret chambers or Cabinets which cannot be but by the doctrine of the Romish Church which puts Christs body in divers places and shuts it up in several Cabinets on their Altars and it is very remarkable that in the Greek it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is in the Cupboards 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 being properly a Cupboard to keep meat in CHAP. V. Against the adoration or worshiping of the Host 1. AGainst the adoration of the host I form three Propositions The first is this We are not obliged to adore or worship God every where or in all places where he is at least not with external adoration but we are only obliged to worship him in all places where he appears in his glorious Majesty The first part of this Proposition viz. That we are not obliged to worship God in all places where he is appears by the practice of all Christians For God being every where and consequently in Stones Trees Beasts Devils and all other Creatures there is no man so extravagant as to fall on his knees before a Tree an Ass or a Devil that he may worship God in them who is as really present in them as he is in heaven 2. The second part of this Proposition viz. that we are only obliged to worship God both with internal and external adoration in all places where he appears in his glorious Majesty is proved first by the commands which Jesus Christ gave his Apostles when they asked him how they should pray for he answers them thus When ye pray say Our Father which art in Heaven St. Matth. 6. St. Luke 11. Why doth he say which art in heaven and not which art on Earth or in the Sea or in the Air seeing God is equally in all these places but only because God appears in heaven in his glorious Majesty and there crowns all the blessed Spirits with his glory Secondly When God appeared to Moses in the burning bush which was not consumed he said to him Take thy shoes from off thy feet for the place where thou standest is holy ground Exod. 3. Why is this ground called holy and Moses commanded to approach it with reverence submission and adoration seeing any other ground is equally Gods creatures and that he is equally present every where but only because God did manifest somewhat of his power and glory in that place by causing the Bush to burn without being consumed Thirdly Joshua and the Israelites did prostrate themselves before the Ark of the Covenant Joshua 7. 6. because God appeared there in a peculiar and glorious manner for from the Mercy-seat which covered it he gave his oracles and made known his will Exod. 25. 22. Numb 7. Fourthly When the Priest celebrates Mass a little before the consecration he recommends the sursùm corda that is the lifting up of their hearts Why the lifting them up seeing God is equally both above and below but only because God appears above in heaven in his glorious majesty and consequently it is thither that we must direct our Vows our Prayers and our Worship 3. The second Proposition is this We are not obliged to adore Jesus Christ in the water of Baptism though he be really there in regard of all that is adorable in him The first part of this Proposition viz. That we are not obliged to worship Jesus Christ in the Water of Baptism is chiefly proved by the practice of all Christians for no man ever fell on his knees before the Water of Baptism and adored Jesus Christ in it at least not with external worship which is only here intended and doubtless the reason is because Jesus Christ discovers no beam of his glory there nor doth he appear in the Water of Baptism any more then in other waters so that as we are not obliged to worship God save only where he appears in his glorious Majesty as hath been proved so neither are we obliged to worship Jesus Christ but only where he discovers some beam of his glory which he doth not in the Water of Baptism 4. The second part of this Proposition viz. That Jesus Christ is really present in the Water of Baptism in respect of all that is to be adored in him is proved thus All that is of it self adorable in Jesus Christ is either his Godhead or his divine Person or his divine Attributes As for his Godhead seeing it is really every where it cannot be denied but that it is also in the Water of Baptism As for his Person seeing it is divine and eternal and infinite it is really every where and consequently in the Water of Baptism and as for his divine attributes seeing they are not really different from the Godhead or the person of Jesus Christ it necessarily follows that seeing the Godhead and Person of Jesus Christ are really in the Water of Baptism his divine Attributes must really be there likewise 5. The third Proposition is this We are not obliged to adore Jesus Christ in the host though he be really there in respect of all that is to be adored in him viz. in respect of his Godhead his divine Person and his divine Attributes yea though he were there invisibly in respect of his Manhood too The principal reason of this hath been toucht upon already viz. That as we are not obliged to worship God
