A05459	Against the apple of the left eye of antichrist, or the masse book of lurking darknesse making way for the apple of the right eye of antichrist, the compleat masse book of palpable darknesse : this apple of the left eye, commonly called, the liturgie, or service book, is in great use both among the halting papists, and compleat papists, and the things written heere are also against the compleat masse book.

of civile adoration are more tollerable ●f greater expressions of reverence humility be given unto God This reason is good Kings and Monarchs are of greater dignity and place then other men therefore they should have more civile honour This reas●n is also good for Gods honour who is of greater digni●y then all creatures And albeith n●ne can expresse the greatnesse of the inward and outward honour that is due unto God shall he therefore not differ in outward adoration above all others The question 29. speaketh of bowing towards he earth It includes in it kneel●ng which is a k●nde of bowing Then God is discerned from all creatures by kneel●ng albeit men kneele unto kings Monarchs c. But neither religiously nor civily should men keele unto the Sacrament for it is neither God nor a fellow citizen with men If is were lawful to adore any creature religiously the poorest Christian is more worthie both of religious and civile adoration then any sacrament 1. Because the sacrament is ordeined for Christians but not Christians for the Sacrament 2. Christians are members of Christ so are no Sacraments 3. Christ died for them but for no Sacrament 4. They are livelie temples of the Holy Ghost so are no Sacraments Answeres to the censures of the question 35. SOme say that the writer defendeth that Christ hath two person because he speaketh of a twofold subsistence to be in his natures Ans Alstedii metaphysicae pars 1. cap. 3. Exist●●●●est nobilior vel ignobilior nobilior dicitur subsistentia à quares denominatur subsistens Estque vel suppositum vel persona Suppositum est quodlibet individuum per se subsistens persona est subsistens intelligens Existentia ignobilior dicitur inexistentia Regula 7. Suppositum latiùs patet quàm persona Suppositum est res per se subsistens id est non existens in alio per modum inbaesionis Persona insuper est aliquod intelligens Sic lapis in lapicidina aicitur supppositum non persona Paulus est suppositum persona Subsistere hic non accipitur late pro eo quod habet verum esse non apparens neque pro eo quod alicui substat sed strictè pro eo quod est non inesse in subjecto per modum inhaesionis neque inesse in toto per modum partis Schola facit duplex subsistere viz. 1. Negativum quod non est in alio ut accidens in Subjecto quo sensit humana Christi natura dicitur subsistere in verbo seu persona divina 2. Positivum quod ita per se existit ut ab alio non pendeat hoc modo non subsistit nisi persona seu hypostasis These show that the schoolemen admited a twofold subsistence in the person of Christ The writer of this book hath this division for in the person of Christ his humane nature hath a negative his Divine nature a positive subsistence for his humane nature subsisteth not in his person as accidents inherent in a subject but so it dependeth upon his person that from his first conception he was assumed into the personall union If he had ever any being without this union he had beene a person by himself Because he hath understanding But his manhead had never such a being and so it was never a person His Divinitie had never such dependence but before this union he was the second person of the Trinitie without all beginning This union was signified by binding the sacrifice to the hornes of the altar Christ GOD and man is the Priest his Divinitie the altar his humanitie the sacrifice the personall union is the binding of the sacrifice to the altar When the sacrifice was killed and brunt the ashes fell down through the grate of the altar and remained still within it when Christ was killed his dead body in the grave and His Soule in paradise remained still united unto the altar of his Divinitie Death seperated his soule from his body but could not break the personall union By vertue of this union he did cast out devils by the finger of GOD healed the sick raised the dead forgave sinnes he wrought miracles and prophesied Because of this union he said Before Abraham was I am He said to his Apostles ●eho I am with you into the end of the world Because of this union Joh. said chap. 1. The word was 〈◊〉 plesh Thomas said Joh 20. My Lord and my God This union is called hypostaticall that is the union of subsistence because his humane nature did never subsist nor have being without it That the writter used not the word subsistence in the strict sence for a person but in the larger sence for a true being without accidentall inhesion his own words immediatly preceeding do prove it For he testified five times that Christ● two natures were united into one person viz. in the 〈◊〉 line of page 65. and in the 13. 17. 18. and 〈…〉 of the page 66. The like was never done by here●●●● would they so often so manifestly contradict themselves in the same page a Kingdome divided against it self can not stand no more can an heresie stand against such contradiction If some witnesses had testified against the writter and as many for him a charitable judge should incline to the best censure rather absolving then condemning him much more when five witnesses do clearely testifie for him proclameing his innocency and one only is brought against him which taken in the right sence is also for him And the manner of the speech importeth a personall union for he saith not They have but he hath two subsistances This word He cannot be meant of the GOD head alone nor of the manhead alone for none of them alone hath two natures much lesse two persones Then it is meaned of one who hath the two natures mentioned in the division viz. the person of Christ Then albeit the word hypostasis or subsistentia 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by an excellency is oftimes taken for a person because it is the more noble subsistence it followeth not therefore that every subsistence shall be called a person Because Rome by an excellency is called urbs a town Ovid.
