the meane time both before and after haue these wordes continually mingled amongst them Let vs not here thinke vppon any thing that is earthlie anie thing that is carnall all whatsoeuer is contained herein is full of mysteries This is a sacrifice of praise spirituall reasonable without bloode a heauenlie breade which is receyued by a firme and constant faith and by a mind purged from vncleannes a Christ which is distributed without being deuided into parts eaten without being chewed and which nourisheth without being wasted or consumed c that so wee may learne alwaies to keepe the reuerence due vnto the Sacramentes and notwithstanding not to confound them with the thing it selfe that wee may not thinke of anie proper chaunge that should be wrought in these signes but rather of the chaunge which this spirituall nourishment which ioyneth vs to Christ ought to worke and doth worke in vs. Let vs adde hereunto that it is most certaine that there was neuer any Seruice said at this time but there was also the administration of the Communion ioyned therewith and that all the Canon now receyued speaketh of nothing but of the people their being assembed and come to gether for a Communion Cassan in praefat ad Ord. Roman their offring communicating not mentioning anie such thing to bee done of the Priest insomuch as that the best learned and that before wee began to haue anie controuersies with them did openlie hold and dispute it that the Canon could not bee read neyther haue anie worke or operation in priuate Masses prouing the same by S. Gregorie Psalmes in the time of the distributing of the Sacraments Now all the while the Sacramentes were in distributing because it was not without the spending of much time there were many Psalms sung Those which we find to bee most vsuall are the 23. The Lord is my shepheard the 34. I will blesse the Lord at all times and especially this verse Taste and see that the Lord is good the 145. O Lord my God and my king I will praise thee the 103. My soule blesse the Lord S. Dionys in ● De Hierarch Cyril Catech. Liturg. S. Clement August lib. 22 Retract c. 22. c as may bee seene in S. Denys S. Cyrill S. Clement their Liturgies and others especiallie those of the Greekes seeing that at Rome they beganne at this time to deuide them into verses The place of S. Augustine is cleare and euident for the purpose speaking of Psalmes Let it be sayeth hee that they bee sung before the offring or else at such time as it is distributing to the people which hath beene offred And it must not bee forgotten that the Psalms quoted aboue are at this day for the most part the most ordinarie in the reformed Churches of this Realme in the time of the celebration of the Sacrament of the holie Supper After the distribution followed a Thankesgiuing Thankesgiuing S. August Epist 50. Dionis in Hier● 3. according to that which Saint Augustine sayeth Gratiarum actio omnia concludit Thankesgiuing in the conclusion and ending of al. And S. Denys The holie Communion endeth with a holie Thankesgiuing And Chrysostome After the hymne sung they went vp to the mountaine This word toucheth you who doe not abide and continue vnto the end of the last prayer for this song was this man his shot Our Lord beganne and ended with a Thankesgiuing that he might bee an example vnto vs for to doe the like Chrysost hom 23. in Matth. And namely in the Lithurgie that is called by Chrysostome his name there is for a Thankesgiuing the Song of Simeon as is vsed in the reformed Churches But the auncient custome was saieth hee in one place that the faithful after they had heard the doctrine offred their prayers and communicated at the Lordes Supper c. did not returne home to their owne houses by and by after that the Assemblie was dissolued but the richest caused their victualles to bee brought from their owne houses and calling the poore did feast them there in the Temple Loue-feastes Chrysost in 1. ad Corinth Opotret haereses esse Tertul. in Apolog August l. 20. c. 20. Siue frugibus siue carn●bus Concil Laodic c. 27.28 August ad Ianuar. Epist 119. In a knowne tongue And this was the thing which was called in the Primitiue Church by the name of Loue-feastes whereof wee reade in S. Iude These are spots in our loue-feastes In Tertullian Nostra caena c. Our Supper taketh his name of the thing it is called Agape that is loue whatsoeuer it cost yet this is our gaine that wee spend with godlines for the comfort and refreshment of the poore c. And S. Augustine Our loue-feastes feede the poore whether it be with bread or with flesh you say that the charitie of Christians is like to the Pagans their Sacrifices c. But for certaine abuses which were therein committed this custome ceaseth yea and there were expresse articles framed in certaine councels that those loue-feastes should not anie more bee made in the places appointed for prayer Well may wee see that in the time of S. Augustine the manner of making a Supper was continued and that vpon the day of the Lordes passion in the breaking vp wherof the guestes did communicate in the Sacrament together and this is yet continued in the Monasteries of S. Benet as shall be seene else where and they call it mandatum Let vs adde for the shutting vp of this speech that both the one and the other seruice aswell that whereat those were present which were cateehised as that whereat the faithfull were present was done in a language both well knowne and vnderstoode as namely to the Latines in Latine to the Graecians in Greeke to the Syrians in Syriacke c. and which is more in a loude voice the people not onelie answering but oftentimes singing with the Ministers of the Church S. Ambros in 1. ad Cor. c. 14 Whereupon S. Ambrose saith expounding that place of S. Paule Better are fiue wordes spoken in the church in a knowne tongue then ten thousand others c. That the intention of S. Paule was to reproue the Iewes which tooke pleasure for the commending of their own language to the vse of this Syriacke in their sermons and oblations that is in the celebrating of their diuine seruice the holie Supper directly against those which would maintaine that it is sufficient that sermons be vnderstoode and not the seruice which is said in the Church CHAP. VI. An aunswere vnto certaine obiections and what seruice it is which commeth neerest to that of the purest auncient times that of the Church of Rome as it is vsed at this day or that of the reformed Church NOw therefore we haue seene in part wherein the celebrating of the holy Supper consisted during all this time that is to say from the first Councell of Nice where wee
