Tables of the Church to perfect the Sacrifice He saith Gaudentius who descended In cap. 2. Exodi from heaven said the Bread which I will give shall be my Flesh who being Lord and Creator of all things a● he produceth Corn from the earth to make Bread so both he can and promised of Bread to make his Body And he who of Water made Wine can of Wine make his Bloud c. think not therefore that to be earthly which is heavenly Truth cannot lye c. St. Orat. magna Cate●hetica Gregory Nissen likewise biddeth us to consider how Christs Body received in many places ●nd by thousands together can wholly and intirely be communicated ●●●●ch one of them wherefore I do rightly believe Bread by Gods word to be transmuted or wholly changed into th● Body of Christ and not to remain both together in the Sacrament as Luther even Harmoni● in cap. 26. Matth. in Calvins opinion absurdly affirmed And indeed all the Authorities of ancient Fathers hitherto alledged by me do plainly prove a totall change of Bread into the body and of Wine into the bloud of our Saviour fitly called in the great Laterane counc●l Transubstantiation And that in the distinct Consecrations of our Saviours Body and Bloud at the Altar under the forms of Bread and Wine is celebrated his misterious Sacrifice according to the order of Melchisedech and foretold by Malachy the Prop●et is so plainly and frequently testified by Ancientest and Chiefest Fathers of Christs Church as when we cite the Testimonies even of such as lived Lib. de vera reformatione Ecclesiae with the Apostles themselves Calvin passeth on us this mild and modest censure Solemne est istis nebulonibus c. It is the custome of these knaves to rake up out of the ancient Fathers whatsoever hath been written erroniously and ●alsly by them when therefore they object Malachies foretelling a continuall Sacrifice c. We answer saith he that these Fathers also taught Chri●●s bodily presence in the Sacrament but so ridiculously as Reason and Truth inforce us to leave them Could a Devil in human● shape have more proudly or contemptuously censured St. Irenaeus St. Justin St. Cyprian St. Alhanasius St. Chrysostom St. Ambrose St. Hilary St. Augustine and many others chief lights of Christs Church in their time for learning and Sanctity highly renowned And elswhere I see saith he the Fathers Lib. 4. In●it cap. 28. Sect. 11. even the ancientest and chiefest amongst them to have wrested the memory of Christs sacrifice on the Crosse and to have acknowledged therein the face of a renewed oblation more than was agreeable to the institution thereof imitating so the Jewish manner of sacrificing more than Christ ordained or the Gospel permitted as if he alone knew better than all ancient Doctors before him what Christ ordained in his last Supp●r even such as had known the Apostles themselves or conversed with some of their chiefest Disciples in his Commentary also on St. Pauls Ep. to cap. 6. v. 9. the Hebrews he hath these words I cannot but wonder to see the ancient Fathers so preoccupated with the opinion of Christs corporall Presence in the Sacrament but a● one errour draweth on another when they had forged a sacrifice in the Lords Supper and adulterated thereby the sam● they laboured to gather colour●ble Arguments whereby they might seem to maintain their errour So as mentioning no further his impudent and unchristian boldnesse in accusing so many glorious Saints now raigning with Christ in Heaven of Judaisme Idolatry and Superstition practised by themselves and taught to others I will accept here what he so plainly confesseth that all the ancientest and chiefest Fathers of Christs Church held the reall presence of our Saviour in the Eucharist and acknowledged a true sacrifice in the daily Consecration thereof celebrated still by us after their example and our Saviours institution mentioned also by St. Paul blessing Bread and 1 Cor. 10. Wine and distributing them as the Body and Bloud of our Lord according to S. Irenaeus his words our Lord saying of Bread this is my Body and Lib. 4. c. 32. confessing the Challice which he consecrated to be his bloud taught us a new oblation of the new Testament which the Church having received it from the Apostles offereth to God throughout the whole world as Malachy had foretold c. And not to speak of those ancient Li●urgies extant in Greek and Latine under divers Apostles names and proved to have been truly theirs by many grave and learned Authors one●y because Protestants are not pleased for such to accept them I will boldly here affirm that no point or practice of faith can be more faithfully made known and testified by all manners unto us and even in Protestant Authors themselves more plainly confessed than that this great and onely sacrifice of Christians hath still in all ages since Christ even untill this very time both in our Western and those Eastern Churches of Greece Syria Armenia E●ypt and India it self been celebrated so as yearly out of those and other parts of the world Christians come with their Priests unto Jerusalem many thousands of them together having no other publick service of God but the celebration of this sacrifice used amongst them never but in their first Apostolicall Conversions taught unto them and since still retained by them And albeit Nestorisme besides other ancient and condemned heresies have crept in lamentably amongst them yet in a Catholick belief of ●ur Saviours presence in the Sacrament and sacrifice of the Masse ordained by him there is no disagreement at all between them and this concord of many Nations remote from each other and void of all commerce between themselves for many ages together Lib. de Pr●script according to Tertullians rule non error sed traditio est is no error but tradition still continued amongst them The second Part. FOr proof of the Masse also I could here if Calvins former confession that the ancientest and chiefest Fathers acknowledged and celebrated the same saved me not that labour heap up many pregnant testimonies out of their authenticall works truly collected that being most true which S. Epiphanius affirmed that all the Apostles severally prescribed the order of celebrating this sacrifice And St. Isidorus lib. 2. Officiorum telleth us that the Masse used in his time in these Western parts of the World was according to St. Peters Ordination which mysterious and unbloudy sacrifice albeit in the Host it self and chief Offerer thereof it be all one with the sacrifice of the Crosse yet is it far different in the manner and ceremonies thereof for whereas in that his body and bloud were painfully parted and his death thereby caused in this they are onely by distinct consecrations of them mysteriously severved So as to distinguish these sacrifices we may fitly call that other the sacrifice of our redemption consummated indeed fully by it and this
