sacerdote) The consumption or manducation which is done of the Priest is an essentiall part of this Sa∣crifice; (saith the same Author;) For in the whole action of the Masse, there is (saith hee) no other reall destruction but this:
Suppose we then the true humane flesh, bloud, and bone of Christ, God and man, really and corpo∣rally made such by this Transsub∣stantiation, Whether is more horri∣ble to crucifie, or to eat it?
By this rule it is the Priests teeth, and not his tongue, that makes Christs bodie a sacrifice:
By this rule it shall be (hostia) an host, when it is not a Sacrifice; and a reserued host is no Sacrifice, how∣soeuer consecrated. And what if a mouse, or other vermin, should eat the Host (it is a case put by them∣selues) who then sacrificeth? To stop all mouthes; Laicks eat as well as the Priest, there is no difference in their manducation, but Laicks sacri∣fice not; And (as Salmeron vrges)

the Scripture distinguisheth betwixt the Sacrifice and the participation of it; Are not they which eat of the Sacrifices, partakers of the Al∣tar? And in the verie Canon of the Masse, Vt quot quot, &c. the prayer is, that all wee which in the partici∣pation of the Altar haue taken the sacred bodie and bloud of thy Son, &c. Wherein it is plaine, saith hee, that there is a distinction betwixt the Host, and the eating of the Host.
Lastly, sacrificing is an act done to God; if then eating bee sacrifi∣cing, The Priest eats his God to his God; Quorum Deus venter. Whiles they in vaine studie to reconcile this new-made Sacrifice of Christ alrea∣dy in heauen, with (Iube haec perfer∣ri) Command these to be carried by the hands of thine holy Angels to thine high Altar in Heauen, in the sight of thy diuine Maiestie: Wee conclude, That this proper and pro∣pitiatorie Sacrifice of the Masse, as a new, vnholy, vnreasonable sacrifice
