The B. of Sarisburie.
Here M. Hardinge auoucheth three sundrie vntruethes with one breath. For
S. Cyprian neither in these woordes calleth the Sacramente Christe, nor in the
woordes before calleth it Lorde, nor anywhere euer saide, that Christes Bodie is
Really presente in the Sacramente: Untruethes shoulde not so risely flowe from a
good Diuine.
It is true, that S. Cyprian saithe, That Christe is our Breade, euen the same Breade,
that came from Heauen, and geueth life to the worlde: whiche Breade, who so euer eateth,
shal liue for euer.* 1.1So saithe S. Basile, Christe is called our Life, our Waye, our
Breade, our Vine, our Light, our Swearde. Which woordes must be taken, not grossely,
nor according to that soundeth in the Letter, but of a Mystical, and Spiritual mea∣ninge.
Therefore as Christe is our Spiritual Swearde, our Spiritual Light,
descriptionPage 606
our Spiritual Uine, our Spiritual waie, and our Spiritual Life, so is he also our
Spiritual Breade. Origen saithe, Ne mireris, quòd Verbum Dei Caro dicitur:* 1.2nam
& Panis, & Lac, & Olera dicitur: & pro mensura credentium, vel possibilitate sumentium
diuersè nominatur. Marueile not, that the Woorde of God is called Fleashe: For it is also
called Breade, and Milke, and Hearbes: and accordinge to the measure of the Beleuers, or
possibilitie of the Receiuers, it is diuersly named.
Uerily, S. Cyprian saithe not, neither that the Sacramente is Christe, nor that
Christe is the Sacramente. Therefore, where as M. Hardinge woulde reason thus,
Christe is the Breade of Life: Ergo, The Sacramente is our Lorde, and God: he seemeth
to presume ouer boldely of his Logique.
