The Twelfth Passage. Book. 3.* 1.1 pag. 298.
S. CHRYSOSTOME.
[ 40]
OB.
CHrysostome is said to be placed in the front of the host of Bellar∣mines
Fathers, whereas Bellarmine in his Catalogue of Fathers
De Euchar. lib. 2. citeth twenty Fathers before him.
ANSW. If Bellarmine have had other Treatises, in his Con∣troversies
against K. IAMES of blessed memory, wherein Chry∣sostome
was made the Champion, was this fondnesse in mee to
say as I have sayd, and not rather rashnesse in this Objector,
in thus gain-saying?
descriptionPage 498
OB. II. But you have furthermore omitted the words of Chryso∣stome,
which in English should be these [Although these things exceed
our sense and reason, yet let us hold them without doubting.]
ANSW. Hee telleth mee what was omitted, looking directly
upon that, but forgot to acknowledge what was expressed out of
Chrysostome, looking askew and asquint at it. My Translation
out of Chrysostome delivered his words, in the first part, thus;
[ALTHOVGH THE SPEECH OF CHRIST MAY 〈◊〉〈◊〉
STRANGE TO SENSE AND REASON:) which is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to
that which is omitted; Christ's speech exceeds our sense and rea∣son. [ 10]
In the other part was set downe these words of Chrysostome,
[YET LET VS BELIEVE HIS WORDS;] Fully equivalent
with those which were omitted, [YET LET VS RECEIVE
CHRIST'S WORDS WITHOVT DOVBTING;] except the Pa∣pists
will thinke us to be of their degenerate Faith, Of Believing
with doubting. Where you may perceive that your Objector con∣sidered
not how easie it had been for me (by not omitting some
words) to have beene superfluous.
