EVsebius is objected (in the Margin) as naming the Eucha∣rist, Sacrificium Deo plenum. My Answer there is, that [ 20] these three words Are not undoubtedly spoken of the Eucharist. Which a Romish Seducer of late traduced, as untruly an∣swered: but yet giveth no Reason of his Exception; but as blindly as bluntly telleth mee that my Answer is False. But if I be mistaken, then hath Eusebius himselfe seduced mee, who, before the same words, speaketh of [Hostias in∣corporeas, & intelligentiâ praeditas:] specifying the Sacrifice of a contrite heart, and Sacrifice of Prayse. And againe im∣mediately after; [At Sacrificium Deo spiritus contritus.] Then, after this hee adjoyneth [Memoriam magni illius Sacrificij;] The Memoriall of that great Sacrifice; Meaning, the Eucha∣risticall [ 30] Commemoration of the Sacrifice of the Crosse, as any that looketh not a-squint upon the place will easily perceive. Besides, all the Sacrifices of the New Testament, by him mentioned, hee calleth Incorporeall, and indued with Vnder∣standing. But you do as truly grant the Eucharist to be a Corporall Substance, as you wickedly* 1.1 say, that Christ's Body therein is Without Vnderstanding.
