Thus the Holy Fathers used oftentimes to advance, and to magnify the Holy Mysteries, the better to bring their Hearers to the deep, and inward consideration of the same:1 and therefore, as S. Augustine saith, Sacramenta tantae rei, non nisi eiusdem rei vocabulo nuncuparunt: They expressed the Sacramenta of so great a thing, none otherwise, then by the name of the same thing. So S. Paul saith,2 The Rock was Christ: So an other saith, as I have otherwheres alleged, The Oil is Christ: and an other, Manna erat Christus, qui descendit de Coelo: The Manna (that rained in the Wilderness) was Christ, that came down from Heaven. So saith S. Chrysostom, reporting the story of David: Accipiens Aquam allatam bibere noluit: Sed semetipsum reprehendit, & Domino eam libavit. Non enim Aqua erat, sed Sanguis: David receiving of the Water, (that his men had gotten with great danger from the midst of their enemies) would not drink of it: But found fault with him self, and poured it out unto the Lord: For it was not Water, but Blood.
