But here, M. Harding, ye do us great wrong, to say, we call Christs Body an Idol. 1For we know, and have evermore Confessed with Chrysostom, that the Body of Christ is worthy of the highest Honour: & we Adore it, and worship it, even as the very Body of the Son of God. How be it, as it is said before, Christs Body is one thing, and the Sacrament is an other. The Sacrament is in Earth: Christs Body is in Heaven, at the Right Hand of God the Father.2 And therefore Chrysostom saith in the same place, A scende ergo ad Coeli portas, & diligenter attende: imò non Coeli, sed Coeli Coelorum: & tunc, quod dicimus, intueberis: Mount up therefore unto the gates of Heaven, and diligently consider: Nay, I say not, unto the gates of Heaven, but unto the gates of the Heaven of Heavens: and so shall ye see the things, that we speak of.
But here, M. Hardinge, ye doo vs great wronge, to saie, wée cal Christes Body an Idole. 1For wée knowe, and haue euermore Confessed with Chrysostome, that the Body of Christe is woorthy of the highest Honoure: & wée Adore it, and woorship it, euen as the very Body of the Sonne of God. How be it, as it is saide before, Christes Body is one thinge, and the Sacramente is an other. The Sacramente is in Earthe: Christes Body is in Heauen, at the Right Hande of God the Father.2 And therefore Chrysostome saith in the same place, A scende ergo ad Coeli portas, & diligenter attende: imò non Coeli, sed Coeli Coelorum: & tunc, quod dicimus, intueberis: Mounte vp therefore vnto the gates of Heauen, and diligently consider: Naie, I saie not, vnto the gates of Heauen, but vnto the gates of the Heauen of Heauens: and so shal ye see the thinges, that wee speake of.
