Chrysostoms purpose was, by this word, Massa, which in this place signifieth a lump of dough, to make resemblance unto these words of S. Paul,1 We are one Loaf, and one Body: And by such Majesty of speech, the more to quicken, and lift up our sprites, and to cause us thereby the better to consider that wonderful Conjunction, and knitting, that is between Christ and us, whereby either is in other, he in us, and we in him: and that even in one person: in such sort, as he is neither in the Angels, nor in the Archangels, nor in any other power in Heaven. And therefore S. Paul saith, The Angels he took not: 2but he took the seed of Abraham. But this wonderful Conjunction, and, as Chrysostom calleth it, this mixture is wrought, not only in the holy Mysteries, but also in the Sacrament of Baptism. And in that sense Leo saith, Susceptus à Christo, 3Christumque suscipiens, non est idem post Lavacrum, qui ante Baptismū fuit: Sed Corpus Regenerati fit Caro Crucifixi.4 A man received of Christ, and receiving Christ (in Baptism), is not the same after Baptism, that he was before: But the Body of him, that is Regenerate, is made the Flesh of him, that was Crucified. 5Likewise S. Augustine saith, Ergo gratulemur, & agamus gratias, non solùm nos Christianos factos esse, sed etiam Christum. Intelligitis, Fratres, Gratiā Dei super nos: Capitis: Admiramini: gaudete: Christus facti sumus. Si enim ille Caput est, & nos membra, totus ille homo, & nos: Let us rejoice, and give thanks, that we are not only made Christian men, but also made Christ. Brethren ye understand the Grace of God, that is upon us. Ye understand it: Ye wonder at it: Rejoice ye: we are made Christ. For if he be the Head, and we the members, both he and we are one whose man.
