But let this Exposition of Maximus stand for good. The priest held up from the Table, and showed forth the Sacrament, to declare, that the holy Communion was ready, that the people might prepare them selves, and draw near. And therefore he spake aloud, Holy things for the Holy. 1Which words Chrysostom expoundeth thus, Quando Sacerdos dicit, Sancta Sanctis, Hoc dicit, Si quis non est Sanctus, non accedat. When the priest saith, Holy things unto the holy, thus he saith, If any man be not holy, let him not come near. So likewise Nicolaus Cabasilas, a Greek writer of late days: Sacerdos clamat, Sancta Sanctis, propemodum dicens: Ecce panis vitae: accurrite participes futuri: sed non omnes: verùm, si quis est Sanctus. The priest speaketh aloud, Holy things for the holy: As though he should say, Behold the bread of life: come near, and take part: how be it not all, but if any man be holy. And lest he should seem to discourage any man in respect of his unworthiness, he saith further, Sanctos autem vocat, non virtute perfectos, sed quicunque ad illam tendunt perfectionem: He calleth them holy, not, that be full perfect in virtue, but that be inclined to perfection. To this end therefore the minister showed forth the Bread, that the people might prepare them selves to the Distribution. And therefore it is written thus in Chrysostoms Liturgy, Sacerdos ostendit Calicem populo, dicens, Cum timore Dei, ⟨p. 377⟩& Fide, & dilectione accedite. The priest showeth the Cup unto the people, saying unto them, draw near with the fear of God, and with Faith, and love. And the people answereth, 2Blessed is he, that cometh in the name of the Lord. This same was S. Basiles meaning in his book, De Spiritu Sancto. The words of Invocation, that there are spoken of, were of such authority in the Church, and of such weight, that neither M. Harding, nor, I believe, any other of that side, is able now to show us, what they were. In the Liturgy, that beareth S. Basiles name,3 it is only noted thus, When the priest saith, Sancta Sanctis, the people answereth, Unus Sanctus: unus Pater: unus Filius. The very same was Chrysostoms meaning upon the Epistle to the Ephesians.4
