But it shall be more tedious then needful, to recite places out of the Scriptures for proof of the Adoration of Christ: there may of them be found so great plenty. Yet because Luther was either so blind, or rather so Devilish, as to deny the Adoration, where notwithstanding he confessed the Presence of Christs True, and Natural Body in the Sacrament: I will here recite what the Sacramentaries of Zurich have written against him therefore. What (say they) is the Bread the true, and natural Body of Christ, and is Christ in the Supper (as the Pope and Luther do teach) present? Wherefore then ought not the Lord there to be Adored, where ye say him to be present? why shall we be forbidden to Adore that, which is not only Sacramentally, but also Corporally the Body of Christ? Thomas toucheth the true Body of Christ raised up from the dead, and falling down on his knees Adoreth, saying: My God, and my Lord. The Disciples Adore the Lord, as well before,1 as after his Ascension. Matth. 28. Act. 1. And the Lord in S. John saith to the blind man, Believest thou in the Son of God? and he answered him, saying: Lord who is he, that I may believe in him? And Jesus said to him: Thou haste both seen him, and, who speaketh with thee, he it is. Then he saith, Lord I believe: and he Adored him. Now if we were taught, our Lords Bread to be the Natural Body of Christ, verily we would adore it also faithfully with the Papists. This much the Zwinglians against Luther. Whereby they prove sufficiently the Adoration of Christs Body in the Sacrament, and so consequently of Christ him self God, and Man, because of the inseparable Conjunction of his Divine, and Human Nature in Unity of Person, so as, where his Body is, there is it joined, and united also unto his Godhead: and so there Christ is present perfectly, Wholly, and Substantially, very God, and Man.
