Chrysostom hath a notable place for the adoration of Christs Body in the Sacrament,1 in his Commentaries upon S. Paul, where he affirmeth also the (169)2 Real presence, and the sacrifice. Let us not, let us not (saith he) be willing impudently to kill our selves. And when thou seest that Body set forth, say with thee self, For cause of this Body, I am no longer earth and ashes, no longer captive, but free. This Body fastened (on the Cross) and beaten, was not overcome with Death. After this, he exhorteth all to adore and worship our lords body in the Sacrament.* This Body (saith he) the Wise Men worshipped in the stall, and having taken a long journey, being both wicked, and aliens, with very great fear, and trembling adored him. Wherefore let us follow at least those aliens, us, I say, that are Citizens of heaven. For they, where as they saw but that stall, and Cabin only, and none of all the things thou seest now, came notwithstanding with the greatest reverence, and fear, that was possible. But thou seest it not in a stall of beasts, but on the altar: not a woman to hold it in her arms, but a priest present, and the holy Ghost plentifully spread upon the sacrifice.4 This Father in his Mass maketh a prayer in presence of the Blessed Sacrament, almost with the same words, that S. Basil did. Attend Domine Jesu Christe Deus noster, &c. Look upon us O Lord Jesus Christ, our God, from thy holy habitacle, and from the Throne of the Glory of thy Kingdom, and come to sanctify us: who sittest on high with the Father, and art here invisibly with us: and make us worthy by thy mighty hand, that we may be partakers of thy unspotted Body, and precious Blood, and through us, all the people.
