No man can speak more plainly hereof, then Cyrillus Hierosolymitanus, an Old Author, who wrote in Greek, and is extant, but as yet remaining in written hand, and come to the sight of few learned men: his words be not much unlike the words of the School Doctors. Praebetur Corpus [Greek or Hebrew], in specie, sive figura Panis. Item, praebetur sanguis [Greek or Hebrew]. Christs Body (saith he) is given us in form, or figure of Bread. Again, his Blood is given us in form of Wine. A little after th•se words he saith thus, [Greek or Hebrew], &c.1 Ne men•em adhibeas quasi Pani, & vino nudis: sunt enim haec Corpus, & sanguis, ut Dominus pronunciavit. Nam tametsi illud tibi sensus suggerit, esse, scilicet, Panem & Vinum nudum, tamen firme• te Fides, & ne gustatu rem di•udices, quin potiùs pro certo, ac comperto habe, omni dubitatione relicta, esse tibi impartitum Corpus, & sanguinem Christi. Consider not (saith this Father) these as bare Bread, and Wine. For these are his Body, and Blood, as our Lord said. For although thy sense report to thee so much, that it is bare Bread, and Wine, yet let thy Faith stay thee, and judge not thereof by thy taste, but rather be right well assured, all doubt put apart, that the Body and Blood of Christ is given to thee. Again he saith thus in the same place, Haec cum scias, & pro certo & explorato habeas, (180)2 qui videtur esse Panis, non esse, sed Corpus Christi, item, quod vide•ur vinum, non esse, quanquam id velit sensus, sed sanguinē Christi, ac de eo Prophetam dixisse, Panis Cor hominis confirmat: firma ipse Cor, sumpto hoc pane, utpote Spirituali, Where as thou knowest this for a very certainty, that that which seemeth to be Wine, is not Wine, all be it the sense maketh that account of it, but the Blood of Christ, and that the Prophet thereof said, Bread strengtheneth the heart of man: strengthen then thee self thy heart, by taking this Bread as that which is spiritual. And in the .3. Catechesi this Father saith, Panis Eucharistiae post inuocationem Sancti Spiritus, non amplius est Panis nudus & simplex, sed Corpus &c. The Bread of the Sacrament after prayer made to the Holy Ghost, is not bare, and simple Bread, but the Body of Christ.
