This Cyrillus Hierosolymitanus is an Old Author newly set forth. I will not call his credit into question: notwithstanding many of his considerations be very much like to M. Hardinges judgement in this Article, that is to say, like Accidens sine Subiecto, A show of words without Substance. He seemeth both in words, and sense fully to agree with Chrysostom, Oecumenius, and other Greek Fathers, that never understood this M. Hardinges New Religion. He shutteth up the Hearers bodily eyes, wherewith they see the Bread, and Wine: and borroweth only the Inner eyes of their minds, wherewith they may see the very Body, and Blood of Christ, which is that Bread, that came from Heaven. And herein, notwithstanding his words be quick, & violent, the more to stir, and inflame the hearts of them, unto whom he speaketh, yet he him self in plainest wise openeth, & cleareth his own meaning. For thus he writeth, Ne considers, tanquam Panem Nudum: Panis Eucharistiae non est amplius Panis Simplex, & Nudus. 1Consider it not, as if it were Bare Bread: The Bread of the Sacrament is no longer Bare and Simple Bread. Which words are naturally resolved thus: It is Bread: how be it not only bare Bread: but bread, and some other thing else beside. So, where they of M. Hardinges side are wont to saye, Papa non est Purus homo: The Pope is not a Bare man, I trow, their meaning is not, That the Pope is no man: but only, that he is a man, & yet besides that, hath an other Capacity, above the condition, and state of common men. Of these words of Cyrillus we may well reason thus by the way: The Sacrament is not only, or Bare Bread: Therefore it is Bread, all be it not only Bare Bread. And thus the same Cyrillus, that is brought to testify, that there remaineth no Bread in the Sacrament, testifieth most plainly to the contrary, that there is Bread remaining in the Sacrament.
