Thus the holy Fathers in the sway of Disputation, use oftentimes to enlarge their talk above the common course of truth: but specially when they entreat of the Nature, & effect of the Holy Sacraments: to the end to withdraw the eyes of the people from the Sensible, & Corruptible Creatures, that they see before them, to the contemplation of things Spiritual, that be in Heaven. In this sort S. Chrysostom saith,1 Figimus dents in Carne Christi: Wee fasten our teeth in the Flesh of Christ. ⟨p. 462⟩And again,2 Videmus Dominum nostrum in Cunis jacentem, & fascijs inuolutum. We see our Lord lying in his Cradle, and swathed in bands. And again, Turba circumstans rubet Sanguine Christi: 3The companie standing about is made red with the Blood of Christ. Likewise again he saith, Hic Sermo Sanguine infectus omnes aspersit: These words being stained with Blood, have sprinkled all men. 4So likewise S. Bernarde, Totum Christum desidero videre, & tangere: & non id solùm, sed accedere ad Sacrosanctum eius Lateris vulnus, ost•um Arcae, quod factum est in Latere, 5ut totus intrem usque ad Cor Jesu.

Thus the Holy Fathers have evermore used upon occasion to force, and advance their words above the tenor of common speech.
