The Substance of these three states is one: the difference standeth only in quality, or proportion of more, or less. The Jews saw Christ in the Law: The Christians see Christ in the Gospel: The Blessed Saints see Christ in Heaven. The Jews saw Christ darkly,1 as in a shadow: The Christians see Christ, as in an Image lively portrayed: The holy Saints see Christ in Heaven expressly, and perfectly without Image or Shadow, face to face. Christ, that is seen, is all one: the difference is only in the seers: of whom some see in a dark Shadow: some in a perfect Image: and some in the clear Light. And yet none of them without the sight of Christ. And as the Jews were in a Shadow, in comparison of that Brightness of Light, that we see now: even so are we likewise in a Shadow, in comparison of that Light, that we hope for, and is to come. And thus Origen, Nazianzene, Oecumen•us, and the rest of the Ancient Fathers meant, and none otherwise. Therefore M. Harding may consider better, how much these Authorities make for him, to prove his Secrete Fleshly Presence in the Sacrament.
The Substance of these three states is one: the difference standeth onely in qualitie, or proportion of more, or lesse. The Iewes sawe Christe in the Lawe: The Christians sée Christ in the Gospel: The Blissed Sainctes sée Christe in Heauen. The Iewes sawe Christe darkely,1 as in a shadowe: The Christians sée Christe, as in an Image liuely purtraide: The holie Sainctes sée Christe in Heauen expressely, and perfitely without Image or Shadowe, face to face. Christe, that is séene, is al one: the difference is onely in the seers: of whome some see in a darke Shadowe: some in a perfite Image: and some in the cleare Lighte. And yet none of them without the sight of Christe. And as the Iewes were in a Shadowe, in comparison of that Brightnes of Lighte, that we sée nowe: euen so are wée likewise in a Shadowe, in comparison of that Light, that we hope for, and is to come. And thus Origen, Nazianzene, Oecumen•us, and the reste of the Ancient Fathers meante, and none otherwise. Therefore M. Hardinge may consider better, how muche these Authorities make for him, to prooue his Secrete Fleashely Presence in the Sacrament.
