Leaving no small number of places, that might be recited out of diverse, other Doctors, I will bring two of two worthy Bishops, one of Chrysostom, the other of S. Ambrose, confirming this Trueth. Chrysostoms1 words be these. Pontifex noster ille est, qui hostiam mundantem nos obtulit: ipsam offerimus & nunc, quae tun• oblata quidem consumi non potest. Ho• autem, quod nos facimus, in commemorationem sit eius, quod factum est. Hoc ••im facite, inquit, in mei commemorationem. He is our Bishop, that hath offered up the Host, which cleanseth us. The same do we offer also now, which though it were then offered, yet can not be consumed. But this, that we do, is done in Remembrance of that, which is done. For, do ye this, saith he,2 in my Remembrance. S. Ambrose saith thus: Vidimus principem Sacerdotum ad nos venientem: vidimus, & audivimus offerentem pro nobis sanguinem suum sequamur, ut possumus, sacerdotes, ut offeramus pro populo sacrificium, ersi infirmi merito, tamen honorabiles Sacrificio. Quia etsi Christus non videtur offerre, tamen ipse offertur in terris, quando Christi Corpus offertur. We have seen the Prince of Priests come to us: we have seen and heard him offer for us his Blood: Let us that be Priests follow him, as we may, that we may offer Sacrifice for the people, being though weak in merit, yet honourable for the Sacrifice. Because albeit Christ be not seen to offer, yet he is offered in earth, when the Body of Christ is offered. Of these our Lords words, which is given for you, and, which is shed for you, and for many, here S. Ambrose exhorteth the Priests to offer the Body and Blood of Christ for the people: And willeth them to be more regarded, then commonly they be now a days, for this Sacrifice sake, though otherwise they be of less desert.
