If M. Harding mean plainly, and will have S. Cyprian's words taken, as they lie, without Figure, then must he say, That Melchizedek offered up verily, and Really Christ him self. For S. Cyprian's1 words be cleare, Christus obtulit hoc idem, quod Melchizedek obtulerat: Christ offered up the same thing, that Melchizedek had offered. Notwithstanding it is certain, that the Sacrifice, that Melchizedek made, if it were granted to be a Sacrifice, yet in plain, & Common manner of speech, was not Christ the Son of God, but only material Bread, and Wine, and other like provision of Victuals prepared for Abraham, and for his men. And therefore the Old learned Fathers say not, Melchizedek offered the same in Sacrifice unto God: but, He brought it forth, as a present, as the manner was, to refresh them, after the pursuit, and chase of their enemies. And S. Hierome in his Translation turneth it not, Obtulit, He Sacrificed: but, Protulit, He brought it forth. 2Josephus reporteth the matter thus: Melchizedek milites Abrahami hospitaliter habuit, nihil illis ad victum deesse Passus: Simulque ipsum adhibuit Mensae: Melchizedek feasted Abraham's Soldiers, and suffered them to want nothing, that was necessary for their provision. And likewise he received Abraham him self unto his Table. Chrysostom, and Epiphanius say thus,3 He brought forth unto them Bread, and Wine.
Yf M. Hardinge meane plainely, and wil haue S. Cyprians woordes taken, as they lie, without Figure, then muste he saie, That Melchisedek offered vp verily, and Really Christe him selfe. For S. Cyprians1 woordes be cleare, Christus obtulit hoc idem, quod Melchisedek obtulerat: Christe offered vp the same thinge, that Melchisedek had offered. Notwithstandinge it is certaine, that the Sacrifice, that Melchisedek made, if it were graunted to be a Sacrifice, yet in plaine, & Common manner of speàche, was not Christe the Sonne of God, but onely material Breade, and Wine, and other like prouision of Uictualles prepared for Abraham, and for his menne. And therefore the Olde learned Fathers saie not, Melchisedek offered the same in Sacrifice vnto God: but, He brought it foorth, as a present, as the manner was, to refreashe them, after the pursuite, and chase of their enimies. And S. Hierome in his Translation turneth it not, Obtulit, He Sacrificed: but, Protulit, He brought it foorthe.
