Here M. Harding avoucheth three sundry untruths with one breath. For S. Cyprian neither in these words calleth the Sacrament Christ, nor in the words before calleth it Lord, nor anywhere ever said, that Christs Body is Really present in the Sacrament: Untruths should not so rifely flow from a good Divine.
Here M. Hardinge auoucheth three sundrie vntruethes with one breath. For S. Cyprian neither in these woordes calleth the Sacramente Christe, nor in the woordes before calleth it Lorde, nor anywhere euer saide, that Christes Bodie is Really presente in the Sacramente: Untruethes shoulde not so risely flowe from a good Diuine.
It is true, that S. Cyprian saith, That Christ is our Bread, even the same Bread, that came from Heaven, and giveth life to the world: which Bread, who so ever eateth, shall live for ever.1 So saith S. Basil, Christ is called our Life, our Way, our Bread, our Vine, our Light, our Sword. Which words must be taken, not grossly, nor according to that soundeth in the Letter, but of a Mystical, and Spiritual meaning. Therefore as Christ is our Spiritual Sword, our Spiritual Light, ⟨p. 606⟩our Spiritual Vine, our Spiritual way, and our Spiritual Life, so is he also our Spiritual Bread. Origen saith, Ne mireris, quòd Verbum Dei Caro dicitur: 2nam & Panis, & Lac, & Olera dicitur: & pro mensura credentium, vel possibilitate sumentium diversè nominatur. Marvel not, that the Word of God is called Flesh: For it is also called Bread, and Milk, and Herbs: and according to the measure of the Believers, or possibility of the Receivers, it is diversly named.
