Touching S. Augustine and Origen, the portion so taken was to be used with reverence, as being the Sacrament of Christs Body: and so ought we also reverently to have and to order the water of Baptism: the Book of the Gospel, and all other things that be of God: as the Jews were also commanded to keep their Manna reverently in a golden pot.1 Tell me, saith S. Augustine Whether of these two things, trow ye, to be the greater, the Body of Christ (meaning thereby the Sacrament of Christs Body) or the word of Christ?2 If ye will answer truly,3 ye must needs say, that the word of Christ is no less then the Body of Christ. Therefore look, with what diligence ye take heed, when the Body of Christ is ministered unto you, that no part thereof fall unto the ground: even so with like ••igence must ye take heed, that the word of God being once received, be not lost from a pure heart. 4Likewise S. Chrysostom touching the same, Si haec vasa sanctificata ad privatos usus transfer si• periculosum est, in quibus non est verū Corpus Christi, sed Mysterium Corporis Christi continetur:5 If the matter be so dangerous, to put these sanctified vessels unto private uses, wherein is contained not the very Body of Christ, but the Mystery or Sacrament of Christs Body &c. Al these authorities do declare, that the Sacraments of Christ ought discreetly and reverently to be used.
Touchinge S. Augustine and Origen, the portion so taken was to be vsed with reuerence, as beinge the Sacramente of Christes Body: and so ought wée also reuerently to haue and to order the water of Baptisme: the Booke of the Gospel, and al other thinges that be of God: as the Iewes were also commaunded to keepe their Manna reuerently in a golden potte.1 Tel me, saith S. Augustine Whether of these twoo thinges, trowe ye, to be the greater, the Body of Christe (meaninge thereby the Sacrament of Christes Body) or the woorde of Christe?
