Two places out of S Chrysostom were alleged by M. Martin, 1to prove the real presence. The first out of his second homily to the people of Antioch, 2wherein by an excellent and fit allegory, he compareth our saviour Christ to the Prophet Elijah. For as Elijah ascending bodily ⟨p. 194⟩into heaven, left his cloak with Elisha his scholar, so Christ the Son of God ascending up, left his flesh with us. S. Chrysostoms meaning to any that readeth the place is evident enough: & M. R. though he multiply words after his simple manner, yet my former answer he cannot disprove. That Christ left unto us his flesh in the holy sacrament, who ever doubted? that therein we receive his true and natural flesh, we believe, we teach, and always did. But the Real presence of his flesh, such as you maintain S. Chrysostom never knew and we utterly deny.3 For can you reason thus, and reason truly, that if Christ left us his flesh, he left it in real presence? this is the point: this prove if you can: else you talk to no purpose. Christ left his flesh, that is, a sacrament of his flesh, wherein is most truly and effectually, but spiritually offered unto us, and of us received, the very flesh of Christ.
