A double summons the one, to unfeigned repentance. The other, to the worthy receiving…A double summons the one, to vnfained repentance. The other, to the worthie receiuing…

We feel a presence of the Lord by Grace, or in Grace, saith Chrysostom: We receive the celestial food, that cometh from above, saith Athanasius. We receive the property of the natural conjunction,¹ and knitting together, saith Hillarius. We receive the nature of the flesh the blessing that giveth life in bread and Wine, saith Cyrillus. ²And else where he saith, that with the bread and Wine, we eat the virtue of Christs proper flesh, life, grace, and the property of the body of the only begotten son of God; which thing he himself expoundeth to be life.³ Basilius saith, that we by the Sacrament receive the mystical Advent of Christs, grace, and the very virtue of his very nature.⁴ Ambrose saith, that we receive the Sacrament of the true body.⁵ Epiphanius saith, we receive the body or grace. And Hierome saith, that we receive spiritual flesh,⁶ which he calleth other flesh, then that which was crucified. Chrysostom saith,⁷ that we receive influence of grace and the ⟨p. 117⟩Grace of the holy Ghost. Saint Augustine saith, that we receive grace and verity, the invisible grace and holiness of the members of Christs body. All the which sayings of the Fathers, do confirm this our faith and doctrine of the Sacrament, we granting in all things herein unto them, and they in like manner unto us. And therefore, the lying lips, which both belie the Doctors, as though they granted a carnal and real presence of Christs body, naturally and corporally after the Papists declaration and meaning: and which belie us also, as though we denied all presence of Christ, and so made it but a bare sign.
