You add [Let him not name the Egyptians: for they held Transubstantiation and unbloody Sacrifice, as is manifest by their Liturgies; but denied the procession of the Holy Ghost from the Son, and held but one will in Christ. Godignus de reb. Abas. lib. 1. cap. 28.] Answ. 1. Godignus talks not of the Egyptians but the Abassines. This learned man it seems, is so home-bred, and confined to the Roman Church, that he little regardeth the rest of the Christian world; or else he would have known a difference between the Egyptians and Abassines: He is likely to know well the true Catholic Church that while. 2. You cannot prove that they hold Transubstantiation. Nor shall your bare naming their Liturgy make us believe it. The Egyptian Liturgy you tell us not where to find, nor I suppose do you know your selves. An Ethiopic Liturgy your compilers of the Bibliotheca Patrum have given us, Tom. 6. But 1. It hath no mention of Transubstantiation in it, that I can find, but only a ⟨p. 134⟩Hoc est Corpus, &c. which we say in our Administration as well as they. 2. And I find that Liturgy so contrary to the reports of your own writers concerning the practice of the Ethiopians, (as about the Elevation, Confirmation, &c.) that I must needs conclude, that either the Liturgy or much of it is forged, or that the generality of your own Relators of their practice are grossly deceived, and do deceive, (which is not likely, because they are many, and write at several times, and it is against themselves.) 3. And as for the procession of the Holy Ghost, and the denial of two wills in Christ, some of your own writers profess, that the former in the Greeks, and the later in many others, is found to be but a verbal difference, the same words not signifying the same thing in their esteem as in ours. 4. However, if they would but become the subjects of the Pope, they might be of your Church for all this: and therefore seeing they are the subjects of Christ, we shall take both Ethiopians and Copts to be of the same Catholic Church with us, for all these and many other of their errors.
