Clemens lib. 5. constit. Apost. cap. 13. after mention of the Paschal ⟨p. 452⟩or typical supper, addeth these words, as of the Apostles, [Greek or Hebrew]. But when he had delivered to us the antitype mysteries (so called in reference to the Paschal supper) of his precious body and blood, Judas not being present with us. I do not own these eight books of the Apostolical constitutions, as written by that Clemens who was Pauls fellow-labourer, Phil. 4. yet certainly they are ancient as is universally acknowledged. Dionysius Areopagita (or whosoever he was that anciently wrote under that name) de Ecclesiastica Hierarchia cap. 3. part. 3. sect. 1. speaking of the same bread, and the same cup, whereof all the communicants are partakers, he saith that this teacheth them a Divine conformity of manners, and withal calls to mind Christs supper in the night when he was betrayed [Greek or Hebrew]. In quo caena: so Ambrose the Monk in his Latin translation, and Judoeus Clichtoveus in his Commentary, In which supper (for [Greek or Hebrew] relates to [Greek or Hebrew] the supper before mentioned, and signifieth the time of supper, or after supper was begun.; so the Graecians use to say [Greek or Hebrew] to signify in the time of sickness) the author himself of those Symbols doth most justly deprive or cast out him (Judas) who had not holily and with agreement of mind supped together with him, upon holy things. By these holy things he understands (it should seem) the Typical or Paschal supper, of which Judas had eaten before, and peradventure that night also, in the opinion of this Ancient. Judocus Clichteveus in his Commentary saith only, that Judas did that night eat together with Christ cibum, meat, he saith not Sacramentum. This ancient writer is also of opinion that Christ did excommunicate Judas, or as Clichtoveus expounds him, à caeterorum discipulorum caetu aequissime separavit, discrevit & dispescuit. If you think not this clear enough, hear the ancient Scholiast Maximus to whom the Centurists give the Testimony of a most learned and most holy man: He flourished in the seventh Century, under Constans, he was a chief opposer of the Monothelites, and afterwards a martyr.
