Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eucharistica or a Series of Pieces, Original and Translated, of the Most Holy and Adorable Sacrament of the Eucharist
Thousand different forms, in order to elude the 4clear and forcible proofs which it contains of the doctrine of the Catholic church. They will believe, without a murmur, that the Lord of all glory was confined in the womb of one of his creatures for the space of nine months that he led a most bitter and painful life that he was buffeted, ' spit upon, and scourged; that his body was broken and his blood shed upon the cross and that he expired in the midst of the most cruel torments, for the love which he bore to his creatures. But, strange and ungrateful inconsistency! They refuse to believe that the God who died for them, would, could, or did bequeath to his glorious church his body and blood, as a memorial of that death, as a con tinued and endearing pledge of his love, and an earnest of future glory. How singular must the reasoning which follows appear in the mouth of a Christian I believe that there are three distinct persons in one God that Jesus Christ is'the Son of God, and consubstantial with his Father. I believe that he existed before all ages, that he had no beginning, and will have no end; that nevertheless, he was born in time, and made man like me, that he was cruelly put to death by his own creatures for my redemp.
