278 The mode of communicating in the Body of Christ,
LECT entering into them sink in them. As for example, Judas Myst. 5, entering into the temptation of covetousness, swam not
through it, but sinking beneath it was choked both in body and spirit. Peter entered into the temptation of the denial; but having entered it, he was not overwhelmed by it, but manfully swimming through it, he was delivered from the temptation. Listen again, in another place, to the company of unscathed saints, giving thanks for deliverance from temptPs. 66, ation, For Thou, O God, hast proved us; Thou hast tried us 10-12. like as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou
laidest affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. Thou seest them speaking boldly, because they passed through and were not pierced. But Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place; now their coming into a wealthy place, is their being delivered from temptation.
18. But deliver us from the evil. If Lead us not into temptation had implied the not being tempted at all, He would not have said, But deliver us from the evil. Now the evil is the Wicked Spirit who is our adversary, from whom we pray to be delivered. Then, after completing the prayer, Thou sayest, Amen; by this Amen, which means, "So be it," setting thy seal to the petitions of this divinely-taught prayer.
19. After this the Priest says, " Holy things to holy men." (16.) Holy are the gifts presented, since they have been visited by ipoir the Holy Ghost; holy are you also, having been vouchsafed ἐπιφοίτη , vid. the Holy Ghost; the holy things therefore correspond to the xxi. 1. holy persons. Then ye say, "One is Holy, One is the Lord, Jesus Christ." For truly One is holy, by nature holy; we prox. too are holy, but not by nature, only by participation, and exu. discipline, and prayer.
(17.) 20. After this ye hear the chanter, with a sacred melody inviting you to the communion of the Holy Mysteries, and Ps.34,9, saying, O taste and see that the Lord is good. Trust not the decision to thy bodily palate; no, but to faith unfaltering; for when we taste we are bidden to taste, not bread and wine, but the sign of the Body and Blood of Christ.

21. Approaching therefore, come not with thy wrists extended, or thy fingers open; but make thy left hand as if a throne for thy right, which is on the eve of receiving the King. And having hallowed thy palm, receive the Body of Christ, saying after it, Amen. Then after thou hast with carefulness hallowed thine eyes by the touch of the Holy Body, partake thereof; giving heed lest thou lose any of it; for what thou losest, is a loss to thee as it were from one of thine own members. For tell me, if any one gave thee gold dust, wouldest thou not with all precaution keep it fast, being on thy guard against losing any of it, and suffering loss? How much more cautiously then wilt thou observe that not a crumb falls from thee, of what is more precious than gold and precious stones?
22. Then after having partaken of the Body of Christ, (19.) approach also to the Cup of His Blood; not stretching forth gwy thine hands, but bending and saying in the way of worship vis and reverence, Amen, be thou hallowed by partaking also of the blood of Christ. And while the moisture is still upon thy lips, touching it with thine hands, hallow both thine eyes and brow and the other senses. Then wait for the prayer, and give thanks unto God, who hath accounted thee worthy of so great mysteries.
23. Hold fast these traditions unspotted, and keep yourselves free from offence. Sever not yourselves from the Communion; deprive not yourselves, by the pollution of sins, of these Holy and Spiritual Mysteries. And the God of peace 1 Thess. sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:-To whom be glory and honour and might, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and world without end. Amen.
