[418] Bingham, in his Antiquities (v. 358, et seq.), expends much learning upon proofs that the Fathers believed in the continued substantial presence of bread and wine. In Hooker, there is a clear description of the Anglican view as distinguished from other views.—Eccl. Polity, v.c. lv., &c.
[419] “Nam multi ex antiquissimis patribus, ut Justinus Martyr, Tertullianus, Clemens Romanus, Lanctantius, Victorinus Martyr, et alii, non putabant animas justorum hinc recta ad cœlos ire: sed in sinu Abrahæ, vel in aliquo alio refrigerii loco usque ad ultimi judicii diem detineri; adeoque interea Beatificæ visionis, seu perfectæ felicitatis, ex Dei promissione et Christi merito illis debitæ, expertes esse. Quare cum sic judicarent non abs re erat Deum illorum nomine orare, ut maturaret illum diem, quem coronandis Sanctis suis in plenitudine Redemptionis destinâsset.”—Epistolaris Dissertatio, &c., 18.—Compare Tracts for the Times, No. 72.
