'For, continued he, 'although it has been justly held in all nations a matter of scandal and dishonour to infringe the sacramentum militare, and that whether it was taken by each soldier singly, whilk the Romans denominated per conjurationem, or by one soldier in name of the rest, yet no one ever doubted that the allegiance so sworn was discharged by the dimissio, or discharging of a soldier, whose case would be as hard as that of colliers, salters, and other adscripti glebes, or slaves of the soil, were it to be accounted otherwise.
And as we have said of Baptism that it is not simple water, so here also we say the Sacrament is bread and wine, but not mere bread and wine, such as are ordinarily served at the table, but bread and wine comprehended in, and connected with, the Word of God. For it is said: Accedat verbum ad elementum, et At sacramentum. If the Word be joined to the element it becomes a Sacrament.
"Accedat verbum ad elementum," said St. Ambrose, "et fiat sacramentum." So the elementary passions, pity and love, wrath and terror, are not in themselves poetical; they must be wrought upon by the word to become poetry. In no other way can suffering be transformed to pathos, or horror reach its apotheosis in tragedy.
It was felt to be a time of individual preparation for the Sacramentum of the following day, which Protestant Ulster had set apart as a day of self-dedication to a cause for which they were willing to make any sacrifice. See Sir B. Carson's speech in Belfast Newsletter, September 24th, 1912. See ante, p. 53. See p. 106. See p. 248. The Times, September 23rd, 1912.
Comprehend the difference, then, that Baptism is quite another thing than all other water; not on account of the natural quality, but because something more noble is here added; for God Himself stakes His honor His power and might on it. Augustine also taught: Accedat verbum ad elementum et fit sacramentum.
Look at Titus Livius, what he says of those Roman soldiers who were so unhappy as exuere sacramentum, to renounce their legionary oath; but you are ignorant, sir, alike of ancient history and modern courtesy. 'Not so ignorant as ye would pronounce me, roared Balmawhapple. 'I ken weel that you mean the Solemn League and Covenant; but if a' the Whigs in hell had taken the
Thirdly, Tertullian expressly contrasts the original institution of our Lord with the church practice of his own day, in this very point. "Eucharistiæ sacramentum et in tempore victus, et omnibus mandatum a Domino, etiam antelucanis coetibus nee de aliorum manu quam præridentium sumimus."
We're brothers in arms, for good or evil, Brooke." Brooke began to whistle, and then murmured some words like these: "Non ego perfidum Dixi sacramentum: ibimus, ibimus, Utcunque praecedes, supremum Carpere iter comites parati." "What do you say?" asked Talbot. "Oh, nothing," said Brooke; "dog Latin some rubbish from Horace.
Surely that must touch the Sacred Heart! Will not His Mother say one word? "Hosanna! Hosanna au Fils de David!" "Hosanna!" cried the priest. "Hosanna!" cried the people. "Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!..." One articulate roar of disappointed praise, and then Tantum ergo Sacramentum! rose in its solemnity. When Benediction was over, I went back to the Bureau; but there was little to be seen there.
Cf. also Caes. Defendere, to defend him, when attacked; tueri, to protect him at all times. Praecipuum sacramentum. Their most sacred duty, Guen. and K.; or the chief part of their oath, Gr. Clarescunt tuentur. So Ritter after the best MSS. Al. clarescant tueantur, or tueare. Non nisi. In Cic. usually separated by a word or a clause. In T. generally brought together. Exigunt. They expect.
