What then will they say next to us? Forsooth, that when they kneel in the act of receiving they are praying and praising, and so worshipping God immediately. And if we would know, what a man doth then pray for, it is told us, sthat he is praying and earnestly crying to God ut eum faciat dignum convivam. To us it seems very strange how a man when he is actually a banqueter, and at the instant of his communicating, can be made in any other sort a banqueter, then he is, for quicquid est, dum est non potest non esse. Wherefore if a man in the instant of his receiving, be an unworthy banqueter, he can not at that instant, be made any other then he is.
