At the Supper of our Lord, saith M. Harding, ministered in the Catholic Church, by Priests rightly Consecrate, there is the true, and whole Body of Our Lord and Saviour given, and received: be the receivers believing, or not believing.1 This is no great marvel in M. Hardinges Doctrine. For they of his side say, Si dicatur, quòd Mus sumat Corpus Christi, non est magnum inconuenines: If it be said, that a Mouse receiveth the Body of Christ, it is no great inconvenience. And Alexander of Hales a notable School Doctor saith, though in more unseeingly, & grosser wise, Si Canis, vel Porcus deglutiret Hostiam Consecratam integram, non video quare Corpus Domini non simul traijcertur in ventrē Canis, vel Porci: If a Dog, or a Sow should happen to swallow down the whole Host being Consecrate, I see no reason, but the body of our Lord may pass withal into the belly of the Dog, or of the Sow.
At the Supper of our Lorde, saithe M. Hardinge, ministred in the Catholique Churche, by Priestes rightly Consecrate, there is the true, and whole Body of Our Lorde and Saueour geuen, and receiued: be the receiuers beléeuinge, or not beléeuinge.1 This is no greate marueile in M. Hardinges Doctrine. For they of his side saie, Si dicatur, quòd Mus sumat Corpus Christi, non est magnum inconuenines: If it be saide, that a Mouse receiueth the Body of Christe, it is no greate incōuenience. And Alexander of Hales a notable Schole Doctour saith, though in more vnséeingly, & grosser wise, Si Canis, vel Porcus deglutiret Hostiam Consecratam integram, non video quare Corpus Domini non simul traijcertur in ventrē Canis, vel Porci: If a Dogge, or a Sovve shoulde happen to swallow downe the whole Hoste being Consecrate, I see no reason, but the body of our Lorde maie passe withal into the belly of the Dogge, or of the Sowe.
