Harding, to make himself such mirth with Imaginations, Euthymius a Greek Author writing purposely of this matter, saith thus,2 Non oportet simpliciter ea intueri, sed aliud quiddam imaginary, & interioribus oculis ea perspicere, tanovam Mysteria: We may not soak barely upon these things, (that is, upon the Bread and Wine) but must thereof imagine some other matter, and behold the same with our in ward Spiritual eyes, as it is meet to behold Mysteries.
