But what manner of Feast is it, that M. Harding prepareth for the people? How is it seasoned? how is it dressed? First, by very uncourteous, and uncivil dealing, he withdraweth the one half, that is, the Cup of the New Testament, and reserveth it severally to him self: & yet would make the people believe, ⟨p. 225⟩they have the whole.1 And thus doth he, when he hath greattest company to Sup with him, and when his feast is best furnished. Otherwise he suffereth his guests to stand aloof, and he consumeth all his provision him self alone. Neither in deed hath he any thing to set before them, saving only a cold surcharge of dead Shows, and dumb Ceremonies. The poor people heareth nothing, Understandeth nothing, Eateth nothing, Drinketh nothing, Tasteth nothing: They publish not the Lords Death: They know not the Lords Supper.
