He saith, That the Sacrament should be delivered to the people in both kinds, neither Christ ever commanded it, nor the Apostles ever ordained it. Thus M. Harding saith, only because it liketh him thus to say. Yet this own Catholic Doctors, & the Chief Champions of that side say far otherwise. ¹Gerardius Lorichius saith, Ipsius Sacramenti Institutio vult, ut Omnes unà manducemus, & bibamus: The very Institution of the Sacrament it self willeth, that we Eat, and Drink all together. And Ruardus Tapper the Dean of Louvain saith thus: ²Habito respectu ad Sacramentum, eiusque perfectionem, magis conueniret, sub Utraque specie fieri Communionem, quàm sub Altera tantùm. Hoc enim magis consonum est eius Institutioni, & integritati, & refectioni Corporali: imò & Exemplo Christi, & Patrum Primitivae Ecclesiae: Consideration had unto the Sacrament, and to the perfection of the same, it were more convenient, that the Communion were Ministered under Both Kinds, then under One alone. For this were more agreeable to the Institution, and fullness thereof, and to the outward refection of the Body: Yea and to the Example both of Christ, and also of the Fathers of the Primitive Church.
