You say, Theophylactes reason standeth thus, God cannot be Eaten: because be cannot be comprehended, either with eyes, or with teethe. But Christs Body may ⟨p. 240⟩be eaten: 1Therefore it must follow in the Conclusion, that with our eyes we may see it: and with our teethe receive it. Here would I fain learn of you, M. Harding, when ye saw Christs Body visibly in the Sacrament with your eyes, or when ye pressed it with your teeth?2 If your teeth can receive it, why saith S. Augustine, Quid paras Dentem, & Ventrem? Why preparest thou thy Tooth, and they Belly? If your Bodily eye can see it, why say you, It is Invisible? If it be Invisible, how is it seen? If it be seen, how is it Invisible? It appeareth, that either Theophylacte the Master, or you the Scholar, are deceived: or one of you understandeth not the others meaning. Certainly, as Christs Body is seen in the Sacrament, so is it eaten in the Sacrament. But it is not Really, or Fleshly seen: Therefore it is not Really, or Fleshly Eaten.
