It was all vain, and lost labour for you, M. Harding, so earnestly to prove, that Christs Body quickeneth, and giveth life. We know it: We Confess it:1 We feel it: Christ him self saith it: I am the Bread of Life: He that eateth of this Bread, shall live for ever.
It was al vaine, and loste laboure for you, M. Hardinge, so earnestly to proue, that Christes Body quickeneth, and geuéeth life. Wee knowe it: Wée Confesse it:1 Wée féele it: Christe him selfe saithe it: I am the Breade of Life: He that eateth of this Breade, shal liue for euer.
This talk impeacheth no man, but your self. For you tell us, and would have it holden, as an Article of your Faith, not only, that the wicked man without Faith, but also that the dumb creature void of Reason, may receive the very Body of Christ, and that Substantially, Verily, & in deed. Thus you divide and sunder Christs Body, from his Sprite: and, contrary to Theophylacte, and to all the Ancient Fathers, and to Christ him self, ye say, It may be Really received without Life.
