We say, We touch not christs Body with our Mouthe, or Teeth. What, say you, be ye used to swallow down whole morsels? Such childish, and wanton talk, M. Harding, specially in the debating of matters of Religion, would better become some lighter Person. We know, that, as S. Augustine saithe, Gratia Christi non Consumitur morsibus: 1The Grace of Christ is not Consumed by morsels. Ye might have made the like answer to S. Augustine: For he saith to you, as I have alleged him before, What preparest thou thy Tooth, and thy Belly? O M. Harding, the Eating of the Body of Christ, is a work Spiritual, and needeth neither bruising of tooth: nor swallowing of throat: nor help of the outward, and bodily mouth. If ye know thus much, why do you dissemble it? If ye know it not, ye come too rathe, to speak of these things.
