But Chrysostome saith, Quod omnium Maximum est, atque Praecipuum, in terra non conspicaris tantùm, sed etiam tangis: nec tangis tantùm, sed etiam comedis: The greattest, and worthiest thing that is, thou dost not only behold in the Earth, but also touchest it: Neither dost thou only touch it, but also catest it. Here, I beseech you, M. Harding, dissemble no l•nger: but speak plainly. Howe do you behold the Body of Christ in the Sacrament? With what senses? With what eyes do you see it? If ye say, with your bodily eyes, why say you, Christs Body is there Invisible, covered with Accidents, and cannot be seen? If ye say, (as it is in deed) that ye see the same Body only with the Spiritual eyes of your Mind. then ye allege Chrysostom directly, and plainly against your self.

But S. Augustine saithe, Habet Fides oculos suos, Faith hath her eyes, to see withal.1 And S. Bernard saith, Visio animae, intellectus est: The seeinge of the Soul, is understanding. With these eyes we see Christ, that is to say, we understand Christ, or believe in Christ. S. Augustine saith, Velamen positum ⟨p. 273⟩
