Further, Howe can ye assure your selves, say you, that your Faith receiveth the Body of Christ, Which was never promised to your Faith? By the way, I beseech you, M. Harding, when, or where was Christs Body ever promised to your Mouthe? Verily Christ promised his Body to he received by Faith, and by Faith Only, and none otherwise. 1For thus he saith, Ego sum Panis ille Vitae: qui venit ad me, non esurier: & qui credit in me, non sitiet unquam: I am that Bread of Life: He that cometh unto me, shall never hunger: and he that Believeth in me, shall never thirst. Here have you, M. Harding, a plain promise made unto our Faith. But of your Mouthe, we hear nothing. If you have ought to show out of the Scriptures, Doctors, or Councils, let it appear, & that in plain words, without colour. Otherwise, if ye cavil in words, we must say, ye have nothing. Therefore the Ancient Father Origen saith, Idcircò dicitur Panis vitae, ut habeat Gustus Animae, quod deguster: 2Therefore is Christ called the Bread of Life, that (our Faith which is) the Taste of our soul, may hove, what to taste.
Further, Howe can ye assure your selues, saye you, that your Faithe receiueth the Body of Christe, VVhiche was neuer promised to your Faithe? By the waie, I beséeche you, M. Hardinge, when, or where was Christes Body euer promised to your Mouthe? Verily Christe promised his Body to he receiued by Faithe, and by Faithe Onely, and none othervvise. 1For thus he saithe, Ego sum Panis ille Vitae: qui venit ad me, non esurier: & qui credit in me, non sitiet vnquam: I am that Breade of Life: He that commeth vnto me, shal neuer hunger: and he that Beleeueth in me, shal neuer thirste. Here haue you, M. Hardinge, a plaine promisse made vnto our Faithe. But of your Mouthe, wée heare nothinge. If you haue ought to shewe out of the Scriptures, Doctours, or Councelles, let it appeare, & that in plaine woordes, without coloure. Otherwise, if ye cauil in woordes, wée muste saie, ye haue nothinge. Therefore the Auncient Father Origen saith, Idcircò dicitur Panis vitae, vt habeat Gustus Animae, quod deguster: 2Therefore is Christe called the Breade of Life, that (our Faithe whiche is) the Taste of our soule, maie houe, what to taste.
