But what is there so plain, as these words of Athanasius? Quot Hominibus suffecisset Corpus eius ad Cibū, ut Universi Mundi alimonia fieret? Propterea Ascensionis suae in Coelum mentionem fecit, ut eos à corporally intellectu abstraheret: Unto how many men could Christs Body have sufficed for meat, that he should be y• Food of all the World?

Here, M. Harding, I beseech you, tell us by the way, when ye teach us, that Christs Body is Fleshly Present: that it is received into the Mouthe: that it is chewed, and bruised with teethe: and that it passeth further into the belly, how do you withdraw our minds from Fleshly, and Corporal understanding? If this Eating be Spiritual, what Eating may be counted Corporal?
