Now, for as much as M. Harding saith, S. Augustine in this place maketh no mention of the receiving of Christs Body in the Sacrament, it shall not be from the purpose to consider, what he hath written otherwheres, touching the same. 1Thus he saithe, Christus est Cibus noster, quo nihil dulcius: Sed si quis habeat Palatum sanum in Cord: Christ him self is our Meat, then which there is nothing more savoury: so that a man have a sound taste in his Harte. Again he saithe, 2Dominus dixit se Panem, qui de Coelo descendit, hortans ut Credamus in eum. Credere enim in eum, hoc est Manducare Panem vivum. Qui Credit in eum, Manducat: Inuisibiliter Saginatur, quia Inuisibiliter renascitur. Infans Intus est: Novus Intus est: ubi novellatur, ibi satiatur: Our Lord called him self the Bread, that came from Heaven, exhorting us to Believe in him. For to Believe in him, that is to Eat the Bread of Life. He Eateth, that Believeth in him. He is fed Invisibly, because he is new borne Invisibly. In worldly he is an Infant: Inwardly he is New. Where he is renewed, there is he filled.
Nowe, for as mutche as M. Hardinge saithe, S. Augustine in this place maketh no mention of the receiuinge of Christes Body in the Sacramente, it shal not be from the purpose to consider, what he hath written otherwheres, touchinge the same. 1Thus he saithe, Christus est Cibus noster, quo nihil dulcius: Sed si quis habeat Palatum sanum in Corde: Christe him selfe is oure Meate, then whiche there is nothinge more sauerie: so that a man haue a sounde taste in his Harte. Againe he saithe, 2Dominus dixit se Panem, qui de Coelo descendit, hortans vt Credamus in eum. Credere enim in eum, hoc est Manducare Panem viuum. Qui Credit in eum, Manducat: Inuisibiliter Saginatur, quia Inuisibiliter renascitur. Infans Intus est: Nouus Intus est: vbi nouellatur, ibi satiatur: Our Lorde called him selfe the Breade, that came from Heauen, exhortinge vs to Beleue in him. For to Beleue in him, that is to Eate the Breade of Life. He Eateth, that Beleeueth in him. He is fedde Inuisibly, bicause he is newe borne Inuisibly. In wardely he is an Infante: Inwardely he is Newe. Where he is renewed, there is he filled.
