But specially, I beseech you, M. Harding, consider well these words of S. Hierome,1 and see, whether ye may apply them to your selves, or no: In Consummation Mundi scrutabitur Dominus Hierusalem, id est, Ecclesiam suam cum Lucerna, & ulciscetur super viros Contemptores, qui noluerunt Seruare Custodias suas, id est, Mandata Domini Contempserunt: & insuper Ratione se peccare dicentes, blasphemaverunt in Cordibus suis: In the end of the World our Lord shall search Jerusalem, that is to say, his Church, with a Candle, and shall wreak him self upon the despisers, that would not keep their watches, that is to say, that despised the Commandments of God: and over, and besides this, saying, they had good Causes, and Reasons, wherefore they should offend, (& break God's Commandments,) they blasphemed in their Hearts.

That ye surmise of Gelasius, is most untrue. He speaketh not one Word there, of the dividing of Christ, as you imagine: nor had he any cause so to speak. But he saith in most plain wise, It is Sacrilege to do the same thing, that you do, that is to say, to divide the Sacrament, & to Minister the One part, as ye do, without the other.
