Yet ye press the matter further: S. Paul saith, Who so eateth unworthily of this Bread, is guilty of the Body and Blood of Christ: Ergo, say you, Christs Body, and Blood must needs be Really Present. Here, Master Harding, it were a worthy ⟨p. 587⟩matter,1 to see, by what engines ye would prove these hasty Conclusions, or how ye would force this Guilt, and this Presence to go together. For, think you, that no man can be guilty of the Body, and Blood of Christ, but he, that hath Christs Body, and Blood Really Present in his hand? Verily, S. Augustine saith,2 Reus erit, non parui preiij, sed Sanguinis Christi, qui violat, & commaculat Animam, Christi Sanguine, & Passione mundatam: He is Guilty of no small Price, but even of the Blood of Christ, that (by Fornication, or Adultery) defileth his own soul, that was made clean by the Passion, and Blood of Christ. Yet hath he not therefore Christs Blood Really Present.
