To come near to the purpose, 1S. Augustine saith, Habent Foris Sacramentum Corporis Christi: sed Rem ipsam non tenent Intus, cuius est illud Sacramentum. Et ideò sibi judicium manducant, & bibunt: Outwardly they have the Sacrament of Christs Body: But the thing it self (which is Christs Body, represented by the Sacrament) inwardly in their hearts they have not. And therefore they Eat, and Drink their own judgement. S. Augustine saith, they are Guilty, not because they receive, but because they receive not the Body of Christ.
To comme neare to the pourpose, 1S. Augustine saithe, Habent Foris Sacramentum Corporis Christi: sed Rem ipsam non tenent Intus, cuius est illud Sacramentum. Et ideò sibi iudicium manducant, & bibunt: Outwardly they haue the Sacramente of Christes Body: But the thinge it selfe (whiche is Christes Body, represented by the Sacramente) inwardly in theire hartes they haue not. And therefore they Eate, and Drinke their owne iudgemente. S. Augustine saithe, they are Guilty, not bicause they receiue, but bicause they receiue not the Body of Christe.
- 1August. Ad Bonifaci. Epist. 50.
Again he saithe, 1Qui non manet in Christo, & in quo non manet Christus, procul dubio non Manducat Spiritualiter Carnem eius, nec Bibit eius Sanguinem: licet Carnaliter, & Visibiliter premat dentibus Sacramentum Corporis, & Sanguinis Christi: Sed magis tantae rei Sacramentum ad Judicium sibi Manducat & Bibit: He that abideth not in Christ, nor Christ in him, out of doubt he eateth not Spiritually his Flesh, nor Drinketh his Blood: not withstanding Carnally (that is to say, with his bodily Mouthe) and visibly he do press with his teethe the Sacrament of the Body, and Blood of Christ: And rather, eateth and drinketh (not Christs very Body, and Blood, but) the Sacrament of so great a thing unto his Judgement. These words, M. Harding, be so plain, that I cannot imagine, what ye should more desire. They are Guilty of the blood of Christ, for that they despise the price, wherewith they were saved, not for that they receive it Really into their mouths.
