The B. of Sarisburie.
There have been many great abuses about the holy Mysteries, not only of late years in the Church of Rome, whereof we justly complain: but also in the primitive Church, even from the Apostles time. For some there were, that ministered in water only: some that ministered milk in stead of Wine:1 some bruised grapes into the Cup, and so ministered:2 some ministered Bread and Cheese together: some dipped the Sacrament of Christs Body in the Sacrament of his Blood. But neither this folly, whereof Julius speaketh, nor any other like old folly, was ever renewed by any of us. In deed M. Harding, and all the rest of that side, have used to break the Bread, and to dip the third part of it into the Wine, and for the same have devised a solemn Mystery. For some of them say, it signifieth Christs rising from the dead: some, the faithful that be yet alive: some others, the Blessed, that be in Heaven. And yet M. Harding knoweth, that Julius calleth it a Schismatical ambition, and a practise contrary to the Apostles Doctrine.
There haue béene many great abuses aboute the holy Mysteries, not onely of late yéeres in the Churche of Rome, whereof we iustly complaine: but also in the primitiue Churche, euen from the Apostles time. For some there were, that ministred in water onely: some that ministred milke in steede of Wine:1 some brused grapes into the Cuppe, and so ministred:2 some ministred Breade and Cheese together: some dipte the Sacrament of Christes Bodie in the Sacrament of his Bloud. But neither this folie, whereof Iulius speaketh, nor any other like olde folie, was euer renewed by any of vs. In déede M. Hardinge, and al the reste of that side, haue vsed to breake the Breade, and to dippe the thirde parte of it into the Wine, and for the same haue diuised a solemn Mysterie. For some of them say, it signifieth Christes risinge from the deade: some, the faithful that be yet aliue: some others, the Blissed, that be in Heauen. And yet M. Hardinge knoweth, that Iulius calleth it a Schismatical ambition, and a practise contrary to the Apostles Doctrine.
