Good Christian Reader, now that M. Harding hath said so much, as he is able, it behooveth thee, as thou wilt judge indifferently between us both, so to consider, and mark well the very state, and issue of the matter, wherein the whole question lieth. The negative of our side, which so much troubleth him, is this: That for the space of six hundred years after Christ, it can not be found in any old Doctor, or Council, that ever the holy Communion was ministered to the people in the Church, or any open assembly in One Kind only, as it is now ministered in the Church of Rome. The issue therefore of the whole matter between us, standeth upon the order, and usage of the Church.
