Here it is further surmised, that Leo, and Gelasius, by their Decrees, restored the Catholic people again to the use of Both Kinds. This is utterly untrue. And may be guessed by M. Harding, but cannot any way be proved.
Here it is further surmised, that Leo, and Gelasius, by their Decrées, restoared the Catholike people againe to the vse of Bothe Kindes. This is vtterly vntrue. And may be gheassed by M. Hardinge, but cannot any way be prooued.
The Decrees of Leo, and Gelasius, be abroad, and may be known. But where are these Decrees? In what Books are they written? Or who ever made mention of them? Verily these godly Fathers reproved the Manichees for their Sacrilege, and not the Catholics: and commanded such as had offended, to correct their faults, and not such as were faultless.
The Decrées of Leo, and Gelasius, be abroade, and may be knowen. But where are these Decrees? In what Bookes are they written? Or who euer made mention of them? Uerely these godly Fathers reprooued the Manichées for their Sacrilege, and not the Catholikes: and commaunded suche as had offended, to correcte their faultes, and not suche as were faultlesse.
But how could the Manichees have been known (saith M. Harding) Onlesse the Catholic people among whom they received, had Communicate in One Kind? This question is out of course. I might better say, Nay how could the Manichees have been known, if they and the Catholics had received in One Kind both a like? For this is the token that Leo would have them known by: Sanguinē redemptionis nostrae haurire detrectant. They refuse to drink the Blood of our Redemption. By these words it is clear, that the Cup was offered orderly unto them, as unto others: but they refused it.
