Now to show, what might be said of our side, were labour infinite. For our Doctrine taketh no authority of Private Folk, of Women, of Forcelettes, of Napkins, of Sick Bodies, of Death Beds, of Miracles, of Fables, of Children, and of Mad men: which be the only grounds of all that M. Harding seemeth hitherto able to say: But of Christs Institution, of the Scriptures, of the Practise of the Apostles, of the usage of the Primitive Church, of old Canons, of ancient Councils, of Catholic Fathers, Greeks, and Latins Old, and New: even of Clemens, Obadiah, and Amphilochius,1 which are M. Hardinges peculiar Doctors. S. Chrysostom saith, In the receiving of the holy Mysteries there is no difference between Priest and people. Dionysius saith, The unity of the Cup is divided unto all. Ignatius saith, One Cup is divided unto the whole Church. S. Augustine saith, We drink all together, because we live all together. But to reckon up the authorities of antiquity, as I said, it would be infinite.
