These Doctors lived within these two, or three hundred years, and are such, as M. Harding thought not worth the naming. Their Doctrine in these cases is very unsavoury, and without comfort. Generally they hold, that Christs ⟨p. 347⟩Body remaineth no longer in our Bodies, but only until the forms of the Bread, and Wine begin to alter. Some others say, that as soon as our teeth touch the Bread, straight ways Christs Body is taken up into Heaven. The words be these:1 Cerrum est, quod quàm citò Species dentibus teruntur, tam citò in coelum rapitur Corpus Christi. 2This Doctrine notwithstanding, they say, That Christ is Naturally, and Corporally within us. Here may a man say unto M. Harding, as he did before to the Arian Heretic:3 What, troweth M. Harding, or his New Doctors, that Christ cometh to us from Heaven, and by and by forsaketh us? Or, that we eat Christ, and yet receive him not? Or, that we receive Christ, and yet have him not? Or, that Christ is Corporally within us, and yet entereth not? Is this Christs natural being in us? Is this the Virtue of the Mystical Benediction? Is this the meaning of these holy Fathers? Or troweth M. Harding, that holding, and maintaining such absurdities, his Reader, be he never so simple, will believe him?
