This Authority, as it nothing hindereth us, so it nothing furthereth M. Harding. We say, that at that Holy Table our Faith is directed, not unto a fantasy, but unto the very Body, and Blood of Christ, and tasteth it, and feedeth on it: and that as verily, and as effectually, as our Body feedeth upon material food. And we add further, That, who so ever eateth not Christs Flesh,1 nor drinketh his Blood, shall not have everlasting life. But the thing, that we receive with our mouth, is not the same thing, that we receive with our Faith. For, as it is before alleged out of S. Augustine,2 Aliud est Sacramentum, aliud res Sacramenti. The Sacrament is one thing, and the Matter, or Substance of the Sacrament, which is Christs very Body, is an other thing.
This Authoritie, as it nothinge hindereth vs, so it nothinge furthereth M. Hardinge. Wee saye, that at that Holy Table oure Faithe is directed, not vnto a fantasie, but vnto the very Bodie, and Bloude of Christe, and tasteth it, and feedeth on it: and that as verily, and as effectually, as our Bodie feedeth vpon material foode. And we adde further, That, who so euer eateth not Christes Fleashe,1 nor drinketh his Bloude, shal not haue euerlastinge life. But the thinge, that we receiue with our mouth, is not the same thing, that we receiue with our Faith. For, as it is before alleged out of S. Augustine,2 Aliud est Sacramentum, aliud res Sacramenti. The Sacrament is one thinge, and the Mater, or Substance of the Sacrament, whiche is Christes very Bodie, is an other thinge.
