S. Augustine in that place speaketh not one word of any number, but only of the time of receiving, whether it might seem convenient to Minister the Communion after supper, as Christ did to his Disciples, and some used then to do, as appeareth by the words that follow, Nam si hoc ille monuisset, ut post cibos alios semper acciperetur, credo quod eum morem nemo variasset: For if Christ had commanded that the Sacrament should ever be received after other meats,1 I believe no man would have changed that order. It is wrong dealing to bring one thing for another: to allege number in stead of time: and of S. Augustine's words to conclude that S. Augustine ⟨p. 21⟩never meant. For that S. Augustine requireth a number of Communicants, it appeareth by that immediately in the same place, he allegeth the words of S.

Hierome and others, witnesseth that the whole people daily received together, and generally entreating of the holy Communion, he speaketh evermore of a number, and never of one alone.

It is wronge dealyng to bringe one thynge for another: to allege number in stéede of time: and of S. Augustines woordes to conclude that S. Augustine ⟨p. 21⟩neuer meante. For that S. Augustine requireth a number of Communicantes, it appeareth by that immediatly in the same place, he allegeth the woordes of S. Paule,
