Either of them knew, and confessed, that Christs Body ought to be Adored with godly honour, for that it is joined in one person with the Divinity. But the one of them saith, Notwithstanding Christs Body be Present in the Sacrament, yet it is not there, to that use, and purpose, to be honoured: neither have we any warrant of God's word, so to honour it. So is Christs Body in us Naturally, Really, Corporally, Carnally, Substantially, and in deed. Yet may we not therefore one kneel down to an other, so to Adore Christ being there Present with godly honour. Thus the whole disagreement of these two learned Fathers, stood only in this one point, of the manner of Christs Presence. Otherwise their whole hearts were joined and bent together to the disclosing of Falsehood, and Hypocrisy, and to the advancing of Gods Glory.

We wonder not, as M. Harding thinketh, at his strange term, Concomitantia, which he hath here brought in, as a special stay of his ruinous Doctrine: notwithstanding S. Paul hath charged us,1 to beware of such New Fangled wicked words:2 But we wonder, to see the same term so childishly applied to so vain a purpose. In deed these terms Homousios, Humanatio, Incarnatio, are not found expressed in the Scriptures. Yet is the sense, and meaning of the same terms, as Epiphanius saith, easy everywhere to be found.
