S. Ambrose, and S. Augustine, as they agree together for the exposition of the Psalm, so, touching the matter it self, neither do they any wise disagree from us, nor any wise agree with M. Harding. They teach us humbly to Adore Christs Flesh: but they teach us not to Adore the Sacrament of Christs Flesh. Thus M. Harding hath taken a needless labour, to prove a matter, that is already proved: but the thing, that he should have proved, he toucheth not. This is to bold abusing of the simple Reader, to bear him in hand, that these godly Fathers teach us to Adore the Sacrament, that spake not one word of Adoring the Sacrament.
S. Ambrose, and S. Augustine, as thei agrée togeather for the exposition of the Psalme, so, touchinge the mater it selfe, neither doo they any wise disagree from vs, nor any wise agrée with M. Hardinge. They teache vs humbly to Adoure Christes Fleashe: but they teache vs not to Adoure the Sacrament of Christes Fleashe. Thus M. Hardinge hath taken a néedeles labour, to prooue a mater, that is already prooued: but the thinge, that he should haue prooued, he toucheth not. This is to bolde abusinge of the simple Reader, to beare him in hande, that these godly Fathers teache vs to Adoure the Sacrament, that spake not one woorde of Adouringe the Sacrament.
But M. Harding will say, We must Adore the Flesh of Christ. We grant: we believe it: it is our Faith: we teach the people, as the old learned Fathers did, that no man eateth that Flesh, but first he Adoreth it: and that he deadly offendeth God, and is wicked, and guilty of the Lords Body, that Adoreth it not.
