But they them selves see well, it cannot be: 1and therefore have devised a simple poor help of their own. They say, 2We may not Adore the Sacrament, but under a Condition, that is to say, If it be Consecrate. And so saith Thomas Salisburiensis,3 Nullus quantumcunque sit simplex, vel quantumcunque sit discretus, debet praecisé credere, hoc esse Corpus Domini: Sed cum hac conditione, si in Consecratione ritè sint acta omnia. Aliter enim asseret de Creatura, quod ipsa sit Creator: & ita esset Idololatria. Noman, be he never so simple, or never so wise, ought precisely to believe, that this is the Body of our Lord, that the Priest hath Consecrate, but only under this condition, If all things concerning the Consecration be done, as appertaineth. For otherwise he shall avouch a Creature to be the Creator: which were Idolatry. By this Doctrine M. Harding teacheth the people thus to kneel down, and to Adore the Sacrament: If thou •e God in deed, then I worship thee: But, if thou be not God, then I will not worship thee. ⟨p. 412⟩Thus Arnobius saith, The Heathens in old time were wont to call upon Jupiter, Sive tu Deus es, sive tu Dea es: Whether thou be a God, or a Goddess, we call upon thee. Thus God's people is lead, to give the honour of God, they cannot tell, unto what: and to honour a Creature in stead of God.
But they them selues see wel, it cannot be: 1and therefore haue diuised a simple poore healpe of theire owne. They saie, 2We maie not Adoure the Sacrament, but vnder a Condition, that is to saie, If it be Consecrate. And so saith Thomas Salisburiensis,3 Nullus quantumcunque sit simplex, vel quantumcunque sit discretus, debet praecisé credere, hoc esse Corpus Domini: Sed cum hac conditione, si in Consecratione ritè sint acta omnia. Aliter enim asseret de Creatura, quod ipsa sit Creator: & ita esset Idololatria. Noman, be he neuer so simple, or neuer so wise, ought precisely to beleue, that this is the Bodie of our Lorde, that the Priest hath Consecrate, but onely vnder this condition, If al thinges concerninge the Consecration be donne, as apperteineth. For otherwise he shal auouche a Creature to be the Creator: whiche were Idolatrie. By this Doctrine M. Hardinge teacheth the people thus to kneele downe, and to Adoure the Sacrament: If thou e God in deede, then I woorship the: But, if thou be not God, then I wil not woorship thee.
