For first, as M. Harding is deceived in the manner of Breaking, so is he also deceived in the quantity of the Bread, imagining, it was a little thin round Cake, such as of late hath been used in the Church of Rome: Which (Durandus saith) must be round like a Penny: either because Judas betrayed Christ for some like kind of Coin: 1or, because it is written, Domini est Terra, & plenitudo eius, The Earthe is the Lords, and the fullness thereof. But in deed, it was a great Cake, so large, and so thick, that all the Congregation might receive of it. Durandus him self saith, In Primitiva Ecclesia offerebant Unum Magnum Panem, 2& omnibus sufficientem: 3quod adhuc Graeci seruare dicuntur. In the Primitive Church they offered One Great Cake, that was sufficient for all the people: which thing, they say, The Greeks do continue still. 4In Chrysostoms Liturgy, or, Communion, we see both the Form of the Bread, and also the order of Cutting, or Dividing it with a knife. Gentianus Heruetus in the Description thereof, saith: Est Panis Cra•sus, & Fermentatus, & Figura propemodum Sphaerica: It is a Thick Cake, and Leavened, and of Form in manner round. 5It appeareth by S. Gregory, that it was a Great Cake, such as men used commonly at their Tables: which thing appeareth also, by that the Heretics called Artotyritae, 6added Cheese unto it: and so Ministered the Communion in Bread,7 and Cheese. And Paulinus sending such a Cake unto S. Augustine, sent also this greeting withal:8 Panem unum, quem unanimitatis indicio misimus Charitati tuae, rogamus, ut accipiendo benedicas: This one loaf, or Cake, which I have sent unto you in token of unity, I beseech you, receiving the same, to bliss it. And perhaps Ignatius in respect hereof saide: Unus est Panis pro omnibus Fractus: There is one loaf, or Cake Broken for all. And S. Basile, Idem est virtute, sive unam partem quis accipiat a Sacerdote, sive plures parts simul. t is all one in effect, whether a man take one only part of the Priest, or many parts together. It is likely, he useth these words, Part, and Parts, in respect of one whole. Durandus saith, That in his time, the prest in some Churches Dividing the Sacrament into three portions,
