Where as of the nature of this word Communio, which is most commonly used in all the old Fathers, I took occasion to say that the Priest ought to communicate with the people, for that otherwise it cannot justly be called a Communion, M. Harding maketh answer, as a man well brooking his own learning, That this reason is weak, and unlearned, as proceeding all together of ignorance. Here to leave all contention of learning, and only to have regard unto the truth, If the very nature of this word Communio, 1import not a thing to be common, as it is supposed, much less may it, as I judge, import a thing to be private.

It is named Communio, saith M. Harding, of the effect that it worketh in us, because by the same we are joined unto God: not because many Communicate together in one place. And for proof hereof he allegeth the authority of Dionysius: wherein he doth great wrong to that good old Father, alleging his authority for the Mass, that never spake word of the Mass.
