To be short, S. Augustine speaketh not one word, neither of this Carnal Presence: nor of Secrete Being under Covert: nor saith, as M. Harding saith, that the very Body of Christ is a Figure of Christs Body: nor imagineth in Christ two sundry sorts of Natural Bodies: nor knoweth any one of all these M. Hardinges strange Collections. Thus only he saith, Non hoc Corpus, quod videtis, manducaturi estis: Touching your Bodily mouth, Ye shall not Eat this Body of mine, that ye see. Of which words M. Harding, contrary to S. Augustine's express, and plain meaning, as his common wont is, concludeth the contrary: Ergo, with your Bodily Mouth, ye shall eat this self same Body in Substance, that ye see.
