Harding seemeth to reason thus: In the time of the Old Testament it was not lawful, for every of the people, to behold the Ark of God, and the things therein contained: Ergo, the Priest ought to pronounce the words of Consecration in Silence, and secretly to him self. This simple reason holdeth from Moses, to Christ: from the Old Testament, to the New: from Seeing, to Hearing: and to be short, from somewhat, to nothing: and serveth only to control all the Ancient Fathers of the Church, who, as M.
