This guess hangeth not of S. Cyprian's words, but of M. Hardinges Exposition. ⟨p. 605⟩For S. Cyprian calleth the Sacrament, neither Lord, nor God. The man, that he speaketh of, having denied God in time of persecution, and nevertheless afterwards receiving the Holy Communion among other Christians, opened his hand, and found the Sacrament turned into ashes. By this Miracle, saith S. Cyprian, We are taught to understand, that God, when he is denied, departeth from us.

The man, that he speaketh of, hauinge denied God in time of persequ•tion, and neuerthelesse afterwardes receiuinge the Holy Communion emonge other Christians, opened his hande, and founde the Sacrament turned into asshes. By this Miracle, saithe S. Cyprian, Wee are taught to vnderstande, that God, when he is denied, departeth from vs.
I trow, M. Harding will not say, That the Sacrament had ever denied God: and yet by his exposition, God was departed, and gone from it: nor will he say, that this man had denied the Sacrament: For he came amongst others, to receive the Sacrament. But he had dissembled, and forsaken God: and therefore God had likewise forsaken him: and in token thereof he caused the Sacrament to moulder into ashes in his hands.
