And, if it had pleased M. Harding, to have taken better view of his places, thus he might have seen S. Augustine him self, even in the same place, expound him self. For thus he saithe, Nulli est aliquatenus ambigendum, 1tunc unumquenque Fidelium Corporis, & Sanguinis Domini participem fieri, quando in Baptismate membrum Christi efficitur: nec alienari ab illius Panis, Calicisque consortio, etiam si, antequam Panem illum Comedat, & Calicem bibat, de hoc saeculo in unitate Corporis Christi constitutus abscedat. Sacramenti enim illius participatione ac beneficio non privatur, quando ipse hoc, quod illud Sacramentum Significat, inuenit: No man may anywise doubt, but that every Faithful man is then made partaker of the Body, and Blood of Christ, when in Baptism he is made a member of Christ: and, that he is not put from the fellowship of that Bread, and Cup, although he depart this life in the Unity of Christs Body, before he Eat of that Bread, or Drink of that Cup. For he looseth not the partaking, and benefit of that Sacrament, so long as he findeth the thing (that is, the Body of Christ it self) which is Signified by that Sacrament. Here S. Augustine teacheth us, that a Faithful man is partaker of Christs Body it self, yea although he receive not the Sacrament of his Body.
And, if it had pleased M. Hardinge, to haue taken better viewe of his places, thus he might haue séene S. Augustine him selfe, euen in the same place, expounde him selfe. For thus he saithe, Nulli est aliquatenus ambigendum, 1tunc vnumquenque Fidelium Corporis, & Sanguinis Domini participem fieri, quando in Baptismate membrum Christi efficitur: nec alienari ab illius Panis, Calicisque consortio, etiam si, antequam Panem illum Comedat, & Calicem bibat, de hoc saeculo in vnitate Corporis Christi constitutus abscedat. Sacramenti enim illius participatione ac beneficio non priuatur, quando ipse hoc, quod illud Sacramentum Significat, inuenit: Noman may anywyse doubte, but that euery Faithful man is then made partetaker of the Bodie, and Bloude of Christe, when in Baptisme he is made a member of Christe: and, that he is not put from the felowship of that Breade, and Cuppe, although he departe this life in the Vnitie of Christes Bodie, before he Eate of that Breade, or Drinke of that Cuppe. For he looseth not the partetaking, and benefite of that Sacrament, so longe as he findeth the thing (that is, the Bodie of Christe it self) whiche is Signified by that Sacramente. Here S. Augustine teacheth vs, that a Faithful man is partetaker of Christes Bodie it selfe, ye althoughe he receiue not the Sacrament of his Bodie.
