S. Hierome saith, Pagani Does suos digito ostendunt: & ob hoc ingerunt mihi opprobria. Unde sciant, quòd ego mente Deum meum reconditum teneo, & per in•eriorem hom••em in ipso habito: The Heathens point their Gods with their finger: and that they lay to my reproach. But let them know, that I have my God hidden in my heart, and that by my in ward man I dwell in him.

Certainly, if the Sacrament could speak unto M. Harding, thus it would speak: I am a Creature, as S. Ambrose teacheth you: I am a fragment, or piece of Bread, as S. Cyril teacheth you: I am a thing insensible, and void of life, As Epiphanius teacheth you: I am a Corporal food, and pass into your bodies, and increase the Substance of your Flesh, as other meats do, As Origenes, and Ireneus have taught you: I mould, and putrefy, and am subject to corruption, As your eyes, and senses may easily teach you: I am a Sacrament of Christ, I am not Christ: I am a Creature of God, I am not God: ye do wrong unto me, ye do wrong unto God: The worms of the Earth, and the birds of the Air will condemn your folly: Give not this honour unto me: give Godly honour unto God. If the Sacrament could speak unto M. Harding, thus would it speak: and being a dumb, and a lifeless thing, and not able to speak, yet thus it speaketh.
Certainely, yf the Sacramente coulde speake vnto M. Hardinge, thus it woulde speake: I am a Creature, as S. Ambrose teacheth yow: I am a fragmēte, or peece of Bread, as S. Cyril teacheth yow: I am a thinge insensible, and voide of life, As Epiphanius teacheth yow: I am a Corporal foode, and passe into your bodies, and increase the Substance of your Fleashe, as other meates doo, As Origenes, and Ireneus haue taught yow: I moulde, and putrefie, and am subiecte to corruption, As your eies, and senses maie easily teache yow: I am a Sacramente of Christe, I am not Christe: I am a Creature of God, I am not God: ye doo wronge vnto mee, ye doo wronge vnto God: The woormes of the Earth, and the birdes of the Aire wil condemne your folie: Geue not this honour vnto mee: geue Godly honour vnto God. Yf the Sacramente coulde speake vnto M. Hardinge, thus woulde it speake: and beinge a dumme, and a liuelesse thinge, and not hable to speake, yet thus it speakethe.
